I had a miscarriage on Tuesday. It wasn't totally unexpected. I had spotting last week that didn't stop after 2 days, so I went in and they did an ultrasound and measured the baby at 2-3mm (6 weeks) when I should have been 8W3D. There was still a heartbeat and they tried to make my feel better that maybe my dates were off, but we all know how obsessive we can be when TTC so I knew they weren't wrong. I had been preparing myself for the MC since then and at my follow up appointment this morning (which was supposed to be my first appointment at 9W3D) they confirmed an empty uterus.
I'm disappointed, of course, but looking forward to trying again and getting back to feeling myself. I've taken a few weeks off from working out, haven't been eating the greatest, so I'm ready to get back to it. I'm anticipating 4-6 weeks until my next period, and the doc said we are good to start trying again after that. I'm hopeful that it will happen fairly quickly. We got our BFP the first cycle using digital OPKs, so I'm hoping that will be the ticket again. But we will see.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish I wasn't here again but we don't get to write our own story.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
