What an odd 2.5 weeks...

I think this is my first post on the pregnancy boards. My husband and I went off birth control in September and, using only metformin (plus exercise, eating better and less stres at work), we found out on May 1 we were pregnant. The doctor confirmed it the next day.

Unfortunately, we had a miscarriage on Friday the 13th (now THAT'S ironic). I meet with the ob/gyn on June 2nd and they're monitoring my hcg levels until then.

I have my moments of great sadness, yet I remind myself that it was AMAZING I even got pregnant with such little medical intervention. I just hope we get another chance at being parents sooner rather than later...

I went from sheer joy, excitement and tears of joy to sheer terror, anger and tears of great sadness all in 14 days.

Thanks for listening :)

P.S. I think my gallbladder is slowing dying...imagine the panic on the doctors' faces when I tell them I had severe stomach cramps and vomting this evening, 5 days after a MC.

Met him 12/2001 in NJ;  He moved from NJ to WA 05/2002;  Married 06/2006;  Attempt #1 2008 with Clomid and metformin, no luck.  Decided to go back on BCP;  LapBand 09/2009 at 371.1 lbs.  Got down to 268 by 2012;  Went off BCP 08/2010.  Started Metformin;  BFP 05/01/2011 followed by MC 05/13/2011 (Friday the 13th of all days!). Upped Metformin 09/2011;  Continued on Metformin.  On 10/28/2012 (3 days before semen analysis), had BFP :)  Due date 07/07/13 by size of baby but 6/30/13 by LMP.  Taken off Metformin at 8 weeks due to elevated liver levels.

I'm sorry for your loss.  The emotions will keep going up and down for a few more weeks, before steadying out.  Not that the sadness ever goes 100% away, but it will get better.

I hope your next BFP happens as soon as you're ready...and that it's a sticky, healthy pregnancy.
