Miscarriage support

Metranil_Vavin

Hey courgette, sorry to hear you are still getting pregnancy symptoms. I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help, but 6 weeks was what the hospital told me after my first mc.

have you spoken to anyone about it?

How are you coping btw? Are things getting any easier? x

Courgette

Unfortunately things are just getting harder and my mental health is really going downhill. More fertile after mc my arsch.

Have made another GP appointment for tomorrow. I will actually walk out if they even attempt the 'mc are a normal part of pg' line again

I can't believe medical professionals say stuff like that. It's just unbelievable.

When are miscarriages going to start being taken seriously?? :mad:

Are you getting any counselling? I'm not sure if that would help. I tried counselling for various issues through the NHS a year or so ago, but only went to 3 sessions. I just didn't feel it was helping me, but I do know other people who have found it helpful.

If I were feeling stronger I'd be writing a letter of complaint. Both times straight after having my scans I was told about women who'd had it worse (implication: pull your socks up and stop crying). I wonder whether it's standard practise to tell cancer patients there was always a 1:3 chance of contracting the disease so they should count themselves lucky it's not worse. Sorry if anyone finds that comment offensive.

Haven't had counselling as I just assumed I'd be able to dust myself down and crack on like I did last time. I also thought after 4 months I'd be pregnant again.

Courgette i had 'pregnancy' symptoms for about 3 cycles after my mc but then my cycles went haywire again so don't know how long it would have gone on for.

And i found the counselling i had extremely useful.

Hugs and virtual love to all, especially Kitten Pie, i'll be thinking of you on Friday, i'm sure your boys will love their lanterns x x

Courgette maybe you should look into specific counselling for pregnancy loss. It may help you to make sense of it all.

Have you been charting your cycles in anyway? I think I recall you saying you were taking a step back a bit from it all as it was getting too much?

Also sending love to kitten pie and everyone else struggling.

I have taken a day off work today as I am feeling so anxious and stressed by everything. I just don't want to be around anybody today.

Courgette

I'm counting the days and then just noticing signs rather than charting. I always have really strong ov pains so can't not notice it. I think if I properly start charting it will finish me off stress-wise.

I'm gonna talk to GP tomorrow about counselling. Will write a list I reckon. I've also taken the day off work, my nerves are shot to pieces

Metranil_Vavin

Mine too.

I woke up this morning and just couldn't face any of it. The hour+ commute, the office, people in the office!

I just need a quiet 'me' day.
