HI everyone
Glad to have found this thread. I went for an ultrasound yesterday and found out that I had miscarried. I believe this happened between Sunday 10th and Thursday 14th. I'd had an ultrasound on the Thursday as I believed I was pregnant - I hadn't had any positive tests and the Drs thought I was crazy. Turned out at the 1st scan that it looked as if I was 5 weeks pregnant. Scan yesterday showed no progression and that he thinks I had a miscarriage. I had passed a very strange looking clot on Sunday 10th when I started bleeding which looked like a sac to me - was greyish (sorry if TMI). I kept it as you do. I am glad I did as I am going to bury it today. Regardless of whether it was the baby or not it has symbolic meaning for me.
Anyway, I feel that this failed pregnancy has been a blessing in disguise - it was not planned but it has made my husband realise that he wants to start trying for a baby asap. It has also given me a reason to reduce my antipsychotic medication and I am nearly off of these nasty pills now and feel great (to my amazement). I almost feel evil for wanting to start as soon as possible, it seems disrespectful. This is why I am so happy to have found this thread. I feel right now that everything happens for a reason. If/when I do get pregnant I am going to embrace every minute, I just hope this time I will see two lines on a test instead of being confused for a couple of months. I suppose also the fact that it never showed up positive must have meant that the hcg levels were dangerously low and meant it would never be viable.
I hope everyone is doing well and I just wanted to share my story and say hello
