I've had two missed miscarriages this year and feeling utterly deflated. Both times it's been around the 8 week mark and I've had an ERPC both times as well. In my worrier mind I think it's something wrong with me as the exact same thing has happened both times at the same point, so very very wary of trying again. I've ordered It Started With an Egg (although have heard mixed reviews of this) and we plan to have a couple of months off to (try to) relax and work out what we do next.
Right now my thoughts are to go to an adoption information evening to see if that would be something we would be interested. Alternatively we could just keep trying until I have a potential 3rd miscarriage and then get tests done. Or we could pay for private tests now, but I've spoken to a number of doctors about this already and they basically say it's a waste of time and often nothing is found and "it's just one of those things."
Or we could accept that maybe children aren't meant to be for us. I remember reading a thread on here a little while ago about if people were happy without children but I couldn't find it.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or just want to give me your general thoughts on keeping trying/adoption/choosing not to have children??
