The silver lining, LJ is getting medication for her thyroid issues.by Rachel Perez .
On Wednesday, September 9, 2020, LJ Moreno and Jimmy Alapag shared the sad news that LJ suffered a miscarriage on their vlog about their pregnancy journey.
After taking a pregnancy test, LJ went to the doctor for her first prenatal checkup. She was just a little past 6 weeks pregnant, and they could not hear the baby's heartbeat yet. The doctor said it could be too early.
"I went back for my next appointment, hoping na we could hear na the heartbeat. Unfortunately, we still couldn't," the mom of three shared.
The doctor then told them to manage their expectations about the pregnancy and warned them about a possible miscarriage.
On her third doctor's appointment, "We found out na wala na talaga," LJ said.

Telling the kids about miscarriage
Jimmy revealed LJ had early pregnancy complications when she was pregnant with their youngest, Calen. But at that time, they heard his heartbeat right away.

"That was the hardest thing," the mom of three admitted.

Staying positive after a miscarriage
For LJ, the pregnancy loss gave her the chance to get checked. The doctor found out three small nodules in her thyroid, and tests showed she had "antibodies." She could be be referring to Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APAS).
"If this pregnancy didn't happen, we wouldn't even know. [The nodules] could have gotten bigger without me even knowing. And the antibodies," LJ, who is now taking medication for these, said.
Jimmy took the opportunity to tell their followers to get regular checkups.

"God has a plan for all this. If you guys are going through anything, you may not understand it now, but don't lose the faith," she said.
"In God's time, if he feels that it's right for us to have an addition to our family, then it'll happen again," Jimmy added.
