There are no support groups near here. My mom told me not to talk about my loss. I was 6wks pg when I lost my baby and my sister's girlfriend was 7wks. Mom didn't want them upset. Back in 2006 you had a forum or a link to one. It was a safe place to talk all we wanted. No one trying to one up another, just grieve together. 10wks later I found out I was pg again and lurked on the forum until I was put on bed rest. Then I got busy with baby and life. I wanted to come back and let you know how much this site meant to me. Actually, there are no words, just grateful tears. I don’t know where I would be today had it not been for you.

DES exposure is an established risk factor for miscarriage. Can you please include this in your information about causes of miscarriage? More info at www.cancercouncil.com.au/editorial.asp?pageid=248 Thanks! Dear Deanna

You can imagine all the reading and the online searches I've done in this time. But every time I have a symptom I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere else, your website always come up with the right answer. Among all my frustrations, fears, and tears the detail on your site has helped me greatly. Thank you. Dear Deanna – I’ve had three miscarriages in one year.

It has been much support for me over the last few days whilst i have been having my miscarriage. I was only 6 weeks pregnant with #2. Our first baby was conceived via IVF and and this baby was a natural conception. Reading everyone else's comments and stories makes it ok now for me to feel the way i do. I felt i didn't have a right to be upset as the pregnancy was so early. I hadn't even had a scan yet. It still feels horrible to lose your baby, no matter how far along you were. So thankyou for putting this site together. Hi Deanna,

I haven't been able to find any supporting literature and I'm wondering what the point of it is? What, if any, harm does fresh sperm do to a freshly fertilised egg? Thanks in advance... Hi Deanna,

I have one beautiful 2 and a half year old son and since him I have had 2 miscarriages…both very early..6 weeks or so. My latest m/c was 6 weeks ago. I had a D&C and just got my first period since the m/c. My hubby and I are gonna try the “sperm meets egg” plan this cycle and see what happens. I was wondering if anyone has any success stories from trying this plan??? I could really use some positivity..haha. Good luck ladies! Hi Everyone,

I know it's a long time to wait! Books take a long time to come! There will be more sneak peeks on the web site starting around Mother's Day, when the Advance Reader Copies will start going out to bloggers and book reviewers. Thank you for being a fan! That means a lot! Michelle,

While I was going through the experience I found your website and wanted to tell you how much it helped me. You have so much helpful and important information. It really offered me a beacon through the storm, and allowed me to feel prepared (at least somewhat) for what to expect, and to begin to feel okay about what had already happened. I appreciate your strength, support, and willingness to provide this service to so many confused and heartbroken women. Thank you.
