I asked my doctor why I had the miscarriage. He wasn't sure. I also had a problem when I went for my ultrasound, he could not see the baby. The amniotic sac was there but no baby or yolk. I leared this was called a blighted ovium. One of the causes I was told is when the mom and dad's chromosomes don't match up. The body miscarries the baby. I think that was my problem.

I'm reading through all of your comments and I'm just sitting here wondering if any of you tried to see why we have these miscarriages. I mean, in my case, I have had two in four months and I can't help but wonder if there's something else going on with me. The only thing my doctor found out is that I have a blood clot disorder, but my sister does too and she is having a healthy pregnancy. My doctor keeps telling me that...

I just miscarried as well this last week. My twin sister is due within a week of when I was, so I know exactly what you're going through.

It has taken me a couple weeks to be able to actually write about my loss. In November I went to my first ultrasound at 11 weeks pregnant. When I had the ultrasound and I saw my baby I can't even begin the kind of happiness I felt, until I asked to hear its heartbeat. The look in her eyes told me everything I needed to know. My baby had no heartbeat and had only made it to 8 weeks 4 days. I was in shock, how could this be happening? I...

Oh sweetie i know how you feel. The holidays are very rough for all of us who are going through this. Dont ever apologize for how you feel and nothing that you feel is silly!! I know this is going to sound stupid but just take one day at a time. I just do the best that I can. I only lost my daughter 17 days ago but I also lost my son two years ago on december 14th. You will have good days and bad days and you have every right to feel as you...

Hi, I'm coming out of lurkdom to respond to your post. I also have anniversaries in December and they're very hard. My grief counsellor and family doctor told me not to get too concerned about the grieving until after the first year had passed. You're not going crazy. Add the stress of Christmas and all the perfectness that's supposed to go along with it and that doesn't, and it's generally a very hard time of...

I am aslo sorry for your loss. I had the same thing happen to me 2 times. Now I am so scared to try again I don't want to have to go through that again. I am also scared what if I can't physically have another child.

So its like 4 days untill xmas and I am feeling reaaaally depressed right now (being stuck in this snowstorm in D.C. doesn't help either, since I can't go anywhere to get my mind off this). I would have been almost 5 months right now. I thought I was over it but apperently not. I think the holidays is what is triggering these emotions, also my friend who had the same due date as me just got married so I have been chatting with her...
