I don't think I have ever posted an intro and I just want to introduce myself to you ladies with share my story, I hope you don't mind. My name is Michelle my dh is Andrew and we are both 27. We actually graduated together but never talked in school. I have a 7yr old little boy and he has a 4 year old little girl.
Me and DH have been trying for a baby since January 2010. We finally got out BFP December 18th of 2010. We were both over the moon. I started spotting about a week after I found out and went to my now old OB/GYN and before he even saw me he was talking about the pregnancy ending he was VERY cold and we had to follow him to get answers which he barely gave us, he did an exam and thought it might be ectopic since he felt a lump on my right ovary. He basically told us to wait and see. They took blood for an HCG result and the next day when I called to get the results they refused to give them to me so I called DH crying and he called and basically went off on the dr about how he had treated us during the appointment and then refusing to give me my #'s. After he finally called(minutes after my DH called) he scheduled me for an ultrasound to basically rule out the chance of ectopic. I went to the u/s and saw what the tech called the baby. The dr called back later that day and still wouldnt say if it was ectopic or not, we would have to wait more. The next week is kind of a blur, on Christmas day at my grandma's house I started spotting a little more so we left and went to the ER, they retested my HCG and they more than doubled in 48hrs. They told me everything was fine and sent me on my way. 2 days later we went back for cramping around my right ovary, again my hcg levels doubled, no bleeding coming from cervix which was tightly closed. They did an u/s and again we saw the baby but no heartbeat which they said was fine since i was around 4 1/2-5weeks. New years day we were at my moms house eating and i started bleeding heavier, so again off to the ER. They tested my hcg levels, doubled in 48hrs again and said it was a threatened miscarriage and sent us home. I started bleeding heavier that night and started passing the clots and such on Jan 2nd. We had to go back for another u/s on the 4th where we saw that the uterus was empty and they ruled out ectopic.

Thank you all. I feel so much more optimistic about trying again after hearing about this new doctor. HE is actually who my sister used and she said he is overly cautious when it comes to pregnancy, which with the loss I need.
Edited because I can't type worth a crap today
