Dear All, Some of you may remember me, I had a failed ICSI cycle at the ARGC in Feb and during that time was a regular on this site. This June I cycled again and we had a positive result but at the first scan they couldn't see anything and a repeat scan on Thurs confirmed that the pregnancy "was not viable" and I had a D&C later that day. Obviousley DH & I are still reeling from all of this & feeling quite desperate. I could really do with hearing from anyone who has gone on to be successful after losing a baby in this way. We have no idea if we should continue or just give up after all this. Can anyone give us any advice? Many Thanks Rach X

Rach, I left you a message the other day but it appears to have been wiped!!(along with other people's messages too) I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you both at this horrible time. Please don't give up your dream...I know it will take a while to get over but you must try again. You got one step closer to it happening for you. (A major step closer). If you want to e mail me my address is honestbabe74@yahoo.co.uk. I know in my heart that it will happen for you Rach, I know you must be feeling awful but hang in there, Loads of love and hugs Kirsty xxxx

Kirsty, Thanks for posting again, I don't know what happened for all the messages to be wiped off but I did log on at the weekend so at least I have been able to read them all. I called the ARGC yesterday and we have an appointment for September. In the meantime, they are testing (this sounds horrible I know!)tissue from the D&C so they can try to work out exactly why things went wrong. From what I can gather they may be able to figure out if it was a chromosome problem, which is quite common and would hopefully not happen again or if it is something to do with implantation and the way my body reacts in early pregnancy. I take some comfort from the fact that they are trying to get to the bottom of it all. I have a lot of faith in Mr Taranissi, which is one blessing. Thanks for the email address, I will be in touch. Hope things are going well for you and that you are feeling well. It seems incredible that you are so far through your pregnancy, what a lot has happened to both of us since Feb! Take Care, Love RachX
