Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - September 2008

[Possums]

Thanks for the comfort and support everyone. I now feel numb. When I am not numb I am crying, or angry, or bitter, or just plain sad.

If I don't miscarry over the next few days, will have a curette on Tuesday.

why us? when is it to be our turn?

sending you all the very best

Sweets - I wish I could say something that would make it easier. You need to be angry, sad, bitter, numb and the horrible part is you have to allow yourself to feel it all.

If you have a brick wall in your drive way I suggest purchasing some cheap plates and smashing them or getting some sort of punching bag and give it a good beating. I need a physical release in times of high emotional distress.

Is DH ok? I hope you are both able to support each other at the moment. It can be hard sometimes because boys sometimes don't get it. The pressure we put on ourselves to be career women, mothers, lovers, best friends, sisters, aunty and to be the best in all areas. They sometimes don't get how responsible we feel for our families and friends and I really hope that you are not blaming yourself for this sweetheart.

Possums, I'm so very sorry.

I could have echoed so many of your words in July last year when we lost our first baby also at 8 weeks and 5 days...

It is heartbreaking. Don't force yourself to feel anything you're not ready for. When the shock and anger goes, the grief and tears will come.

All you can do for now is take it one day at a time and know that it will eventually get better. Take the time to grieve and recover before you even think about getting back into IVF.

Once again, I am so very, very sorry that you have had to endure the heartache of loss after the hell of IVF.
