Q: lost pregnancy
asked by: El on January 9th, 2008

I've been putting this off all morning-it's my first day back at work.

We lost the pregnancy.
I had a feeling I would, so I was kinda prepared. Still pretty dissappointed though.

I didn't feel very pregnant, so I kept taking tests to reassure myself. I got suspicious when the result line didn't seem to be getting any darker at all.
Friday morning it was so faint, I thought it was negative, and then I started spotting.

I was sure it was the sart of a miscarriage.
Went to Dr for blood testsm, and straight into ultrasound- things were complicated by the fact that I was unsure about my dates, but there was absolutly nothing visable in the ultrasound at all- no sac, no "blighted ovum" just "corpus somthingum" on my right ovary to confirm that a pregnancy had occured- but didn't indicate WHEN it occurred.

The tech said up to 5 weeks or so, seeing nothing would be pretty normal, but I knew my first was almost a week prior so I wasn't convinced.
The results of my blood test came in Saturday my levels were only 18, they said they'd take another test Sunday morning, 48 hours after the firts on Friday to see if the number had doubled.
Sunday morning I started bleeding. Actually was nowhere near as bad as I expected- no pain or aything, just like a normal period.
I won't need a D&C unless the bleeding doesn't stop before this Sunday (it's pretty much stopped already), and I'm having a last blood test then to make sure my levels have gone back to pre-pregnancy.
Doctor seems to think I'll get pregnant again pretty quickly.
So, we'll see.
I'm treating it like a period, just waiting or it to be over to start trying.
Wish me luck!

I'm so sorry Sad That must be so hard to deal with. At least you were slightly mentally prepared and you have a good attitude about it. Since you conceived so fast this time, hopefully the luck will strike you again!

I agree, you have a really good attitude about it. I'm so sorry that you had to go through this, but at least it's been relatively painless.
***Baby Dust*** to you for when you start trying again!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad that you're taking it so well. Take some time to pamper yourself and go to a spa, a movie or something.
