My husband and I have been married for 7 years. We were so excited when we found out we were pregnant this week.  Unfortunately, we also found out we were miscarrying in the same week. I'd been bleeding for nearly 15 days. I have an appointment with the OBGYN on Monday morning at 9:30am.
I know that it's all in God's timing and that we will have a child. It hurts, and I cried enough tears to fill a bathtub yesterday and today. I just keep reading God's word and praising him through my pain.
Anyone that wants to touch base is welcome, I think that interacting with others that are going through or have gone through this would help.

TTC about a year now. We went to the OBGYN today and she was wonderful. She said that she understands that the moment a positive pregnancy comes up that it's a life and takes it seriously. She is not saying it's a total loss yet, and sent me for more bloodwork today. I'm happy she is doing everything possible, and I'm also ready to be off this emotional roller coaster. She said that the HcG levels didn't drop enough for her to rule it a miscarriage yet, that sometimes rare things happen and she'd rather have one more blood test done before making that decision.
Either way, I never knew how painful it would be to loose a life that's inside of you. I'm so connected.
Thanks for this awesome message board, so blessed to have the opportunity to talk things out on here. |

Jilly,
I hope all work out for you and your family. You are doing the right thing by continuing to praise God though your heart hurts right now. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all of your prayers and support. We think it is an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy based on the HcG #'s. I'm only 3 weeks at this point, so doing an ultra sound wouldn't show anything. HcG level was 191, then 188, now 193. I am going to do one more blood test either tomorrow or thursday, if the HcG drops a lot then I'll know it's miscarrying naturally. If it doesn't then I have to take Methotrexate so it's absorbed and doesn't lead to my tube bursting or long term damage.
It's really hard - like I am supposed to decide to abort my baby not knowing for SURE that it's in the tube.
However, I have been bleeding for 23 days now and last night and today have felt a bit of pain in my tummy.
My husband and I spoke today and we think the best thing is to do one more blood test, then take the medicine. What do you guys think? Man this is hard! |

| When I had my etopic I found out at a routine u/s. They thought it was a collapsed sac and sent me for a d/c. When they repeated my HCG after the surgery it had went down. However 3 days later it went up and continued to rise. They sent me for a formal u/s and my uterus was empty but they thought they saw something in my tube. They then gave me Methotrexate. After that my HCG went down. It was painful for me to go through this but my doctor was very thorough. She explained to me the necessity of this drug to save me from future complications. Such as emergent surgery. If God forbid you do have a tubal it can be life threatening. I know it is a hard choice to make but you have to also consider your health as well. Have the doctor talked about waiting another week to see if an u/s is possible then? Keep your prayers to God and he will provide you with the answers you need. We are here for you also. Keep us posted. |
