Miscarriage
Sorry...this is a long one and I wanted to get it out to get advise or possibly talk to someone who’s had a similar situation. My husband and I were trying for a baby for 5 years. We were at the point of setting up appointment with the fertility clinic to look at our options. Both him and I have had multiple tests are completely healthy. That’s what was most frustrating. We time everything, check ovulation, do everything possible. Weeks leading up to our appointment we stopped monitoring because we knew we were going to the clinic. The week before our appointment at the clinic, I found out I was pregnant! We were shocked! So many emotions. Excitement, fear, tears of joy. Best day of my life when I saw those 2 lines. I was feeling really good other than being really tired and sore breasts. We had waited so long and knew this was our time. Fast forward 4 weeks later....I started getting lower back pain one night. It gradually got worse throughout the night. When I woke up in the morning I had dull cramps almost like light period cramp. The cramps increasingly got worse in a very short period of time. Within an hour they were so bad I had troubles walking. When I went to the bathroom I couldn’t believe what was coming out of me. I can’t get that image out of my head. I called my doctor and he said he’s certain I’m having a miscarriage. If I’m in excruciating pain to go to the hospital. I wish I would have listened. My husband was in a work meeting and I couldn’t get ahold of him for several hours. I was in so much pain and didn’t know what to do. I sat in the bathtub with the shower water running on me for 2 hours. There was so much blood and tissue coming out of me. I was contracting every 5 minutes for several hours. This went on for about 3 days. When my husband got home we cried and hugged for hours. But all I could focus on was the pain. The pain did get better after a few days but I continued to bleed heavily for an entire week. I was a different person for several weeks after. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I was extremely depressed. This week I’m finally starting to feel like myself again. I still have sad moments but it’s getting a little better each day. I got a call from my doctor today saying that all my levels are back to normal again and we can start trying again at any time. I’m looking for thoughts on this. Is it too soon? do I need more time to heal? I haven’t even had a period. So I need to wait for my period before trying again? Or can I try now? I’ve googled a couple things and couldn’t find a definitive answer. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? Looking for advise or similar experiences so that I don’t think I’m going crazy. Thank you for reading.
