I blogged it.
I never thought I'd get so personal on my blog, but... it I just felt like getting it all out.
The post is here if you're interested in all the details. Just wanted to share.

Oh Linds I'm so glad you shared this in your blog, not only for yourself, but I'm sure there are other readers out there who have been through this themselves. Hopefully it helps a little to know there are people who have been through and have come out well on the other end, just like your nurse.
You know we're all here for you whenever you need anything.

Aww, girls, I didn't mean to make any of you tear up!! Thanks so much for all of the support. I still think it's weird that I just put that out there for the world to read, but I talked to Thomas about it for a long time and he was fine with it, too.
If even just one person can identify with it and get something positive from it, then I'll be happy.

Well, I'm in tears. Thank you for sharing.
This experience is a big part of who you are. Yes, it might diminish over time and you will think about it less often as the years pass, but right now (and for the near future) it is a defining moment for you. It's never been my style to hide the things that define me from people. If you didn't talk about it, then people would only know a part of you. I'm so glad you reached out to your support system and they reached right back. Bravo for sharing, and huge hugs to you and Thomas as you recover and grieve.
I cried. I am amazed at your strength and so glad that you have the support you have around you. This is so personal, and I give you so much credit for being open and honest and candid with your readers. :: hugs :: I can only imagine how hard it is, but there are people who go through something similar and have wonderful and beautiful babies later.
My mom went through something similar before I was born, and the doctors all told her that she'd never be able to have a baby. If she could defy those odds almost thirty years ago, I have no doubt that you and Thomas will be holding a little bundle of joy sooner than you think. Medicine and just our knowledge of the whole process has come so far. You'll be amazing parents, your baby will be so lucky to have you.

Thank you!! This is *exactly* what I was trying to explain to a few friends who were surprised that I was blogging about it. It's a moment and a situation that defines me, my life and even my marriage. I didn't want to let it just pass by like "Sshhh, it didn't happen." It's a big deal and I wanted to acknowledge and recognize it. I can't believe the amount of emails I'm getting from women who've experienced the same thing and told no one other than their families.

Aww, thank you so much. You made me cry!!

Oh, Tania {hugs!} Don't feel at all like you have to read it at all. I was actually surprised that people cried over it - I really tried to make it as light hearted as possible. Thanks so much for your support and for being here! Hope your day (or , well, night... or tomorrow) gets better!!

Lindsay, let me start out by saying that I am so sorry that you've had to go through this. You have to be one of the strongest people I know...I cannot imagine going through such pain. You are an amazing person; always in high spirits, always with positive advice to give. You can brighten anyone's day on here...not everyone can do that. You give off a sense of poise, honesty, friendliness, and compassion even through posts online. You are so genuine, Lindsay. All of these traits are going to help you through this tough time. You have such a positive energy and outlook...although I agree that everything happens for a reason, I would be a mess trying to move on from what you have. But you continue to keep your grace about you, sharing positive vibes to everyone you come across. I respect you for posting this in a blog. I'm sure it took a lot to put that out there, your most personal moment; you are very brave. I strive to be the kind of person you already are. Always remember that all of us are here if you ever need to talk/vent/whatever. We support you and are willing to reach out and do whatever it takes to get through this time. God bless you and take care. XOXO
Oh my goodness. I just don't know what to say. Thank you so much - that is just such a huge compliment and I'm so glad that you see me that way. Your words definitely lifted my spirit and I'm so happy to hear that I seem to come off in a positive manner - I'm definitely trying to, and it's not easy.
I wish I knew what else to say other than Thank You!

you are so incredibly strong and courageous for posting/sharing that with the world. Oh Lindsay, my heart just absolutely breaks for you and I don't know if I could ever be as strong as you are in this moment.
Again, I am so sorry.
