Update: Not a happy ending
Sorry for the double post....I know many of my old E friends are over here now.
I posted about a month ago that I found out I was pregnant on 10/10/10. I was told pretty quickly that there were signs with my bloodwork that the pregnancy was not viable. They suspected a tubal pregnancy, and wanted to give me a chemo shot to end it. I felt no pain or symptoms and refused the shot. They kept following up and finally saw that the pregnancy was in my uterus, but the ultrasound could not see the baby. They had minimal hope that things were ok but I could not end it without a 100% answer. So I have been living in limbo for over a month, unsure of whether to be happy or sad.
This week I started spotting and cramping. It got a little worse yesterday and I was put on bed rest. Last night I woke up at 6am to full on late stage labor pains. I was completely not expecting that level of pain. It was the same level of pain that I had the last hour before delivering my daughter. It lasted for about an hour, and I almost passed out several times. It was exhausting. I fell asleep really hard after until about 2pm.
TMI warning:
I have not bled that much and I am terrified that it is going to happen again. I feel ok now and do not want to go to a Vegas ER room on a Saturday night. I want to be home. I have an appointment Monday to see if the miscarriage is complete.
I keep comforting myself with the knowledge that I got pregnant after less than 2 months of going off BCP...so hopefully this was a fluke and I will not have trouble trying to conceive again, which was a worry at my age. But my heart is definitely hurting:(

On a sidenote, me and Scott are trying to come out there this winter. Any bad times to come, like if there's a bunch of conventions going on at once?

[QUOTE]Thank you all so much for the kind words...it does help me to feel better. Even to talk about it. I told some work people since I had a breakdown there one day after hearing bad news and my bosses needed to know. But I haven't told H's family, as he preferred not to. They are a huge family and kind of overbearing with the questions, and things spread like wild fire between them. My husband has been so sweet and it has been really hard on him too. He bought me baby diapers after we found out. They are hidden in a closet now. We kept hoping the baby was off to a slow start. The past month, he would jokingly do light CPR on my stomach and say "c'mon...you can do it!!" He felt so helpless last night.

</div><div>:) He really is amazing. He has so much baby experience coming from a family of 12 and I can tell him all the gory details. He is really positive too, which a cynical girl like me needs at a time like this. </div><div>
</div><div>He also got more pregnancy symptoms than I did! He was having stomach problems for a week, nauseated for a few days, craving chocolate (which he hates...I know, he's a freak), and he got super sensitive to my lotion and it started to nauseate him. But he said he would gladly take all the morning sickness just to not hear me complain, haha.

[QUOTE]Aww, he sounds like a darling! He'll make a fantastic dad me thinks!

</div><div>He definitely will. He is so baby crazy. Never dated anyone like him. I considered myself done with having kids before we met, but being with him made me want to have a family with him.

I never told anyone but you guys and my parents about mine. H's family doesn't know because, as bad as it sounds, I never told him about them.
