IUI 2/8/22
Hi guys. A little back story on me and my infertility journey. I am 40 years old. My husband and I have been TTC since September of 2017. Since then we have had at least 3 miscarriages on record. The first 2 were confirmed blood tests but I lost before the first ultrasound. My last miscarriage was September 2021 at 10 weeks and 1 day I started spotting and when I went in we had lost the heartbeat. We decided to do a dnc to see if we could get answers. The results from Kaiser took almost 2 months to get back. I was pregnant with a son. And he came back positive for Down syndrome. My doctor reassured me that it was unlikely to happen again this way and after a few months of mourning we decided to start trying again. February is our second round of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> with this doctor. I am pregnant. I want to be so excited. But today we went to our first ultrasound and there was no flicker, no heartbeat. According to my last period I should be 7 weeks today. We saw the yolk sac and the fetus attached. The fetus is measuring a bit smaller than expected. But my HCG levels still went up today compared to last week. I am devastated but want to have a little hope. The doctor wants to do another ultrasound on Friday to see if we get a heartbeat. I really need a miracle guys. Please keep us in your prayers. Anyone else go through something like this and get a heartbeat the second go? This week would have been my due date with my boy. And this baby is supposed to be due the week of my birthday. I’m praying for a miracle.
