Anyone else in the same boat?

[Lil]

Hi, I'm new here and after reading some of your stories it sounds like you have been through something similar to me and maybe able to help me. I had a missed miscarriage back in September 08 at 11 weeks. Well they told me at the hospital it was a MMC, but there was nothing in the sack and further research on the net says it might be a blighted ovum. The thing is, I still feel really awful. I've been trying to get pregnant since but it's just not happening (although the world and his dog seems to be getting pregnant!) and I feel in a catch 22 where I think I will feel better if I get pregnant but perhaps can't get pregnant becuase I'm not over the MMC. Is anyone else in the same position?

I really want to talk to someone professional about what happened but when I went to the doctors for a checkup after the D & C, I felt the locum there wasn't really interested. She just said it was one of those things but I feel I need to ask questions and speak to someone. Are there any professionals that deal with MMC, or should I just go back to the docs?

Any advice is much appreciated.

I felt the same. I had a blighted ovum. And wasn't getting anywhere after. It took 8 months before i did, and that was a chemical. What did i do? I cried, wondered and cried all the time. It's ok. It's allowed. But let yourself chill out to. Find something that will make feel positive about ttc. I found preseed, and felt more hopeful. I was right, it's a godsend. However it took me what felt like forever to calm down. Even now it hurts so much.
