34 hours

I started bleeding today. The cramping is more intense than usual and a few of them have had me doubling over in pain. I'm sad but mostly ok. I knew that this was the most likely outcome. I still need to go for another beta on Monday to make sure that my hCG level has returned to 0.
I hated the untelling. I struggled to find the right words because once I said it out loud it would be true. Not this time was enough for one of them the other needed to hear miscarriage. Is that how I now have to answer the "have you ever been pregnant" question from doctors? Will filling in a new patient medical history form be the only weight that my spark will have? I'm thinking that I might want something else to give those 34 hours of hope some weight. Something small that I can see or touch. What that will be hasn't come to me yet but it will.

I didn't think about filling in the forms. How sad that would be to have to remind yourself about it for the rest of our life.

I'm so sorry.

I am really sorry about what you are going through. It is tough to get some hope and then to lose it again so quickly.

I just came across your blog today and read it from beginning to end. I didn't even get up to answer the phone -- that's how engrossed I was/am in your words, your life, your hope.

I feel like I've been on this journey with you and my heart aches for what you going thru now.

I'm so sorry Meg. I know only too well how that feels, that spark of hope followed by the crushing weight of inevitability. I know I've already posted but wanted to drop by and thank you for your comment on my blog and for cheering me on. I hope you're in a better place right now, physically at least, the bleeding and cramping have ceased and the levels back to ground zero. Mentally...well, that will take some getting used to. I hear you on the telling. How do I answer the question, have I ever been pregnant? I hang my head, swallow my tears and say, yes, sadly, shamefully, 6 times, para 0 - gravida 6. And then the details. The devil truly is, in giving the details.

I'm hoping you're feeling better. Lots of hugs. xx
