Still not coping after MMC

[KimmyLou]

Hi All,

Firstly I want to say how sorry I am for everyones losses.
I found out I had a MMC at 9 weeks. I partially miscarried naturally, but had an ERPC as not everything had come away. I have just had my first AF exactly 4 weeks after it.
Right now though, I'm just not coping, my DH just expects me to be fine as he is ok. I have tried speaking to him and saying that I am finding things really difficult and he keeps saying 'we'll just have to try again!' I know this and I am desperate to try again but at the moment I am struggling to accept all of it. All I keep thinking is that I should be in the second trimester and not having my AF.
I find myself flying off the handle one minute and crying the next. I have already spoken to my GP who hasnt been supportive and just told me I will get over it. I feel completely isolated and on my own.
I am also terrified it will take another 3 1/2 years to get pregnant as thats how long it took with this one!
Sorry about my post, I felt I had no one to speak to.
Thanks, Kim xx

i know it is awful, and i know how you feel.
i suggest you go to a differnt gp, they should be able to help you if you are really struggling to cope. xxx

hey hun im sorry for your loss, i know the first af after mmc for me was half relief that my body was back to normal and half bitter and angry because i shouldve been pregnant still.My gp said similar to me the day i got the news and i havnt been back to him, the girls on here are much more supportive, if you would like to talk to someone over the phone the miscarriage association have a support line aswell.Hope your doing ok

hey hun, i am so sorry for your loss, i'm having a shit one at the moment, I was having a good day, done a bit of shopping and was doing my wrapping and out of nowhere it hit me I would be 20 weeks today, tears are flooding my face as I write this, I thought I was doing well but right about now i'm in bits i just feel so lost and alone all over again and cant stop thinking about my little bean.
sending lots of love to you, i feel your pain huni, I feel sad for all the woman that have gone through loosing a baby, I wouldn't wish the pain on my worst enemy.
Time is a healer and we will all get there but will never forget.

Thank you all for your kind words, and again I am so sorry for your losses.
I finally sat my DH down last night and told him outright how I was feeling, he said he had no idea I was so down and that he just assumed I was back on track. He has a couple of weeks off work over Christmas and said he would try to be as supportive as he could, which has made me feel a little better.
I am going to give it a little more time, poss wait til after Christmas before deciding to see my GP again as I am hoping things will improve.
Thanks again xx
