Joining you again.

I found out that I had a missed miscarriage late this afternoon. I started bleeding a little bit this morning, and the doc had me come in for an ultrasound. I knew what was happening fairly quickly when the tech didn't see anything on the abdominal ultrasound and switched to the transvaginal ultrasound. I was supposed to be 11 weeks, 2 days, and I was measuring 6 weeks, 5 days and of course, no heartbeat.

I have a D & C scheduled for 12/27. Looks like we've got a lousy few days ahead of us. I'm terribly disappointed and my husband is very sad.

**My husband asked the doc if we did anything wrong or if there were any environmental factores, etc.  The doc very frankly (but kindly) said we just started this process (having kids) a little late and reminded me that my eggs were 36 years old and have a greater likelihood of having issues.

We will probably take some time to heal and regroup, then I'll be temping and charting to get this process underway again.
