So it’s coming up to a year now since my MMC, which took a few months to sort (including the time it took To get the 12 week NHS scan which found out my bean had in fact been gone for more than six weeks already). All I have had since is a Chemical and bluntly I feel like crap today. I know there are many worse off but I’m just utterly exhausted at things like my friend showing me pics of her scans and then the maternity shoot from a pregnancy that occurred straight after her wedding. Then there’s my colleague at work who didn’t show till she was 16 weeks and then told us the happy news. She is lovely but hasn’t stopped going on about it since. I am just feeling utterly terrible today. I don’t always feel this bad but I am seriously beginning to wonder whether I can take any more pain. I am a bit weak mentally maybe. I know we are all different but I just can’t stop the tears today.
Sorry for the rant.

@Carportforme so sorry to hear about what you've been going through. Sometimes you just need to let off a bit of steam. Its very unfair isn't it.....I also feel surrounded by pregnancy announcements at the moment.
Have you had any investigations? We're TTC #2 and I've made an aptm with the GP at the end of the month.

Oh OP you are not mentally weak, it sounds like you’re experiencing a tough time.

Try to put your health first. Remove yourself or stop going on social media. Could you consider speaking to your line manager to see if they could have a sensitive word with other colleagues? I have done similar when one of my staff was OTT with talking about pregnancy/rubbing bump. I just said to be mindful you don’t know what anybody else is experiencing in their fertility journey. It really helped.

Sorry for the rant.

I feel for you and I also think it is healthy to let your negative emotions out completely. The pain still remains with us but I believe time will heal our wounds slowly. It is better to let people who have announced their pregnancies know about what you are going through and they will understand then choose their words not to make you sad. Sending big virtual hugs to you!❤

Thank you all so much for your support and suggestions ladies. I don’t often have days where I feel so awful to be honest, thankfully. They come and go as I am sure others will have found also. I have had some blood tests and am now taking low dose aspirin from ovulation together with folate, extra vitimin D and a supposedly good quality pre conception vitimin so I am very cautiously hopeful for next time. If things go awry again my doctor said he will refer me.
