I went for the ultrasound this morning, and though the doctor can see the gestational sac (measuring 5mm x 9mm) he could not actually see a fetus yet. He said the sac is implanted and exactly where it should be, but he just can’t see anything yet. This could be because it’s too early and the dates are [...]

Hi, my name is Kate and I am a POAS addict. There, I have admitted it. I have taken a pregnancy test EVERY DAY since I first got the positive result, even when I was getting blood work done the same day. I am using the internet cheapies, so they’re only about 85 cents each, [...]
Here we go again…

The doctor just called with my blood test results. My beta hcg is at 34 and progesterone at 14.3. The doctor is optimistic that everything looks good so far, but I have to go back Thursday morning for another round…and then will probably have to have more levels done next week. I’m still in shock. [...]

Today is exactly one month after the miscarriage. Luckily for me, it’s also DS’s 4th birthday…so a very happy day and we had an awesome weekend of celebration. I only thought about 15 times that at his birthday party I had planned to announce my pregnancy, and got a little sad at the thoughts. But, [...]

Since my miscarriage earlier this month we have not been actively TTC. No Clomid, no OPK’s, no every other day baby dance. Just back to “normal” life. Sex when we feel like it, not when the stick I peed on says to do it. I even let DH sit in a hot tub on Saturday! So here’s [...]

I went to the doctor today and everything is progressing the way a miscarriage is supposed to. My body seems to be taking care of things well enough on its own, so he doesn’t think I need a D&C or other intervention. The cramping is horrible, almost contraction-like, but I took an oxycodone (leftover from [...]
Game over

As I was waiting in the lab this morning for my bloodwork, I noticed very intense cramping. By the time the bloodwork was done and I could make it to the bathroom, the bleeding had started with fury. I called the doctor’s office and there is nothing he can do for me. Game over. I go [...]
Still fragile

It has been a week now since the miscarriage started and was confirmed by my doctor. I haven’t really posted much since then, primarily because it hurt so much to think about and every post would be so negative. This week has been hard–probably one of the most difficult in my life. I feel like [...]
