okay.. i am 21 years old. i recently married my sweetie on 2/14/09 after living together for 2 1/2 years, trying to concieve for 2, but God had other plans. we finally concieved 18 days after we got married on 3/3/09. we found out we were pregnant sometime early in April, however my HCG levels were very high, saying that i was 6-8 weeks. going off of that when we had an u/s we were very dissapointed to find that there was nothing but a small sack. they said i had a blighted ovum and would most likely carry until i was 12 weeks and then miscarry so they gave me some pills that cause, basically, an abortion. after having a long talk with my family to make myself feel like i wasnt killing a baby, and that it wasnt an abortion i took the pills. i woke up the next morning and nothing had happened. i called the doctor and they told me to give it a couple of days and call back. still, nothing. so we scheduled a D&C for the next day. so i went in the next day and the doctor said, "okay we are gunna do an ultrasound and make sure everything looks okay." i was horrified. i didnt want to see it again, when all the sudden i looked up and there was something in there. i immediately started yelling, "what the h**l is that?! am i really pregnant or not?" and there it was, my baby little heartbeat. and here we are now, goingto find out what it is next month.
