    Had miscarriage... :(

    Hi Ladies -

    On Tuesday of this week, I started bleeding and cramping. So, I called the OB's office, and they had me get a blood test done. They got me in on Wednesday afternoon to review the results of the test and do an internal exam (ouch!). Sure enough, I was having an early miscarriage. I was only 4.5 weeks along. I'm still bleeding a little, but the cramping has subsided. I guess we're going to get right back on the bandwagon and try again. I asked the OB if he thought that the IC had something to do with it, and he said definitely not. These things just happen! Thanks for all your support. I am doing ok. Hopefully, I will get pg again quickly!

    P.S. My horrible IC flare up subsided after my miscarriage. I think all of the pregnancy hormones were killing my bladder.

    Dx with IC 3/2009 - Cysto w/Hydro
    Meds: Elmiron (400mg), Atarax (10mg), Elavil (20mg), Pyridium (as needed)
