The Inevitable Miscarriage

I had a whirl wind of a day. After my ultrasound, I was immediately sent for blood work and an appointment with my Doctor (who squeezed me in). The ultrasound showed a collapsed sac with no embryo. (I should mention that my bleeding finally stopped on Sunday.) My blood work showed that the pregnancy hormone had decreased dramatically. The diagnosis: Miscarriage. I will have to have my blood checked in one month to make sure the pregnancy hormone goes back to zero. As for what's left, they think it will all come out in my next cycle (period). If I start having heavy bleeding that does not stop, I will need to go back in. Otherwise, I am to wait through two cycles before trying again. As for how I am doing emotionally, I'm doing all right. I have mentally prepared for this for a couple of weeks now. With how much I was bleeding, I knew it was inevitable. I am extremely thankful for my friends here for taking care of my kids and giving me big hugs and for the dinners last week. I really appreciate all my friends and family (near and far) and for all of your well wishes. I truly am blessed.
