In need of motivation...

hi, am hoping you girls can cheer me up.

I posted on here three weeks ago when i got pregnant after 1 year of trying to conceive, i then posted two weeks ago when i had a miscarriage.

Am really really flat at the moment, and i hate to admit it, taking my hurt out on my husband. I have done so well, i went back to work after a week and held my head up and coped as best as i could.

I had to go back to the early pregnancy unit today as i am having my bloods taken for the hcg hormone, i really thought i would be discharged today as my levels dropped by hundreds last week. this week they have only dropped by 10 so i have to go back again next week.

I just see this going on for, what seems to me, forever. I want to close the book on that chapter now and move on.

We have decided to try again but now i am wondering if i could ever do this again - and to know that i have to go back to the EPAU next week with all those happy pregnant women is killing me.

Oh babes

i so know how you feel. i've had treatment for ectopics where you need to go back week after week for blood tests to moniter hcg levels. i don't think you can even think about starting to get over the loss of ur baby till ur discharged from EPAU. i know what you mean about EPAU and pregnant women. although i would never wish this on anyone, i felt resentment when i see women coming out of the scan room, waving their photos with a big smile on their faces. this maybe sounds so horrible, and i don't mean it to be but once when i was there i saw a woman who obviously had had bad news and i felt, i don't know, almost like a kind of relief that i wasn't the only woman suffering. does that make sense?

men deal with things so totally different to us. i used to feel so resentful towards mike because i felt that, because he hid his feelings, that he didn't care. it was so wrong of me but it took me a long time(and a good few sessions with a councillor) to realise that he was grieving too, just in a different way. i used to scream and shout at him. i don't know how he managed to put up with me sometimes. we've both came through it tho and stronger than ever.

i won't say things like time heals, and things happen for a reason because those sort of comments don't help. i will say that one day in the future you'll realise that 1 day has gone by without thinking about it, then you'll realise that 2 days have gone by, then you'll come to realise that although you'll never forget about ur baby, you can live ur life again. thats when you'll realise that you'll want to try again although you'll be scared witless when you do.

reading back, i've not really helped cheer u up although i hope it helps you to know that we know how you feel. {{{hugs}}}

tc, gail xx

Thank you

thanks for your message. Someone understands me!!!
i know what you mean, i wouldnt wish this on anyone but its hard facing all these pregnant women with their smiley faces. A young girl was there today who was obviously going through what i am and she was really struggling to keep it together, i wanted to hug her.

i know that my hubby is grieving but he has different ways of dealing with it. I love my husband so very much but i am finding it difficult - he already has kids and i cant help thinking its easier for him, although i know hes hurt too and he also wants more kids. I am just turning into a hateful, bitter and twisted woman and i hate myself for the way i am feeling but i cant change it. I am trying though. I want to get back to the loving, happy me.

i feel so much better knowing that you understand.

xx
