I guess I belong here now

I'm very sad to report that DH and I lost our baby today.

I found out I was pregnant in a strange way.  DH and I were TTC #2 but we thought November was out because I started what I thought was a period on Nov. 10.  I had some abnormal bleeing on the 20th that lasted for a few days so I went to the Dr. this past Tuesday, and found out I was pregnant.  The timing was all wrong for this month so I knew something was wrong.

After I found out my beta was 832 on Tuesday I had some minor cramping, but the spotting I was experiencing was gone.  I felt fine on Wednesday and Thursday.  Friday morning I had a sharp pain that wasn't going away.   I ran to the store for some milk and on the way home had some intense cramping and back pain.  When I got home I noticed I had started bleeding again, this time it was red.

I called the OB on call and she told me that because my pain was moving around it could be either normal "growing pains" or a miscarriage.  She said to rest this weekend and repeat my beta on Monday as I was already scheduled to do.  After I got off the phone the pain became much worse and I was doubled over.  My Mom came over to watch DS and DH rushed home from work.  By the time he got home the pain was much better, but we decided to go to the ER anyway to make sure everything was ok.

They repeated my beta and it was 3300, so they said they would do an ultrasound because they should be able to see something by that point.  After it was done the ER Dr. just said that OB would be down to see me....we knew it wasn't good at that point.  We had to wait a few hours because she was delivering some babies.  Luckily the on call Dr. was the one I saw earlier in the week so she knew my history.  Once she came in she said they didn't see anything in my uterus and was 95% sure I had an ectopic pregnancy. 

I was going to have surgery friday night, but a couple of emergencies bumped me because I was stable and feeling pretty good.  So I had surgery around 11:30 yesterday and was discharged around 6.  The good news is that she was able to save my tube and ovary.

I'm home now and just trying to take it easy.  Luckily DH is off work most of the week, and DS is with my parents right now.  I'm devastated and hoping this does not complicate any future pregnancies if we're lucky enough to get pregnant again.  Sorry this got long, thanks for reading though.  You guys seem like amazing women, but I'm sad that we all have to be here.
