Pregnancy Info HOME

I feel like I should put my update on this website for others to see. I feel like I could probably write a book about having a miscarriage. I had so many questions. I went back to my doctor for another ultrasound a week later and it was still just the empty sac and she said that it measured 6 weeks. Well she could not answer any of my questions like why am I not bleeding, why have I not had any signs of a miscarriage, do I need to have a D&C, and just WHY. Well finally my husband calmed my nerves and just said that the answer was not for us to know and that God was going to handle everything and he has. During this process I became VERY frustrated with my doctor and I changed doctors which made me feel a lot better. My new doctor told me that my HCG levels had to drop to a certain point before you started bleeding or anything but there was not a magic number it is different for everyone. She sent me for another ultrasound and it showed the same thing, just an empty sac. This was on May 1st, on the way home from the doctor I started bleeding, just very light and old blood. Today makes 3 weeks that I have been bleeding. I passed the sac and lots of clots on Mother’s Day weekend. It was a lot more than what I was thinking it was going to be. It was very heavy and I was in MAJOR pain. Thankfully I was with my mother that day so she really helped me through it and came and stayed with me and my husband that night because I was very weak. The doctor had told me that it would be a heavy period and it was a lot more than that. I have continued to have my HCG levels checked weekly to make sure they drop completely. I am ok with the outcome because I know that it is all in God’s hands and that it will happen when HE wants it to. A lot more people than you realize has had a miscarriage and they can be your best support to help you get through this rough time in your life. But most importantly don’t forget your greatest support of all, the man upstairs.
