It's not that I don't love you ladies, but oh how I hate to be back here. I had a loss back in February that was a chemical pregnancy. We found out we were expecting again June sixth. Betas rose appropriately, I was on Progesterone for support, we saw the heartbeat Monday...I felt so different about this time. Unfortunately, right after the ultrasound Monday I began bleeding. After another ultrasound Tuesday that still showed a heartbeat (but slower) and irregularities of the gestational sac, I resigned myself to accept the worst. Sure enough, an exam Thursday concluded my cervix was open, and an ultrasound Friday confirmed the miscarriage was complete. I am devastated. I feel defeated, worthless and hopeless. I know all these feelings are normal, but it's just so much harder this time, especially after seeing that encouraging little thump thump on the screen. I just want to scream. Cry. Pull my hair out. Right now I'm laying in bed, physically and emotionally exhausted. I feel guilty because I can't even bear to look at DD without sobbing, and her big sister shirt is now in a crumpled wad in the top of my closet as I never know if she'll be able to wear it. I had to give the ultrasound pictures of our kidney bean to mom for safekeeping. I know one day I'll want them, but right now I feel like ripping them apart. I am so angry. This is our third miscarriage of our marriage, and our second this year. I don't know if I can so this again...we have an appointment with our RE on July 14th to start some Bloodwork to look for answers. Does anyone have any insight as to what I should ask to be done? I never imagined this would happen to us a third time.

I am so so very sorry. I know it sounds redundant and I am getting tired of hearing it myself... but what else can one say to us, right?? I hope they find some answers for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is our second this year too and I can totally relate. My heart hurts for you. I'm waiting to hear tomorrow what our next step is, as I really really really don't want to make it 3 in a row.
