We were in for a dating ultrasound on Tuesday morning, where the baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks (we should have been 9 weeks), and there was no heartbeat.

Currently on day two of the Misoprostol, comfy at home.

We had discussed beforehand that this would be our last try. I have very bad morning/day/night sickness each time, and the weight fluctuations are very hard on my body. We were on progesterone, baby aspirin, additional vitamins and acupuncture. Our first pregnancy was problem free and is almost 5 years old, and we have been pregnant 6 times since her, all losses between 7 and 10 weeks.

When the ultrasound tech told us the news, and I replied that this would be our last, she responded "Well don't give up!!"

I found it very crass and not helpful, because 6 attempts should count as something. Instead of us torturing ourselves with this every month and dealing with blood tests and doctor's appointments and concerned family and friends, why is it not okay to say that we tried as hard as we could, and just move on and move forward with our daughter. Would 10 miscarriages be the cut off for this ultrasound tech? Sorry for the rant!
