The donts of supporting friend experiencing RPL - surrogacy

34 female. Two miscarriages in under a year. Saw a fertility specialist and I learned I have a unicornuate uterus. Half of a uterus essentially. It’s super rare. Pregnancy is still possible. But it will be more difficult and higher risk. Needless to say, I am devastated. I told a few close friends. Most of them have children. And two of them immediately offered to be my surrogate. I’m sure they didn’t mean to be offensive. But they offered before even asking if surrogacy is something I would be interested in (I’m not). In a time where everything felt so raw, it felt like just another reminder of ‘I get to experience pregnancy and you don’t’.

Has anyone else had friend offer ‘support’ but the message was received the way it was intended?

Unicornuate uterus

I have had two miscarriages within 8 months - both around 6 weeks. One passed on its own, the other required a D&C. Did karotyping with the POC, and nothing was abnormal. I also unexpectedly found out I was pregnant with a girl (I think they should have warned me they would test for that and tell me the results). My husband and I decided to get the standard infertility tests. We went today. I got a 3D ultrasound, and I may have a unicornuate uterus (one horn instead of two). I have to get an MRI to confirm. I am devastated and I am terrified. Terrified that I can't every carry a pregnancy. Terrified that if I do become pregnant again, I will just miscarry again or something bad could happen to me. Does anyone else here have a unicornuate uterus? What has been your experience with it regarding pregnancy?

A love letter to handsome John wrecked me

I saw a love letter to handsome John last night in my town’s theater. I knew the movie was going to make me cry. But holy shit it wrecked me from the very beginning. I’ve been listening to Todd snider since I was a little kid. My dad loved him. My dad was an addict. Died of liver failure in his early 50s. I know Todd battled addiction too. Throughout the entire film, Todd seemed really intoxicated and it made me so deeply sad. It breaks my heart to think about the timing of his death. That he died still suffering from addiction. Todd was a wonderful human. Just like my dad. And it’s so sad that they died still suffering from addiction 💔
