We will heal from this

Hi all!

I'm Taylor and my fiance and I started trying for our first child together in May. I have a 3 year old daughter from a previous relationship, and have been separated from him for almost 2 years. My fiance proposed on July 9th and he and I just celebrated our one year anniversary on August 28th.

My last period was July 22, and 2 weeks after we decided to go back on birth control while we plan and save for the wedding.

Well, apparently the universe had other plans, and on September 4th I woke up and felt off. I had been feeling "different" for the past 3 weeks but figured it was the new birth control I was trying.

I Decided to take my last test I had left from trying in the months prior, and before the control line even showed up, the test line was there.

I'd be lying if I said I was instantly happy. I had my heart set on waiting to expand the family, and I had just become "okay" with our decision. I was so excited to plan for our Friday oct 13th 2023 wedding, and now I'm scared I'll have to push it out so we can plan for this little life.

On the 5th, I started having small spotting, and front and center cramps, and on the 6th, yesterday, the spotting turned significantly heavier, more than a usual period. Of course I panicked and we went to the OB.

They drew blood and I go back tomorrow to have another sample taken so they can compare the levels, so we can learn more, as the sac that we saw on the ultrasound was completely empty. I should be roughly 6 weeks along right now, but I didn't get an ultrasound for my daughter until 8 weeks, so I'm not sure what I expected.

I mostly just wanted a safe place to talk and voice my concerns, so please go easy on me. I am excited for the new baby, but I'm scared and a little sad at the sudden and unexpected change of plans.

Thanks for reading. I appreciate any tips or insights from you all.
