We lost the baby today at 11.5 weeks. I think I am still somewhat shocked at the news. I really honestly believed this would be "it" but I guess I shouldn't have been so naive to believe that it was that easy. Can you believe I actually bought maternity clothes this weekend? I think it totally jinxed me.
I woke up this morning and went pee as usual but when I wiped, I noticed a pink spot. So, I did what any woman suffering from infertility and past lost would do - I shoved my finger up inside my vajayjay. When I pulled it out, it was covered in red. Not brown but bright red. I already knew what was happening but tried to stay calm. I called out sick from work (they still don't know about the pregnancy) and called DH to take me to the ER.
After a pretty short wait, we did some bloodwork and went for the ultrasound. Sure enough, there was no fetal heartbeat.
A part of me wants to say that I knew all along this wouldn't last but the other part really believed I was going to make it. I was THIS close to the second trimester. I just don't understand. We SAW a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks. And now, nothing. And my HCG is dropping too. Why can't my body sustain a pregnancy? What is wrong with me? I am 24 and should be at the peak of my fertility. Instead, I am thrust back into the world of temping and AF and ovulation sticks and BD scheduling and Clomid. It just seems too overwhelming for me right now.
I am taking my time to grieve and will be back as soon as I can. DH is taking it harder than me I think, which makes it worse on me in turn. I just don't know what to do. I have no plan at the moment and I'm once again terrified that we will never have a child of our own.
Goodbye, my sweet angel. You were too beautiful for earth, so fly, fly amongst the others. You will be safe and sound with angel #1 to keep watch after you. We will never forget the time we shared with you - they were the happiest days of our lives. We will see you when we reach the gates of heaven.
Love, "Mommy and Daddy"
