Miscarriage: Recurrent Early Loss


Early loss is... watching that wonderful temp climb drop, after several days of positive pregnancy tests.

Early loss is... seeing that second line disappear after several wonderful days of lines.

Early loss is... feeling your symptoms disappear, one by one.

Early loss is... knowing that you have failed... again and again.

Early loss is... waiting for the spotting, waiting for the blood, waiting for the end.

Early loss... is losing your hope of ever having a successful pregnancy.

Early loss is... losing your innocence and joy of pregnancy.

Recurrent early loss is heart-breaking.
Recurrent early loss is soul-destroying.
Recurrent early loss is lonely.
Recurrent early loss is on-going.
