Intro

Hi Girls,

I found out today at my ultrasound that there was no heartbeat

I was nearly 12 weeks so was pretty shocked as I thought I was close to being in the clear, but as everyone on this board knows - there's no "in the clear" until that baby is safe in your arms. Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

My first baby was conceived after nearly 2 years of trying (1 year of that fertility treatments - 5 rounds of IUI and some other failed drugs/cycles). This time I got pregnant on IUI#3 but it wasn't meant to be. I already have another appointment lined up w/my RE to talk about a new plan in a month, but the idea of going through that so soon sounds exhausting (we'll probably proceed anyway as I'm 36 and don't want to wait too long).

I have my D&C scheduled for tomorrow afternoon (the dilation part) and the actual procedure scheduled for Friday. I guess I'm also wondering what to expect in terms of recovery. I've been really nauseous this whole pregnancy - how soon will my PG symptoms subside after the D&C?

Nice to meet you all - looking forward to meeting everyone on this board.

Hi sorry for your loss

I feel for you and also know how horrid it feels to think your close to reaching the safe mark. It's so hard wondering why this happens. I saw my babies strong heart beat then a week later it was gone and I'm still trying to accept this. Sending you hugs

Hello. I'm so sorry for your loss. I also found out we had lost our LO right before the 12 week mark and after I had heard a strong HB at my previous u/s. It is so hard! As far as when symptoms will subside, for me it took about 2-3 weeks before all symptoms were gone. I hope your procedure goes smoothly and that you have a quick recovery. Big hugs!

I have no advice for your questions. Just wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you girls for your kind words and support. It means a lot and is nice to know there are other people I can "talk" to who have been through the same thing.
