TTC After a Loss

Bad week

For some reason, this week has been terrible for me.  I'm a bit more sensitive to things this week... partly due to my period.  But my mom actually asked me a question at dinner the other night, which sent me into a 2 hour crying fit that my poor husband had to deal with.  She asked if I was scared to get pregnant again after my first loss in August.  I'd never really thought about that.  To be truthful, YES I'm terrified of going through that again.  I don't know how to not be scared. Then today I find out that yet another one of my co-workers is PG... why them and not me? Ugh so frustrating... and all my husband can say is Sorry and give me a big hug.  We both know it's not his fault, but he doesn't know what else to say or do.  I often wonder if my loss was due to something I did... I know that isn't the case, but it's hard not to think like that..... 

Re: Bad week

  • I'm sorry you are having a rough week. I can agree with you. I too am scared, but I will not let my fear take over my desire to keep trying. On tough days all I need to hear from DH is and a good hug. We both know that their is nothing we could have done, but not being able to do anything is sometimes hard for me to grasp. Do your best to keep our head up. Over time I hear it gets easier. Big squishy ((hugs)) to you!

  • I'm so sorry you are having a rough week. The feelings of fear and jealousy are definitely well founded, but then can sneak up at the worst times. I know it's hard to see others experience something that you would give everything to experience. It's especially hard when it seems to all happen at once, as it sounds like with your co-workers. I'm glad you had such a supportive H to help you through. Be kind to yourself this week.
  • I'm so sorry you're having a bad week. It happens that way and sometimes it hits you out of the blue.

    You definitely aren't alone and I learned that on this board. These ladies have been a lifesaver for me the past couple of weeks.

    *hugs* to you
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site. 



  • (((HUGS)))   I hear you.   I'll feel fine for a week or two and then BAM I start crying and can't stop.   TTCAL is so hard sometimes.   Know that nothing you did caused the miscarriage, I know it's hard to think that, I over analyzed everything myself but in the end, it's nothing you did or didn't do.
  • I am sorry that you are having a rough week.  I wish I could say that you won't have another one.  You will go through a wide range of emotions between scared, lonely, relieved that you are feeling better, back to sad ect.  

    I am wishing you the strength to get through your bad week.  We've all been there.

  • So sorry that this is a hard time!  I think knowing that there is nothing I did to cause the miscarriage is one of the scariest parts.  If I did something last time then I could not do it the next time and be in control of the situation.  But the sad truth is we aren't in control.  At least for me that is so hard to deal with.  

    Hope you are feeling better soon!
