Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 : All things considered, you sound as if you are doing very well, both physically & emotionally. My older sister had pretty much an identical miscarriage story as yours, blighted ovum, d & c, depressed, 2 yr old at home. She got pregnant 4 mos later & has a happy little boy now! It all works out in the end, hang in there hun! Glad to have you back on line.
