I just wanted to share with you something...
I had a miscarriage on Sunday, August 9Th. I was 8 Weeks 1 day pregnant. However still not sure when exactly between the first ultrasound- July 31(which they found nothing wrong). And Sunday when the baby passed away. I had a D&C (Dilation and Curettage) done that night at the hospital. And I go back on August 24Th for my 2 week checkup. And hopefully get some answers then. When they did the Ultrasound on Sunday I didn't see the screen however my DH did. He didn't tell me until about 2:00am that night when he broke down crying, because he couldn't get the picture out of his mind.
But I just knew! I had a feeling that it was happening. My BBS did'nt hurt anymore, I had no appetite. I was bleeding and cramping from July 30Th until my surgery August 9. I was on strict bedrest for the entire time! So I was preparing myself for it. It happened for a reason though. And of course going through it for almost 2 weeks was the worst!
So I'm still taking it easy. My spotting seemed to have stopped this past Saturday from post-op surgery. My body aches from the surgery. And my throat is sore because they had a difficult time fitting the breathing tube. And they say you could start again after a month. However we both said that we will wait a while. It's still too early. So it's one day at a time!!!
I just wanted to let you all know about it. DH and I thought maybe November would be a good month to TTC. But we both said that we are not telling anyone when we do get a BFP! At least until 12 weeks or so.
So we will be in the running again in a couple of months. I will of course keep you all updated.

I am soooooooooooooo sorry about your m/c. I can't even imagine how devestated you are feeling and I know that there are not any words that can make it better. Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It also breaks my heart that you spent 2 weeks waiting during bedrest, they must have been the longest days for you.
Again, I am so sorry and am sending you many healing hugs!

I first saw your ticker that something had changed with you and had to search through the boards to find your story. I'm sooo sorry. I know this is very heartbreaking for you and your DH. You're right, everything happens for a reason, however its no less frustrating or sad when it does. My prayers are with you, and I hope when you do finally get another BFP, it will be the healthiest of babies!!

I can't even imagine how it must feel to have a baby growing inside for two month and then it's gone. Best of luck to you and DH in this difficult time and hopefully you will get PG again soon and this time have a healthy 9 months!!! Keeping you in my thoughts

I'm so sorry..I saw your ticker yesterday when I finally had a chance to get back online and had to come find your story. I can't imagine how hard it must be but it sounds like you are doing okay. I'm just about 9 weeks along with my first pregnancy and have recently noticed that I'm not really expereincing very many symptoms, I'm hoping that is just the end of the symptom cycle since I read that after the 7th week the symptoms may fade. I haven't been to the OB yet because they didn't want to see me until I was between 8-10 weeks along so I haven't had an ultra sound yet. I wish you all the best with your recovery and ttc when you are ready. Kepp us posted. Good luck!

I am very sorry for your loss also. My story sounds similar to yours in that I also miscarried at 8 weeks pregnant and it was very devestating. My husband and I were TTC for 7 months when we finally got pregnant. We were so darn excited that we told our family and friends when I was 6 weeks. I had gone for a transvaginal u/s on a Friday, the tech. said i measured out to be 5 weeks 6 days, when I knew that I was almost 8 weeks along. There was only a sac and no embryo or heartbeat. He gave me the info. that either I wasn't as far along as I thought or that it was an abnormal pregnancy. My husband and I left there feeling very uneasy..I just prayed that it was nothing. But that same weekend on Sunday I began spotting and it just continued to get worse. It was a terrible thing to go through but my body dispelled of everything on its own. I haven't been the same since, and I'm sure your not either. But I do wish you peace on this journey to concieving again and I wish you the best!!
Take Care...hope you are doing okay.

UPDATE
2 week follow up appointment. (August 24, 2009)
As you all know I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks 1 day pregnant, on August 9, 2009
I had a D&C procedure performed on me that night.
I found out at my appointment Monday that the baby's little heart had stopped beating at 7 weeks gestation. There's no answer as to why I miscarried. And I don't believe that there ever are answers!
The Doctor told me that I healed from the procedure. However there is a possibility that I have a UTI, and had to give a urine specimen. I will find out towards the end of the week the results.
I told him that I was having some light cramping. Not to worry he said it is a good sign. It means that the walls of my uterus are building back up again.
He said to try again as soon as we are ready to. And to NOT worry about miscarrying again. Along with the known fact that many women after having a D&C procedure performed are more fertile. And with that said can conceive extremely quick.
When Davi (DH) and I are ready to try again in the near future we will. VERY NEAR I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for now it's one day at a time. I actually feel much better after yesterday's follow up appointment. It's like there's light at the end of the tunnel. And now there's new hope!
Thank you to everyone for your support. And to please keep our family in your prayers!
And now although I'm not in the running yet, or in the 2ww. I would love to join you all back there once again!!!
Love, Mary
