SAD DAY FOR US!
I lost our baby today!
I started spotting yesterday, got a call that the hcg level that was drawn on Friday was very low. I repeated it yesterday. Was called to come in and see the dr this morning. They did an ultrasound. The dr told us that the progesterone,and hcg were very low. Meaning this was an abnormal pregnancy , i was in early stages of miscarrying, and to top it off, the location of it was putting me in a serious situation. So they repeated the ultrasound again. The baby was located on the edge of the fallopian tube and the uterus and it was beginning to grow into the tube. They watched it for a while and there was no heartbeat, it was just tissue. What they measured on the ultrasound on Friday was a pseudocyst, in another location, that mimics a sac (this happens with ectopic preg.). If they hadn't looked farther they may have missed the baby. The dr said if I hadn't been so active in coming in when i did, that I would have been in serious trouble. I would have ended up having emergency surgery do to an ectopic pregnancy and/or, the baby could have grown big enough to rupture the tube and uterus because of the location it was in. They gave me methotrexate injections to help dissolve the tissue and continue the process of passing the remnants of this pregnancy. This is the conservative action. If it doesn't work, they will repeat them. Worse case scenario, surgery. Please pray this passes quickly!! I have been so heartbroken today!! My husband and I have been crying on and off!!
Thank you for your support and prayers!!

Dear Lucy,
My heart hurts for you and Randall. I know how excited you both were. No one understands unless they have been there. Richard and I lost our first baby after trying for four years to get pregnant. Our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ got us through it and I know that is what will get you and Randall through it. But, that being said...you must allow yourselves to grieve this loss. It is a real loss just as if this child had been born and then lost.
I will keep your entire family in our prayers. Don't give up. Now you know you can get pregnant and it will just be when now. I ended up with two VERY healthy children after my first loss. I thought I wasn't able to get pregnant and I did finally know I could.
God bless you both. Sending cyber hugs.((())) Please share with Randall!!

Lucy,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I could tell just from seeing the posts here that you and your husband were so excited and that this was a very much loved and wanted little miracle. My first baby, a little boy, was born at 27 weeks. He lived for 3 weeks and 6 days. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I read everything I could find to tell me how long I would hurt and ache for him. I thought if I just knew how long I would hurt that I could get through it. I wish so bad that you and your husband did not have to go through this. The only thing that helps is time and nothing can make that go any faster.
You are in my thoughts and prayers,
Kim
