Hello all...I have been lurking on this board for about a year now. I am not sure if this is the right place for this question, and I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings at all. I know IF is so difficult for me, and all of you!! So if this is the wrong board....please tell me to go elsewhere.
DH and I have been struggling with infertility for a few years now (see siggy). We were so happy at the end of February to have our very first BFP after IVF #2. I was very happy, but very careful on who to tell. I know this sounds crazy, but I just had this feeling something was not right since my very first beta. The number was low to me, but the RE said it was "good".
I was very happy when at 6w6d we saw the heartbeat and it was measuring perfect. However, I was measuring smaller than I should have. At the time, this bothered me, but the u/s tech and RE both reassured DH and I that everything was just fine. I still had this odd feeling something was wrong.
When I went to my first OB appt at 8W6D, I wanted to get another u/s. The nurse acted as though I was crazy, but she went ahead and scheduled the u/s. And my suspicions were confirmed. My LO's heart had stopped and I was only measuring 7w5d. I wanted to find that nurse who made me feel crazyand SHAKE HER.....HARD!!!!!
I scheduled a D&C immediately because I just didn't think I could take waiting for things to happen naturally. DH and I spent the day together talking about where do we go from here. From IVF #2, we have 2 frosties waiting for us. We are wanting to make plans for a FET ASAP. I am wondering how long you all think is best to wait. Obviously, we will have to wait at least one cycle. However, should I wait a few more months??
It's so weird....I am definitely sad, but I feel numb. Maybe that is because I just had this feeling the entire time that something was not right. I just want to get started up again with my RE because age is not in my favor. Am I crazy???
