Miscarriage is hard
I only found out last Tuesday July 10 that I was pregnant I was so excited! Tuesday July 17 I woke up with blood on my sheet dizzy and back pain. I’ve had minor cramps here and there during the week but nothing crazy. Well they tested my HCG levels and they were only 157. I was estimated to be 5 weeks and the PA told me it should be in the 10,000. They did a transvaginal ultrasound and of course I was too early to even see anything. The PA told me to go and get my HCG rechecked 3 days later so I did it at 630 am Friday morning. I called my OB to find out the results but they don’t have the same system as where I got the lab work (which I thought they did.) My OB scheduled me for an appt Monday to follow up anyways. Well I work in the hospital system and found out my HCG level went down to 78 (I couldn’t wait all weekend.) This is my first miscarriage and it’s very hard emotionally physically I’m ok. I had 2 healthy pregnancies my boys are 11 & 8. I know there was nothing I could do to prevent this. I just feel heartbroken and so empty. My husband doesn’t want to try again which it makes it so much more heartbreaking. I’m getting better but it still really just sucks.
