This time there was a bigger sac, but still nothing in it. The following week I went back for another ultrasound. I didn't know any better so I assumed this was normal and continued to tell everyone I was pregnant and show people the ultrasound picture of my little sac. I was naive.Ī couple weeks later I went to the RE for my first ultrasound, after a few moments, the doctor told me that he could only see a gestational sac forming, but that it must have been too early for him to see anything else. I was elated! I must have told everyone I spoke to during those first weeks that I was pregnant. Within a week of our first meeting with the RE, I was shocked with a positive pregnancy test. I talked to doctors and after more then a year visited a reproductive endocrinologist(RE) to pursue fertility treatments. As the months wore on, I knew something was wrong. After being married for a couple years my husband and I decided the time had come that we were ready for a baby, we had great jobs and plenty of savings. My own story of miscarriage is a lot like so many other women. Today we at GeekMom are going to try to break that silence. The loss of a child is sadly an incredibly taboo “hush-hush” subject in our society, women are often forced to suffer in silence. That’s 700,000 a year, a quarter of all females in this country. Every single day in the US, 2,000 women lose a baby to pregnancy/infant loss. 1 in 4 women experience a miscarriage in their lives, yet how many women do you know who actually talk about it? I doubt very many. Today is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
