This is the most difficult blog update I've ever written. We had our 13 week u/s today and went to it with such excitement only to find out our baby stopped developing around 8 weeks, shortly after our last u/s. We are devastated.
The u/s tech and doctor were wonderful but I don't think I'll ever forget it. She went over our dates of retrieval and transfer and when she put the probe on my belly and brought up the baby on the screen I knew something was wrong. It didn't look like it was supposed to and it wasn't moving. She said I don't think you're 12 weeks 6 days. I said, the baby's measuring a bit small is it? She said yes. She looked some more and took some measurements and then said, I don't have any good news for you, I'm sorry. She want on to describe what she was seeing vs what she was supposed to be seeing. I already knew what she was supposed to be seeing, I had done my research. She also went on to tell me it was nothing I did and nothing I could have done different.
After a few minutes, she left DH and I alone. We just hugged and cried and held each other. The doctor came in and gave us our options. Because it's a missed miscarriage, we can 1. wait for it to occur naturally (not recommended because it's already been 4 or 5 weeks), 2. take the drug to induce m/c or 3. have a D&C. We have opted for the D&C because I don't like the idea of taking a pill and then sitting and waiting for a few hours to see what happens. My sister did the medicated option and still ended up with the D&C because it didn't get rid of all the tissue.
I just spoke to the Early Pregnancy Loss clinic and they earliest they can do the procedure is Friday. DH can't be there on Friday unless something changes at work. I'm hoping his boss will have a heart and change his vacation so he can be there with me but if not, I have 2 sisters who will be a huge comfort.
When I got up off the bed to walk down the hall after the u/s, I felt like my legs weighed about 100 lbs each. I could hardly lift my feet. We were put in one the quiet family rooms to wait for my doctor to be reached. They reached her but she is at the Fertility Clinic today (she's also our R/E) so we have an appointment to see her tomorrow. I also have to go to the Early Pregancy Loss clinic tomorrow for some pre-surgery tests and to sign consent forms and such.
This sucks. I can't believe this is happening to us after all we've been through. It's not fair - how can one couple be forced to deal with infertility and a miscarriage too? No one person should have to go through both.
Ironically, now that i'm home, I think it's starting to happen naturally. I have some coloured discharge so that might be the beginning of it all.
DH asked what he could do to help distract me today and I told him I don't want to be distracted today, I want to take today to mourn and grieve this loss and then deal with the idea of moving on another day. He thought that was a good idea and he has reassured me that he thinks I have done everything right, including deciding to not worry about the what ifs. I never allowed the thought that this could happen to enter my mind, I enjoyed being pregnant the entire time and I'm so happy and proud of myself for that. I don't think I am any more devastated today because of that mindset. I highly recommend it. You can't prevent this from happening and worrying about it won't save you from the sorrow. I lived each day joyfully pregnant and I feel blessed to have experienced it for as long as I did.
I hope I get the chance to do it again (for 9 months next time please).

MG- My heart breaks for you and your dh. I've been following your progress since you gave me advice on babycenter.ca last fall. You seem to have such a great attitude and outlook on life and I was so happy for you on your pregnancy. Life sometimes is just unfair! Take care of yourself. SH

I am both shocked and saddened by this news. You are right that it is beyond unfair to struggle with both IF and a miscarriage. It makes me angry at the world. Please take care of yourself, and your DH, right now. Thinking of you.

MG - I'm so sorry for your loss. I am proud of you and share in your approach to enjoy every moment while it comes and while it was here. This way you can have fond memories.
All the best in the days to come. There will be ups and downs, but I know you'll prevail once again.

Hugs go out to you.
Unfortunately, I know all too well as the EXACT same thing happened to us. We went to our 12 week ultrasound, only to find out we had lost the baby at approx. 8 weeks. Like you, it was a missed miscarriage. So glad to hear you enjoyed the pregnancy and have no regrets. You are ABSOLUTELY right that there was nothing you should have done differently. I also would not recommend taking the pill to induce miscarriage. I unfortunately found out the hard way...took the pill and a horrific experience (full on labour pains), only to find out I still had to have a D&C!
Anyway, I am thinking of you....give yourself all the time you need to grieve and mourn, after all that is exactly what you are experiencing.
Take care of yourself and your hubbie....

Oh MG,
I am very sorry you are going through this. You are right, NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH IF and M/C, how unfair it is!! I wish I could take on some of your pain and I applaud you for not hiding your feelings and just mourn. That is really the only healthy way. Many of us on here know that. Too many of us, unfortunately.
I hope you do something special for your angel, and know she or he loved you very much and will be waiting for you with open arms.

MG, my heart also goes out to you at this devastating time. I too felt mad at the world today when I saw your news, it is just so unfair. You are wise to take the time to mourn and fully feel your loss.
I took the pill for my miscarriage but I was only at 6 weeks and it worked for me (but was pretty traumatic). However, if you go the D&C route will they be able to do some tests to find out what went wrong (that may be another reason for going that route)?
You are in my thoughts, hugs to you.

