Iam 31 year old German, married to the man of my dreams (American). In February 08 we decided to start trying for a baby and only two months later I found out I was pregnant. We were so excited and I was the happiest woman on the planet. We went in at 6 1/2 weeks and saw our baby`s heart beating. However, only one week later the heartbeat had stopped. My baby had grown so much during that last week and I couldn`t believe that ithad passed away. I had another u/s performed a day later and again it didn`t show any heartbeat. I had my D&C done that very same day on May 30th. One week later I went for my follow-up and my HCGs were still at 25.000. It turned out that the first D&C was incomplete and I had to have a second surgery on June 16th. 12 long weeks later I finally got my first period. On September 8th I went to the Doctor and received the green light for ttc again. I am very excited. The baby I lost will forever remain in my heart. The love I feel for it will never die, but I am ready to move on and hopefully God will bless us with a healthy baby soon. I am so ready to become a mother!
