Loss

 Ater having very strong cramping all day yesterday (which the fertility nurse said could be totally normal), I awoke at 530am to discover that I was bleeding. I called a very sleepy Dr. Awadalla and he said to come in for a bloodtest today. John stayed home from work to go with me.
  We dropped Ryan off at school and arranged for Granddad to pick him up after school was over. They had a great time-- McDonald's for lunch, and then Ryan got a new squishy toy at Walmart. :)
   We talked to the nurse around 430pm and she said that the pregnancy test was negative. Based on the lab results, it appears that the embryos did not even implant at all. While we were not suprised by the results (I've been bleeding heavily all day now), it was still very sad news. We really had high hopes for these little embryos, and had looked forward to meeting the babies they would have become.
