April 30th, 2007 Email

OK, so I'm so sorry if this is the first you are hearing of this but I have some stuff going on and I realized that I left a few people out of the loop that I didn't mean to. So if this is the first you've heard of any of this please forgive me and read on to get caught up!

I just wanted to give everyone an update on what's going on with me. According to the first day of my last period I should be 8 weeks pregnant this Wednesday but some blood tests last week showed a drop in my hormone level leading us to believe that we could expect a miscarriage. As of right now I have not miscarried yet. I have not had any symptoms of miscarrying other than a few brief moments of dull cramping that ultimately led to nothing. So all I can do is pray and wait.

I had some follow up tests done this morning and the results were not what we expected to see. Just to recap here are my hcg levels for the 3 test dates:

4/18 - 2600
4/23 - 2000
4/30 - 2800

As you will notice my hormone levels have increased instead of decreasing as expected. This is not normal! I never claimed myself to be a normal person but this for me feels beyond weird. This whole experience has been completely bizarre and I have no idea what is happening here...

So, I have an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday at 9:30 to try and find out more. Like I said before, this is not normal and the doc does not want me to take this as a sign to have hope but how can I not have hope? I trust whatever it is that God is doing in this no matter the outcome - though I am a little confused at this point. Please continue to pray that God's will be done and that Cam and I will have peace no matter what happens. Thanks for being in this with us. We love you all so much!
