I feel mad too. I also wonder why it's happening to me. I don't think I feel like I've let everyone else down, just myself really.

Yes you are definitely not alone!! I feel like that a lot too. Especially when I see pregnant women (strangers) or babies. I think why did they get to keep their babies and not me??????

yes!! I am bitter. I find myself thinking "why can THEY have a baby but I cannot" and just mean thoughts about other people who are lucky to have a baby. It's not fair and I think being mad, angry, pissed off and bitter are all very normal feelings for someone to lose something so precious.

Yes! I also get angry at myself. I know this is irrational, but I can't help it. I get mad at myself for not thinking it could happen to me. I've been a member of JM for 5.5 years and I've seen so many losses. More than I can count. I feel like I should have prepared myself better. Or at all.

A thought that I have quite a bit is It sure must be nice to just be able to get pregnant and have a baby nine months later. And when I'm thinking that, I'm almost always in some state of being upset/frustrated.

I think it's totally normal and actually healthy to get angry. I think its a stage your have to go thru when you grieve.

I am angry a lot too. I had my 2nd loss recently. The 1st one I was more sad and depressed and really wanted to get back into ttc. This time I am extremely angry. I get pissed when I go to the dr and see all the pregnant women (I've been having to go the dr every wk 'cuz my betas were dropping very slowly). And my job isn't the easiest after a m/c (I'm an infant room teacher). So everything gets to me sometimes. I get depressed sitting at home 'cuz it's all I think about, but when I go out and see baby things or pregnant women I get pissed. And what makes me even more angry, even though I love the show, is the 16 and pregnant show. Last week was a teenager having TWINS and I just wanted to throw the remote through the tv at her. All I ever say is it's not fair. And that's what it is. IT'S JUST NOT F***ING FAIR! And I feel pressure from my family to have a baby and I'm scared TO DEATH to try again. I want a baby, yes, but I CANNOT go through another loss! I even took time away from these boards 'cuz all I would do is just sit and cry reading them. It's getting easier as time goes by, but it will never go away. In fact, I plan on going and getting a tattoo on mothers day to memorialize my babies. Sorry this is so long, had to rant too. DH and mom just don't understand sometimes.

Hey honey...
YES! So angry it was consuming everything... it was in nearly every thought. I could go thru a long list of things that made me infuriated about my losses, it was the worst last summer with my 2 back to back losses in July & August. The anger turned into a deep depression as well which seemed so inescapable... it kept spiriling deeper into this black hole.
I cannot exactly tell you what made me or helped me stap out of it... it was a process, that of which is greiving. I think realizing that and accepting that there was nothing I could do to prevent it, that it was and just is without meaning or reasons that I may ever know in this lifetime. There are things that I may never be at peace with during one of the losses which is the dr mistake, but other than that I've come to terms with them. Their due dates were/are hard to come by... it made me a little angry, manic and very depressed all over again. It took me a few weeks to go thru the greif of not going into labor, not birthing and not holding my babe when I should be...
 ugh.
Let yourself be ANGRY, it's OK!!!! It's part of the greiving process for some of us.
