I found this article. I though it was interesting and wanted to share.

Possible TW. The first part has a semi graphic description of natural mc. In general the article is about the scientific perspective on miscarriage.

Thanks for sharing! Wow, this line in particular struck me, "The largest lump of tissue – what I believe to be the yolk sac – was smaller than it felt in my heart."

That line killed me too

Me 3. I couldn't bear to pass the tissue naturally for this exact reason

Great article, thanks for sharing. The part about the 12-week rule for announcing resonated with me: "It's just so hard breaking those two bits of news: I was pregnant and I'm not now. It's really hard to bring it into conversation."

Thanks for sharing! I like the part about viewing the period as a beginning rather than an end. It's refreshing.

I broke those two pieces of news to another friend yesterday - I was pregnant when you were visiting but now I'm not. We're really close friends (she was one of my bridesmaids) but we don't talk often - and she was lovely but it was hard. I cried for the first time in awhile. There are still a few key people to tell - one brother and my sister (maybe, my mom may have told them - I'd be 100% ok with that - next time I talk with her I may ask her to tell them if an opportunity presents itself) and a few friends - but I don't want to call them up out of the blue (I don't phone often) and say "hey so..."

Such a good article! I thought the part about how some women who have frequent miscarriages may have a womb that is too receptive, meaning that "genetically doomed" embryos implant was super interesting. I really wish that science would catch up and do more research so that we weren't left with not knowing what went wrong.

@catiecatp That's one of the main reasons that I haven't told very many people about my miscarriage. It's not that I want it to be a secret, it's just a super weird topic to bring up, especially if they didn't even know I was pregnant.

Yep... I've been seeing the super-receptive endo cells study since someone on FF posted a link last month but the study is from 2012 I think. I really do wish science would catch up on this one. Especially since my m. grandmother was gravida 8, mom was para 9 gravida 2. Mom always said getting pregnant wasn't the problem, staying pregnant was.

I wish I had a choice to mc at home, so the "I can't imagine a worse place to have a mc" line stung a bit. I have uterine atony so it's a hemorrhagic event every.dang.time. In a term labor, it's really well monitored, I'm not scared I'm going to exsanguinate. I'm still very bitter that with a mc, they did not seem to track my blood loss once I needed chuck pads. Using visual charts I added up 2,000ml easily in 6hrs until surgery. I was ambulated between hospitals. Nobody kept track of my blood loss I felt. 3 weeks later on heavy iron supplementation I could finally stand longer than 8 minutes without blacking out. My blood pressure is still in the low 90s 8.5 months later. Fear that my baby was trying to take me with it has been, by far the most traumatic thing about the loss. Sorry for the rant.

I'm so sorry Ghanima , how traumatic.
