Hi everyone - I'm so glad Jamie started this thread as I understand where everyone is coming from. I will be going to my Dr. on Thurs where he'll hopefully tell me the genetic results from my d & c. The hardest thing for me was going for my 1st u/s at 6 1/2 weeks and the technician was very quiet, not saying a word! My gut feeling was telling me this was not a good sign. I was right!! The doctor met with my dh & me and told us that there was no heartbeat & no fetal pole & it also appeared that I had a small clot. So, they gave me a choice of waiting to see if I m/c naturally in the next week or to have to have a d & c. I was absolutely heartbroken. My first pregnancy (after ttc for 2yrs) resulting in a m/c. The doctor also said that the good thing is that my body is saying that I am capable of getting pregnant. I just didn't feel very hopeful at that time.

missywojo & marilynnj- I understand where you are at right now. In June I felt exactly the same. It has now been 5 weeks & I still at times feel heartbroken and cry, but I do feel more hopeful now, especially reading stories on here about women having m/c and then going on to have healthy pregnancies.

My dh & I did not tell anyone we were pregnant so it was really hard for me as I really had no one to talk to about this as well. The women on this board really helped me & I am so thankful for finding this site.
