I went to target to buy a gift card & they told me that I needed to pay with a debit or credit card. Not a huge deal. Does anybody know why?

TW: missed miscarriage

Hi all. I apologize if this is the incorrect group to post this in.

I’m about two weeks post missed miscarriage and almost two weeks post d&c. My ob gave me the green light to start trying again. My husband and I had sex. I’ve heard that your HCG takes time to go down and it’s best for it to be at zero. I took a pregnancy test and it came back faint positive. Could this be because my hcg isn’t back to normal yet?

TW: pregnancy loss

…….

I had a miscarriage last week and had to get a d&c procedure on Monday. When I saw my doctor on Friday (same day I learned about my missed miscarriage) he provided me with a doctor’s note to be excused from work for a week to grieve and recover from my procedure. He said he could give me one for two weeks if i needed, i said I’d see how i feel and go back if i needed more time.

I notified management at work and let them know that i would be out for the week. I asked to use sick time and vacation time if needed (don’t have much time), but now I’m wondering if i have any bereavement benefits for reproductive loss.

If i can get any guidance, that would be awesome. If anything, maybe reaching out to my employers HR benefit coordinator would be better?

Thanks in advance.

I’m at deep loss. ❤️‍🩹 me and my husband (40f) and (42m) were so excited for our first child (no kids from previous relationships.

I had light cramps, back pain and small amounts of old blood discharge. I called my ob right away, she called me in for an ultrasound. No heart beat. Baby stopped growing at 9 weeks. I asked for a sonogram picture, which is hanging on our fridge, some to remember our baby by, that he or she was part of me.

My d&c is this coming week and I’m off work for two weeks. Family and friends have been dropping off food , flowers, being supportive, sharing tears with us. My husband has been a complete angel, he’s supportive, and lets me know that we can get through this together.

Grief has come in waves for me. At times i feel fine but other times I’ll start crying and blame myself - what did i do wrong? Was there something i could have done to not lose our baby? What if i can never get pregnant again?

The doctor confirmed our worse fear: the baby stopped growing two weeks ago and we have a confirmed miscarriage.

I have no words. Had a sonogram (first one) and when the doctor came in, he said there was no heart beat. I’m absolutely devastated. I got a picture of the baby and sonogram, which i will cherish.

Currently 7 weeks and my taste buds are so different. Nothing sounds good, not really having cravings? Every time i think i want something, i get it and it doesn’t hit the spot.

Anyone else going through this? What do you eat?

Currently 6 weeks pregnant with my first baby.

I’m normally a very social, chipper, energetic girl, but lately my energy battery has been at a zero and so has my patience . I’m super fatigued, nauseous, headaches, food aversions, not really having cravings, etc..,

My co workers noticed that my mood has shifted, I’m not as talkative or social, but i don’t want to tell them I’m pregnant yet.

Anyone else have the same experiences?

Anyone else have zero energy
