I go out of my way to not show symptoms and they usually appear during stress; we were in places I know well, doing what I do well and there were no stressors like crowding or noise (bakeries in late afternoon being pretty empty).SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-36837365284913634622010-08-02T12:42:15.985+02:002010-08-02T12:42:15.985+02:00apologies if this appears as a duplicate., i think...apologies if this appears as a duplicate., i think my comment got lost the first time around.<br /><br />Anger and Denial can be like irksomeparty guests who show up drunk and boisterous just after you are winding down and getting ready to go to bed. They'll hang around for awhile and I think ultimately they have to be entertained for awhile in order to get them to leave. They will leave, eventually, but you can't completely control the time. And it is good to listen to them a little bit, in any case one cannot help but listen to them a little bit. But do your thing, go about your life, they'll hang around for a bit and then ultimately get the hint and leave. I hope they leave soon.<br /><br />p.s. oh how I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during those hill repeats.PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-7835840702402025812010-08-02T11:58:14.306+02:002010-08-02T11:58:14.306+02:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-41302190450850881932010-08-02T04:01:34.296+02:002010-08-02T04:01:34.296+02:00You seem a little down, which is understandable gi...You seem a little down, which is understandable given the circumstances. I am glad (again) for your honesty and willingness to make yourself emotionally vulnerable in such a public forum. Many women suffer through miscarriage in silence.

You have gotten pregnant once now, so you know you can, and you will again. <br /><br />Thank you for the advice on the beta-HCG. I know about choriocarcinomas but it actually didn't occur to me to worry about it. I will be sure to get the level checked again. Thank you.<br /><br />I have to apologize that I was writing the comment to Steve, Olga and Marathon Princess when you were writing yours. So I wasn't ignoring your comment. Anyway, wow, I guess we never expected to go through THIS together, but we will make it out of this pkay and maybe become stronger women. My thoughts are with you and Brett.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-59368212294383549452010-08-01T22:03:10.246+02:002010-08-01T22:03:10.246+02:00oops. apparently the first long one did go through...oops. apparently the first long one did go through!cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-86166818934369278622010-08-01T22:02:35.127+02:002010-08-01T22:02:35.127+02:00(and part 2 because apparently part 1 was long!) a...(and part 2 because apparently part 1 was long!) anyway, just thought I'd pass that on. I feel like I've dealt with things already...yet i know there are more emotions to come. I cango from happy to suddenly getting this feeling of sadness or just tears in an instant or I get angered easily....at the moment I feel in limbo KNOWING my body will miscarry soon. A part of me thinks I shouldn't have said so much so early to people, but then another part says angrily "This is life! WHY are people expected to hide this?" Anyway, FWIW you PROVED in your first pregnancy that exercise and a healthy baby are possible. Many other women are proving the same. You know what, a few chromosomes or whatever just got confused as they were multiplying at a phenomenal rate - what control do you have over them?? None. As you say, POWERLESS. I'm trying to see my loss as my body's way of being SMART enough to know EARLY this wasn't a viable pregnancy...that the next one will be perfect and my body will keep it because it will know it is perfect. Yours will be too. Thinking of you - I'm glad you got to enjoy parts of your trip, it sounded wonderful.cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-61462506695237255802010-08-01T22:01:32.744+02:002010-08-01T22:01:32.744+02:00Cool, Olga.

Should I point out that we were on a bike ride when we saw the moon rising? I'm still not the type to just sit around, even on the day of the miscarriage. Some things about SLG will never change.<br /><br />Steve,<br />Hmmm... I guess there is a slight difference between fifth overall and fifth in age class. But your time was still impressive!<br />Chelsea's wedding was not boring at all. But of course, it helped to know Bill and Hil so well.<br /><br />MP, we will definitely invite you along for the run next time! It would also be so fun to see your beautiful little Ophelia. Maybe we could have a baby jogger race up the brickyard hill :).sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-69437117646617399392010-08-01T22:01:05.907+02:002010-08-01T22:01:05.907+02:00Hi SLG, I too am about to go through what you have...Hi SLG, I too am about to go through what you have been through (pregnant together, almost miscarry together, geesh). Standard fetal heartbeat check last week turned up no heartbeat, so I got my Beta HCG tested...yep, dropping. But it was high-ish (40 000 in the first test, 37 000 in next) so I am still waiting to miscarry (a second ultrasound 3 days later confirmed still no heartbeat)... Anyway, the doc told me a few days ago to make sure I do get a Beta HCG done after the miscarriage to ensure there is no "leftover material" in the uterus which the body continue to supply with HCG as this could become a tumor of sorts?

I enjoyed reading about your "normal" life, where you hook up with folks, and even though go for a run, it's not "all out", and then you eat food (I did same this morning). Where you sit on a bench and watch the sunset (or sunrise, or full moon). Where you deal with guilt, and probably will never rid of it, or of your body image (neither will I, fully, everf, forgive myself for many things, or stop worrying about a spare tire I carry). And where it is all quite regular, and is called "life".Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.com
