Hi Ladies! Time for an update!
I've had 3 positive pregnancy tests done - 2 at docs office (last Tuesday Oct 14) and 1 at home (last Sat Oct 11).
Starting Tuesday night onto Thursday I had discharge of brown blood - spotting and light. Nurse said that was normal and that it was old blood coming out.
Friday morning I woke to a heavy brown discharge and some minor cramping. Late afternoon I had major cramping and along with the brown discharge I had some dark red.
So spent all of Friday night at the hospital due to cramping and more bleeding. Hospital Doc said my hCG levels were low and nothing showed on the ultrasound so I am to repeat a blood test tomorrow to compare hCG levels to that of Fridays and go from there.
Dr. Lee - whom I've been seeing about my fertility- will tell me everything this Tuesday at a follow-up. This was my 6th month on Clomid with one month on birth control in between.
Hopefully it's what the docs think: too early to see on the ultrasound and not a miscarriage. (even though a miscarriage is possible and likely)
Doesn't help that I have a nasty head cold...
So after telling my family that we have a little one on the way - looks like we need some prayers to make sure.

My last period was September 8th and have been charting my BBT everyday. Thus far my temps have stayed high between 36.85 to 37 C. Today is day 42 in this cycle.
I hope everything is okay.

Thanks Angel!
Dr. Lee said my hCG levels had dropped in half on my Mondays blood results compared to that from the hospitals results a few days earlier.
Bad news and Good news... He said We were pregnant though we miscarried, and we can look at starting all over again since we can get pregnant again.
Today (Wed) I have to go in for another hCG blood test to confirm the levels are dropping. I see Dr. Lee again Tomorrow (Thursday) for a follow-up and go from there.
My BBT has dropped almost back down to my normal temps before ovulation.
It's hard coping with the loss. At first I thought everything was going to be okay and pictured the baby growing healthy. It's just starting to sink in that I've lost this little miracle. I'm a mix of all feelings- sad, upset, angry, confused, acceptance ....
And on top of this all I have a nasty head cold. I feel awful.
I'm trying to keep positive but it's hard. I wanted this so bad - got it- now it's gone, just like that. I tell myself everything will be okay and that there's always next time nature will get it right - helps a bit- but, deep down inside I feel a random mix of all feelings- sad, upset, angry, confused, acceptance.
I needed to vent -

Oh Tessa, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Those feelings I am sure are perfectly normal, so don't feel guilty about feeling them. i'm sorry I can't help anymore as I haven't been through it. But know that we/I are/am here for you, so vent as much as you need/want. Take care of yourself and good luck with Dr Lee tomorrow. Lotsa love and hugs Lulu |

Sorry to hear of your loss Tessa. I do think it is a good thing to note though that you DID get pregnant. I was told I could not get pregnant. I miscarried the same way you did, very early ( I found out I was pregnant the same day I miscarried) Just keep trying. I have two girls now, 7 and 3 (almost 4) I know it is sooo hard to keep trying and then lose one just as you get one and my thought will be with you. |

Thank you for all of your kind words. It means a lot.
I saw Dr. Lee last Thursday and he said even though we had a loss we got pregnant and when I'm ready to try again I can start back up on the Clomid treatment since it is working for me.
However, I found out that I needed to get my Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine so I got it last Thursday as it is the start of a new cycle. After this cycle has ended I can start trying again since you're not suppose to get pregnant within 4 weeks after taking that vaccine.
In a way I'm glad I got that vaccine since for one it will protect me and my future pregnancies from measles, mumps, rubella; but mostly it will give me a month to cope with the loss and not stress about wanting to try again.
As time has passed and it's been just over a week now since the loss- I'm doing better. I can get back to my studies and concentrate more today compared to last week.
Thank you for all your kind words- it really means a lot!
*hugs*
