Looks like I'm back....
We found out the awful news today at our second ultrasound that I had a missed miscarriage. I was supposed to be 9w2d today but baby stopped growing at 8w4d. No heartbeat. It completely shattered my heart. I don't even know how to react. We were both in shock. They gave me the options of waiting for my body to take care of it naturally within the next two weeks, to take a pill that will make it all happen in one or two days or a procedure where they numb my uterus and go in and remove everything and I would only lightly spot afterward. I chose the procedure which will happen next Tuesday because I couldn't handle seeing myself miscarry. It would just make my heart so much heavier to see it while it happens. I'm so up and down about it. We will be taking a few days off work to kind of take it all on and settle with it. It was most likely just a genetic or chromosome problem with the baby so I take comfort that it was nothing I did and that our bodies are amazing enough to take care of something that would have led to a baby with extreme health problems. Make it no easier but it's good to know. And we can start trying again as soon as we want... And at least I know we can get pregnant.
