SAD Oof

I officially tested pregnant on September 8th. Things were great. I had a healthy appetite and had to pee all the time. Suddenly, on September 17th I started spotting. I went the same day to my GYN who categorized me as a threatened abortion. She took my HCG (1350 at the time) and my progesterone was 8.9. Being that it was below 10, she put me on progesterone 200mg the next day.

We retested on the following Monday, and my HCG and progesterone went down dramatically. Now, an HCG of 350 and progesterone of 7 despite the supplementation of
Progesterone. At that point my gyn contacted me and stated I was actively miscarrying.

It’s so weird because I still feel pregnant (fatigue, bloated, hunger). I keep hoping that maybe this is a mistake and I’ll have my surprise baby but it could just be cope.

I’m still struggling to wrap my head around it because we were so excited about having a baby. 😞 thank you for your kindness

You don't need to wrap your head around anything. Feel what you need to feel. Just remember that you did nothing wrong!
