Can this relationship be fixed?

Hello :)
I'm in a very difficult situation with my beloved MIL. We have had a fabulous relationship for the last 15 years and not a cross word has been said. Recently however I have discovered that my MIL doubted if I was pregnant last year (ended in a miscarriage, I posted on the conception board about it at the time) and voiced her opinion to someone that we both know. It has also been revealed that she thinks my chronic health condition is fake and that I'm a hypochondriac. I won't deny that this revelation has hurt me very badly as my MIL knows I miscarried several times, it was because of her pressure many years ago that I gave in and had child number 1 so it's especially galling that she doubts I have been pregnant since. She has also revealed heartbreaking bereavements that I have suffered in the last 5 years to this mutual "friend" and I've had the awful details relayed to me.
She denies it but nobody else knew what happened and it couldn't have come from anyone else.
Is there a way back from this or is my once lovely relationship with my MIL over and now I just stay cool and civil for my DH and DC? I'm gutted.
