Bad News

Post by SarahJ »

Hi Guys

Have some bad news!! Miscarried yesterday six weeks gone!! So much for my hcg levels going up i have just had another blood test and my HCG level is Nil!!!


I would have preferred it if the clinic had just said it hadnt worked. Its amazing how much you can get used to the idea of being pregnant in just two weeks!!

Sorry to be so miserable but i am gonna try again in a couple of months. I still have ten frozen bambinos so here goes!! :D
Basically both myself and DH are Knac**ed!!!!

I am so sorry - there are no words that can be much comfort to you and DH at the moment, but just know that we are all here for you when you feel like talking.

Well done with the positive attitude to the Frozen Bambinos - take this time now to pamper yourself and be a little self-indulgent before having to give things up again.

Take care and big hugs

Little P

Sarah, so sorry for your sad news. Let yourself grieve, as you say, 2 weeks is a long time when you know for every second that you'd got that far.

You might not want to hear it but you're probably better off than your suggestion. You now know that it DID work, you WERE pregnant, at least one DID implant. This is much more than others get to know and helps to prepare for next time. All knowledge and information help your clinic get it right - 10 frosties is an amazing number to have faith in.

Take a while to enjoy yourselves, allowed to do all those things that were forbidden and relax.

hugs
Debra.

Sarah,
I am so sorry to hear the news.
Please know that I am thinking of you and your DH. You were able to get pregnant and it will happen again. It is a frightening journey, but I am sure it is all worth it.

Sarah, I'm so sorry for your loss.

It doesn't matter how pregnant you are for it to be a loss. I understand you preferring the pg never to have happened, I've been there too. The pain of a m/c is way worse then the pain of another negative.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Iam so sorry Sarah for your loss. Please know that you are in my prayers and your DH. As the girls said please take time to grieve and I will share with you my best therapy- CRYING IT OUT- LET IT COME OUT. I find it very helpful, especially after all the necessary words have been said. You sound like a very strong person and I like your will to go on.

Ten embies is a good number and with the fact that it once worked you have a high chance.

So sorry to hear this. Having had a similar thing happen (early m/c at around 5 weeks) I can only agree with Debra – even though right now it feels worse to have been pg and to then have m/c, it’s actually much better both for you and for your clinic to know that you can and did achieve a pregnancy. It tells your clinic that your meds were right and pinpoints where there is possibly work to be done for next time – ie maintaining the pregnancy.

So sorry Sarah - I really feel for you and hope you feel a little better soon. I know exactly what you mean about how attached you get - I'm at a similar stage and no-one knows what tomorrow will bring. Thinking of you and praying for you,

Sarah - Sorry to hear your news. Although I'm sure you couldn't feel much lower at the moment, you sound like you've got some fight left in you .. I hope things improve for you both soon.

Thanks Girls

I feel a lot better for some reason today!! Keep on having my moments tho! Got three bunches of flowers today and cried everytime hee hee.

I am getting through it by thinking that there must have been something wrong with the baby!! And i would rather lose a pregnancy at six week rather than six months.

Am gonna get steaming drunk this weekend, eats lots of runny eggs and smoke like a chimney!!

Woo Hoo bring it on !! So if im on the news because ive been streaking round west yorkshire in a drunken stupor, you can tell your friends you know me!!!


Thanks for being so kind everyone!!

Your Cool

Sarah a good drunken party will help. It sure did for me.
I lost my baby at 7 weeks and it took some time to deal with it. I still think about it all the time. I know that pain will forever be with me.
I am glad you are doing better though, Have fun and don't get arrested LOL.
Love
Joy
