Saying Goodbye

So soon after saying Hello, I have to say goodbye.

Had U/s today and there was no longer any heartbeat.  The report says fetal demise at 6 weeks and 5 days.  This is my
3rd miscarriage in a row.    Waiting to see what my Obe says.  Whether I wait and see if I miscarry, or whether we do D&C.  I would prefer to miscarry naturally - but I don't want to wait forever for this to happen.

Am sad but philosophical.  What will be will be.  I want a healthy baby!

I will be trying again (I seem to get pregnant pretty easily) and hope that the next one will be the one.  

I am grateful everyday that I have my daughter!

I'm sorry for your losses.  I know what it's like too as my first 2 were losses: miscarriage early around 7 weeks, then stillborn at 5.5 months pregnant, now a healthy 15 month old, now a miscarriage around 6 - 7 weeks...

After insisting on the testing for blood clotting disorders, they found that yes I do have the disorder.  I have what they call "Factor V Leiden" the heterozygous form which is the least of the two.  The other one is homozygous this means you have 2 genes that clot.  With the hetero it is only one clotting gene.  So after all this, after they found out I had this disorder, during my pregnancy they told me to take a baby aspirin daily and then I had a beautiful healthy baby boy.  I truly believe that this was the problem the first 2 times around.  I started taking the baby aspirins as soon as I found out that I was pregnant, but who knows maybe it wasn't early enough?  I guess I'll never know... but I am so happy that I insisted on getting the test for the blood clotting disorders.  I read a book (can't remember the name) but this is what inspired me to do so as the lady in the book kept having loses too.  So I am happy to know that you will get your blood work done.  

Please keep me posted. I wish you the very best. Your little angel baby will come.  I'll send out some angel baby dust....   : )

Last Friday I saw my obe and she gave me misoprostone (a prostaglandin inhibitor) vaginally to induce the miscarriage.  i miscarried on Friday night with relatively little pain (took pain meds) and bleeding.  Slight spotting and cramping still.  I am so glad it is over now.  Unlike last time, where we decided to wait and it took 6 weeks to start to miscarry and I ended up with a D&C.

I'll see my Obe this Friday and she'll order a full panel for blood clotting disorders, which are now suspect as I have had 3 consecutive miscarriages.

I am so hoping the tests turn up something treatable!  I will try again as soon as I get the go ahead.
