Today sucks. First u/s with the RE was last week. Baby was measuring a little small, but we saw a heartbeat & the doctor said she wasn't worried, but wanted me to come back this week to make sure things were progressing properly. So, we went for the 2nd u/s this morning. Baby stopped growing some time in the past week & there was no heartbeat. I had to call my OB to schedule an appointment for next week. I haven't had any cramping or bleeding, so it looks like we'll be scheduling a D&C when I go to see her. This is my first miscarriage. I don't think I've stopped crying for more than a few minutes since we found out 4-hrs ago. DH took the day off from work to stay with me. We will be able to get back into the research study as soon as I get the "all clear" from the OB. Sorry for the giant paragraph, but I really can't think too well right now.
