Hi everyone,
i just need to vent a little. My husband and I have been together for 6 years this August. But, We just got married in April. Last year, in September we surprisingly found out we were pregnant. On week 5, I had cramping/spotting and then my hcg levels were dropping. Then an inevitable miscarriage of course.... my first child and first miscarriage which was the worst both physically, mentally, & emotionally. We just started trying again. July 4th found out we were pregnant! Everything seemed to be going well, I only had light cramping which only lasted a few weeks. My hcg levels were rising however, my 1st ultrasound showed I was a lot earlier in my pregnancy(they said approx. 4 weeks and 6 days) than we originally thought. Just went to my 2nd ultrasound appt. today which showed I was only 5 weeks and 2 days. ( keep in my mind it has been a week and a half since my first ultrasound). They told me baby was not growing properly and they gave me options as to what I wanted to do next. I’ve been having constant nausea and also did another hcg test today (I find out the results tomorrow). If this truly is a miscarriage, I don’t know if I will be able to handle this emotion again and then try to be strong for my husband and myself to try again. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated! I am feeling like it’s all my fault and I just want to know why I am not able to get past a certain point with both these pregnancies. Thank you for letting me vent!
I had a natural miscarriage last September at week 8 and haven't been able to get pregnant since. I am starting the IVF process now. First night of giving myself shots start tonight! Eeeek....
XoXo,

My HCG levels came back after both of those bad news ultrasounds and the levels had doubled. The doctors and nurses were stumped so I went in for a repeat ultrasound again a week later and they officially diagnosed me with a molar pregnancy. Not sure if anyone knows what that may be but short definition it is a non-viable egg that overgrows into a tumor cell or mass of tumor cells and doesn't stop growing without removing. I had to get a D&C to remove the tumor and unfortunately I am not able to try again for another year due to the possibility of harming a future fetus. I also have to get monthly HCG levels drawn to make sure that NO tumor cells were left behind in my uterus. This has been by far the most difficult year for me, especially the last few months. And I feel all of your pain when you continue to try and try, only to be let down and discouraged. I found all this out beginning of August and for that first month I was in a horrible emotional state. Really what brought me out of it and helped me believe that everything would be okay was God and knowing that he has plan for my husband and I. I truly believe in his word and have made strives to make my life better emotionally, mentally, and physically. I trust that God knew it was not the right time again for my husband and I, and we can start up trying again next July-August. I am hoping and praying for success or answers to our prayers.
I wish each and everyone of you happiness and send lots of hope and prayers that you continue to believe in yourselves and believe in the power of God. I am so thankful to have found this blog, so that I can have support and be a supportive person for everyone that is struggling with similar issues. God Bless all of you and thank you for the kind words and support which is everything I needed during this difficult time!
