I wanted to stop in and say hello to some of my January cycle buddies, so I began by catching up on the latest news. Karen, my heart dropped when I read your news. I cannot fathom what you and your husband must be feeling. Please know that we are all praying for time to pass quickly, as it is the only thing that will ease the sharp pain you must be enduring. There is nothing we can do to make this easier, except pray for you and offer our support.

To the other ladies who are here, I would like to be here for you in any way I can, whether it's support, cheering, or offering some preggo advice (I have a 22 and 20 year old all growed up). Hugs to all, I know the entire thread is in mourning for Karen and her precious daughters. :(

I want to thank everyone from the deepest space in my heart and soul for the heart felt prayers and sentiments. It comes at a time that is needed more than ever. Thanks so much for all the PM's and stories of hope. From the bottom of my heart I wish you ladies a healthy and full-term pregnancy. Please take care of yourselfs and know I send you back prayers and positive energy. I will return one day to this forum when we begin our next IVF journey. And I will join once again the pregnant after treatment board!!!! I'm determined!!! Depending on what the doctors say, we'll start as soon as we can (most likely the end of this year). In the meantime, please PM me to stay in touch, as I won't be checking this board. I need time to grieve, heal and regroup. My personal email is planetkaren@gmail.com. You've all touched my heart and know I will be ok. DH and I are leaning on eachother and giving each the comfort we need. He's the most amazing husband in the world...just when I thought I couldn't possibly love him more! I'm truly blessed, despite all the heart ache right now. God bless you all. xo Karen

Because of Karen's loss I was inspired to write something for her as well as the others who have lost including those who are having a successful pregnancy now but lost in the past. I posted it on the registry site that I made. I think about everyone's losses, including the stories that have been told and reading the signatures that tell a tragic story of their own. I cried the whole time I wrote it, thinking about what I would want to hear had it happened to me. That's why I wrote it in the way I did. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. My empathedic self is still very sad. I see the perinatologist tomorrow and will update everyone on that afterwards.

Karen -- I PM'd you. I'm so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.

Franca -- Right on girl! Congrats!

AFM -- Hi ladies. I wanted to give you all an update as I am moving forward. AF came yesterday and I am starting BCP's tomorrow for 2 weeks, stimming the week of the 24th, and ER/ET the week of 8/1. Thank you all for your support and love. If you want to follow me, I will be on the Summer Cycle board. I also found out that my baby died due to a non-inheritable genetic issue. So there was truly nothing that could have been done. I can stop beating myself up for exercising and drinking green tea now! I also found out he was a boy. I believe he already had a soul and is up there in heaven with his grandma and I will meet him there someday as well.

I wish everyone the best. Please take good care of yourselves mommies.
XOXO
