Pregnancy Info HOME

I am delighted to have found this sight. I have been truly inspired by all of the wonderful stories. But for those that ended sadly, I feel your pain. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for about 2 years now, and we've had one miss. But in RE to the above entries this is my story: Well, it was time for my menstrual cycle and I was cramping as usual, yet I realize I am 4-5 days late. So I get anxious hoping for pegnancy, drive to the store and buy a pg test, the test read negative at first then after 20 minutes or more, I look at it and it is positive, (2 lines), imagine how I was feeling, because I thought I the results were invalid, I bought another test one day later. SAME THING happens. OK time to call the Dr. and he suggest I go in for a bloodwork. Well guess what, the test is positive and I am pregnant. My husband and I are jumping for joy, with PROMETRIUM in my medicine cabinet, (just keep reading you'll know why the progesterone in a moment.) Then, only 2-3 hours later crying my heart out: I am spotting, I am cramping, my hcg level is 20, my progesterone level is ONE (1), and I am SCARED, don't know what to do. So I wait, because that's what I am told to do (you all know what that is like, right?) But when the bleeding comes, I call the doctor back and he says that with these harmone levels I have what is called a Chemical Pregnancy which is a fertilized egg that attaches itself to the uterus but with no embryo (in other words no BABY only pieces of tissue.) The doc informed me that I would resume a regular menstrual cycle soon and needed no D&C because of the type of pregancy. More bloodwork on Monday for finality, then we'll start from scratch again. I have an existing condition of Endometriosis, not sure if it had anything to do with my harmone levels. Please do not click off on this as "Poor Taste", instead see it as being My story. I felt the need to share it. It may answer someones questions. Again I think that all your stories are of value, for we need support from each other. I wish the best for everyone, I'll let you know how things turn out on Monday.
