Hi. my name is Shannon. I am 29 years old and my DH is 36. We just found out last month that we were pregnant with our fist baby. I am pretty sure that we have never been so excited about anything in our lives. We went to the doctor, had our pregnancy confirmed and we told everyone, we just couldn't hold it in.
About a week and a half after our HPT was + I began spotting and just had a terrible feeling that something was wrong. I called the doctor after a day or so and she told me it was nothing to worry about and was completely normal. Being that this was my first pregnancy, I listened and tried to forget how off I felt. The spotting stopped after about 5 days and I was excited, but it didnt' last long. When the spotting returned I also felt a small amount of pressure in my lower stomach. I called the doctor again and this time was not as comfortable with the "it is normal and nothing to worry about" and went in for a scan and BOOM, no baby. I was supposed to be eight weeks and the sack measured about 5 and a half and there was no baby to be seen. HCG tests over the next few days showed low and increased a bit, but not nearly enough. Well, 2 days ago my spotting turned heavy and it appears that I am having an m/c.........
My doctor is sending me in for another scan, to ensure that there is no tissue left behind. I am really hoping that I do not need to go in for a D & C. This feels like the longest 2 weeks of my life and I really can't wait for this to be over. This has just floored me...........
