We just got back from the doctor's office today and he confirmed a miscarriage. The levels in my bloodwork came back as a 6. He also said I'm having an unusually easy miscarriage. My pain isn't bad. I don't have much of anything right now but a dull ache.. but that could just be my heart. He said I'm pretty much finishing up. He also said DH and I will be safe to try again this September. The only question I have is Why? This is what I get for going public so early. My uterus shrank back to what it normally would be without a baby. I was supposed to be 7 weeks, but he said there probably wasn't even a baby in there, because of how low the levels are measuring even now, since the actual miscarriage probably happened yesterday while I was passing all those large clots and lots of blood. DH and I sat and cried together for a while. I think he's pretty much done crying, but I'm not. I'm going to give my heart and body time to heal. Maybe I can be in the May or June ddc. I'll be reading on here, but you probably wont see me around anymore.. *is moving to TTCAL board*  This was my first pregnancy.

Where can I get one of those beautiful stamps some of you ladies have about your angel babies? And/or maybe even those counters/tickers?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Cry as much as you need to. There is no rule that says you have to stop crying.

I'm already praying for a healthy baby next time around. DH and I are planning to try again this September. I'm probably still going to cry, even when it is a distant memory. Thank you so much..

Not sure if this is what you are talking about but...
You can get several blinkies here and here (Angel Graphics and blinkies). You can also do a google search for more blinkies or snag our blinkies by right clicking & saving them to your computer.
And here is where I got the counter in my siggie... Families.com's Counter Box section - Families.com

I am so sorry for your loss  Be sure to cry and vent as much as you need to. There is no set healing period. It does get easier but it is an ongoing struggle and some days are worse then others.
If you go to snugglepie.com and click on angel counter boxes. Then just follow the steps to create one. You then need to copy the URL and paste it to your signature in JM. It doesn't look like you have a signature yet, if you go to user cp and then you can create one.

Oh no I'm sorry.. Your description sounds a lot like mine; I had a pretty painless miscarriage but the emotional pain was unbearable.
*hugs*

As the others ladies I too am sorry for your loss. I took an entire week off after my miscarriage and cried for days! Then I picked myself up and slowly got back to real life. It has been 4.5 months and I still cry from time to time. DH just hugs me and knows I just need to let it out. I have found so much comfort in this board and the ladies here - I am sure you will too!
