Dr. L responded to my message last night at 10:17. She says not to worry because it is so early that sometimes an embryo isn't even visible at this point. In her words, my "baby is very photogenic." She also agreed to another ultrasound on the 24th.
Despite her reassurance, I still didn't sleep well last night. But this time it had nothing to do with me and my anxiety. Ella was throwing up all night long. I hope it ends with her but I won't hold my breath. Luckily she bounces back really quickly and is already back to her regular self.
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.
