Hi snowygirl,
i am very very sorry for your loss.
I know what you are going through, I had a miscarriage in april at 7 weeks and it was devastating. I cried all day & night, even at work, and couldn't sleep for the longest time. For a good while I was at the point where decided that I didn't want to try to have a baby again because I couldn't possibly go through this whole thing again, if it were to happen. My doctor suggested that I try to keep myself occupied with things that make me happy.
So I did; I do not have many friends but I started joining my co-workers at the gym, joined classses, like yoga, pilates and other activities, and it has really helped me. It has made me feel better about myself, and given me things to look forward to. I try to concentrate on myself and things that make me feel happy.
Not a day goes by that I don't thing that, "oh I would have been x weeks by now if I didn't m/c", or when I see another pregnant lady I think about what could have been if that m/c didn't happen.
It also helps to have a supportive hubby (or bf). Talk to him, tell him how you are feeling, cry with him, who knows, maybe he is holding somethings inside too. He probably needs support, just like you do.
You have to give yourself time to heal, and let yourself cry. Don't bottle it up, that'll make things worse.
My hubby and I have started to try again this month, and I bought a fertility monitor. I just keep praying that everything willbe alright.

Try to keep strong, I know it's hard but you have to do this for yourself.
Pm me if you want to talk more.

Hi, I am sorry about your loss. I know how you feel, mine wasn't missed but I knew it as soon as it started. I was only 6 weeks and I was so happy.
Then I had some spotting.....
It is really hard and sad and confusing. It took me a few weeks to be able to talk about it. But after a little while I was better. I still always think about it but the only thing I can tell you is with time you will feel better. The first month trying again was real hard and nerve racking for me, but now I feel a lot more calm. And especially if this was your first m/c don't worry because I thought the same exact way as you..What if something is wrong with me??? And you know it has been 4 months and my body is still not back to normal but my Dr. Said that is normal!
It will happen for you and only a tiny percent of people have a real problem, even though it probably makes no difference right now, just think that there was probably something wrong and it is better that you m/c than to have a baby that is sick. I know that sounds bad, but mostly m/c are chromosomal.
Feel better and it helps to talk about it and just cry.
