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!!

Lucy & Randy...I am so sorry you lost this baby, I know it was what you all wanted so much. We have to remember, everything happens for a reason. Right now it is hard to understand why God would take this from you but it is at times like this you have to trust him and that is hard too. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Donna
I am so sorry to hear about you losing your baby. I know from experience that it is one of the toughest things to go through. We went for our 9 week checkup and because of my size they did an ultrasound because they couldn't hear the heartbeat. The baby had died 2 weeks earlier, and it was called a missed miscarriage. I had a d&c which didn't work, and ended up miscarrying on my own after.
I know exactly how you feel, you just have to remember that this pregnancy wasn't meant to be, and when you do get pregnant again (although the fear and worry will be there still), the pain will slowly go away.
You won't hurt as bad, but you will always be a little sad. I know I still think back to 8 years ago and get a little sad.
I hope it passes quickly for you so that you and your husband can start healing.
