SAD DAY FOR ME!

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!!

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost a baby last June. It was devastating. You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry. I lost a baby in 2008, and it was so hard. Keep us posted, I am sure we will see you soon. Hang in there - if you need to vent we are here. There are several of us that have been there, we understand.

I am so sorry for your loss!! I have had one ectopic and two miscarriages. I did the methotrexate injection with my ectopic. I just want to say we are all here if you need someone to talk to.

Take time to heal and deal with what you are going through!

Thank you everyone!!

I am planning on staying on this board. You all are amazing women!! Thank you for your support!! The injections have started to do their job. I am cramping and bleeding. My dr said that I can only take tylenol, no iburofen. If the pain gets to be too much, I need to call her and she wants me to go into the hospital. Is there anything else i can do for the cramps?? I am trying a heating pad.

Thanks everyone!

The job will do it's job but it is forcing the tissue out of your body. I just dealt with it. I had the bleeding, cramping, and pain. It was difficult! It sounds like your doctor us taking good care of you. Take the Tylenol!!

Thank you! I did take the tylenol 2 hours ago and nothing! But tylenol has never been a good pain reliever for me. The heating pad isn't helping much either. I will get through it. Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight, I feel so emotionally spent and exhausted, maybe this will over take the cramps!
