Hey everyone! Figured it was time to tell my story.
My husband and I have been married just over a year now (9/15/13) and our original plan was to wait a few years before we start our family because we are both only in our early 20's. Well things don't always go according to plan. I had been taking the pill for a few years and my last pack ended in June. My body got right back in synch on its own with my lmp being 7/11. By 8/13 I had a positive pregnancy test. At first. I was shocked and scared out of my mind mainly because I have a family history of genetic disorders. I decided I wanted to have some genetic testing done for myself right away to know what was going on. By early September we found out all the genetic testing had come back clean, at that point I felt I could finally be happy and excited about the pregnancy. I went into a regular scheduled ob appt 9/24, at which point they did a pap, blood work and tried to listen to the heartbeat. I should have been 10w 5d at that point, they couldn't find the heartbeat but they reassured me it was nothing to worry about because I was still early in the pregnancy. I listened to their reassurance and didn't think twice that something Could be wrong with the baby. On 9/27 I started having brown spotting and called my doctor immediately. She reassured me again that it was nothing to be worried about since i had just had the pap a few days earlier and brown blood just means old dried blood. Again, I continued on not thinking anything of it. 9/30 my whole entire world came crashing down. My sister had been terminally ill for many many years, she was living on borrowed time. sadly enough, that was her day to go. I started having pink/red spotting that night. I immediately went to the er. They did blood work and an ultrasound. They tested my hcg level which was significantly lower than what it should have been at 11w 4d. The ultrasound showed there was a baby, but no heartbeat. I found out that I had lost a sister and a baby in the same day, talk about devastating. They told me to follow up with my ob to have more blood work done, so on 10/2 I had more blood work done confirming that my hcg level had dropped even more. That night I had extremely bad cramping and heavy bleeding, went back to the er and started passing tissues and clots. My body worked on its own and I had a natural m/c that night. I bled for about 6 days after that. These past 3 weeks have been so difficult to deal with both of the losses. Probably within about 4 months, given that my body will regulate fairly quickly, my husband and I want to try again but I am already so scared about trying again and having another miscarriage, or having difficulty getting pregnant again.
Thank you for reading my story! I look forward to learning more about everyone!
