So sorry to hear of your miscarriage, I had one in feb/99. I too had a problem with progesterone, we just didn't know it was pcos, at the time I was quite angry w/my ob who was monitoring me no closer then a young healthy women, she also missed the pcos diagnosis.

I know it won't bring back this child and this pregnancy, but when you are ready to try again. Know that glucophage, clomid, progesterone and a gondotropin trigger shot, will help you to concieve again and hopefully not miscarry. Also some people are actually staying on the glucophage for the first trimester, hoping to prevent miscarriages that we are so at risk for, as vena noted in her post. So there is hope for the future.

Dealing w/the miscarriage is another story though I know, the grieving process needs to happen. I was lucky my church offered a grieving class for those who have miscarried, it talked about the different stages of grief and how to cope, we did memorial pages and had service in honor of our babies memory. It helped having the other couples to talk w/too. Maybe there is something like this in your area. I still have the binder they gave us, if you need any help.
