Hi everyone, I recognize a lot of you from the June and July IVF threads. Like someone said earlier, I wish that I were seeing you again under better circumstances. I had my first bad news 10 days after my BFP when a blood test showed that my hcg wasn't rising like it should be. My u/s on 8/1 showed a much too small sac, and then on Friday I had another u/s which showed that the sac hadn't grown from the previous week. I took Cytotec to induce the m/c yesterday and now I just have cramping and bleeding. This is so hard! I knew two weeks ago that it was pretty much over and I thought I had made my peace with it. But ever since I took the Cytotec I've just been a basketcase! It is so nice to read all of your posts. It helps me feel more normal and at least like there are people who understand. My DH has been awesome and so supportive, even though he's feeling as rotten as I am (minus the cramps).

Missy and Claudia, DH and I just moved from A2 to Colorado in June! I miss it so much! We had such great friends there and there's always something to do! It's hard to make friends in a new place when you're going through IVF! Missy, you said you're an avid tailgater and I'm SO envious that you'll be at the games this fall! I will miss that sooo much! DH and I had season tickets. I can't wait for the season to start so that I can have a "healthy" outlet for my emotions! I am that we have a great season but I'm am a bit anxious to see how the team does under the new coach.

Erin, pregnant women make me sad, too. And angry, and envious, and annoyed...the list goes on and on... This is normal...right?
