Counseling

When I last saw my GYN for a quick post-infection checkup, he asked me something that has really got me thinking. I've had two miscarriages in the last 6 months. My cycles have been a bit screwed up since the last one (in Oct), so I've been asking him a lot of questions to try to get them straightened out. I'm not sure what else I've said to him to cause him concern, but he asked me if I've talked with anyone about my misscarriages. He said that he was concerned since I seem so focused on getting pregnant again and that's it. He's worried that I haven't really dealt with the losses and that trying to get pregnant again without really greiving isn't real healthy for me. (I've only seen this doc a few times, not during my losses.)

I told him I was fine (repeatedly) at the visit, so he dropped it, but now that I think about it, I guess he's right. What I'm wanting to know is, how is counseling going to help? I mean, what can anyone say to me that will help me get over the anger/frusteration/sadness/etc that I feel? It's on my mind, but it doesn't control my life.

How important is this? Doctors, do you usually approach patients about this? I'm a pretty easy person to read, but I can't figure out how he knew this bothered me when I didn't even know myself.

If anyone can offer any advise here, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks!
