Well in September 2008 my hubs & I decided to TTC baby #4 I usually get pregnant very quickly but we didn't get a BFP til December 4 2008 when I realized I was 4 days late. So we told everyone cuz I had 3 normal healthy pregnancies with our sons & didn't think this pregnancy would be any different. Well on December 13 I went to the bathroom & when I wiped there was blood so I freaked out & called my hubby in & we called the Dr. who told me that IF it was a miscarriage it would be over in a couple hours with heavy bleeding & cramping so I waited for this heavy bleeding which didn't come & the cramps were no more than like a menstrual cycle so I went to bed & when I got up in the middle of the night the bleeding was very light & the cramps had stopped.
so on that monday December 15th I went to have my HCG levels checked & they were 10,000 so they were good on December 16th I went for an U/S & to our wonderful surprise the baby had a heartbeat so we thought that everything would be fine I went home & was on bed rest well I started to have more cramping & bleeding so on December 17th I had my HCG levels checked again but this time they were only 9,000, they went down which I knew that wasn't good so on December 18th 2008 we went for a second ultrasound & found that the baby no longer had a heartbeat,we were devastated, well that night I had severe cramping & really heavy bleeding & the next day when I woke up the bleeding had pretty much stopped so when I went to the Dr. to have my D&C done I told her I was no longer bleeding so she decided to just give me cytotec which would help get rid of any tissue that was left well when I left the Dr. office on the 19th I went straight to the hospital cuz my leg was very swollen & painful & what we found out was I have a huge blood clot in my left leg & since there really is no reason for me to get clots like that they are thinking that I have a blood disorder that causes clotting & that may have been the reason I miscarried but they have to do further test to find out....
So I was almost 7 weeks pregnant when we lost the baby & even though it wasn't there very long we loved it just the same as our other children so it has been very hard on us cuz I went from worrying about the baby to worrying about my leg so we didn't really have time to grieve so it hits us once in a while & we'll cry together & it helps
