    @simplyfelicity: thank you for saying that. I really want to be optimistic and excited in the future, but I don't know how to procure positivity. maybe time will fix it. right now, I can't imagine having a normal experience, but I hope to get there.
    PS: I have come across so many threads you started or commented on that have helped me in the past few months when I've searched for all kinds of things. you have a wonderful attitude and your contributions are so helpful--thanks for that, too

    I'm sorry for your losses! I also had two in a row, I saw a couple of physicians, all said they weren't concerned until 3. When I finally got pregnant a third time I called my midwife that day and asked if I could come in for a quick test to confirm and to ask questions. They were very obliging and got me in that afternoon. I went back a couple of weeks later, earlier then they recommended just because I wanted to, and they let me have an early ultrasound at 6 weeks to see the heart beat. I was paranoid and annoying patient for a few months, but the midwife was very sympathetic and gave into my pleas. She even said I could call and go in for a doppler if I ever wanted to, which some days I did, because I had flashbacks of miscarriages and would get scared.
    Getting pregnant after a miscarriage or two is exciting and terrifying, I really bennifitted from a midwife who understood my fears and let me take unnessary tests and screenings so I could be reassured.

    @LCTBQE: A lot of people told me that once I had my first cycle after the loss, I would start feeling better, and though I'm not there yet (and I want to be! so crampy, want to get a move on, and I already POAS and it was negative so come on, period) it seems to be helping. I don't know how much of my own struggle has been hormonal, but I definitely feel a lot more level now.

    @Keybee: yes, regarding "paranoid and annoying": at my last appointment I asked my OB if this happened because I didn't floss enough, or because I picked up my 75-lb dog a lot, before telling her that I'd live in their office if I could. I don't want to be their crazy-lady patient, but your approach sounds like the only way to get through the fear. So, so glad to hear it finally worked out for you.

    @MrsDragon: yes, I felt so much more re-set physically after my first cycle *last* time--my hormones were going insane the entire month after the D&C. this time, though, I honestly am just fine already, which I think is probably because my hcg levels and progesterone never actually got that high. I'm glad you're feeling better and so happy you're able to try again. xx

    PS: does anyone know what happened to @simplyfelicity? I went to go answer a message she wrote on my wall yesterday, and her account is shut down--she was so active, I'm surprised to see her gone.
