This is a cross-post from 1st trimester. I should have come here first, truth be told. If anyone understands how I feel, you guys will.
I went for my 2nd prenatal visit yesterday morning (I was supposed to be 8 weeks 4 days pregnant).
My Dr. could find no heartbeat and told me the baby measures 6 weeks 3 days.
My HCG levels yesterday were at 31,000 and according to my Dr. at a level for a 7 week pregnancy. She also told me my progesterone level is at 9.6 and should be at around 11. She is putting me on suppositories. Tomorrow is D-Day - I go to a specialist to get a dating and viability scan.
Although my doctor is being very positive and treating this as a viable pregnancy until tomorrow's scan says otherwise, my heart tells me this is it. I feel betrayed by my body. I woke up nauseous today and every day, my breasts continue to hurt and I have had no bleeding throughout this pregnancy.
People around me are being positive, however my dates are NOT wrong. I know when I had my last menstrual cycle and I know when I ovulated.
I just want to crawl into a hole and cry. My husband is remaining positive and feels we still have a chance. I feel we need a miracle and I don't have a good feeling. This feels like a cruel joke.
I'll get the news tomorrow on whether this is a blighted ovum or if the baby died at 6 weeks and then schedule a D & C. This is the hardest things I have ever gone through.
Reading your stories has been both heartbreaking and comforting. You are all very strong women and I hope I get through this with the courage and class you all have.
