Manada and Healz413's very sad news (loss discussed)

@Manada and I have some very sad news. We lost both of our babies on Wednesday.

As many of you know, in utero we had been calling the babies "The Rockies" and "Rocky 1 and Rocky 2" because our theme song throughout IVF and pregnancy was "Eye of the Tiger."

Wednesday morning, with virtually no warning, Rocky 1's water broke. We were 21 weeks exactly.

At 9:31pm on Weds, Tavin Sara T. was stillborn. At 10:05pm Casey Elizabeth T. was born alive and lived for about the next hour and a bit. We lay with both beautiful, precious babies on our chests, and we spoke and sang to both of them while we held them.   

 

(This is @Manada talking: Tavin and Casey are so beautiful, and they both look so much like H. in different ways.   Tavin has a ridge on the back of her head that is a feature of H’s and H’s philtrum, which made her expression one that I recognized right away.  Casey has H’s lips, nose and ears for sure, and probably her cheek shape as well.   Both of our daughters also have H’s very distinct knees and her long monkey-toes; those were one of the first things I looked for.)  

We were very lucky to have our birth attended by our wonderful midwife even though we were obviously in the hospital. She caught both babies and was an incredible source of support through a day the horrors, sorrows, and beauties of which we have not yet really begun to process. 

We both feel so lucky for the 21 weeks we got to share with our Rockies and for getting to have both babies with us after they were born; we are grateful for the ways we did get to know them. We are also devastated beyond words at not getting to watch Casey and Tavin grow up together. 

We do not know for sure what caused the water to break and we may never know. On Tuesday we had an appointment with our twins specialist and everything looked great with the babies and with M’s cervix (which many of you know was shortened and had had put @Manada on bedrest for the last several weeks). The doctor was very happy and we returned home to bedrest.   Only 14 hours later, after M. waking up with a feeling of bladder discomfort and a very few minutes of mild cramping, Tavin's water broke abruptly and out of nowhere.   We went from waking up without reason for concern to paging the midwife and rushing to the hospital within 30 minutes.  

At the time of birth, there was an infection discovered in the uterus and amniotic fluid that was pretty severe and one that has not been adequately explained through research, nor can the doctors explain to us how or why it happened.  It may have been caused by the bleed a month ago, or that bleed may have been the first sign at that point that something was brewing.    We were so hopeful that things would be able to hold on until our babies would be safe, but despite the cervix doing well it happened.   There is no reason to believe the way this happened is related to the fact that we had twins or the cervix issues we had. 

Tavin's middle name Sara is after my aunt Sara who passed away from breast cancer several years ago. Casey's middle name Elizabeth is after Manada's great grandmother and after my mom's middle name.

We spent today making arrangements for our babies and on Wednesday we are planning to do a small outdoor ceremony with our families.

We love them both so much.


****loss discussed*****

We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

FET #1 December 2014
Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

  • I am so very sorry. I keep hoping that this is not reality and not true, as I'm sure you do as well. You will continue to be in my thoughts always.

    No words are truly adequate right now. I hope that you have a beautiful ceremony on Wednesday. My heart breaks for you both. Thank you for sharing Tavin and Casey's creation and time with us. They were two very loved little girls.

    Words cannot begin to describe the sadness and heartache that I feel for you both and your precious daughters. When I saw the subject line of this thread, my heart sank. As I read your eloquent words, I just cried for you and your family. I cannot express adequately how very sorry and heartbroken I am for you both. I cannot imagine what you both must be going through, but the one thing I do know is that you two are so in love and so supportive of one another... If there is any couple that can find a way through such a tragedy and support one another it is the two of you. I think I speak for our entire community here when I say that we are all here for you no matter what you need from us. I feel like you are both my friends and I have witnessed your journey for the last year and a half. If there is any way that we can collectively honor your daughters here, please let us know. You and your families will be in my thoughts... My deepest sympathy to you both...

  • There are no words to express just how heartbroken I am over the loss of your two precious babies.  I'm glad that you had the time that you did growing and nurturing your babies and holding and cuddling them after they were born.  It's just devastatingly unfair that you didn't have more time with them.  As part of this community I feel honored that you shared their birth story with us.  I can't imagine how difficult it was to write.  My heart is with you and mourns for your daughters. My very deepest sympathy and love to you all.

  • As others have said, there are no words here but a community who's hearts are breaking with yours. I'm so so sorry. I'm glad you got to hold your Rockies as they have proven to be such fighters. Please know we are all thinking of you both and your family.


    10 medicated IUI's (3 with injectables). 
    IUI #1 (medicated) Jan. 2013-BFP!!!!- Beta's didn't double, MTX shot for possible ectopic.
    8 IUI's between April 13-April 14 = BFN 
    IUI #10 and final before IVF, injectables May 2014- BFP!!!!  TWINS!!!!

    7 week ultrasound showed 2 wonderful heartbeats!
    8 weeks to the ER with vaginal bleeding while on vacations!  Diagnosed SubChorionic Hemorrhage.  Babies are both great.
    9 week ultrasound showed both babies are still great.
  • My heart broke reading the subject line and then your beautifully written post last night before bed, and I woke up praying it was a bad dream...I am so, so, so sorry. There is nothing anyone can say to take away the pain, but know we are all here for you both.

    I'm so glad you got to hold your babies and love on them. @Manada your description of how they looked like H was so sweet. Those little Rockies had two incredible parents for their short time and they couldn't have been luckier. It's not fair that this happened, and I'm so sad for you both.

    I love their names by the way :). Thank you for taking the time to allow us all to be a part of Tavin & Casey's lives!

  • I am so sorry for your loss.  The loss of a child is so hard let alone two.  Keep them in your memory everyday.  I know for me sharing my story on here was very healing and once I was ready sharing my story outside of the bump and letting people know that I had a child and R and I were mothers also helped heal my heart. 

    You will be in my thoughts these upcoming weeks and months.  Once again I am so sorry for your loss.

  • Like others, I could not believe the words when I read them; I cannot imagine how you both felt living through the actual events.  This is such a tragic and sad outcome.  You both are such beautiful people and your babies reflected the light in you.  May your whole family find peace during this difficult time.  You are in my thoughts. Take care of each other.

    "Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

  • Oh, no... I am so, so sorry for your loss :( I am crying for you both.  I realize we're virtual strangers with just an internet connection, but I've been with you in spirit for your journey and I've been rooting so hard for you.  I wish there was something I could say or do to ease your pain.  It's just senseless and horrible.  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.  Please let us know if there's anything we can do.
