Rachel-- I am so sorry for your loss. This is also my second miscarriage and I am finding it really hard to rebound and be hopeful. I am so sad and worried and scared because I know there is no way I am stopping trying to get pregnant and that I may have to feel this pain again.

I haven't spoken to my RE but will on July 7th. The IVF nurse said they would do a full thrombophilia work up on me, and maybe other things but that the doctor would let me know.

I have been reading the book Coming to Term by Jon Cohen and it has a lot of good information and stories. The sad thing is that this happens so often BUT that does not mean that we won't be able to carry to term. On the contrary, it means we made it through some major hurdles and got pregnant and that is good news.

I know this doesn't make it easier...hell, it's not even helping me right now. But we're not going to give up, so now we just have to figure out how to get through this hell and stay strong.

AF came for me yesterday. Still heartbreaking.

It's really hard to find people to talk to about this. If you want to PM, I'd be happy to commiserate with you through out this process. I'm going to send you my email through PM.

I wish you the very best.
Bridget
