A surprise that quickly turned upside down

4 days ago, I randomly took a home pregnancy test and was in shock to find a second faint line. I saw my gynecologist the next day and we did a Serum Beta HCG test and the result was 50. We had stopped trying so we were surprised that we could get pregnant naturally. It could really happen! My doctor asked that I take another Beta HCG test 2 days later. 50 was supposed to double and become at least 100 for it to be considered a possible viable pregnancy.

I got my result today and it went down to 25. My doctor says it's a chemical pregnancy.

This is one of the times when I try hard not to ask 'why?' But I keep on trusting God and His plans for us to become parents someday. It might not happen right this moment but I trust in His perfect timing and believe that though I may not understand why this is happening to me now, I will someday.
