Journal entry after the miscarriage.

 
January 4th, 1999 - Post Miscarriage

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who signed my guest book. Your thoughts and prayers are very appreciated and helped me get through a very difficult time.

Here's my update. I had my doctor's appointment on December 23rd. The doctor did another vaginal ultrasound and determined that I definitely had a miscarriage. He sent me to the lab to get my hormone levels checked again - they were down to 12 (from 1197 a week before). He said that was good because it indicated that my body had taken care of the miscarriage all by itself and there was nothing else that needed to be done. I've already stopped spotting so everything is back to "normal".

I am very sad that I had a miscarriage but I do believe that it wasn't meant to be for some reason that only God knows. I am grateful that it happened early in the pregnancy and before we told a lot of people. I would like to to get pregnant again as soon as possible. My doctor said I didn't have to wait - whenever I ovulate next I can try again. I am hoping that something good will come from the miscarriage and that it might help my body become prepared to carry the next pregnancy to full term.

I will continue to write my journal because my pregnancy journey is still beginning. I read everyone else's journal to give me hope and reassurance that there are others trying to have a baby too and that someday (hopefully soon) when it's right it will happen for my husband and I too.
