After our second miscarriage, I knew in my heart there had to be a problem with me medically. I wrestled with this because I wanted to be "normal". I wanted to find the problem I knew I had, but yet I didn't want to know...all at the same time. There are so many emotions when you experience miscarriage. It is literally a roller coaster ride! I thought I would get married, wait a few years, get pregnant, have a few kids and life would be perfect. I have learned that our lives are in the hands of God. HE has a plan for each of us.
After the second miscarriage Dr.Marichal felt I should be tested for blood clotting issues. He felt it odd that I never "lost" the babies at home and that everything appeared perfect until we found no heart beat on the ultrasounds. I agreed and was happy to go through whatever testing I needed in order to solve the problem and hopefully have a baby. I was desperate and exhausted! I just wanted answers.
So, I went for bloodwork the first week of January, 2007. The lab technician took 14 rather large tubes of blood. I could not believe they needed so much. I was being tested for everything under the sun, including Lupus. I have to say I was a little afraid at what the outcome would be, but I had a peace that God was in control and it was all going to be okay.
After about a week Dr.Marichal's nurse called and asked if we could come in and meet with the doctor. She said he thought he had found the problem but in the meantime he wanted me to go back to the lab and get one more blood draw. I did that and we met with Dr.Marichal in mid-January. I was nervous and excited in anticipation of the news we would receive. Would he tell us there was no hope? Would he tell me I was just "high risk" for miscarriage? Was it something I had done wrong?
So many questions.....
