Yesterday we went for our first ultrasound - we were so excited (9w5d). There was a sac that measured 8w3d but no embryo. I am crushed. We have been ttc for 4 years, failed IVF twice, and then got pg for the 1st time on an IUI cycle with a wonderful new RE. I'm not sure how many more times I can cope with this emotional rollercoaster. My body still feels pregnant but there is nobody inside. Now comes the hard part of telling people. I've made a couple calls but can't do too many at once.
The Dr has ordered hcg tests every 2nd day and then another ultrasound next wed 19th. She says 'miracles happen' but it just doesn't seem likely at this stage of things. If there's still nothing there then she will do a D&C.
I am sooo sorry hon..... this is a horrible experience for you I am sure. I too had a blighted ovum and found out at twelve weeks. It was horrible. I thought I was in the clear and excited moving out of the 1st trimester but it wasn't to go that way.....
Sending you a big (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))) )))))

Thanks for your kind messages. At times like this, I am so struck by how few words we have for sadness and loss. My friends and family have been wonderful, but I often feel more pain in feeling their pain and helplessness and not knowing what to say or do. These experiences seem to build strength in helping our friends to be friends when we need them.
I think we are all too quiet about pain and sadness in our lives and all of us have grown up feeling it is something to hide away and deal with inside ourselves. I'm also worried that my emotions will shut down at some point. I've been through 2 failed IVFs which, I can now say, felt very much like miscarriages.
I am so sorry that you are going through this. There is no words for sad time like this, like you said. I just wanted to tell you that I am thinking about you. I am on my first cycle since my d&c. Reading you post brought everything back and I remember how nice everyone here was to me, so I wanted to extend that to you.
anything that you would want me to say to you right now...i'm saying it...from my heart
take care

I am so sorry for your loss. I had two m/c's, the second one was a blighted ovum too. We really thought the second pg was going to be it. It's very frustrating to have to go through a m/c after trying for soooooo long. But I am 21wks pg again and things are going well. My sister, who also had a m/c last year is also pg again. Sometimes I think our bodies don't know what to do when we get pg for the first time and it just takes our bodies a time or two to figure out what to do. I hope this encourages you to not give up, keep trying, and things will work out. My sister and I are proof after trying for so long and going through m/c's ourselves. I told myself after my 1st pg that, at least I can get pg. That is a great place to start. I also researched this website and found that most, if not all, of the women who had one or more m/c's went on to have a baby. That's encouraging. I really hope this helps you out and again I am so sorry you are going through this.
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words. Right now I feel like I just couldn't face another loss. After 4 yrs ttc and with 2 failed IVFs, this m/c has been my 3rd loss. It gets a little harder to pick up the pieces each time. How long did you wait before trying again? What worked for you in getting pg? Did you do anything differently in this pg? I sure wish you all the best for a wonderful pg and new baby.
After my D&C in Dec. I went to my OB for my 6wk checkup and she told me I was pg again. We were not supposed to be trying and we weren't. (I know that's not what you want to hear.)
Let me break it down like this:
TTC since~ 06/02
Diagnosed with PCOS and on 1500mg met~ 09/02
50mg Clomid~ 02/03, 03/03, 04/03, no pg
on a break for the summer 2003
PG~ 08/03
M/C~ 08/03
100mg Clomid~ 09/03, 10/03
PG~ 11/03 (from the clomid)
D&C~ 12/03
PG~ 01/04
My sister did IVF in June 2003 and M/C'd in Aug. 2003.
She did IVF again this past Feb and so far so good. She can only do IVF with donor sperm.
I really do hope you get pg again soon and you're able to carry fullterm.
