S.H.
I had a miscarriage at 6-weeks... there was a heartbeat previously... then none and the sac was just empty. But I had miscarriage symptoms. I had a D & C right after since I was already at my Doctor's office. The procedure was not awful and it was quick. I was there by myself, and everything happened so quickly... but I was fine. My Doctor and his staff was great.
Per my Doc, he said to wait at least 6 months before trying to conceive again. Yes, he said that these things happen, more than we think. In my case, the embryo was developing...but was not growing normally in terms of size and per the 'age' in weeks that I was pregnant. So, the embryo was not viable. It was meant to be.
I did feel a "loss" afterward... and I felt 'empty'...but this is normal. It took me a few months and of course the body's hormones will fluctuate too, thus making you feel sad... but I was okay.
I did get pregnant again, a few months after, with my wonderful son. There is hope and for a healthy pregnancy after. It will be okay. Really.
Just give yourself time, and talking about it with Hubby is always good too. You are not alone. It will be okay... and MamaSource is a great place to commiserate.
take care and all the best to you,
Susan
