I've been debating for a few days now whether I should intro over here. It's not that I don't want to get to know you lovely ladies, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to really talk about what happened. Since I'm feeling so displaced though, I decided to bite the bullet and post an intro. I see some other Jan '15 ladies on here, so I do recognize some of you.
Last Wednesday, I had an OB appointment in the morning and we heard two beautiful heartbeats. Around lunchtime, I started bleeding and cramping. I called my doctor and was told to go to the ER. By the time I got there, I could hardly walk and was in tears from the pain. The u/s confirmed the worst, "no evidence of gestation". Just like that, my babies were gone. I was almost 13 weeks along. A doctor from my practice was on-call and arrived in time for the pelvic exam. I was shocked to hear her say "Do you want to see them?". My babies were just inside and she brought them out and wrapped them up so I could see and hold them. DH and I said goodbye and we were home less than 12 hours after everything started. Hard to believe just how fast your world can come crashing down.
The OB pulled out as much tissue as she could and then gave me Cytotec to help get the rest out. I almost ended up back in the ER on Saturday with increased cramping and bleeding, but I was stubborn and decided to wait it out at home. It got better, so I'm glad that I don't have another $150 co-pay. Today, my bleeding is very light and cramping is non-existent.
So, here I am, trying to reconcile that this is my 2nd loss (lost my last pregnancy at 22 weeks due to T21, heart defect and brain cysts for those of you who are mobile). My first pregnancy was pretty uneventful and yielded my 3-year old twin boys. Who knew that TFAS would be this hard and would give us such heartache. DH and I have agreed that we are done. It's a long story as to why, but we just can't handle any more losses. Maybe that will change in the future, but that's our position for now.
Thanks for reading and I'm very sorry that we are all here! Many (((((HUGS))))) to all of you!
