Hi everyone. I've been lurking on mumsnet for a while, but finally signed up today.
I'm 27, newly married (nearly 2 months) and we're trying for a baby. Got my first BFP last Monday (13/01/14) but miscarried yesterday while I was at work. It came out of the blue. I had only slight tummy discomfort in the morning, which I ignored, then noticed some dark brown blood in the afternoon. I kept working, put some tissues down, and went to the loo to check regularly and the bleeding continued and became brighter. By night I was pretty sure I'd lost it. Left work at 9 pm and walked the long way home to clear my head. Had a little cry with my husband. We decided to keep TTC. I went to work today and tried to be cheerful, but started having really bad cramps mid-morning and broke down in tears in front of my boss, who let me go home.
This is actually our second miscarriage. Our first one was back last April while we were still dating. My husband (boyfriend at the time) was driving us to a weekend trip to the South Downs. He was pretty tired from work, and crashed his car into the car in front which stopped suddenly. The car was wrecked. My seat-belt hit me across the abdomen and I miscarried two days later. I cried so hard, but it was bitter-sweet, because he proposed to me that night.
I'm in some emotional turmoil today. Guess I just wanted to share my story. I've been reading the threads on mumsnet about TTC after MC. There's so much pain and heartbreak.
