fionaw is an unknown at this point
Default My pregnancy is no more

I don't really know what to say. Yesterday at 6 weeks and 6 days I went for an OB appointment. She did a routine scan and couldn't find a heartbeat. She said there were irregularities with the sac, but I wasn't really listening at that point.

I am going in for a curette tomorrow. I don't think I could hack letting the miscarriage happen naturally.

I've been quite sad. Husband came back from interstate where he was working this week and will be with me tomorrow. Mum burst into tears when I told her, and Dad was also upset. My brother has just gone to London and I don't know how to tell him. This would have been their first grandchild / nephew and with my brother being gay I'm their best hope, so to speak.

I guess it just wasn't our time. It took us 2 years to fall pregnant. I have PCOS so we knew it would take a while. We hadn't been stressing about being pregnant, counting cycles or anything. It was so lovely when it happened.

The nearly two weeks we thought we were having a baby were lovely. A lovely surprise, perfect timing for work and everything just falling into place. oh well.

Fiona

Oh Fiona! I am so sorry honey! Don't know what to say, but just want to send you heaps of I too have PCOS and have been TTC for months. I won't say I know how you feel because I don't, but I DO know that it hurts.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Yeah. We had a heartbeat at our previous early scan. After my OB did a scan in her rooms I was sent upstairs for a proper one which confirmed the diagnosis.

I am so sorry for your loss... We also had been trying, for a year, then got pregnant and had a m/c at 6 weeks... i felt the same as you, there was no reason for it, but these things just happen. Then, six months later we got pregnant again and this time everything is fine... a yr after the first m/c and we are about to have our baby.... i know its hard, but you will be successful with a little bub, just remember that it takes time.

I'm so sorry. Noone can explain how hard it is to lose an angel. You must have felt awful at the unltrasound. I was in the same position and it was a terrible time. I came through it and you will too. Take care of yourself

I'm so sorry for your loss Fiona, sending huge hugs for you.
I found out with my first angel baby at an u/s just like you did, I was 10 weeks & it had taken us 14 months to concieve. It's a massive shock, I really feel for you.
Let yourself cry hun & take care
