My husband and I have been TTC for 9 months. I know many have been trying for longer, but when we finally conceived, we were beyond thrilled for this miracle. Earlier this week, I started spotting. It was brown, but there was more there than I felt there should be. It happened for a short time two days in a row. Next we went to see our doctor for our first OB appointment. He helped us stay optimistic, but really, I wasn't thinking of a miscarriage. I know brown spotting can be considered normal. He was able to squeeze me in for a dating u/s today, first thing in the morning. When I woke up, I went to the bathroom, and when I wiped, that's when I saw the red blood. My heart sank. I took a shower, waited a bit and checked again. Still there. We went to the u/s and discovered we had lost the baby. I've never been so devastated. I'm scheduled for a D&C tomorrow afternoon. Why doesn't anybody talk about the pain during a miscarriage? The cramps are agonizing. A million times worse than my regular period cramps. It's a constant reminder.
