#7

The ultrasound on Monday showed no heartbeat. My baby died sometime on Friday or Saturday. I will have a d&c on Friday. Fucking deja vu all over again. Fool me once shame on you, fool me 7 times, for fuck's sake what's wrong with me? How many times can a person be kicked down before they decide they don't want to get up anymore? I can't do this anymore. I'm not sure where we will go from here, but I will be out of Internet land for awhile. I'm in the public library and the pregnant librarian is discussing how she will decorate her nursery. I need to get out of here.

My heart breaks for you. I am so sorry. We've had seven total m/c's as well. If it weren't for the Endometrin and Lovenox, I don't think we'd be carrying this pregnancy.

Again, I am so, so sorry..

Astrid said...

I'm indescribably sorry to hear this. I hope you are able to find the distance and support that you need in the coming weeks and months. And I hope they can help you fix this thing.

AmyLynn- I don't know you, but I'm a fellow NC Blogger, and I wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you now, and wishing you some peace and some comfort. I am just so sorry that you are having to endure this. Infertility sucks. It's just so unfair and I am so sorry that you are stuck in this battle.

I am utterly gutted for you and can genuinely say I know exactly how you feel as I am currently awaiting the demise of my seventh pregnancy as I write this. The ultrasound at 7w4d showed CRL of 6w1d and heart rate of 90. We go back for the scan that tells us it is dead next Thursday, and I will follow you shortly to the land of D&C.

I do know also how you feel about getting your hopes up this many times, thinking this time might be different, thinking you are in with a chance. What can I say? It hurts just as much all over again.

I am so incredibly sad for you right now. I wish I had your email so I could be sure you would read this soon. I am sending you as much love and strength as I can muster. xxxx

Oh, no. I'm so sorry to read this. Please know that you're in my thoughts. After going through 6 losses, I'm terrified of having to face that again. My heart truly goes out to you.

I am so incredibly sorry. I do not have the right words to help you through this and only you know what you will need. A break from it sounds like a good start. I will be thinking of you and sending you strength.

Grad3 said...

That sucks beyond fucking belief.

There are no words. I wish I was there to hug you, give you all the chocolate and food you wanted, and sit there while not talking so the silence wasn't so deafening.

It isn't right and it's just not fair. Sending you the ~biggest, warmest, most supportive hugs~ I can offer...

I am so so so sorry. I hate that this happened. No, you're not a fool to have tried again. There is no shame on you. It's just fucked up. Its not your fault in any way.

This is cosmically junked out! Am so very sorry.

My words cannot take away your pain, but I just hope that there is some deliverance, and that God gets his act together.

So sorry.
