Bad News… May 22, 2006

Filed under: IVF/Pregnancy — hbbaby @ 1:21 pm

Second blood test confirmed that indeed I was pregnant but that I am miscarrying. The blood test is supposed to double every twenty-four hours and mine dropped from 37 to 18. I was told to expect a very painful period (which came today and is a doozy let me tell you!) and that I should not try IUI this month but to wait for my uterus to get back to normal, which it should be by next month.I feel like we have some decisions to make. How long do we want to try before we focus on other alternatives like foster care to adoption. Do we try both at the same time? How will I feel if I never conceive? Etc. Etc. I guess I can’t think too much about these things until I hear more from my doctor about what is going on with my body.You can’t help but wonder if it will continue though…will I keep miscarrying. Did I do something wrong…etc etc.

    Something similar happened to us lately – I’m so sorry. This sucks, plan and simple.

    Just found you through mombian.

  2. So sorry to hear such sad news as I stumbled across your blog from mombian too.

    I think only having tried 3 times is still pretty early in the process – don’t give up hope and take good care of you – both physically and emotionally.

    We’re trying to convieve now too – so we’ll be holding you both in our thoughts.
