Pregnant after 35

Looks like this isn't our time after all-no heartbeat

DH and I went for my u/s this morning hoping to see a heartbeat, but there was nothing, and there was no growth since last week.  It doesn't even look like a there is a fetal pole in there anymore, it looks like there is something, but not what they are looking for, and definitely no heartbeat.

The doctor doing the monitoring said that we really should have seen a heartbeat last week, and certainly we should have seen one this morning. 

I feel like this is some kind of cruel joke. First we think there are two, then we are told it's only one, and now there are none. 

I am at work, but my boss told me to take the day, I just haven't figured out when to leave yet. I kind of want to get some kind of beta confirmation today before I go, but in reality, I know this is done. I was anxious all weekend about this ultra sound today, I guess I had a feeling about this. 

Still processing this, I think I need to leave the office and have a good cry. Fortunately my husband is home from work this week so I can hang out with him.

Thank you so much for all of your support, I will still be lurking over here to see how you are all doing, and I hope that I get to join you over here again someday soon.  I wish you all the best with your pregnancies and your little ones!

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.

  • So, so sorry to hear this, Irishgirl. Having gone through the same thing earlier this year, I understand how difficult it is to get this news. Will be thinking of you and hoping you join us back here soon.
  • I'm so sorry. A nonviable pregnancy after you thought you had beaten bad odds is a terribly cruel joke. Take care of yourself and your DH.
  • Oh no Irishgirl I am so very sorry to read this. I will be praying for you and your DH.

  • Thank you all for so much support. I don't know what I would do without this board and all of you ladies. 

    My ultrasound yesterday was done at the place that just monitors me, my RE wants to see me today and do his own scan and see what it is they are looking at and confirm the results.  For some reason they think the report is ambiguous and want to see for themselves, and do their own measurements.  That makes sense to me, but I honestly don't think there is going to be another outcome, I think we will just be confirming  what we already know. 

    I did leave work yesterday at 10:30, went home and then DH took me out for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory where I treated myself to a nice fat cheeseburger and then I bought 2 pairs of boots for myself. I was supposed to be Christmas shopping but oh well.

    This still hasn't hit me yet, although I did cry last night while watching a very sweet video on Facebook of a dog and a little boy with down's syndrome playing with each other.  I'm not sure if that was because of this, or that the video was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I tend to cry at videos where animals are involved.

    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.

ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!!
