One week ago we took 3 home pregnancy tests and got 3 positive results. The doctors agreed we were pregnant. It was the best seven days of our lives and now this morning (Monday) things weren't right when HD woke up. We went to the ER.....They poked and prodded and did what they do. The took blood and tested for the pregnancy hormone, at five weeks she should have been over 1000, the result was 27. HD goes back in on Wednesday to run the blood work again to confirm that the hormone level is decreasing and that we had a miscarriage. At home we took another test and this time it came back negative.
We really didn't want to tell people about our pregnancy since it was so early on but this past weekend was Western Days in Chatfield and it would have been impossible to hide all the tell-tale signs such as not drinking, being overly cautious on food choices etc.....Personally I don't like the idea of telling people until you have seen that first ultrasound with your own two eyes.
This sucks, we know you are all sorry. HD has begged that nobody calls/contacts her with the "I just heard you pregnant, I'm so excited" so we need your help to spread the gloomy news.
Thank you for you thoughts, kind words etc...
Pat - I've been there. It is a sad and confusing time. You grieve for what might have been and you both will grieve differently. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
