Stefanie - it makes me so sad to hear this and it is so awful that all of our worst nightmare is coming true for you. It sounds like though that you are being very proactive and trying to determine what is going on - I hope you get the answers you are looking for soon! You have a very positive attitude and that will certainly serve you well. Please know that I am praying for you and thinking about you - keep us posted on what is sure to be good news soon!

Stefanie - I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I'm glad you were able to receive immediate care and I pray you receive some answers. I experienced the same thing last year, and while very difficult, there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel, I promise. Take good care of yourself and enjoy your wine! Looking forward to hearing from you in the fall.

Stefanie - I'm am so sorry for your loss. Having been through it twice, I know how horrible that visit was. Take some time for you and your DH and then try again if that's what you two decide. There is hope, these boards help remind us of that during the difficult times.

Even though my brain knows it should be ok, I worry too Fossie! I start progrestrone 1x a day today (week 11) and then next Saturday I stop the progestrone and asprin all together.

Fossie, I have been off of Prog. shots for a little over a week now and everything is fine. I know it is hard not to worry, but everything will be fine. And it is sooo nice not having to be home for a shot at a certain time and not have bruises all over your bottom!!!

As much as it pains me to write this, I wanted to let you girls know why I won't be posting anymore for a while. Unfortunately, I had a situation this week very similar to Stefanie's (Steph, my heart goes out to you!!)

I went in on Wednesday for an u/s at 9w6d and saw that our baby had stopped growing and lost its heartbeat at 6w3d (2 days past our previous ultrasound). My doctor referred to this as a "missed miscarriage" meaning my body hadn't yet realized that I miscarried. That is why there was no cramping or bleeding yet. To say the least, we were completely devastated.

I had a scheduled D&C the next day. My doctor didn't mentioned doing any testing of the tissue for chromosomal issues and to be honest, I was so distraught, I didn't think to ask.

DH and I are currently trying to devise a plan to get us on track physically and emotionally for another go at this. We don't have any frosties, so we would start back at square one. Considering how much weight I gained with this cycle, I'd like to give myself somet time and lose weight to prepare for the next one, I'm hoping my mid to late summer.

I just wanted to send all you ladies my best wishes one last time. I'm sure I'll still peek in here and there to see how everyone's doing.
