I had a miscarriage back in August 2020 and I've struggled alot with it. I wasn't very far along but out of all of my miscarriages this one was the worst. I had been put effexor for my depression prior to being pregnant my family dr at the time had told me it was safe while pregnant and after talking to my pharmacy I found out it is not recommended. Well shortly after finding that out I had started bleeding it started out light then gradually got worse to the point if I moved I would soak through a pad and had very large blood clots. Due to the pandemic I had to wait until I had someone to watch my 2 little ones, when I finally got to the hospital they had me wait for 5 hrs in the waiting room even knowing how much I was bleeding well when we got the test results back for my hcg it had dropped drastically. They told me that I was having a miscarriage and that they wanted me to go for an ultrasound to rule out ectopic the following morning. I sat at yet another hospital 4 hrs past the appointment time for my ultrasound alone and a complete mess. They found nothing in my ultrasound and questioned me if I was sure I had even been pregnant 😭

Afterwards I was taken to a room to wait for the dr to come talk to me, I had asked if effxor could have been the cause and he didn't really give me an answer, I told him I had searched on Google and found that it has been linked to miscarriages among other things and he finally said that it was a possibility. After that I started searching for a new family dr as I no longer trusted the one I had.

Fast forward to last week, I am still struggling with my depression along with various other things my new family dr had sent a referral for me to be assessed and the lady I talked to was rude and judgemental she told me that effexor was safe and if I felt that way then I should be on birth control, my fiance and I should use condoms and that was a sign I shouldn't be so careless and have anymore children. Judged me on so many other things and it's left me feeling more upset and hurt than I was before. I'm going to be talking to my family dr and requesting I be reffered to someone else.

I guess what I am getting at is has anyone else been on effexor while pregnant and it result in a loss?
