Oh happy day!

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in '07. I did 3 rounds of chemo and was able to keep my ovaries. I recently got married in October. During a routine u/s to check cyst growth my Dr. noticed a tiny sac in my uterus. We were shocked but eventually overjoyed. Sadly, that joy ended with the loss of our little one. After testing we learned that it was a failure on my end, that more than likely we will be unsuccessful in future TTC and if we are successful it can be a child with syndrome. With that final bit of information we were left emotionally wrecked and unsure if we would want to put ourselves through anymore losses or bring a human into this world whose quality of life would be less than 100%. That just felt like such a huge decision and we can not see ourselves making it.

I have been holding on to the Pregnancy Loss board because it is the only place I felt the support I needed. However, I am now 3 months out from my mc and feel as if my loss is not as fresh as those women are dealing with. Since I am not TTC again...I felt lost.

SO THANK YOU BUMP!!!!

Coffee, tea, or tequila?

I will likely lurk on this board since we are considering moving toward adoption...but just wanted to say we have a few big similarities...I also was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 07 and did three rounds of chemo.  Wasn't that fun?  Ugh.

I've not had the opportunity to conceive in our two years of ttc and I'm sorry for your loss...as difficult as IF is I can't imagine having the excitement of the opportunity only to have a loss.

Its a weird feeling coming to terms with not TTC...I'm sure all of the girls on this board know about it.  I hope to learn a lot from them and I really hope you're able to find peace with it all as well.  I'm still working on it...I've recently become bitter about the whole cancer situation and my oncologist not suggesting opportunities to save my fertility...

I just wanted to tell Sulfa that I have missed seeing her! I missed you! Glad that I now know where you are! I will keep my eye on you

I think that women who beat cancer are amazing.  I don't pretend to understand how you felt when you were given the news, but you must be incredibly strong.  Hugs to both of you.
