I would just like to convey my thanks and gratitude for all the support that I have received in the little time I have been a member of this list, for all categories of discussion.
I have gone through it over the past ?? years and did not cope very well. I finally gave in and accepted therapy. I explained today that I had joined this site and speaking to other people about the emotions etc you have with m/c and i/f are very difficult to explain to somebody that has not been through same. When I told her the amount of support I have received she told me I was brave to do it but very supportive as she was about to broach the subject of grieving. She said that I needed to grieve for all the losses before I could move on. I have cried at replies back but feel I belong somewhere for a change. I am finally grieving!!
What a magnificent step you've made for yourself personally. Take as long as you need and we'll always be here to help and encourage you through it all.
you have all been wonderful and even though i still cry each time i read a reply, they are happy tears. I wish I know about this site before now, I may have been smiling a long time ago.
I believe all of us girls are of a special breed. We are strong people even if we don't feel like it most of the time. We will grieve and eventually in time make some sought of recovery but we will go on.
Besides becoming closer to DH finding this website has been the only good thing to come out of my infertility at last I really truely feel i'm not alone in my journey down IVF pathway , none of us are...
Be brave and don't be afraid to grieve,get angry, cry, scream you will become stronger. You know where we are.
loads of hugs

There are a lot of us who have dealt with the loss.
The grieving process I think is a lot different than when someone older passes or anything like that. No matter what anyone says we lose a piece of ourselves. I know I will never be the same I will always wonder "what would he/she have been like." You just take it easy and one day at a time. I learned from my therapist that you cannot fore yourself to grieve but you can force yourself not to. Let your body and emotions do what they need to because it's always what's best. Let me know if you need anything.

I have not been in touch for a month or so, mainly because I resigned myself to the fact that pregnancy was not going to happen again. We have just been to a NHS IVF clinic and they have accepted us for treatment Still a long way to go and still the chance of m/c again, but feel have to take a gamble of it working or not and if successful losing again. Any advice on preparing for treatment much appreciated.
