Feeling blue (BT ref)

Rod, 18 of June of 2013 at 09:04 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 34

Cheer me up please Otters.

As most of you know H and I are hoping to start a family and sadly went through a miscarriage which was discovered at my 12 week scan. Three months ago today I was in hospital having an ERPC (Evacuation of retained products of conception).

We are now 10 months from when we decided to start trying. I was convinced this was our month so the arrival of my period yesterday has floored me. I feel completely depressed and sad and angry at the unfairness of it all. I should have been well over halfway through now and instead i've got crippling period pains and feel like i just want to curl up and cry for a week.

I'm really tired and feel crappy and just BLAH.

I dont need answers i just need to rant and i'm sorry to dump on you guys.

    I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling blue - but not surprising really. I'll hold you in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy and successful pregnancy next time round.

    Huge hugs Rod, so sorry.

    The only words I can offer to hopefully make you feel a bit better is a friend of mine decided she wanted a baby and it took a while longer than she expected. Just as she was about to consider IVF (she is in her mid 30's) she discovered she was pregnant.

    It will happen for you and probably when you least expect it..........chin up hun xxx

    Thank you lovely ladies.

    I'm normally very positive and upbeat and quite looking forward to the future, trying again etc but I cant drag myself out of this funk right now.

    Not suprising really. Have a good old cry if that helps....you will feel ok in a few days....having a period normally can make you a bit emotional and sad and you have every reason and right to feel as you do.

    Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully you will start to feel more yourself again. And when the time is right and ready you will be on here announcing to us all that you are pregnant. Wish I could take away your pain, I hate when people are sad ☹️ xx

    It's not surprising you're feeling blue and the fact that it's AF time won't be helping.

    Sending loads of hugs. xxx

    This is most unlike you so it must be really getting to you today. Let it! You are entitled to have days when you embrace the unfairness of it all, don't think you have to fight it all the time. Life is mean and cruel sometimes and it's ok to feel blue over it.

    Sending you a cuddle xxx

    How you're feeling is totally, totally normal. I wish I could make it better but I can offer a massive hug. I know how hard it is to feel loss, and just want to be pregnant again. It will happen you rod, I know it.xxx

    ? Oh Rod, I really really feel for you. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through, but I'm sure that it is completely normal to be feeling like this. I really hope things start to look up for you soon, x

    Rodders; I'm with you, I'm cd1 today and I'm so disappointed.

    This is the last year for us of ttc I'm 40 already and really hoped this month was for us, but it's not. I suppose we have to get used to the idea of probably not being parents and that cuts me up no end Smiley sad

    I also wish, however bad it makes me feel/sound that we didn't get the positive in November as it feels like its a taster for things not to come.

    Chin up love, wish I could give you a cuddle, I sure could do with one myself Smiley sad xx

    Massive hugs and love to you.

    Your dates for coming off BC, mmc and ERPC are practically the same as mine so I feel your pain

    allow yourself some down days and cry when you need to. Life is *** but I'm sure you'll have the family you long for soon xx

    Hope you're feeling a little better today.

    I know not everyone will understand your situation because they've never been there, but you have a great support network of lovely ladies here at hitched and we'll all be here for a hug (albeit cyber) whenever you need one.

    Rod - glad you are feeling a bit better today.........keep smiling x (it took me over a year to become pregnant again after my miscarriage, it will happen for you when its the right time)

    LeeLee - I don't know your situation but to try and give you positive thoughts - my mom was in her early 40's when she had my youngest brother. A dear friend of mine who suffered so many miscarriages resigned herself to being childless, hit 49 and was going through what she thought was the change............found out she was pregnant and her lovely lad is now almost 11 and about to go to senior school!

    Sending lots of positive vibes to you both x

    Thanks L for your positive words and stance on it, it really does mean a lot to me ? I never thought all this ttc stuff would get to me the way it has, I just want to be a Mum and give *it* the love I've had from my parents, especially after these past 6 months, there's been a lot to deal with and bought us even closer as a family, didn't even think that was possible. I'll be ok, just hit me this morning when AF showed up and the cramps and hormones, I guess the blubbering didn't help either haha xx
