struggling to cope

Had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks baby only measured 7. Really can't get my head together . Seen babies heartbeat at 7 weeks and it was sooo strong.my hearts breaking . It's been just over 4 weeks since ERPC still no period haven't exactly been careful either . Just want to have a cycle so I can start to try n conceive again. This waiting games a total nightmare.

U sound so strong. That's a gd thing that ur continuing to try. Wish u all the luck . I'm just coming up to my 27th birthday . Thats what midwife said there's no reason it'll happen again many women only have 1 n then go on to having healthy babies. I hope next time for u its a gd egg. :)

well as I wrote that I was going thru my third, I still am I suppose, just waiting for the bleeding to stop now so we can try again, my ones are due to egg issues (age) so I am expecting more, when I started trying I new in my head that this would be the way things would turn out and for me this is a decision I've made to try again so I have to be prepared.. On the other hand with you, if you in that good : child bearing:  :  age there really isnt any reason why this should happen to you again :) it may do but you need to realise that it is natures way of releasing something that wasnt quite right (in majority of cases), when you get pregnant there is always risks involved, and the next time your ready to try I hope you sail thru your pregnancy and have a healthy bub :) no you wont forget, but when your holding your new baby time will heal and  I firmly believe that, good luck :)

it can be really devistating when you experience a miscarriage, especially when you think everything is going along ok, I alsways take heart in the fact that when it happens early on in the pregnancy, its usually because there is something wrong somewhere which stops the baby from progressing any further, and for me I always say thank goodness it happened now and not later on, its really hard but if you try and  look at it like this it does make it abit easier to get your head around it

i'm so so sorry for your loss.  M/c's are so devestating, especially once you see that heartbeat.  And yes, afterwards, the waiting is horrible.   My first m/c  was a missed m/c and I had to have a D&C and I'm thinking it took about 6 weeks to get my first period afterwards (it's been a few years back so I'm giving you my best guess).  Again, really sorry for your loss and hope you don't have to wait much longer to get back to trying.
