Sheila – I am so sorry to hear this. We are getting hundreds of reports of miscarriages after the H1N1 vaccine. On February 1st I will be interviewing Eileen Danneman with the National Coalition of Organized Women on the vaccine and miscarriages. My radio show is audio streamed at http://www.krfcfm.org from 6 to 7 pm MST. My heart goes out to you and the other women injured by H1N1.

I was 6 weeks pregnant when I received the H1N1 flu shot. I miscarried shortly after that. I don’t know if the two events are connected, however given the amount of similar reports we need to have the CDC to report #’s on this immediately! Personally if given the chance to go back in time, I would never have taken this vaccine and taken the risk.

Thank you for posting this extremely important information. I think it is especially poignant since you work within the industry and are perceiving what the concerned public is seeing.

Please let me say how sorry i am for your loss.I have been reading your reports and work in the pharamaceutic industry in the area of drug safety. Please go to FDA.gov website and download or fill out a vaccine adverse event form here’s the link (if you also google “fda vaccine adverse event form” it will take you to this page)( http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/ReportaProblem/VaccineAdverseEvents/default.htm) have your experiences registered with the fda so that the manufacturer can have a record of as pmany events as possible. My sister had the same experience at 5 mths pregnant and miscarried less than one week after she received the vaccine. If your physician is responsible he/she should report the incident even if there is no concrete way to prove the event happened due to the vaccine. In all of your stories there is strong temporal relationship with the vaccine administration and the onset of your miscarriages. If your physician is resistant to the idea of reporting, please do so yourself! consumer reports are valuable, but a report from healthcare professional is viewed as more reliable to the manufacturers. Please continue to try to conceive and dont let this bad experience deter your efforts to grow your families.
