My Miscarriage -Possible Trigger-

I know a few of you know about my miscarriage but not my most, So I am going to explain everything here. About 2 and a half weeks ago I started bleeding and it was really light and I didn't think anything of it because I had just started my second trimester so I figured everything was okay and I didn't have to worry about miscarrying so I didn't call the doctor about it...Until Saturday when I got into the bathtub and started gushing blood and passing clots the size of 2 baseballs combined. I was in extreme pain by that point and so I went to the hospital. They put me on a ton of fluids ,did a pelvic examine and removed quite a few of the larger clots,and then did an ultrasound to see if I had passed the fetus and the uterine lining. I had passed the fetus and there was only a small amount of lining/blood/whatever all that stuff is left inside of my uterus so they decided I did not need a D & C. I came home and they put me on methergine and doxycyline to make my uterus continue to coontract and to stop my blood from thining so much. They thought I was going to need a blood transfusion from the loss of blood. I have been to my ObGyn 4 times since I miscarried to check my HCG levels to make sure they are continuing to lower. This experience has been very hard for me. I had decided that I did want to continue with my pregnancy and I was looking very forward to it. This was heartbreaking and is really hard for me to talk about. I just feel like you girls all helped me so much just by little things you have done or said when I was pregnant and I just wanted you all to know what had happened and why I may be a little depressed. I really do want to try and concieve again now. Although the pregnancy wasn't planned it also wasn't not planned so I just want to help fill this hole I have now inside of me. It is really tearing me apart. I know that it was just a fetus and wasn't a baby yet but it was MY fetus and I felt I had a bond with it. Now I feel very alone and needing that feeling to be replaced with happiness. I just don't understand things. I feel as if this was my fault even though I know it was not.
Sorry for the length

i'm sorry you had to go through that. It's not an experience I've had, so I'm not sure what the right things to say are, but I do know that it's NOT your fault. Let yourself grieve, let your mind and body try to heal, but don't blame yourself. *hugs*

I am so sorry hun!! If you need someone to talk to let me know.
I had a miscarriage in March I was almost 17 weeks and I went in for my normal ultrasound and they couldn't find a heartbeat. I never started bleeding or anything so I had to have a D&C after I made them give me four ultrasounds to make sure there was no heartbeat so I know how hard it is hun and some times it makes you feel better just to vent
