I am completely devastated right now and wish I had good news. Unfortunately not though, I just wanted to update those of you that read my post last week where we had our 1st u/s on Wed. ( where I should have been 6.5 wks) but they only saw the sac which measured 5 weeks and betas that day were also matching 5 weeks, so there was some hope at that point. Went back today for 2nd u/s and still only the sac which had grown a very small amount- measuring 5wk7d, and my betas did not rise appropriately. My RE thinks it is a blighted ovum and I will m/c in the next couple weeks. I go back Monday for more betas to see if they are going down. I feel just so numb right now, because this was our 2nd cycle of fertility and if this round didn't work, we were going to have to take a break for a while because of how emotionally draining it is and also because financially it is so expensive to pay for everything out of pocket. I know I am already so blessed with my first DS and need to keep reminding myself that I do already have one beautiful boy. Thanks for letting me vent.
Good Luck to everyone, I hope you all have healthy pregnancies and beautiful bebes in July.

I have been thinking about you a lot since your post last week. I'm so sorry this has happened. Life just isn't fair.
Having your son will help you get through this but honestly, it still isn't easy. You have lost a baby and that is a devastating loss no matter how many other children you may have. Give your son big hugs and take care of yourself.
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.
