Ok. This holiday has been very difficult. We lost our baby on Thanksgiving, and the MC was complete yesterday. We’re devastated, especially because we had no answers. A week earlier we saw a strong, 8-week heartbeat, and a week later it was gone.
Today, I wasn’t feeling very well, I was afraid something had gone wrong or maybe I was developing an infection so I went in for some tests. It’s bitter sweet, but the tests revealed my thyroid is highly dysfunctional. So far gone in fact, that it’s amazing I was even able to get pregnant and stay pregnant long enough to realize I was pregnant. My Dr and I now have a plan of action to get me healthy again and I am so grateful.
It’s very sad that I lost my baby, but if it weren’t for the pregnancy, I never would have known I had a problem at all and I might have gone on TTC for years without ever knowing there was a hormonal imbalance stopping me. Now my partner and I know we need to first correct this issue before TTC again, less we would only MC again and again.
I’m 32 years old and have a major medical condition that will likely have me on medication for the rest of my life, and I had no idea! I’ve never been the type to go to the Dr, never thought I needed to. This whole experience has humbled me. Our bodies are delicate and attention needs to be paid to their well-being. It breaks my heart to learn that I was the reason my baby will never join us on earth, but I am go grateful that modern medicine has revealed to me a very treatable condition, that once treated, will allow me to go on to build a happy and healthy baby in the future.
