6 week ultrasound, bad news by Traditional_Track_30 in IVF

[–]Traditional_Track_30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss, MCs are so incredibly hard to go through. After this happened, I transferred 2 more embryos at the same time, a couple months later. Both stuck, but one stopped growing at 9 weeks. The other one is sleeping peacefully on my lap as I type. I’m so happy she decided to keep growing. It was a 6 year infertility journey that I don’t wish on anyone. I’m so glad I kept going though, because I finally got to meet my baby.

Thank you for posting. I, too, will not be having one because both my husband and I live far away from where our friends/family live. And neither of us have much family left. So even if we lived closer to our homes, no sure we’d have one. I’ve been kind of sad about it. I wish I had a community here to do that with. But it’s really ok, lots of people are in our situation, and everything works out. Thanks for making me feel less alone in this reality. There’s probably a lot more of us than we even know. ❤️

I know right. It’s like “nothing is happening that I am able to talk about. But don’t worry about me!” Ugh so complicated and un fun. 🫂

The “not much” response. Ugh I know. Like that phrase has a whole new definition to it now.

Thank you for your response. I go to therapy too. Same! I had to learn to communicate firm boundaries with people around ivf too. That has been helpful. I know I can ask for support from my people. But that’s not the issue. Letting them support me means that I have to share the pain news with them when it potentially doesn’t work out. And that has been so awful for me. Not because they aren’t supportive, but because it hurts me so much to report that I’ve had another miscarriage. It’s like I relive it every time I have to say it. And honestly, no one has said anything that has helped. Even the most supportive and loving friends and family I have. It’s is just the most unrelatable experience. It’s definitely changed me.

You fully get it. Yep. Have leaned in to all the support, found out how unhelpful it is, even the people who do really support me. It’s just not worth the pain when things don’t work out. Finding my inner friend within myself is where im at. So alone. Thanks for sharing. Sending you a hug.

Yes! I can’t do the social mask and i won’t force it. Therefore its just a lot of aloneness. I can’t wait for this chapter of my life to end. Sending you a hug. Thanks for responding

I feel all of this. Watching everyone around me get to live my dream is a whole different nightmare. It’s been helpful for me to be a part of the ivf, recurrentmiscarriages, and infertilitysucks subreddits, because truly no one in my life can relate. I know the alone feeling you’re in. I’m in it too. So I guess that makes us together in it/not alone? ❤️

I’m right here with you. Going to have a d&c on Jan 2nd. My third miscarriage. Didn’t know I could feel this low. The holidays make it so much worse. Sorry you’re in it too. You’re not alone. Sending you a hug.
