Its inevitable that someone close to me (either physical proximity or relationship wise) has to be pregnant and due around the same time as a m/c baby. Always. For my April 08 baby, it was a close friend. For my February 09 baby, its two of my neighbors. For my April baby, its a co-worker. Now, for my October 09 baby, its a long-time family friend.
This, to me, is one of the hardest parts about RPL. Not only do I have to go through my initial pain/loss, I have to watch friends and family get pregnant, stay pregnant, and have a baby at the same time that I should be (All the while, I still can't stay pregnant.) I have to watch on the sidelines, with out a baby to hold- either inside or outside of my womb.
I'm just so confused as to what God's plan is here. I really, really don't "get it". Maybe I'll have this awesome testimony that I can share with others, but right now, I feel hopeless. (I've actually talked to E about selling some of our baby gear. I'm just not confident that we'll have a little one before that stuff is obsolete.) I just wish that God would fill me in a bit. Flip forward in my "book" that is my life to let me know bits and pieces of how it ends. Just to give me something to hold onto.

I'm sorry Tracy, that's so painful. Is there anything you need?
I can sympathize with you:-( Pregnant bellies and newborns are only a reminder of what we miss. I pray that someday God will heal our broken hearts.
I had a vague thought last night. You said your miscarriages usually only take a day... have you had your lining checked? I'm assuming you have because I'm guessing it's fairly common. I know they often check it during ultrasounds on monitored cycles. However, I had a specialized ultrasound that judged the uterine lining's supply of blood vessels, and I wondered if maybe something like that might shed some light on your situation. I just wouldn't expect a miscarriage bleed to be shorter than a regular period - kwim?
Been thinking about you often. I'm so so sorry!
Heidi- its shorter in length than my period, but much, much, MUCH heavier. :) I have my lining checked almost every time. Its always fine, or so they say.
(((hugs)))
that is really rough. that happened to me when I had my pg loss :( it was almost 2 years later before I even managed to get pregnant again. I could not imagine having to live through it more than once.
