The Crazy Truth

I was really starting to feel good about my pregnancy. I had a mini bump, and I was wearing maternity clothes. I just went into my 11 week appointment on 5/19/09. They put me on the scale and said I weighed 141lbs (this is the most I have ever weighed-and of course, said it is because I am pregnant).
The doctor tried to use a doppler and could not find a heartbeat. She then did a abdominal ultrasound, and still could not find a heartbeat. So she then vaginal ultrasound, and at that point, she let me know that there was no longer a heartbeat. And the baby was only measuring 7 weeks.
The last ultrasound that I had was at 7 weeks, and the assistant said there was a heartbeat. The crazy truth is that you really never know when the baby will actually stop growing and there will no longer a heartbeat. I guess I thought I was lucky enough to get a heartbeat to begin with. It has been a rollercoaster with my bleeding episodes--I was hoping that I would still be lucky this far along as well.
I am okay. Just a little in shock. And I took Misoprostal last night so it is an understatement that I have needed pain killers. I finally started passing blood clots last night. And I am hoping to just be able to move on, and eventually get the confidence to TTC again.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:6,7
I am so so sorry. My heart breaks for you. It just simply isn't fair. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
((HUGS))
Oh no...my heart just dropped when I saw you on here. I am so so so sorry. I know all you have been through and I've been through the same emotions... our stories ended up so similiar which I am so sorry about. I really thought things would turn out ok for you.
I am sorry if I am not saying the right things, I am sincerely in tears for your as I write this... I am so sad for you and feel horrible. That small percentage that they talk about yet we and so many on this board seem to fall into it. I ended up having the d&e..didn't think I could go through it naturally again. Yet, I am having complications as well.
Please feel free to message me if you need to talk....I'll send you my number if you want it too. Oh sweetie, I am just ...sorry.

It's humbling how much can change in a day.
So very sorry you are going through this~many prayers.?
I am so so very sorry :-(
Your story sounds so much like my 1st m/c. It really sucks to hear the hb and then you walk around for 4 weeks thinking everything is ok and then bam! your world is shattered. Life is so unfair.
Big Hugs. Take care of yourself and looking forward to seeing you on TTCAL when your ready.
