In May my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our first child. We were over the moon!!! My husband had been diagnosed with testicular cancer in March and had a testicle removed and went through chemo. We were told that there was a possibility we wouldn’t be able to have children after he took treatment. At 6 weeks, I started spotting. I was so worried but tried to keep positive because it’s normal early on. At my 8 week appointment, our baby was only measuring 6 weeks and the heart beat was slow but normal for 6 weeks. My OB said everything was normal and not to worry about my previous HCG levels. She said that my last period date must had been wrong and I was 6 weeks. Something didn’t not seem right to me, I had a feeling that something was wrong. I expressed my concerns to her and she passed them off as being illegitimate. Two days later, I started bleeding brown with mild cramps. I started preparing myself for the worse. That evening, I when to the restroom and there was the bright red blood with the clots. I knew what was going on. I passed clots and cramped severely for two hours, then it stopped. During that time I went to the hospital and they could not find the baby or a heartbeat, confirmed my worst fear. Nothing could prepare me for the doctor telling me that my baby had not made it. Three days later, I’m still bleeding and cramping. I hope the physical pain ends soon. I don’t think I can endure the physical or emotional pain at work tomorrow.
