I'm sorry for your loss Makarov. I think maybe there wasn't a thread before because miscarriage and loss isn't talked about much in general, but if it is talked about it's more often talked about between women, I think. But thank you for starting the thread and being open about your feelings, hopefully it helps to talk about it and know you and your wife aren't alone.

You can add me to the list of those who have had a loss (at about 7 weeks). It really is surprisingly common but that knowledge doesn't necessarily make it any easier when it happens to you.

I think some people do find it very devastating and difficult, and some people get over it more quickly (ie GGG). I think in some cases that might be a reflection of how far the pregnancy had progressed and also it might sometimes be easier for a Dad to "get over it" than a Mom. It's hard when it's your body, to not feel guilty or to blame somehow, even though it's never anyone's fault it's just the course of nature unfortunately.
