I am on my fifth pregnancy (on the books, that is, but I know I had more before I was able to realize what was happening, if that makes sense). I also have one child. I wanted to say thank you for sharing such a difficult journey with the world. The past two weeks, I've regularly checked on you to make sure you hit the next milestone (so far, we're both good!). But I know, too, that there feels like no certainty to this until you hold that baby in your arms. Most of all, I wanted to say that I really admire how strong you are. I have had to disassociate myself (for now) from my friends, especially the pregnant ones as I cannot cope well (even over the phone) given the circumstances. I really admire that you are excited to see your sister and her new baby. I don't feel strong enough (yet) to positively interact with some and you give me a lot of courage. I'll keep silently following along and hoping for the best for you. You are an inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-58532170892489415772015-09-17T14:15:45.848-04:002015-09-17T14:15:45.848-04:00Ugh, I can't imagine the whirlwind in your bra...Ugh, I can't imagine the whirlwind in your brain right now :( You've been through way more of this than I have, so I really can't offer much, but you've done all you could - so at this point it already is whatever it is. You just have to wait for the time to pass I think. And try not to lose it :) I made it my practice to go hug or kiss or cuddle my girl any time I was about to lose it when I was TTC #2 and having RPL. The weight of her, the smell of her, gave me a very concrete reminder of all I already had. Not that that's necessarily enough - but it is in some way. You know.

For what it's worth I would get the ultrasound. I know the lack of heartbeat is frustrating at this stage even though you KNOW it's not supposed to be there yet. But at least you will have a first measurement so when you go for your next ultrasound you will know growth is on track which to me is a huge reassurance. So excited for you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278671489455807595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-31839144452097415242015-09-17T12:54:56.348-04:002015-09-17T12:54:56.348-04:00Hoping for the best for you, Mo.

If ...I agree that knowledge is always a good thing. If there was any chance at all that NOT going in for the ultrasound would mean you could just kick back and enjoy your blissfully ignorant weekend gap in monitoring, I'd say blow it off, but we both know THAT'S not going to happen.<br /><br />And I like your thoughts on honoring this time in this pregnancy for what it is. I think that's a healthy and damned practical way to approach the mind-fuck that is this stage in a much-wanted pregnancy. <br /><br />Also--I think your odds are much better this time around. When I look back on my one success and so many losses, it's the 'let's throw everything at this one' approach that worked, and we never DID figure out which was the magic key. Whether it's the IVIG, or the gluten free or the prednisone or the lovenox, SOMETHING in there worked with Miss Magpie, and I think there's excellent reason to think it might work again.<br /><br />And to that end, I am wishing & hoping so very much for you! Go little embryo, GO! Hang in there! (& you too, because, damn, this is the hardest time.) Thinking of you & hoping for lovely clear pictures tomorrow showing EXACTLY what should be there right now.
