I've had ivf I got to 8 weeks was told to stop medication. Had a ERPC 10 weeks later after tooing a froing from the hospital they finally found some tissue there, so I've had my second procedure Friday, I'm trying to hold it together but I feel I'm losing my strength, if I cry I know I won't stop, I feel soo alone, I was doing so good an so well.

I'm so sorry. I've had 2 MCs and I can totally identify with feeling alone. When you lose a parent, a grandparent, a pet etc, you talk so openly about it, people check on you, they offer condolences and the world expects you to need some time out. MC feels so personal and private and lonely.

Please know that it does get better, the big hole in your heart will never heal completely but it won't always be so deep and dark. Cry as much as you want, sometimes trying to keep it in does more harm than good. Sending you love.

My DH is/was exactly the same. He said all the right things and was always there to hold my hand etc, but I could tell he just didn't get it. I think for a lot of men, being a parent doesn't begin until the baby is born. For women, it starts from the moment you see that positive test. Also, the physical toll of MC can be huge, especially if you've had an ERPC.

Have a cry, watch something stupid on Netflix, order your favourite takeaway. Don't worry about anything apart from looking after yourself.

@PrimeraVez thanks you yes I've had 2 ERPC with this one as they didn't realise until 10 weeks after they left tissue in there.
I've had a cry today
I know it's hard for them aswell. I'm just emotionally drained no family an no friends where I live so really hard. Thank you for you kind words :)
I'm sorry you went through the same. Sending lots of love xx
