walk dog, have shower, go to ikea ( need frames. and yes I can go to ikea for exactly what i need and walk out with exactly what I originally intended and nothing more.)
I have decided to purse a life of temporary medicinal alcoholism. Well that and when i get asked what my drinking habits are per week, where they consider a drink a week or so "moderate", my "uh, three a year" is indication that perhaps I'm slacking.
And whatever, I did this after the second miscarriage. Its easier than dealing with the well intentioned but aggravating comments people make.
Somehow, people seem to assume I'm apparently stupid or that in this entire saga that no one's EVER told me 1/3-1/2 end in miscarriage. Why anyone would neglect to tell the miscarrier that fact is something to ponder.
I know genetics. infact, this doc was thrilled that he didn't have to "dumb it down.", I said 'sir, I've taken a second year genetics course and I'm pretty well versed in the intricacies of genetic recombination and such, so just out with it, we don't need to lower the bar much here."
This isn't a case of oops we thought we were pregnant but maybe it was just a heavy late period. This was, in the last round, 11 weeks of extreme nausea.
This has gone on three times. The odds of that are "re set" every pregnancy, but after three?
If you'd never ridden in a plane, but the first three times you did, it skidded off the runway and burst into flames, and people said "oh it happens 1 out of 3 times but you still have a good chance of a flight", would you get on that plane if you were the only one as a passenger every time?
Yeah. I don't think so.

Me too! Well, I'm not pretending it's for medicinal purposes...it's for educational purposes...
1/3-1/2 end in miscarriage
I didn't realize that miscarriages were that common.

Love it. What kind of things did he tell you? I'm wondering how he would talk to someone who knows genetics, versus someone who doesn't even know what a freaking chromosome is.
