My heart is bleeding today...

Pin It

You probably remember when in July I told you about my hypothyroidism problems. One of the reasons why we knew something was wrong is because we tried to get pregnant again for a while. In fact, by the end of 2013 it's been exactly 18 months since we started trying. I went literally through a hundred tests because my hormones were all over the place and I would get symptoms that weren't it. But last week I had a positive test... It was one of those chepo kinds that you can buy in Walmart for 88c and that I always have a bunch on hand. But it was definitely positive. In fact, I tried with three more tests over a span of few days and they were all positive. I also bought a clear blue one that shows the weeks on it, and it confirmed that I was pregnant again.

We were so excited but I knew something didn't feel right. I can't even explain what was wrong but it didn't feel like my two previous pregnancies. I tried to brush it off as fear because of my sister's miscarriage or my unstable hormones due to hypothyroidism. But yesterday morning I felt really strongly that I needed to do another test. And it turned out to be negative...One more an hour later... Negative again. By evening I started bleeding and today I miscarried...

I feel like my heart is bleeding right now... I don't know why but when it all started, a song "Bleeding love" by Leona Lewis popped into my head. Not the whole song but the chorus where she sings "Keep, keep bleeding love..." I guess, it's because that's exactly how I feel right now... like I'm bleeding love...

I will take a break from blogging for a few days.... Until I scrape myself off the floor again...I'm kind of an emotional wreck right now...Those darn hormones...But I love you all, and I'll be back. Just not sure when yet...But I will!

  21. Oh, Lena, my heart is hurting with you today. I had a miscarriage right before Josh and no one really knew about it. I had to go in for lots of blood tests and the uncertainty is awful. It doesn't matter how far along you are or who knew about the pregnancy, it still hurts a lot. Babies and pregnancies bring such hope and excitement that when that is lost, it's very hard to deal with. I'm thinking of you and praying for you.

  24. Dear Lena, I am so very deeply sorry. In September my oldest daughter miscarried and then again in October. In October my youngest daughter also miscarried. I so understand the deep sorrow you are going through. Prayers said for you dear.

  25. God Bless, Lena...and your dear little baby is happy in heaven. I know that doesn't help your sadness right now though. I've had 4 miscarriages (and my mom had 4). I have 6 children now and my mom had 7, so there is hope. It is mysterious, but it is God's will, to think that another child can be conceived and spaced close to the ones that are in heaven. I've heard the chances of getting pregnant are greatest soon after a miscarriage, so I've always been hopeful.

  28. How are you doing today honey? I have been through this many times and I feel for you. I want to tell you not to worry, I want to tell you that it is okay, I want to tell you so many things but I also realize that it will do no good, grief is grief, just know that things happen for a reason and there is one that knows us better than all. Love you
