Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
Re: Memories of miscarriage still hard
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
this exactly. I see how amazing my trio is and it makes me sad about the ones I missed out on. Then again, I may not have the trio today if I hadn't lost the earlier ones. It's so hard.
I am amazingly aware of kids the ages of what my first loss child would be. Like you I have a dear friend who has a son about the same age mine would have been and it's almost impossible to be around him and not think "what if"
Hugs to you, Mamma.
Loss sucks.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
