Positive pregnancy test..

 Hugs to you, many of them.  It's not an easy thing to go through, I know.  My DIL knows.  But you did good by seeing a doc.  More hugs...

I absolutely SHOULD have had a D&C and yes, the fact that I became so ill, makes it pretty clear that the doc kind of screwed up.  My point ottoluv was that docs don't ALWAYS order a D&C, which is why I mentioned my niece, and that I thought that perhaps things had changed in the past several years.  I absolutely was NOT saying that red didn't need one.  And in fact red, I would suggest that you contact your own ob/gyn just to be safe, after you have the next blood test done.  Unless you actually had an OB in the ER, I'd want to get the opinion of a doc who specializes in that area. 

And thank you for your sympathy.  It's been enough years ago that I long ago accepted that she wasn't meant to live in this world, and that someday, I'll be reunited with her.  If your little life was meant to be now, then he or she will happen.  And if you have miscarried, I'm so very sorry.  It does seem that following a miscarriage some women are more fertile, so you might want to be extra careful......I don't know if that's a medical fact or not.  And if you need to talk, I'm a PM away.

Awwwwwwww, hon, I'm so very sorry you're going through this.  (lots of hugs)) to you & Shane.  I hope TJ, Pedro & Chico are helping to take care of you.  Small dogs can make GREAT heating pads.  You've had many offers but I'll add mine, if you need to vent or just talk, my PM is open to you.  Take care of yourself.

I'm sorry you had to got through this.  It's sounds like a terrible experience.  Take care, I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you all so much. I can't seem to say that enough.

Glenmar -- I did have an OB/GYN doctor in the room. Actually, I had about 4 doctors, including him that was checking me out and explaining things to me. He was very caring and explained every little detail to me. Although I felt very cared for, I think that [[by far]] was the scariest day of my life. The OB/GYN doctor was actually the one who told me that from his own honest opinion, he felt as though I'd already had the miscarriage. I think that's why I believe it's so likely that I did too, ..well, that and the fact that all of those huge blood clots that I was passing, were not normal. (Even more so with the extreme amount of pain I had along with them)

Tomorrow when I go to have my blood work done again, he will be the one looking through everything to see what's going on. That makes me feel better too, knowing that someone who really knows what they are doing, will be going through and double checking everything, to let me know what is/was going on. I think I already know what's happened though. When I was getting my sonogram done and I didn't see anything, my heart already broke a little then. I suppose this happened for a reason though, and although I may never know what it is, God knows and he's who made it happen, and he's always right. 

I can't even imagine what this must be like for you.  I do feel bad for you right now, but I also can't help admiring your strength and courage at such a hard time.

I am so so sorry.  My PM is ALSO open.  

Darn it.  I'm sorry.  I know how hard it is to let go but I admire your positive attitude.  Hang on to that...it'll get you through this.

The only caution I'm going to add is that if you have continued discomfort, if you start running a fever, etc, get yourself to a doctor ASAP.  It scares me when they don't suggest a D&C after my own experience.  And do be sure to ask if you are a little extra fertile following a miscarriage.

I went in at 8:30 this morning to get blood taken. They said they would know somthing 2 hours later. A few minutes ago I got a call saying they haven't got my results yet, but they want me to come in again at 2:00 so they can check my iron. Does anyone know if this relates to what's going on, and if so ..how/why? Thanks.

I'm sorry you had to go through all that. What a scary situation. Just focus now on taking it easy and healing up.

About the iron - maybe they're concerned about blood loss? Just my very uneducated guess. I hope everything comes back ok. 

I *think* that a lot of bleeding could cause anemia?  Maybe?

Well, I went again and got things checked out. My iron is completely fine. On the other hand, my hCG level was around 400, which means I've already lost the baby.

I have to go back once a week until it's 0, the OB/GYN doctor just wants to make sure I don't get an infection. He says if it all of a sudden goes back up or doesn't go down, that usually means there's an infection but it's very rare.

I'm very sorry about the miscarriage (to you, and to all others who have had to go through it). It sounds like you're pulling through okay, or at least you're doing a great job of faking it! Hang in there and stay strong, I hope you're feeling better soon. 

I'm so sorry.  I hope you can accept that this wasn't the right time.  Accepting that won't make you less sad, but at least it gives you a little something to hold on to.  The right time WILL come.

Hugs

((Hugs)) from FL. I know you've gotten a TON of offers, but PM me if you want to talk.

 I'm sorry to hear about the conclusion.  I miscarried a set of twins 3 summers ago.  It was an unplanned pregnancy too, but I felt it like I'd been trying for years to concieve.  So I'll add my offer of an open PM box to the others here.  Take care of you.
