Came across this forum and I guess posting to get my thoughts out as not many places to turn for outlet.
Late 30s. We were told that it was likely not possible for my wife to get pregnant. It's been a few years since we were using BC. A couple months ago completely out of the blue we became pregnant. After complete shock and then initial worry about the known health issues and age we became obviously very excited. Something I had resigned myself to that would never happen, becoming a father to my child suddenly became a reality and all the future thoughts that go along.
After a few harrowing weeks of ups and downs we experienced a miscarry.
Trying my best to be there and strong for my wife, but I am really struggling. Ontop of the world to crashed in a moment.
We will try again in some time but I know the fear is now going to linger.
Thanks for the outlet
I know it's temporary and we specifically said we don't want to be those who are not excited or happy for our friends and family who are and do have kids but at the moment it feels like all I can see everywhere is young kids and happy parents and I hate that it was ripped from my wife in such a way and that we lost what seemed to be a miracle.
