Hi. Sorry if this triggers sad memories for some.
I've just had my second miscarriage in six months. I had a blighted ovum last week at 9 weeks. It's been hard but psychologically marginally easier than last time as I know there wasn't an actual baby. While I'm still mourning the loss of a pregnancy, it's been a little easier not imagining an embryo (which I saw last time I passed my sac).
After my scan, the miscarriage took place naturally within 24 hours and the bleeding has nearly stopped. I have to go for a scan again to make sure all debris is out but I feel fortunate that it did happen naturally.
I'm now doing the only thing I feel I have control over, that is looking after my body and planning for the next one. It may sound crazy but I've been reading about fertility cleansing, acupuncture, meditating and healing following a loss. I feel that it's all I can do right now, the only way I can get some control over the situation. It's hard not to let feelings of anger and bitterness get hold of me so I'm trying everything I can to think positive and look to the future.
I'd really love to hear some happy ending stories after recurrent miscarriages. Googling has become a nightmare because all I keep reading is about 7, 10, 20 miscarriages and nothing at the end of it. Please, I'd love to hear from some people who got their rainbow baby after so much pain.
