Hi there,
I'm new here. I just joined a couple of days ago at the request of a dear friend who experienced a miscarriage in May. She and I had been pregnant at the same time. I knew I was pregnant and she didn't. I miscarried in March at 9 weeks and she miscarried in May at 20 weeks not knowing she was pregnant. So, I came to this forum to support her and discovered that this might me a really good place for me to find support as I try to get past all of the grief. I think what's compounded my grief is that 10 days after my miscarriage my father passed away and 10 days after my father died...my aunt died. It was just one loss right after another and there are times when I just don't know who to grieve for more. If I cry for my baby I feel guilty that I'm not sadder about my father and on and on...So, as a result of this it's been a really difficult year. Since my miscarriage we've been trying to get pregnant again with no luck. Is it just me or do other women feel this way....Every month I don't get pregnant I feel the pain and grief of the miscarriage as if it just happened but if I think about not trying I just feel so empty. I've been thru 3 months of Clomid with no results, tried acupuncture with no results. I'm 42 so I also feel like I'm running out of time. I'm trying a more holistic approach now...we're really cleaning up our diets and taking supplements and vitamins that are supposed to help with infertility. I'm hoping that it works and if it doesn't at least we'll be healthier for trying....

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I know exactly how you feel, i have had 3 MC, the last one a week ago. My last one was exactly a year to the date of the 2nd one, we had been trying for a year to get pregnant and was overjoyed when i fell, i had given up on the idea of trying anymore and fell, the more stress you put yourself through the less chance it will happen ( i know easier said than done) in my honest opion just have fun trying it will happen when you least expect it. In the mean time if you would like to talk i am here xxxxxxxxx
