I know this is more a post for the m/c board but I don't really know those ladies and I feel more comfortable here. I thought I was getting ready to move on - all of my doctors said it was most likely a chromosomal problem, they didn't think it was because of the clotting issues, so I felt like there was nothing I could have done about it. But now I'm questioning the doctors and thinking that maybe if I had known about the clotting issues sooner maybe I could have stopped it. Maybe it was preventable. I'm never going to know and it's killing me. I feel like that was my miracle baby and now that it's lost I'll never have another chance. I just don't know what to do. DH is out and I already talked to my mom for an hour. I just can't stop crying. Trying to get through the work day has been torture all week. Saturday we're going on vacation but I'm convinced it's going to rain the whole time. I'm not even excited about it and I should be. I don't know what's wrong with me... I'm sorry for this rambling post.

i am so sorry
I also look back and wonder if I had just known more if I could have prevented our loss - i.e. maybe if I had refused the physical exams, or stayed in bed etc....
it really is torture....
I hope you feel better...
I'm answering this post late but wanted to give my two cents. I've had many losses and after every one of them, I've spent days, sometimes weeks, torturing myself with the same questions you're asking yourself. Honey, there is nothing you could have done to save this pregnancy; the fact is, you had no idea about the blood clotting issues sooner and many, many losses are due to chromosomal issues.
There is nothing wrong with you - you experienced a devestating loss, are trying to understand how it happened and are trying to figure out how you are going to recover. You're feelings are totally normal, honey. I think a vacation is a great idea; I hope you enjoy it! (((( BIG HUGS )))
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Im coming in late on this post - I hope you are feeling better today.
Im so sorry for your loss and pain.
