Joining Jess, Shelley and Stefanie

To Jess, Shelley and Stefanie I am sorry for your loss and I am joining you in your grief. I convinced my doctor to get me in for an u/s because I senced something wasn't right. We went in and the u/s showed no movement or heart beat. The baby stopped growing about 7 1/2 to 8 weeks. Shortly after my last u/s. I went in for a DNC today. I am in very little physical pain, but emotionally I am numb. DH and I have already decided to try again with IVF and see what happens. Our insurance will pay for 2 more tries. I will call my RE and see how soon we can start the process again.

I wish the rest of you a healthy, happy, full-term pregnancy. Thanks for all your help.

Tina
