Hi just needed to have a vent as I can't really talk to anyone about this. I had a mc in November then a second in February iv been trying for 2years. Iv still not had a period since my feb mc which is getting me down and to top it off all I can think about is the fact that I should b starting maternity leave soon for my first loss. Iv fell out with my best friends because they are both pregnant without even trying and currently work with 3 pregnant ladies, I know it's none of their faults the pile of shit that I have been given but it just didn't make coping any easier.
I was just wondering how long did it take for most people's period to return?
And any coping methods u use when having to pretend that ur happy for others cos I'm finding it quite difficult?
Thanks

I'm really sorry for your losses, it is a really shit time for you. I haven't got the answers you want but I can hand hold. I had a MC just over a week ago and my best friend has given birth this morning. Also meeting a pregnant friend for lunch today. They don't know about my MC so I'm just going to smile and try to be happy and save the tears for when I get home.

Hi Hopefully, sorry you're going through such a shit time Sad. I've had four miscarriages over the last couple of years, the last one in September. The endless roller coaster of hormones and anxiety and grief is unbearable at times. It does get easier over time though... two of my friends are pregnant at the moment and whereas a year ago I probably wouldn't have been able to cope with it at all, I'm managing.
Regarding coping, I try to be as easy on myself as possible - so I'll text them to say congratulations and avoid seeing them too often/ for too long at a time. Don't feel that you have to put yourself through looking at scan photos, etc - if they're good friends they'll understand.
Good luck with everything xx

Thanks for the reply, iv been having good days and bad days, today is a bad one it just makes you mad at the world. Il pick myself up again soon it's just so frustrating how ur body can punish you so much. I just need my period to reassure myself I'm getting back to 'normal' xx

Hi youmeddlingkids so sorry for your losses, my method was to avoid my friends but I don't think people understand sensitivity until they have been through it, the constant messages about her morning sickness took its toll on me so it's a shame but I didn't need it in my life at the moment. These forums get me through bad times but I just feel like my life is on hold waiting for something to happen :( xx
