My husband and I have been together for 9 years, married for almost 1, and decided last October to get off birth control. I found out in January that i was 5 weeks pregnant and we were ecstatic! I wanted to tell everyone right away because i was so excited, so we did. We got positive reactions from all of our friends and my family...the first thing his mother said was "im not going to get happy until the end of February when i know that baby is sticking, because you white girls have a tendency of throwing them out" ...i let it go and focused on US and being pregnant!
I was under a lot of stress because we recently lost our house, of 3 years, and the friend we were staying with has a girlfriend that is nothing short of being psycho. I tryed hard to remain calm and relax.
7 weeks, to the day, pregnant i woke up and just started bleeding. I went to the emergency room and got the news that, i knew in my heart, was inevitable. My horomone lvls were 156 at 7wks prego, when they should have been at LEAST 7,000! I spent the weekend crying about it. My husband and I handled it and once i saw the OB and we knew i didnt need the D&C we were relieved.
It has been a week since my miscarriage and although i still wish i was pregnant i am ok. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so i am not bitter or upset about loosing out right now. I feel like i grieved, in my own way, and am ready to move forward and focus on the now.
The Dr said to wait another week before we start "trying" again..but i am so anxious! Now, more than ever, i want to be pregnant and be a mom! Being a mom was not something i always dreamed about...but now i dont want anything more!
A friend of mine had a miscarriage a few months ago, and she was not as lucky as me to have a "smooth" one. We have a theory that the birth control played a part in it. We both have just been off it for a few months when we became pregnant. Then my Dr said that my ovaries are just waking up after being on BC for so long. I think my pregnancy was doomed from the beginning because the 3 home tests and the 1 clinic test i took the + line was barely there...which means my horomone lvls were always low! Maybe this miscarriage was just a "practice" for my body, being that it happened soo soon after stopping BC.
The only time i get semi-sad now is when my friends who are prego give me news. One friend just found out shes having a girl, another finds out the sex on the 21st, and another is almost ready to give birth to her 3rd baby (1st boy). I am so happy for them, but a little part of me hurts inside because they are prego still and everything is going great for them They have all been extremely supportive in our loss and soo considerate of my feelings. I want them to share with me, and i am happy for them...i just want to be going thru it as well!
I know some women take a while to grieve over loosing a baby, and it has forever changed me. I guess i am just lucky that it did happen early on, before any of the ultrasounds or anything like that.
I guess i dont have a question, just wanted to share my story with anyone who wants to read. :-) I feel like God put me thru this for a reason, and i know i am a stronger person because of it. All i know is that i will have my chance to be a mom, and i want that more than anything in life now!
Heres to hoping for another chance at motherhood, sooner rather than later...im a rather impatient person! :-)
