Sun, Mon & Tues this week we received 3 x faint pos hpt's along with pregnancy symptoms so we got excited and I went for a BT to confirm it before we announced it or got too excited.
BT result came back yesterday afternoon that showed only 3mIU hcg and the doctor told me that you are either a) about to have an early miscarriage / chemical pregnancy OR b) there is a very very slight chance the hcg could rise and become viable pregnancy. I knew what the outcome would be, there and then. I knew in my heart that we'd lost our angel. A day earlier i had done another hpt only to find it was extremely faint and barely readable but i ignored it as i didnt want to accept that i might have been losing the pregnancy.
I was only pregnant for 4.1wks.... OR you could say 2.1wks really but i only knew about the pregnancy for 5 days
I woke up today knowing AF was going to hit me and hit me hard she did. She came with revenge today and i had a pretty hard time of it dealing with the AF pain (was at work ).....
I know I wasn't pregnant for very long but it just hurts me to know that we were pregnant and didn't even have the chance to enjoy it, but i know that thats probably for the best that it was that way.....
I had pregnancy symptoms from very early on, and some people might say "don't test early because you may end up finding out something you didnt want to know re: chemical pregnancy" however I just KNEW I was pregnant so it was only normal for me to test with hpt to confirm it and i was right.
I just miscarried only 2hrs ago in the shower and i hadnt cried until just then. I felt bad because i hadnt cried at all today but to be honest, i was just numb from the whole experience... its all happened very fast. Reality hit me and it hurt me so much. I just started sobbing as I realised what was happening to me in the shower and as i saw things i've never seen before. It was extremely upsetting for me. You don't realise how much it's going to affect you until it happens. I just kept saying " i'm sorry, I'm sorry" because i feel like why couldn't i have kept it? i wanted this so very much then why couldnt we have this baby"? but i know its not our time yet....and i know its not our fault it happened either. just part of life...
I feel i have learnt so much in such a short amount of time this week and i feel i can draw from this sad experience, some positive things.... I now know that we can conceive again and that it is possible for us, and I know that there was nothing we could do to control this situation. And i hope i can give strength to others who read this that are going through the same thing (i know someone else on BB, who is going through this right now too with me) and that you can feel hopeful again after experiencing your loss.
I now have so much more respect and a greater understanding of miscarriages and i'm so sorry for anyone who has ever had one.
Thank you for reading my feelings.
