Hi guys! I am SO pleased to be joining this group!!
Five months ago, I experienced a devastating miscarriage at five weeks - What a nightmare! My very first pregnancy and I spent the entire two weeks that I knew in pure misery. I think I knew from the time that I got pregnant then that I was going to have issues, that I wasn't going tot have that baby. But I did everything that I could to hang on. I started bleeding two days after I found that I was pregnant, had two trips to the ER and three to the doctor's office, just to lose my unborn baby. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
Five months later (those five months were discouraging!) I am back to where I was, except NO BLEEDING! :) Thank goodness!! This time, although I don't feel that extreme sense of nervousness, I still feel a little bit like I'm having to walk on egg shells to save my baby. I should have started my period around the 12th, but it never came. I took a test the 12th (my hubs and I were actively trying to conceive) and then again on the 15th. - negative. However, on the 18th, I got a positive. Not a bold line, but not faint either. I went to the doctor today to have my test there, and still, not a bold line, but not faint either. I think I must have a weird cycle, where I either ovulate later than normal, or the implantation was later than would be expected. I go back Thursday morning to have more blood drawn and check to make sure my hCG levels are progressing normally.
As I don't feel as nervous as I expected to be about getting pregnant a second time, I'm still on edge until we get those hCG results.
