The Only Way Around is Through

Over the last nine years, I've had eight pregnancies. Two ended in the births of my daughters, Lily (8) and Ella (5). Five have ended in losses between 5 and 16 weeks. Chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, missed miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and late miscarriage are all part of my history. Finally, my 8th and final pregnancy, brought us our baby boy, Will, who has Down syndrome. With the loss of Olivia at 16 weeks on October 5, 2014, I turned to writing as a way to work through the challenges.

Spur of the Moment

December 15, 2014

Today was a final last-ditch effort to figure out what causes our losses. Going in, we were told that there was a 5% chance that this test would have an abnormal result. As expected everything was normal. We are officially part of the 50% or more couples who have no known reason for their losses.

We’ve been planning to start fresh on our journey to have a third child in January, but now that we have the last test taken and the (lack of) results, I don’t see any reason to wait any longer to try again.
