As a follow-up to my last post and to say it simply, I did receive a miracle... Kim and I learned we were pregnant on July 26. We were so overjoyed and ecstatic! I had an appointment when I was four weeks. Today marks 8 weeks. For the past several weeks, I've experienced pregnancy at it's finest... heartburn, bloating, nauseau at night, etc. It's been absolutely amazing praising God for this unbelieveable miracle. Just think one month before I got pregnant my progesterone was 1.4, then 12~ God is good!
On a much more sad note... I went in today for my sono to make sure things were progressing well, and learned I'm no longer pregnant. I had a blighted ovum, a.k.a. early pregnancy loss. Basically, we conceived, and the fertilized egg attached to the uterus wall as was supposed to. However, the fertilized egg didn't create a baby. This can happen for a number of reasons - bad eggs or chromosome issues. So, we're emotionally going through the pits today. This doesn't increase changes of it happening again, although it could as with anyone. I read today that about 50% of miscarriages are caused by this. I'm just thankful we learned this early and I didn't lose a baby... but I did lose a pregnancy. So, I have a D&C scheduled on Tuesday, b/c my uterus was working well and had a placenta and all - just no baby. Tuesday will be a rough day, but my close friends and family will get me through it.
Right now, I'm sad, frustrated, joyful knowing my body works and hopeful we can have a healthy baby someday.
