(Sorry...PTSD not PTST Post Tramatic Stress Syndrom)

Hey room. I'm new. My name is Reagan and I'm transfering over form the Infertility room. My DH and I have been going through infertility treatments for about two years. We just had another m/c but this time it's ... different. The baby died at exactly the same gestation age (6 weeks 2 days) as the last m/c which my RE thinks has to do with my body producing weak eggs? Anyone heard of that? Anyway, so I went in for a D&C like I had the last m/c. Well about two days later I starting getting shooting pains in my uterus. The next day it was worse, then the following day I was rushed to the ER. Come to find almost a week after my first D&C that there was a disconnect between my reproductive organs and my hormones. My uterus knew there was no longer a baby - my hormones did not. The result. I went into a kind of labor! My RE said it's very rare but it explained the contractions and pain in my uterus. We had to go to the OR that day and have an emergency SECOND D&C. Well that was a month ago and I'm still numb. I've been on the lowest dose of Lexapro for depression but I really feel something much darker is brewing inside of me. I can't sleep. I relive the pregnancy, IF treatments, the miscarriages.

So I guess my question is: am I going insane? And has PTSD ever been connected to m/c? Maybe I'm just weak.... Thanks for any help you guys.
