Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Early M/C
Yesterday, I went through what I've been reading a few have gone through here recently too. I was almost 5 weeks and I started light pink bleeding in the morning. It progressed, got heavier and brighter so my doctor had me in for an ultrasound. The bloodwork comes in today but there was nothing to see in the u/s and we're expecting my HCG levels to be pretty much gone...the POAS that had me take came out negative.
I thought I was fine. DH and I were trying to look at all the positives like at least we know we can get pregnant, things happen the way they're supposed to happen, etc.
But for whatever reason, now that I'm at work, it just hit me like a ton of bricks. =(

Re: Early M/C
Madisen, I'm SO sorry for your loss! I am going through the same thing right now...
Today is my first day at work since my m/c and on my way in I had horrible cramps and almost turned around and went back home. I keep saying to myself it's better I'm here and getting paid than home on the couch doing absolutely nothing (which I did all day yesterday).
Everyone says it just takes time and I think that it will. I started temping again as we want to try right away and yes, at least we know we can get pregnant now...
If you need to talk I'm here! (off and on throughout the day but I'm here)
That's exactly why I didn't stay home today too...figured it was better to stay busy and go about my regular routine.
Thanks for the words of support. We also want to start TTC again as soon as it's safe and healthy to do so.
Had you told people yet?
We had told my mom's side because my grandma is in a nursing home and they don't expect her to live much longer so I had to call my mom and tell her about the m/c last night. I'm hoping she spreads it around because I don't want to have to tell anyone else.
I started temping this morning and we're going to start trying again this weekend (BD every other day and OPKs) so at least it makes me feel like I'm being pro-active and doing something towards getting PG again. Plus my DH doesn't have a clue how to act, what to say, etc so at least we can talk about TTC again...
Yeah, we had told our families because SIL on DH's side is 12 weeks and we were all excited about having cousins so close together. Plus, my grandmother on my mom's side is also still around and loved hearing about a first great-grandchild.
So last night we went through calling both our parents/brothers/sisters to tell them all what happened. Everyone's been really supportive, but saying it out loud (and over and over) sucks. We recently moved out to Florida from California where both our families are so I just feel that much farther away from everyone too.
I'd like to start TTC'ing this month too, but DH is saying we should wait until Dec's cycle. He's not sure what to do/say either.
Oh, that really sucks!! My cousin's wife is PG also, around 10 weeks and my cousin and I were born 3 weeks apart so our family was really excited about having our babies so close too. Hopefully you'll get KU again soon and still have close babies, that's what I'm hoping for. I'd really love to find out before x-mas so we could tell people at x-mas (yes, I'd still tell family early again).
Do what you feel is right for your body, I'm afraid if I don't get back into trying again that I'll just get in a funk and become even more depressed, you know? We'll see when the bleeding and cramps stop though, you never know...
On the plus side I'm happy I can take ibuprofen again for these cramps and I plan on having a few drinks this weekend (even if I am just sitting on my butt at home still hiding from the world!)
Just talk to your DH as much as possible and tell him when you need him. I'm having a hard time with that, I'm really independent and saying I just need some loving and cuddling time is hard for me.
All great advice. Thanks, egan.
We should keep in touch...
I just had the same thing happen, I am glad to hear that others will keep trying. I wilsh you a ton of sucess. We are back to trying and we hope for a sticky baby also. If you need to talk please contact me.
I'm really sorry for your loss. No matter how far along you were, it still hurts like h^ll.
Take care and you are welcome to come here for support from others that have been through it.
