I've just experienced a loss at 5 weeks .
We had been trying for a while for a third and we were SO thrilled when I got a strong BFP at 14 days past ovulation . I continued to get strong bfps for that whole week .
Then at 5 weeks I started bleeding heavily. My home tests have turned negative and now I'm just waiting to have a blood test in a few days to confirm blood levels decreasing.
I have cried for the past 3 days . I can't stop thinking about how happy we were last week, how excited we were for everything that was to come .
We discussed how we would make a public announcement and looked up unique photo ideas to include our two boys. We had set up dates to take the pictures we even discussed names and had a girls name picked out.
We decided when to tell our boys the news and we were especially excited to tell my oldest son because he always mentions us having another baby.
We told our parents and close family and a few close friends the news and they shared in the excitement with us.
Now I sit here, still spotting as a reminder that its all gone now and I can't help but feel so deeply saddened.
I have gotten some insensitive remarks like "at least it was early " "it wasn't meant to be" etc .
Even though it was early it's still a loss and I feel I need to grieve not only the pregnancy but my excitement and the plans we had made .
It was all ripped away from us so quickly.
I hope I can feel better soon , I just wanted to share because I'm sure many others are going through similar experiences.
