Infertility

Well, I'm back...

Right before Christmas we finally got our first BFP from our first Clomid cycle, but unfortunately I started bleeding last Monday. A quick ultrasound and some bloodwork confirmed that unfortunately the pregnancy was lost, so I'm back here again.

I know for a lot of people hearing "at least you can get pregnant" is a terrible thing, but my doctor said it, and DH and I could agree more after the fibroid issues of the last 15 months. It's definitely been a difficult week, but I believe everything happens for a reason and we'll have a pregnancy soon thats meant to be.

Re: Well, I'm back...

  • Welcome back. I am so sorry for your loss. You have a good mindset about this which is so helpful!! Big (creepy internet) hugs to you.

  • I'm sorry!!! I am sure you are experiencing all kinds of difficult feelings. Welcome back. We are here to support you!
  • I am sorry to hear about your loss.
    I am impressed with your positive attitude. It reminds me of my BFF that experienced the same in September and said: 'But now I know I can, it must have been a little reminder to tell me not to give up!' I was in awe of her positivity.
    Wishing you good luck on your journey! x

  • Thanks so much everyone. It's so great to have such a welcoming group of women here, many of whom have experienced similar struggles.

    Fingers crossed for all of us!
  • *MC Mentioned*
    I'm so sorry this is happening to you. It's hard to look on the bright side with this kind of thing. When people said "At least you know you can get pregnant" It always stung...I wanted that baby, It was mine, and it's not enough for me to just know I can. I know that sounds selfish, but it's honest. You'll get through this, just take one day at a time. And never deny how your feeling. if you feel sad, feel sad! there's no specific grieving period. I get sad about my MC sometimes, and it happened in July. If you need to talk, we're here.
