    Question New here...miscarriage coping

    Hi,
    My name is Stacey and I have been diagnosed with PCOS 8/04. I am 35 yrs old and I experienced a miscarriage on Nov 16th 2006. I was seven weeks . I had 2 D&C's (real pleasant) Got an AF at 7 wks after and was put back on Demulen and Spiro in January. Physically it took me awhile but I bounced back. Emotionally it is hard. Everyone around me is pg or was able to have successful pregnancies with hardly any problems at all. It's hard for me to be at baby showers, christenings etc. Has anyone else felt this way? My husband comes from a family of 12 and there are 21 nieces and nephews and I feel the pressure and I get depressed. I have a great job, etc but is what I am feeling normal? Thanks! Prayers to everyone!

    Stacey

    Stacey - *HUGS* I'm so sorry for your loss. You are totally normal. There is no right or wrong way to feel about a miscarriage. Everyone feels how they feel.

    Stacey, I'm sorry for your loss! I've heard every single thing you said before, from myself or others here. It is a terrible thing to lose your tiny one, and all of those responses are normal. You should try to give yourself a break and stay away from things that hurt, when it's possible of course.

    Hang in there!

    (((HUGS))) You are so very normal! It's so hard to be around others while suffering silently. There is nothing wrong with just sending a gift and not attending. You have to do what you have to do. I'm glad you are healed physically and the emotinal will come. You will always have the remberence, but the sadness and hurt will fade with time. I wish you the best of luck! Many of us have been where you are, lean on us! We will be here to help and support you!!!

    I've been where you are and just reading your post brought back a flood of emotion. There have been many baby showers and little cousins b-day parties that I just couldn't bring myself to attend. It seemed I was always surrounded by pregnant women. The first few times dh & I went to dinner after 2nd m/c each time we got a pregnant waitress. Hang in there. You're not alone and we are all here whenever you need a boost of encouragement.

    My condolences. I know how hard it is, and what you're feeling is normal. And while it may seem that everyone gets pregnant easily, it's always hard to tell if that is the truth -- success is very loud, but failure is silent. For almost all of my friends with children, they lost their first ones. They didn't always tell me right away, but when one spoke up about her m/c, all the others chimed in. So it's more common than sometimes it seems. In fact their patterns seem to be lose one/keep one/lose one/keep one.

    It's not always a comfort for those of us who haven't yet been successful in having any, but even the ones happy now went through some tough times.

    But we have to remember we're not alone, it just sometimes seems that way.
