TTC after 35

Update

I know several of you have seen my update on PG>35,  but I just wanted to update over here, and also say thank you for all of the support and thoughts and prayers.

Unfortunately we did not see a heartbeat at our last ultrasound on Wednesday, and the baby had not grown since the week before. I was anxious about this week's ultrasound because even though we had seen the fetal pole the week before, it seemed to be measuring small.  I really wish I hadn't been right.

I had a D&C yesterday morning.  I haven't really cried much yet, a little bit here and there, but I am hoping that it will hit me soon and I can get it all out, and begin to move forward.  I can't really put into words how I feel, there are a lot of things circling around in my head.

We are supposed to go to my aunt's house tonight for a Christmas party with extended family. If we had seen a heartbeat this week, we would have announced to the family tonight. Now I am thinking I really don't feel up to going, I don't want it to be a situation where I walk in and then feel like I need to turn around and walk out. 

I don't know where we are or what our next steps will be, but I hope to be joining you back here in the next couple of months. I'm still lurking and I wish you all the very best of luck and a great holiday.


TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.



Re: Update

  • (((((HUGS)))) I am so sorry for this, I have no words to say, other than I am truly sorry and am sending you strength to get through this tough time, made tougher for the holidays.....T&P are with you.

  • I said it on PG>35 as well but wanted to say again how sorry I am, and that I feel for you how much it sucks that you have to go through this over the holidays, or ever for that matter.  We're here for you when you come back again.
  • I am so very sorry.. I think you need to focus on yourself tonight and if that means skipping the party, then you should.  You never know when the tears are going to hit you and better you be home where you can really let go.  :(

  • Thank you ladies. I decided not to go to the party tonight. I know my cousin will be there with her 6 month old and even though I haven't seen him yet, I think it's better if I just meet him another time.

  • Oh Irishgirl, I am so sad to hear this.  I hope you are able to have a good cry (or many) and find the strength to move on...it must be so incredibly hard to do.  I'm sure it was a good idea to skip the party to take time for yourself.
