    Glad to hear that, tinkwings.
    I think the pain of a miscarriage is made worse by the fact that there's very little acknowledgment of your loss.
    When I miscarried, I had an ERPC but continued bleeding increasingly heavily for weeks - eventually it was decided that there must have been some tissue left and I had to return to hospital for another ERPC.
    It sounds awful but in a way it made me feel better as it seemed to be an acknowledgment that something important had happened.
    I also remember being given a little booklet at the hospital which said, "We are sorry you have lost your baby," and although I couldn't bear to read it at the time, I kept it for years and years; I remember crying when I finally chucked it out.
    You probably just need to cry and cry and talk and cry and cry some more. You must be really going through it and I hope it gives you a tiny bit of comfort to realise that women everywhere understand exactly how you're feeling.

  • Hi all,

    Thanks for last week, i turns out i think i have a nasty bug, my glands are huge still, but most of the symptoms have now left.

    Back to feeling quite good :)

    Hugs to those that need them :) No looking for milestones as we thought we had reached the crucial 12wks, but were told we hadn't then, so no more major milestones and i think i have unsubscribed from all the e-mails that can throw me off course.

    Take care all :)

  • Morning ladies...Monday again pah, and it's awful weather here today. Started off as heavy rain when I left for work this morning, and by the time I got to the office it was hailing..now its snowing.

    Feeling down again..just want to get on with ttc again, and I'm not good at being patient! From my calculations I should ov next week, so Monday I will be back on the ov sticks, and hopefully BD'ing like mad!

    Just want the next phase of my life to begin. I would have been going for my 12 week scan this afternoon, and all being well would have been telling my work colleagues about the pregnancy tomorrow. As it is they know I've had a MC (bad news travels fast)..its all a bit c*ap :(

    Sorry for the moan. Hope everyone is ok. LL glad you are feeling better hon.

    Tinks - let us know how you get on with the hospital counselling service.

    Afternoon . Back at work with still not a lot to do so making me worse :(

    I managed to phone the hospital counselling this morning before I left for work I left them a message so fingers crossed they will get back to me.

    I am off tomorrow so I will chase again if no reply.

    Sending Hugs MV I found last Monday hard as that would have been our magic scan date. All seems VERY sureal now :(

    You will get there MV and you have reached the next biggest step in recovery by AF arriving at least you are ready to start again.:j

    I have entered myself for a 5k run in May and with our blessing in April my mission is to try and loose a stone by then.

    Things are still not good with DH I do feel guilty but I also can't help how i feel.:(

    Trying to move forward is hard when all i want is to have a baby back inside me one that is meant for this world. x:A

  • thanks Tinks...dont have much energy at the moment so god knows where I am going to dredge up the energy to BD!!

    I think to me it just seems like a VERY long road ahead.

    I'd never even considered how tough/worrying/complex having a baby was as I had never been interested. Now I know how nerve-shredding those first weeks are, I'm already scared of how I'm going to feel if/when I fall again.

    Then there's the actual getting preg bit and small a window you have each month.

    God I'm a bundle of laughs this afternoon aren't i!!:rotfl:
