I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s not an easy thing to go through - and all the hormones still coursing through don’t help. I [went through this myself recently](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=178477) and one thing I noticed that really did help was that all of a sudden, we kept finding out about so many other people that had gone through the same thing, only to have healthy pregnancies later on. For a while there, it seemed that everyone I knew had had at least one miscarriage before having their baby. It seems that this is more common than most people realize. Somehow, I found that comforting - perhaps you will too.
