Well on Tuesday, after the initial ultrasound, I was ushered to have my blood taken to check my HCG levels. HCG levels are the hormones in your blood which should increase two fold every day if you are pregnant. So, on Tuesday my levels were at 17,000 and I went back on Thursday to check and they had decreased to 13,000. This is your bodies way of telling you that you are no longer going to be pregnant.
This means one of two things, my body will naturally eliminate any signs of conception - which has not taken place whatsoever. The alternative is called a DNC, basically when they surgically remove any signs of conception. I have another appointment on Wednesday to speak with the midwife and at that time I will decide what I want to do, unless of course my body decides to do something first.
Unfortunately God did not have plans for us to have a baby this time. We are okay with that, because we know that we are going to continue to try. It is not fun, but miscarriages at this stage in pregnancy are a 1 in 4 chance. Rest assured that the next time we conceive, I will not be letting anyone know until we at least reach the 12 week mark. That happens to be a monumental time during the fetus' development and will let us know if it will be viable or not.
