End of the Road...

[lyssac]

I'm eleven weeks pregnant today, except that I'm not. I went into the ER tonight. It was trivial, really. I haven't been feeling well, been crampy, and today I had a lot of discharge with some blood in it, so DH wanted me to go in, and I didn't argue too hard.

My HCG is still high, but not as high as it would be for 11 weeks. The baby is measuring 7-8 weeks, and there was no fetal heart tones. It is unlikely that this is just a case of mistaken dates with that large of a margin, especially since four weeks ago, I had a six week fetus with heart beat.

I have to call on Monday for a follow-up appointment with an OB, where they may repeat the u/s, but it looks like this is the end.

It's just like last time - my increased "morning sickness" was really a sign that my pregnancy was failing, not thriving, that small percent that you hear of losing the baby after a heart beat is detected - once again, that's me. I'm 0-4 and really not happy about it. I don't know how to do this again. I don't know how to keep doing it. I don't want to give up my dream, but I guess it's really not meant to be.

I haven't called my family, yet, and to be honest, I am really not ready to. I'm so tired.

Oh, no. :( I'm so, so sorry, Lyssa. That doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it better, but I truly am. I wanted this for you so much, because I know how much you wanted it.

*hugs* I will keep you in my prayers and hope that if there's any way everything can be all right that it will be.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Lyssa. It's so very sad. I'll be thinking about you. I hope that one day everything will come out right for you.

*Hugs*
