Saying Hello

"Hello"

My husband and I got our first ever BFP on 11/12/10 (his 32nd birthday) and the day before I ran my "comeback" half marathon after losing about 100 pounds.   We decided immediately to keep it a secret and only told a couple of friends but we'd be waiting until the holidays to surprise our families with this fantastic news.  We never got that far.

Our first u/s was scheduled for 12/6/10 and after meeting with the Dr. and explaining how sick I had been feeling, she even joked with us that maybe it was twins and then she started the u/s.  Right away I could tell her demeanor had changed.  She told us that the pregnancy was "threatened'.  She left the room to get us into a room with a higher quality u/s machine (she was using the portable).  She told us that I should have been about 8w2d and was measuring about 6w3d.  We also never heard a heartbeat but I knew that that wasn't unusual for this early but her using words like "threatened" and "not measuring right"....that it was bad.

We had to wait a couple of hours to see the other tech and have another u/s and my Dr. got called away to the hospital.  The tech asked if the Dr. had explained that the pregnancy was threatened and that I had had a missed miscarriage.

The rest, I've tried to blur out but it basically involves one treatment of cytotec and a few days off from work followed by a couple of weeks of the unknown.  

As the holidays approached, my husband and I began to discuss trying again---something I didn't even want to think about a couple of weeks prior, for obvious reasons.  I think I even told my Dr. that I'd wait 6 months.  

We have decided to try again and are hopeful, cautious, nervous, excited...how many emotions can you be at once?  I still haven't had AF since the m/c.

I still am not sure which board I belong on.  I even debated over which board to post this introduction on...TTCAL, TTGP, etc....

I enjoy the support you all provide and this board has proven to be one of the most helpful in the days and weeks following our miscarriage.
