How it came about--Conceiving our miracle.

When it comes to conceiving a child there are very few methods out there that remain untried. For those who have had difficulty getting pregnant I'm sure they know every one of them. We were lucky in this area.
We had been married for a few months when we decided that we wanted to have a baby. Low and behold that first month we got pregnant! It was such a joy! I was so excited. I wanted to go out shopping right away. I scheduled an appointment with my doctor the next day.
I was 10 weeks along at that first appointment. We got into the room, so excited and filled with anticipation to hear that baby's heartbeat!
The doctor came in and put the ultrasound goo on my belly and then told me that off course this early that a heartbeat might not be detectable. I wasn't worried at all, I fully expected to hear my babies heart beat. But of course I was disappointed for when she put the Doppler on my tummy all we could hear was static. She said not to worry that it happens all the time. Later looking back I now realize that she did act a little worried. But was she said was, "How about we give you a Christmas present and we'll send you for an ultrasound!" I was so excited! I'd get to actually SEE my baby!
And so we rushed down to the ultrasound center and got set up for the ultrasound. Now the first red flag came when the Ultrasound Technician told me empty my bladder since it was going to be a vaginal ultrasound because I wasn't far enough along for a surface ultrasound to pick anything up. I went to the bathroom and there was old blood everywhere. I began to panic. I went back to the room and told the technician about it. She assured me that we'd look and see what was going on.
She started the ultrasound and there I could see a little baby! Ah I was so excited! I didn't notice anything wrong. And then the technician pointed out the little chest and told us there was no heartbeat. Oh the devastation that came then...Never had I ever believed, even considered that I would ever be one to have a miscarriage.
I'd like to hear from others. How did you cope? In my next post I'll share how I was able to cope and how I was able to conceive again!
