It is a shame that you had a experience like that. The loss of a
pregnancy at any stage is a truly devastating experience. I am sorry
for your loss. I lost a pregnancy, at about 8-10 weeks, I can still
remember the feeling of utter loss. You need to know that there are
many caring medical people out there to meet your needs. Please find
someone who will treat you as a whole person. Good luck and God bless!
