Getting off the Rollercoaster - Going for Adoption

Very wrong world. What's going on?


I got a hell of a shock this morning – I hadn’t checked on Jill for 2 or 3 days, and just popped over to find out that she has miscarried too. Number 6 too. Poor Jill, this is just so wrong. I was completely convinced hers would be OK.

So now Nikole and Jill follow Thalia and Pamplemousse and I really do feel a bit overwhelmed by the injustice of it all.

And last night I started spotting. I am just so glad I was expecting it, instead of it coming as a horrible shock like before.

This time I don’t have to rush around thinking ‘is it or isn’t it?’. I know this is a miscarriage. Not a bit of 'normal' bleeding in pregnancy' which lots of (other) women have.

This time there is no wondering if it it was me. If it was something I did in the last couple of days, because I already know my HCG was already shot to pieces last weekend. And I hadn't done anything.

For once I am waiting to bleed instead of dreading seeing spotting.

It does give me more questions about just how early I am really losing these pregnancies, though. When, on other occasions I didn’t start to really bleed until 8 weeks, I just thought that meant I had miscarried at 8 weeks, but now it looks like it may well have been over long before that.

I don’t really know if this means much.

  • Just a hug, Vivien.

    I hope the bleeding is tolerable and there is no physical pain.

  • I'm sorry you are going through this yet again. It is just so unjust.

  • Oh, Vivien, I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I am sad for you (and for Nikole and Thalia and Pamplemosse and Sami and everyone dealing with miscarriage). I hope that the physical part of this miscarriage will be as easy as possible for you.

    Thanks for your kind words and sympathy for me. It's hard to fathom that we can have six miscarriages in a row, isn't it?

    The only good thing in all of this is that we can provide some comfort to each other. Although we have never met and there's an ocean between us, we understand each other's pain and are not alone.

  • I now know what it's like to just want it over with. I hope the physical part is over quickly for you.

  • Viv, I am so sorry. I just hate that you are going through this again. I wish I could make it better.

  • I just came upon your blog and my heart goes out to you. You don't deserve this. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your feelings with your readers. I have only gone through it once, and that was once too many. Six is far too many. I am another person rooting for you and hoping your physical pain will be minimal and that you never have to experience this again.
