TTC After a Loss

Introduction

Hello all,

This is a new forum for me. My husband and I found out last week that we had lost our baby (I was 7 weeks pregnant). It was our first one. After trying to go through the miscarriage naturally, but to no avail, we decided to take the pill to help the process along. I took the pill Monday, and now have an appointment on Friday to find out if this is all over or not. I am having a really tough time dealing with the loss. Everyone keeps saying "it will get better in time" and "things happen for a reason" but it is not making me feel any better. I just don't know what to do and where to go.

Today is my first day back at work after finding out. I feel like I am silently suffering as I never told anyone that I was pregnant....I just want it to get better.

  • I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby. Take as much time as you need. Grief is a very individual process. Losing a baby can be a very isolating experience. I have found it very helpful to talk about my loss A LOT - with my DH, Mom, close friends, therapist. It's part of who I am now.

  • I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you find the comfort and support you need here. Everyone on this board has been really nice. 

    If it makes you feel any better, I went to work the day after I found out about my MMC and spent a good portion of the day crying at my desk. I hadn't told anyone I was pregnant either, but I eventually opened up to three co-workers. 

     As @CC1017 said, this can be a very isolating experience and I too find it helpful to talk about my loss with the people I trust. 

    And, yes, going through this does fucking suck (pardon my language). Just do your best to hang in there… that's all you can do. Sending you hugs.

    "Everybody here has got a story to tell. Everybody's been through their own hell. There's nothing too special about getting hurt, but getting over it that takes the work. Because one way or another, we all need each other. Nothing's going to turn out the way you thought it would. Friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover because everything comes out the way it should in the end." -Glen Phillips, "Duck and Cover" 


  • Thank you all for welcoming me. It is refreshing to have a safe place where I can vent and talk about my experience. I tried getting through this one day at a time, but found that I really just need to focus on moment by moment...
  • I am sorry for your loss. I hope you find the comfort and support you are looking for here. *hug* 
    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. 



  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board! One of my favorite things about this group of ladies is that they can relate and sympathize when others may not even know what is going on.  ((hugs))
