[Guest guest]

Crystal,

I am so sorry things didn't work out this time. Don't feel bad for feeling

discouraged. I only knew that I was pregnant for one week when the same

thing happened to me. It was like a truck hit me. (Twice, it was a surprise

pregnancy). I was a lot more upset than I thought for a lot longer than I

thought I would be. Hang in there.

Hmmmmmm. Your doctor is right about the stats, but I'm not sure

about the part about the embryo never forming. Sometimes it's a

normal embryo that can't finish implanting properly. Whatever the

case, if you feel as if you lost a loved child, and you feel like

grieving that child, don't let someone tell you otherwise. Lots of

IVF couples save photographs of their little cell clusters and

consider them to be children of a sort. It's what you make of it. I

had a couple of those kinds of very early miscarriages myself.

I'm glad that you see a silver lining in your loss. I also felt a

little heartened by the one I lost this past summer, as well as by my

first biochemical pregnancy, which I lost between 4 & 5 weeks. But

you know, a live baby would have been better. I know you know how

that goes.

Keep the faith!

Thanks alot Beth! I am grieving over my loss, but I still have a 6 year old

daughter to take care of. So I must suck it up the best that I can for her sake.

I will make it through this & hopefully I will never lose my faith. I know that

god never gives you what you cannot handle & that this happened to me

specifically for a reason. I have had a lot of pregnancy related problems within

my family over the past 4 years. My sister and her husband both carry a

recessive gene that when it combines in the gene pairs of the embroys dna

structure causes a deadly defect in the urea cycle. She carried a baby 35 weeks

that presented normal in all ways even when she gave birth, but once the baby

was out of the womb & had to use its on urea cycle in the liver to break down

certain foods it rarely survives. Needless to say, her baby went into a coma

after its first feeding and died a week later. The baby went into labor because

its body was not getting rid of amonia like it should & it became toxic waste

inside the body. Anyways, that baby was born in Jan 98 & since then she has had

three more pregnancies 2 in which the babies survived & 1 in which through

genetic testing the doctors were able to tell that the baby had the defect and

she had to terminate at 20 weeks. So, our situations are not always the worst

situations. I must be thankful for that.

Your right. I absolutely agree with you that if I had been much farther along

then this incident would have been much more devastating. I am very thankful

that I did not have to deal with being much farther along. Thanks.

LOL)

Sending lots of good baby vibes your way!

Sounds like you are actually pregnant! How lucky of you! I have been TTC for

the last four months without any success! I will have post-coital test around

O-day this month and progesterone test one week afterwards. My dr. says I may

need clomid. I think I may need an IUI, too.

Good luck and keep us posted!

quiet list today! I've been doing reading, some journal writing, NOT weighing, being present at at least one meal per day (as in not reading or watching a movie). I'm walking every day and I really enjoy that. I've bought my year old puppy a raincoat to prepare for winter. Soon I better buy one for me! Last year during our rainy season he wasn't old enough to be out on the street. OH... someone wrote me thinking I meant a "cockatoo", a bird, instead of cockapoo, a dog that is half cocker spaniel and half poodle--I'm sorry I didn't get around to answering because I love hearing from you all!! Next week I will be at a conference and I am so glad that this year I won't have to have the "uh oh" I'm off my diet feeling. I can just pay attention, stop at a 5, and be OK. I hope

everyone is having a day with lots of successes! Lynne
