I'm 37 and have been happily married since Sept. 2002. Ivan is truly my companion in life. Our TTC journey has felt like a never ending roller coaster ride. We had an ectopic PG in Dec. 04 and in April 05 found out my IF is due to tubal abnormality. We were told IVF was our only hope. July 05 we did IVF # 1 and it was a chemical PG. We did IVF # 2 in Oct. 05 and it was a BFN. In Jan. 06 we did a combined fresh and frozen embryo transfer and it was a BFN. We were determined not to give up our dream of having a baby. IVF # 4 was in April 06. The cycle worked like a charm and on December 20, 2006 we were blessed with Hannah and Matthew.

Waiting for the inevitable....
I spent the day today trying not to think, trying not to feel anything. My beta today was 36. The doctor explained that it could either be an ectopic or I am going to miscarry (started spotting today). Everything she said I had already told myself. There was no need for questions because I know what the answers are. I have to go back on Monday for another beta and then we will proceed. There is no hope, it died a long time ago... thank you infertility...just another thing you took from me. 8/21/05Another day of waiting, another day of pain. I'm angry that this is happening. I'm angry that I allowed myself to actually believe that it was going to work out. I knew there was a problem from the beginning but I wanted to believe so badly. I hate that believing in a dream and wanting something can be such a scary and painful thing.

Another thing to add to my list of questions to ask God when I get up there because I just don't get it.
I am so sorry.

Stay strong Liz, cry as much as you want, and don't give up hope in having a baby. I know the pain of a m/c and failed cycles. It feels as if it leaves a hole in your heart where all your hopes and dreams are draining out, sometimes to help let go of the hurt. Remember that no matter how spent you feel, the incredible love, caring, and joy you have to give a child is still inside you and those things will help fill your heart again!
Take time to mourn but don't give up hope.
