The day after the miscarriage

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!!

First, I'd like to just give each of you great big hugs!! I just got done

reading all of your posts about my and Mark's sad news from yesterday. You

are simply the best!! I'm so blessed to have found this group. Your words

are so encouraging, supportive and filled with love (both yours and God's).

Thank you!!!

The thing I keep saying to Mark is, " I miss my baby. " I'm just so empty

inside. Being a Christian (I'm a Director of Children's Ministry at my

church),

I know for sure that this is not God's way of telling me I'd be a horrible

mother. I guess that was just my grief and pain speaking. I know he's a very

loving God and this isn't a result of something He's done, but a result of

just a world gone bad. My friend Lara (who has been through at least 2

miscarriages, if not more) came over right away and spent 2 hours here with me,

talking, crying, planning, giving me hope. Right now, even amidst this

tremendous loss that I'm feeling, I know that I want to try again, soon, for

another

baby. One thing my friend Lara said is something that her mother told her

when she was going through her miscarriages: God places desires on peoples'

hearts. If your desire for a child lessens, then that's God's will. If it

increases, then that's God's will. That makes sense to me and was of great

comfort.

When the time is right, and hopefully that will be soon, God will bless us

with a new baby. It won't be the same as this one because there's something

" magical " about your first pregnancy, but it'll be just as wonderful and just

as special and just as much a blessing. One thing I'm truly amazed at in all

of this is that Mark and I were actually even able to get pregnant!! With

my past crazy history of pain and VERY irregular periods and even having some

doctors telling me that I would probably not even be able to ever get

pregnant, we were able to get pregnant with relatively little problem and in a

pretty short amount of time. And even though my OB/GYN did prescribe Clomid

for

me because my progesterone level was so stinkin' low, I only took one cycle.

That was back in March. I didn't take it in April, May, or June because Mark

was recovering from his hip surgery, so baby making was put on hold. And

yet, even without the clomid, we got pregnant in June!!! So God is good...and

He is faithful. He has already blessed us so abundantly...with wonderful

friends and with each other. A baby would be the ultimate blessing for us, but

our lives are complete either way.

I'm done rambling now. Time to get dressed and get busy. It's a beautiful

day here in the Twin Cities and I don't want to waste the day moping around.

I love each of you!!!

This could be a reason itself for the miscarraige. My first MC was due to low

progesterone and when I got pregnant again I had to be put on the

progesterone suppositories and I know alot of women on my other group had to do

that.

When the time comes and you are pregnant again ask doc about the progesterone,

maybe even ask him before hand while you are trying. Good luck and i am gald you

have such a better outlook today. you will be a terrific Mommy.

Hi Melody, I hope the Good Merciful Lord grants you peace at this

heartbreaking time. I know all too well what it's like to be

haunted by the child that never was.

I hope your time comes again & soon.

I'm certainly happy that the Lord put a smile in your heart this

morning. He is sooooo good and all blessings flow from Him. Ask and ye

shall receive, if it is meant to be. Pray and the Lord will reply to

you. My hope is that its in the form of a positive pregnancy test.

What a wonderful attitude! I am happy that you are positive about the future.

God bless you! Hope all works out well next go around :-)

My first preg loss was b/c of low progesterone also. Every subsequent preg I

have taken progesterone, but in pill form. Both before and after WLS. I truly

believe it works!
