Someone recently asked me if I would be willing to share my story (blog about it) and I told them I had started to at the beginning but that I hadn't written since my last BFP. I realized it was time. The last I posted I was pregnant and feeling really good about it. I saw the heartbeat twice and everything seemed to be moving along. I went bra shopping since I had grown quite a bit in the first 7 weeks and I needed a bra to sleep in, since let me tell you, rolling out of bed to go to the bathroom and forgetting to hold on to them was soooo painful!!!!
Anyway, my sister had been coming with me to all of my ultrasounds and at my 8 week u/s we got bad news. The baby had stopped growing sometime in the last week. No heartbeat and stalled growth. My doctor told me there was nothing I did or could do differently. I'd like to think that I believed him, but I did not. I thought about the 1st yoga class I'd taken the week before. 1st one since the BFP, but he said no exercise didn't do this. The fetus was more than likely missing some information that it needed when it got to the 7 week mark. I made the decision for a D&C the next day so we could possibly get some genetic information on why I lost the baby. I went to work! Yup, I needed to keep busy, I couldn't collapse. Well, I did collapse in the bathroom at my dr.s and my poor sister heard me crying through the door as well as the nurses and they were wonderful with her. Pulled her aside and talked to her while they waited for me.
So D&C the next day, I walked to the surgi-center since its only 2 block from my home and then my dad picked me up after and brought me back to their place to recup for the day.
8 months and 6 more IUIs later, and its time for IVF. I think I finally updated this blog so I could start blogging about pulling out the big guns! So hopefully in the next day or two I will start and I won't quit writting until I have a baby, whether its through IVF or fostering to adopt!!!!!!
