My story

Shandi

My husband and I have a 5 year old daughter we suffered a miscarriage before she was born we decided to try again. I was terrified threw my whole pregnancy with her I had multiple er visits and er dr told us she had no heartbeat our hearts broke immediately not again! I waited two weeks to have another ultrasound bc I refused d&c; sure enough her heart was just fine and as strong as could be! Fast forward 5 years September 18 this year I got my first positive pregnancy test after 15 months of trying multiple fertility appointments and one surgery to remove all scar tissue in my uterus. I was scheduled to start my <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> treatments a few days after the BFP! My husband and I felt so lucky our hearts so full our daughter would finally have a sibling. Unfortunately our happiness got shattered I had a ultra sound where the yolk sac was to large I believe at that appointment it was a 5 the heart beat was 100. it I lost it. I waited another week went back in heart rate 86 and the sac was now a 7 nurse told me when the heart completely stops we would terminate. I felt like my heart stopped and I couldn’t breath I called my husband he said get a second opinion so I did my ob seen me later that same day but this time the heart beat was gone and the outcome the same. I waited another week to be 100% sure the ultrasound showed again no heart beat no growth and the large yolk sac yet again I went in October 25th for a d&c.; I can’t help but feel lost and completely sad I have been clinging to my daughter. My husband is supportive but I feel he could be more sympathetic towards me he keeps saying it’s good to know we can convince on our own we will get our baby there’s always next month! I want to scream at him when he says this but I know he means well and maybe it’s his way of dealing ? Idk I just had to get my story out there for me to write it down thank you to all who takes time to read and understand how truly difficult this is.
