My Newest PIN Number
Dr. Cookie Pie called with news yesterday. We are back in the bleak no-man's land of utterly unexplained pregnancy loss. My latest miscarriage was of another genetically perfect male. This means that I have conceived and carried five boys in a row, only one of which (one of whom?) lived to be born...only one of which lived to become a who. A little boy whose small warm body is my only shield against looming despair. Gravida 5, Para 1 as the good docs like to say. It feels right now as though my whole identity can be summed up this way: 5_46XY.

Anne, I'm so sorry. Most of my losses have been unexplained, too. It's so frustrating.
Hi Anne -
I found your blog this evening and haven't been able to stop reading. I had a miscarriage a week ago today - my first baby, my first miscarriage. Thanks for your candid honesty... your writing is completely captivating.
