H and I found out this past Sunday that we were pregnant. We were so thrilled but I was concerned because I was spotting and didn't have any bleeding when pregnant with my son. I scheduled an appointment Monday to make sure everything was ok. It had been 6 weeks since my last period, but I just got off the pill and I was never regular before getting on them 15 years ago. I didn't think I was that far along (maybe 4 weeks) so when they did a sonogram and didn't find a gestational sac it didn't worry me too much. They took blood to check my HCG levels and did one 48 hours later to see if it went up. Before I got the results back I began cramping and bleeding. We found out yesterday that I am miscarrying. I am completely devistated to say the least!!! We didn't tell any family or friends about us being pregnant because I had a gut feeling that something wasn't right so we probably won't tell them about the loss either. H has been really supportive and helping out more with our son while I recover, but I just had to get this off my chest and tell my "other" family so I can move on. I believe everything happens for a reason and it just wasn't meant to be this time. We are planning on trying again as soon as possible. Thanks for listening!

I went thru this too, before I got pregnant with my 1st son. When they did an ultrasound, they saw the sac but no fetus ever formed inside of it, so that helped me deal with it. I was able to tell myself the fetus didn't really die, it just never formed. Either way its hard to get your hopes up & then be let down. Good luck the next time you try!

I went through the same thing 4 years ago. Take all the time you need to recover, cry when you need to, and take care of you. Hugs!
