    Your feelings are very normal. Allow yourself to grieve, this is not an easy thing to deal with.

    My baby was 7 weeks, but I still feel like I lost a family member. My DH found it very hard to deal with and didn't talk about it. He still really hasn't talked about it, but I guess that was his way of dealing with it.

    You have a right to feel however you want and no one can judge you for that, nor should they. And... you shouldn't judge yourself. If you feel sad, cry. That's what we do.

    Hi flutterby,

    I'm sorry for your loss, no matter how early, it is still a loss. The reason why men respond/grieve differently (and sometimes they appear like it hasn't affected them at all) is b/c they weren't experiencing the pg symptoms, so it wasn't REAL to them. Be gentle with yourself and your hubby.
    And about the fear of trying again as the m/c might happen again? Yes, it is a very real fear, I have it too, but I came to the conclusion that I want to add to my family, I want an earth baby, and if I don't try and take the fear head on, I will never have the baby I dream of.
    So take your time, and when you're ready to TTC, I wish you lots of luck and hope your dream comes true.

    Beata.
