Another Let Down

When Kyle and I were on vacation in San Antonio I noticed that I wasn't feeling quite right. For a few nights in a row I was sick to my stomach and hardly slept. When we got home I had a weird feeling that I might possibly be pregnant. I had a pregnancy test laying around so I took it. To my surprise 2 lines popped up! I was hesitant and excited. I couldn't believe that this was actually happening again. 

I went in first thing that following Monday to the OB Sick Call to have my blood drawn. I got the results later in the day and the results weren't good. Levels were extremely low for how far along I was expected to be, but I was still considered pregnant. Come to find out it was a chemical pregnancy. Another let down and our hopes were shattered. We will just keep trying and pray that it all works out. No matter where this journey takes us we will do it together and be stronger because of it.




Hugs and Prayers to all the wonderful couples that struggle with this everyday like we do.

  1. So sorry to hear this, Jen. I was literally just thinking about your journey yesterday. I finally started all my doctor's appointments but our hospital won't have any OB/infertility referral capability until Oct at least. In the meantime we're just plugging along. Sending lots of love and faith to you and Kyle. <3

  6. You poor thing. I had a series of three chemical pregnancies in a row when trying for Taylor and even if they aren't considered miscarriages, they certainly hurt like no other. Especially for you since you've had such a heart wrenching past.

    Hang in there, pretty lady!

  25. I've been there, my friend, so I'm holding hands with you in my mind. It is very hard to have hope, then not. It feels like a roller coaster. My story had a very happy ending after really hard and trying times. I am praying that you find strength to deal with the hard times, so that you can get to the happy ending too.

  36. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you during this devastating time. "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God." (1 Corinthians 1:3-4) I've been where you are, and I am here for prayer and support as you need it.

  44. I'm so sorry. I wish there were words that made it easier but if there are, I don't know them. Hope you're doing whatever you need to make yourself feel better...sushi and wine were always my go-to's after a miscarriage
