Intro from August 14

Hi ladies,

I have commented a few times, but am now introducing myself from the Aug 14 board. Here is my story (I'll try to keep it short and sweet)---My first u/s was on 12/20, when I thought I was 8w. We saw the heartbeat, but I was only measuring 6w0d. I was concerned, but my doctor said I probably just ovulated later. Hubby was over the moon excited, but I just had a feeling of something being wrong. 

The spotting started on 12/21, brown at first but turned to red by the evening. I went back for another u/s on 12/23, saw the heartbeat again, and found a subchorionic bleed, which the doctor was still not concerned about. We told our parents on Christmas Day, everyone was thrilled. I started bleeding heavily late that night into the next, and finally went to the hospital on the evening of 12/26 when the miscarriage was confirmed. Since it was sitting so low in my cervix, the doctor reached in and extracted all the "tissue" (I hated hearing him call it that) he could see. I passed the rest later that night at home. 

I went back to my doctor yesterday. The spotting is pretty much all done now, so she said we could have sex again, but advised me to not try to get pregnant again for at least 2-3 natural cycles, to rebuild the uterine lining to prevent another miscarriage. Since my miscarriage happened on the exact day I would have gotten my period had I not been pregnant, I am hoping my cycle will pick up right where it left off so we can start trying again in March. It will be my last hope to have a 2014 baby, which I so desperately wanted (I have a thing against odd numbers. Stupid, I know).

I was not prepared for the emotional roller coaster of the past week. This totally sucks. I am hoping that meeting you all and reading your posts and comments will help us heal.

    I'm sorry that you are finding yourself here. As if it wasn't bad enough to lose a baby, us all having to do it around the holidays is extra crappy! I feel for you. Sending you a hug!

    Allyson25 I'm so sorry for your loss...you are not alone. Many of us also had that feeling that something was wrong, even before the doctor told us that something was in fact wrong. I so know that feeling...it is so horrible and lonely. Sending you hugs and good wishes for a 2014 baby.

    So sorry for your loss. I really wanted to have a baby before my 31st birthday in November 2014. I was ecstatic to find out I was pregnant and due on July 28th, especially since I have summers off from work. It was like all the pieces were falling into place. Then spotting started on 12/21. On 12/23 I went to the ER, where they could find the little peanut in the sac in my uterus. They said the baby was only 6 weeks in measurement even though I was supposed to be 9 weeks. The bleeding continued and when I went back on 12/26 they confirmed I was having a miscarriage. Thankfully the doctor had the common sense not to refer to my baby as tissue. I hope you get that 2014 baby you so want. Best of luck!

    I'm sorry you are here.  I'm another August 14, we had an ultra sound 12/19  I was told I was a few days behind by the tech.  I got a call the next week they told me I had only measured 4 weeks and must have messed up my dates.  I knew it was over at the point.
