I've only had one 'official' miscarriage, I can only begin to imagine how painful six must have been.

*hugs*

Thanks, hon. I'm glad it's far behind us now and that we finally found out I had Ehlers-Danlos (which is what caused the miscarriages). It was a really rough few years for us.

Bummer 'eh! Because diseases they name after people are never good things to have!

Thanks for sharing your story. I am sorry you had to go through a miscarriage six times, but am glad you and Jason are still together and have two great kids. :)

Thanks. I try to view the problems and hardships I have as a means of giving me first-hand experience with the things I'll be counseling others about. I think it helps me to get a better perspective when I've endured similar traumas to my prospective clients. And it definitely makes me a stronger person, so I don't regret any of it, painful though it was. ALL of my experiences have made me the person I am, so I wouldn't change any of them.

I'm exceedingly glad Jason and I are still together after all these years. We're disgustingly happy. :D
