Is this depression hormones or depression? Will it end?
I found out Christmas that I was having a MC. I had gotten BFP through invitro so of course I was on all sorts of hormones and shots. I quit all of the drugs last week and started having mood swings. Sort of like PMS on steriods. My poor husband is all I can say. I started bleeding today finally. The depression has been creeping up on me and today it is so bad I can't even get out of the bed. (I am off work right now.) I have had nightmares about the MC every night for the last week and when I wake up I think it is only a dream then reality hits that it is real. Is this the hormones and will it pass or should I be worried? I feel myself slipping fast and after a week no one wants to give you any more sympathy. I just can't get up. I slept all day yesterday. Please tell me that this will go away.
I had a mc 14years ago I was 21 & hadnt planned for a baby. I suffered severe depression for ages after, I didnt relate it to that at the time as it was an unplanned pregnancy. Back then I wasnt ready for a child but after the mc, I felt like I couldnt cope, I couldnt get up in the morning I lay awake at night for hours it was awful. I totally understand what you are going through it is horrible enough when you hadnt planned for one & I wouldnt like to think what it must be like to have a mc when you are desprately trying. I am currently doing my first cycle of ivf which hasnt gone without complications so far.
It is a hormonal depression along with a deep longing for a child, my heart goes out to you, you will get through it even if you dont think so right now.
Good luck & take care x

I'm sorry for your loss....but this will pass. I went through the same thing. I found out right after Thanksgiving that I was going to m/c and I did about 2 weeks later. It was awful...I cried from the day I found out up until about a week ago. I still have my days but I just keep telling myself...at least I had them for 10 weeks and I pray that I will be blessed again.
It will get better but you will know when the time comes and you will heal every second, every minute, and every day.
I hope the best for you and for the new year....and I pray that you will heal from this...you will!!!
Good Luck

I have not dealt with what you are enduring, but I have struggled with depression in the past, especially due to hormones and fert. medications. Mental pain is even more difficult than physical pain in my opinion, and you are dealing with both.
Trust that indeed this WILL go away, but keep reaching out for help. I agree with LJ that you should contact your doctor about it though, just in case it gets worse before it gets better.
Hang in there, and know our prayers are with you.

Sylvia,
Just give yourself some more time. A week isn't very long. I know you also have extenuating circumstances beyond the m/c in your life as well. You have been given much to deal with. Sometimes staying in bed is what your mind and body need to regain the strengh to go on and perservere. The hormones I'm sure compound the mood swings and emotions. I know just from the Clomid alone, I've become a different person the past few months. Depression has been a definite struggle for me since being on these drugs. We all are here for you. If this need to stay in bed lingers beyond a week or so more than you may want to talk to your dr. about getting something to help you get over the hump. Remember "This too shall pass". I hope the hard times pass quickly for you. I'm thinking of you.

I will pray for you too. I wish I knew what to say that would help. It will get better.
I am sorry about your loss! I have never went thru this but I think it will go away. My sister had a miscarriage and was pretty devastated for about a month! You will get through this! My Dh is scared for us to do the ivf for he fears I will go into a depression if it didn't work or I mc... I know it HAS to be hard and of course you will be sad and depressed for awhile but don't give up hope! I will pray for you! Good luck
