Waiting to Miscarry...

My husband and I have been on a crazy emotional ride. We found out very early that we were pregnant, had an appointment at what I thought would be 8 weeks. Ultrasound measured at 5 weeks 6 days and showed a faint heartbeat. Had bloodwork done at new dating of 6 weeks 6 days and hcg results of 33,000. Thought this was a good sign, gave us false hope as results 5 days later only went up to 33,589. On Thursday we had another ultrasound done in the hospital and there was no baby, only a sac measuring 7 weeks at what should have been over 8 weeks. The only thing they can think is my body just absorbed the baby.

I have had no bleeding or cramping at all. It's so confusing. I don't really understand all of this, it's so new to me.

My doctor is giving me about a week to miscarry naturally, but if I don't I have to go in for a D&C. According to my LMP I should be around 11 weeks now, but I would only be about 9 weeks according to my first ultrasound. So I don't really know where I am or what my body is doing.

I am so incredibly thankful to have my 2 year old daughter to help keep me distract me, but part of me feels like I am not able to fully mourn the precious child I have lost.

Please just pray for me if that's what you do, or just send me positive thoughts as I wait and wonder over the next week or so...
