The last 72 hours...

Have been some of the most heartbreaking, exciting, scary and totally mind-blowing hours of my life.

I posted a blog on Tuesday announcing to the world we weren't pregnant. Here's the entire story, so you all understand what we've experienced.

Monday night I was spotting and it was very minimal. Tuesday it had picked up some, so I called the RE. The nurse called me back and said she thought it was just my period coming. I was pretty upset and I took a nap. When I woke up from that nap, I felt light-headed. This went on for a good part of the day, off and on.

I woke up Wednesday morning, still feeling occasionally light-headed and just knew that something wasn't right. I took a pregnancy test. OMG! It was positive. Those 2 little pink lines gave us so much to hope for and so much to be excited about. Women have spotting all the time and have healthy babies.

I called the RE office and they called me back very quickly. They got me in for blood work just as quickly.

The call that came at 2:00pm was the one that brought everything crashing down. My blood test showed that I was pregnant but that it was a chemical pregnancy and I'd likely start my period over the weekend.

It was all I could do to hold back the tears while I was on the phone. It's still pretty hard to hold them back right now.

We had no idea what a chemical pregnancy is but basically we've learned that we did in fact conceive. The definition of a chemical pregnancy is a pregnancy that stops growing before it is large enough to be seen on ultrasound. It’s a very early miscarriage.

Today AF showed up on her own for the first time in 6 months which is the end of the pregnancy.

I truly appreciate all the kind words and those of you that have been thinking about us and praying for us. It's been a really difficult 3 days but we are trying to stay positive.

I will post more later tonight about what's next for us. Thanks again for everything you all have done!
