One perfect week. That is what Travis and I had last week. From 8/20-8/27 we were the 2 happiest people on the earth. We were pregnant! After 15 months and 2 cycles of Clomid, our dreams were coming true. Then the world crashed down around us. I lost the baby. I would have been 5 weeks pregnant. For whatever reason, we were not meant to have this child. Emotionally, we are both doing ok. Better than ok. Trav stayed home with me on Saturday and Sunday. After a little bit of encouragement from one of my BFFs, we went to a friend's birthday party on Saturday. It really helped. I was able to talk and receive encouragement from some of my best girls. Travis and I are determined to remain positive. We know that I can get pregnant and now just need to figure out the rest. We may be looking at my progesterone levels (they never rose with the pregnancy) when I get to talk to my doctor. Right now I am waiting on a call from the office about my second blood draw and my blood type. If I am B- like I think I am, I will have to get an RH shot. (I heard it stings like hell!!!)
I want to thank all the girls (and some of the guys) that I talked to on Saturday! You really raised both Travis and my spirits and gave us hope. We are not giving up yet!

I didn't get to talk to you much... but I am so so sorry! Hang in there...
I was just flying around checking out random blogs and I came across yours.
You are not alone, a lot of other women have struggled with this experience, and I want to thank you for talking about it. So much healthier than pretending nothing happened.
It helps a lot to hear that other people can be positive and look forward, while still taking the time to absorb what has happened.
My deepest sympathy and best wishes for the future.
Hi Kathy! I don't know you well, but we have many mutual friends. My husband and I are also struggling with infertility, so your loss hits home. My thoughts are with you and Travis!
Thanks Karree! I hear about you often through all those mutual friends! Good luck to you too! It's a hard journey but we will all make it through.
