For me, personally, I felt like a freak and a failure. It certainly doesn’t help that you can see pregnant people but infertile people don’t look any different than anyone else so you have this visual of success around you. And once you have one everyone starts kind of whispering “I had one too” and you realize you’re…

Holy COW!!! I really good friend of mine (couple) had a miscarriage once and it was devastating. I could not imagine going through that multiple times. When do you decide the emotional strain is too much and you just give up? For me, it would have been after the 2nd one.

This is a poem that sums up so much of this experience:

I’m sorry you ever have to answer that fucking question.

My sister and I are 22 years apart. People like to joke about it. Oh, you’re an oops baby! Ha, your mom must’ve been empty nesting.

Thank you. It’s a horrible thing to deal with. I’m very relieved my wife and I had each other for support. 

I’ve written about it before but my wife and I went through our own bit of hell trying to have kids that almost killed her twice before we just gave up. It sucked. No need to give condolences as it was years ago and we’ve made our peace with it all.

This right here is why it should be considered an etiquette breach of the highest order to ask someone if he or she is trying for a baby. Best case scenario, you’ve invaded someone’s privacy that does not intend to have children and is fine with it. Worst case, you deeply hurt the feelings of someone who wants…

I am so sorry you had to go through that.

We had three miscarriages before our daughter. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through... made even harder by social media and the fact that it felt like everyone around me was announcing a pregnancy or a birth. I feel for Gabrielle, couldn’t imagine going through that’s heartache while also being in the…

At my yearly physical, my amazing internist was telling me that she wished women could talk more openly about their miscarriages, that there is such sorrow and isolation that’s associated with them. That it’s something that happens, and quite often, but it’s still devastating. I’m so happy you now have a precious…

We went through 3 miscarriages and 1 stillbirth before our lovely 2 year old boy joined our family. It’s an emotional hell I wish upon no one.

I started to type “unbelievable”, but then I realized that was a lie, because of course this response is exactly what you would expect from his ilk.

One word. One word says it all. What question does today’s one-word Code 45* answer? All of them, actually, according to the worst gang of so-called leaders in the history of representative democracy. “What do you call everything that’s great and fine?” That’s it. “How are you OK with exploiting, taking, raping,…

Oh god have you all seen Trump literally throwing rolls of paper towels at people in Puerto Rico, like one of those jackass guys at a sports game giving out tshirts? This is probably the most embarrassed I’ve ever been.

South Dakota Senator John Thune says it’s the victims fault that they got shot because they stood there like dumb targets instead of “get[ting] small”.

This week completely broke me. The events in Puerto Rico and vegas make me so profoundly sad and depressed.

They had a pregnancy scare. She wasn’t actually pregnant.

He thinks he’s Monty fucking Hall (RIP, btw). He thinks a desperate crowd of hurricane survivors are an audience. He thinks he is the benevolent game show host, and that giving out “prizes” will win him the adoration of his loyal viewers. This is actually a horrifying tableau reminiscent of feudal times. The people of…