IVF#2 Journal
Leading up to IVF#2 - I had 3 uterine biopsies and I think they did something because my period was heavier and longer than ever. It lasted a full 7 days and was heavy for 2 of those. My lining was definitely affected by the biopsies. I have felt very optimistic and hopeful that this will work this time and even if it doesn't I know I will survive. Physically feeling great, no side effects other than a couple hot flashes from the suprefact.
June 10 - Down Regulation check today. Uterine lining very thin, ovaries nice and quiet - the follicles were very small so she was only able to count 5 or 6 on my right, didn't mention how many on the left. She said more will reveal themselves as they get bigger. As usual, it was difficult to see my uterus and left ovary and it took her some time with the wand. Feeling good!
Day 1: June 11 - first injection tonight. Mentally and emotionally still feeling good but physically I'm feeling awful - headache, crampy, gassy, bloated and my hands are icy cold and aching. They started hurting yesterday and got worse today and now they are cold unless they are tucked in under my legs. Injection hurt just like I remember, the pharmicist tells me it's the repronex.
Day 2: June 12 - started antibiotics this morning. The bottle said to take with food but I was late so I skipped breakfast. I felt very sick by the time I got to work, lesson learned. Feeling better today (other than that little episode). Had a little dark brown discharge tonight. Got a great new haircut last night, feeling great!
Day 3: June 13 - Day 3 of injections, nothing to report except that I've developed a few very large pimples. Going shopping today with mil and gmil.
Day 4: June 14 - day 4 and DH hit a vein tonight. Not too bad, just a bit more painful. I don't look when he injects me but he said tonight when I flexed from the pain, it pushed the needle right out! Luckily the medicine was already injected. Feels fine now. I think I have a touch of food poisoning, had some undercooked chicken for supper.
Day 5: June 15 - had my bloodwork done this morning to check my estrogen levels and everything looks good, the nurse said I am responding very well to this dose. This is when they had to increase the dose last time. My level last time was 480 at this point but today I am over 800. Next check up is Thurs for b/w and u/s. Feeling a little bloated and gassy today, still energized and positive though.
Day 7: June 17 - I'm starting to notice my ovaries (could be gas too). I'm a bit bloated and the injection sites are irritated. I feel best in my sweats. Lots of ewcm started today. I'm tired, I find I don't sleep well on the drugs.
Day 8: June 18 - day 8 u/s this morning, uterine lining on track (around 7mm) and 18-22 follicles on right, 10-12 on left (could be more, it hides). All follicles measuring around 10mm. Estrogen level is around 5000. Woohooo!
Day 9: June 19 - day 9 b/w - Estrogen has shot up to 9000. Lowering my dose to 225 bravelle and 75 repronex.June 20 - Estrogen up to 15,000, still lots of follicles measuring 12 - 15 mm, lining 9.5. Lowered dose again to 150 bravelle plus 75 repronex
Day 11: June 21 - E2 23,000, no injection tonight, hope to trigger tomorrow.
Day 12: June 22 - u/s showed 15 -18 follicles on each side, measuring 17-20mms. Trigger tonight, ER Wed June 24. E2 level is 32,000 so I'm at high risk for OHSS but we decided to go for it
Day 13: June 23 - no needles, no tests today. I'm tired, grumpy, nauseous, bbs are sore. ER is tomorrow
Day 14 ER day: June 24 - ER went well, 23 eggs. June 25 - 15/23 eggs fertilized. I'm sore and a bit bloated plus nauseous from dostinex. no sign of OHSS though
Day 16: June 26 - devastating day - only 4 look to be viable, others are severely fragmented. Need to decide on 3day or 5 day tranfser. Leaning toward 5 day. Will meet with dr on day 3 to decide. Best ones are a 4 cell and a 2 cell.
Day 17 3dt: June 27 - met with dr, decided on 3 day transfer. 2 of the embryos took off over night and have become "beautiful" 8 cell embies, graded 18/20 with less than 10% fragmentation. Transferred those plus a 6 cell grade 17 with little fragmentation.
June 10 - Down Regulation check today. Uterine lining very thin, ovaries nice and quiet - the follicles were very small so she was only able to count 5 or 6 on my right, didn't mention how many on the left.

Note to Self:
Read and re-read while PUPO:Enjoy this time of not knowing. Keep hope close to you and do not poas. It will be inconclusive. The best way to spend these 2 weeks is imagining pregnancy and motherhood. Imagine that this has worked and you will soon know for sure - we are pregnant!Keep hope alive until the very last minute, until you go for your beta and know for sure. Keep the dream alive, keep the fantasy alive. Do not give in to your thoughts of poas. Wait for the beta and keep hoping and dreaming.Love, Yourself in saner moments
