Hi ladies. Let me start out by saying that I am so sorry for all of your losses. This is such a hard journey and I hate that we are all going through this. I would like to share my story in hopes of helping others and maybe connecting with those that have been through something similar. On April 8, 2014 my doctor called me with some unexpected news. She told me that my egg quality and quantity did not look good and that it was possible but not probable that we would get pregnant on our own. She made us an appointment with the fertility specialist and we were heartbroken. The day that we got the call is the day we stopped using protection and that day we got pregnant. We were in shock when we found out (I took 3 tests and still couldn't believe it) and the were even more shocked to find out that we were having twins. Things were going great until I started bleeding and cramping around week 10. At week 13 they decided to send us to the high risk OB because they could not figure out why I was bleeding. It was at that appointment that he told us that our sweet Katherine no longer had a heartbeat and that her sister Karina had very low amniotic fluid and was probably not going to make it. Karina fought for three long weeks with very little fluid. They monitored us well and did two ultrasounds every week. Every time we went in the doctor would tell us how surprised she was that our baby was still fighting. She was tiny, but so incredibly strong. I delivered her sister at 16 weeks in the hospital and that is when we learned that she was gone too (even though she had a strong heartbeat the day before). They gave me meds to induce and an epidural to help with the contractions. I delivered her 18 hours later. The second placenta was coming out in chunks so I was rushed down for an emergency D&C. I had lost a lot of blood and they insisted on putting me to sleep incase they had to do a transfusion. Luckily, it never came to that. I became anemic and was very sick for weeks after this. My milk came in and that was so hard and I am still really struggling with the loss. But I got to hold both of my angels loved every second with them. It was scary and so traumatic but I would live that day all over again if it meant that I could hold my babies again. Thanks for listening. I am so sorry for all of your losses.
