Infertility

I'm back (losses mentioned)

I had a short stint here in June and July however this journey has been far from short for my wife and I.  She is the one TTC right now and we got our first BFP in August and were super excited.  We were told we were having twins.  Two babies after 2.5 years of failed fertility we final had our family.  Fast forward to 9/1.  We had our second U/S with the RE and he told is that Baby A no longer had a heartbeat, we would only have one baby.  We we're ok, sad about A but excited we still had Baby B and it was doing great.  9/29 we went for our first prenatal visit and the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat with the Doppler so he did a quick scan.  He found 2 empty sacks.  We now lost Baby B.  We are deviststed!  D&C scheduled for 10/6 then we start this whole process all over again.

  • So sorry to hear this!  I hope all goes well on 10/6 and she recovers well. IF is terrible and unfair. Please take care of one another during this difficult time. 
  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Infertility is just heartbreaking. I hope all goes well.

  • @Holzie I'm devastated for you. To finally feel like you were getting your happily ever after to have it ripped from your grasp... so so hard. I hope you and your wife are healing emotionally (as well as physically for her). Have you had a follow up appointment with the RE yet? Did they give you any insight? I'm so sorry for your losses. <3
