This kind of sucks
So I've been MIA for awhile, but it's because of some things going on in my life. At first it was for a very happy reason. 2 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant (a bit of a surprise, but a happy one), and DH and I were super excited. Everything has been going fantastic, and life was perfect for a bit.
Then last week I started bleeding, and I ended up miscarrying.
DH has been super supportive throughout the whole ordeal, and now I'm coming to terms with it. It was my first pregnancy, so I guess I fit right in with that 1 in 3 first pregnancies miscarry statistic.
And it's sad because two friends of mine are currently pregnant, and have made it it to their second trimesters. So it's a bit depressing right now.
BUT...I'm ready to start again. I finish grad school in May, and there's plenty of time ahead of me right now. It just kind of sucks, because you never think it'll happen to you, and then it does.

I am so sorry to hear that! If you ever want to talk feel free to pm me or e-mail me. nest name at gmail dot com.
It's really tough to get through, big hugs to you and your H.
Thanks everyone for your support.
I am doing a lot better than I was a week ago, that's for sure.
I think I've miscarried naturally at this point. I passed some interesting things, that's for sure. I'm getting another blood test on Wednesday, but I've pretty much dried up at this point, and the cramping is finally gone.
I tell you one thing though...I'm excited to have sex again. During the 2-3 weeks I was pregnant, I cramped every time I was turned on.
