More Days Gone Than Had

9:07 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
Today marks the day that our angel has been knowingly gone for us longer than we knew we had her. We knew we had her for four days, and today, she has been gone from us for five days. You might notice that I am calling our angel a "her". No, we didn't have any of the testing done to find out what the sex of the baby was, it just helps me by calling our angel a "her" and not an "it".

Some of my friends have asked if we opted for the testing to figure out what went wrong and my reply to this is no. We have learned, and such is the case with our OBGYN that they like you go through at least one more miscarriage before they test to see what is going on. Sounds lovely right? I wish that I would have been a little more coherent when everything was happening on Wednesday or I would have almost demanded that we have testing done. No woman or family should have to go through this more than once without knowing what happened.

Also, on the basis that I am adopted, all of the millions of questions they ask, "does this run in your family, does this, does this...." I have no answers for. I'm thinking about calling my doctor back in Texas this week and asking her opinion of what she thinks. She's am amazing family friend whom I love to death. I want to know if there are any test we should do, such as low progesterone, that we should do before we try again in March.

Through The Bump pregnancy loss board I have read several stories that ladies had multiple pregnancy losses and all they did was take progesterone and they went on the have a healthy pregnancy. I know I may be jumping the gun since it is very possible that we could get pregnant again and have a perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby, I'm just trying to rule out the chances of having to go through this again.

Well enough about that, I have to make it to the grocery store and beat the church crowd. It's been two weeks since I went and we are out of things in the freezer.

Have a great day.
