Thanks to reader Tina who mentioned her miscarrage as a possible trigger for her recent relapse into depression on the message board of “Relapse: The Waiting Place.”
Just as depression is often triggered by a birth (postpartum depression), it happens quite frequently after a miscarriage, as well, or in the process of trying to conceive, with hormones going in every direction but straight.
All this pain associated with trying to get pregnant and failing to is why a lovely woman I met at the ‘ 07 BlogHer Conference last month, Rachel Inbar from Israel (her flight was longer than mine!) decided to create a website where women could share their fertility stories and advice.
I encourage all my Beyond Blue readers who are experiencing fertility complications and difficulties to visit Rachel’s site, “Fertility Stories,” at www.fertilitystories.com.
