am i alone???

So it has been about a week since I stopped bleeding (tomorrow will be 7 days exactly), and I feel like my hormones are running rampant!!!

I found out in a matter of 8 hours that I was pregnant, and most likely miscarrying. I didn't have time to get used to the idea that I was pregnant, I didn't have time to get excited about it, and I didn't have time to let any excitement even foster. The night I found out, we found out it was most likely a miscarriage, that we would have to wait 2 days to see if we did indeed miscarry or if we were still pregnant and it was early.

I went back, got the blood work, and found out we had a miscarriage. That day I was upset. My husband had started talking to my belly, he started discussing names, how he was gonna tell everyone, and how he swore I was pregnant. That day was hard. I was not devestated, because there was never a build up, so the let down wasn't that far. However, I really wanted a child, so there was some disappointment.

Now, six days after all the bleeding has stopped (and let me just say how nice it is to sleep without pants on), but now my hormones are running rampant. I cry if I can't find a shirt I'm looking for. I pick fights with my husband for the stupidest things.

I guess I am just wondering, is this normal?? Did you girls experience surging hormones???? Please tell me this is normal and my body getting back to "normal".

I think its just our way of grieving it. being upset and taking it out on whatever is closest at the time.....

it takes time, but it does get better

You are most certainly not alone! It's alot of things...the surprise, disappointment, grief, and maybe some hormones which you completely can't control.

we're here for you.

OMG my friend this is SOOOO normal. I cried on and off for WEEKS after my m/c. I was a friggin disaster for DAYS!

Re: am i alone???

Yep. You're normal. You are grieving and need to feel what you feel. You are very hormonal right now.

I hope you feel better soon and I am sorry for your loss.

Re: am i alone???

It's been 1.5 week now since I had my m/c.

I think you get all kind of emotions and it's normal.

My boobs still hurt so I get a constant reminder. The rest of my body is completely out of wack.

Give yourself some time!

I am so sorry for your loss, but you are definitely not alone. Like the other ladies said, time will help you heal. After my pregnancy loss I remember telling the doctor at first that I really wasn't "that affected" and I was just fine... And I remember her telling me I need time to grieve and it hadn't fully hit me yet. Well, she was right. Time did make it better though.

I had a miscarriage in June of 1998. I was due on December 22 of that year. For some reason I thought about the baby this week and I was thinking about how he/she would have turned 10 this year.

You knew for a few short days -- I knew for a few short months. It hurts the same. It's a loss.

Hugs to you
