I lost this baby
October 06, 2008
I just got back from the Dr. and he saw a tiny sack (At first he couldn't even find my uturus!!!). He said its no where near where it should be. He is sending me tomorrow for a "mega" ultrasound and they will know more than. He is concerned that there could be on in my tubes as well. He also did another HCG test. After my u/s tomorrow we are going to sit down and talk about my options and they will probably be to have a D&C sometime this week.
I am so so so sad - but at the same time I am glad that this nightmare is coming to an end. It has been 6 weeks of torture.
I think he is going to send us to Mayo clinic in rochester next to talk to an RE about recurrent miscarriages. I hope they will be able to determine why I can't carry a baby:(

Holly--I'm so sorry for your loss! I hope they find answers soon! Lisa and Holly...I'm in MN too...Hutchinson. It's good to know some MN people. The RE I went to was Dr. Hegaard at OBGYN West. I really liked him. We're doing ivf through RMIA in Woodbury. Where are you going? Good luck with everything!
Lara, I am originally from Hutchinson!! Graduated form there and everything:) Small world. Where is OBGYN West? IS that in Woodbury??? We have never been to an RE but I am really really hoping to go to one soon. Is it usually a long wait to get into to see an RE??? I would love to get in as soon as over MEA break. I dont know if that is possible, but I would like to try to figure out thinks quickly.
Im so sorry holly. I know what you mean, totally, about being sad but also knowing that it is over and you can try to move on with a clearer head. I went thru the same thing a few months back. At my 6 week u/s no HB or fetal pole but a sac then 2 weeks later nothing, no HB or pole or baby anymore. My levels did the same things your did, up and then not as far as they should have been. Every day felt like 100 days and at the last u/s I couldnt bear to look at my DH’s face - he was so devastated.
They gave me the option of the pills that they insert up there and force the m/c. Its honestly over in hours and then a regular period. It causes your uterus to contract and empty out the uterus. It was painful physically but much more emotionally. It took me 2 weeks to be able to do that.
I talked to them about a D&C and cuz my levels never got real high and the sac stopped growing early he said it was better to go with the pills.
Im soooo sorry for all of this, that was my 2nd m/c and it wasnt any easier than the 1st. I hope you and your DH can find some time to be 2gether and console - my DH hid for weeks and we didnt talk much at all, it nearly broke us.

No way Holly!!!! When did you graduate? What is your maiden name...if I may ask? I've been teaching middle school choir here for 10 years! Did you have Mrs. Jordahl for art? She's one of my best friends!
OBGYN West has 2 offices. One is right off of 212 in Eden Prairie and the other one is near Ridgedale shopping center. I got in right away, but make sure your own doctor refers you. Our dr. even called and set up the appt. for us. I really liked Dr. Hegaard and would recommend him. They are brand new clinics too. We did a lot of driving back and forth for ultrasounds, etc. but it wasn't too bad....probably about the same as from Faribault.
Good luck!

Hi Lara - I graduated in 1998. I had Mrs Jordahl for Middle school consumer science I think - maybe Art - I dont remember:( Maiden name is Ress. My parents still live there. My mom owns an Antique store. Its like 5 blocks E of Pizza hut?? Its only open once a month.
I am talking to my dr. today at 2 to get the results of yesterdays HCG test and the results of my u/s that they are doing at 12:30 today. I am going to see if he can refer me to someone ASAP. I would LOVE to do it over MEA as I too am a middle school teacher and would LOVE to be able to not miss more school. I am already missing almost this whole week:(
Oh, you probably have Ben and Matthew Sandeen - they are my parent's god children. I used to babysit for them:) Sweet boys.

Well my HCG went up to 821. It should be in the 10,000s. I have a D&C scheduled for Friday:( I am scared. I have never had surgery before. I did another blood test and will get those results tomorrow - if for some reason they shoot up, then we will wait on the D&C. They did the u/s and it showed a sac measuring 4 wks 2 days. I SHOULD be 6 wks 3 days. It isn't a viable pregnancy according to my dr but he doesn't want to take any chances, so he wants to be sure it isn't viable. I am so sad :( But I also want to move on. We have an appt with an RE on Nov 10th. Just one month away. Hopefully they will be able to help us figure out why we keep miscarrying. This is 2 miscarriages in 2.5 months. :(
Holly..........*HUGS*
I had a D&C in 1992, when I miscarried. If you have questions...I'm more than happy to answer what I recall.
I am sorry that the Dr feels this isn't a viable pregnancy and when you go to your RE...I wish you the best to find out WHY you have m/c'd twice in 2.5 months.
I had a m/c in June this year, too.
Thoughts and prayers ARE with you!!!!
