Time to say good bye
One hour after the nice nurse drew my blood we walked in to Dr. Swedish's office.
One glance confirmed my fears.
He said in a low voice: "I'm sorry Circus Princess, it's not good news".
"Your hcg has dropped to 800".
With a tiny sound my heart broke into a thousand little pieces.
Deep down I knew it was coming.
The bleeding that wouldn't stop.
The lack of tender breasts when I woke up Monday morning.
A sobering feeling of no longer being pregnant.
But I wanted it so badly.
My wish was so deep and my prayers so intense.
I nurtured that speck of hope after seeing our impossible ultrasound on Sunday.
Now I have to say good bye.
Our acrobat is gone.
Tonight I'll cry myself to sleep.

I am so sorry. This is the most difficult part of IF that I have had to deal with so I know how absolutely crushing it is. Please take good care of yourself and your husband during this difficult time. I am sending you hugs and strength.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I now kind of know how you feel, and it's a dark place to be. I wish I could give you a hug--I think we could both use one. Like you said to me yesterday, just take time to feel each thing as it comes. And try to take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I don't know what to say to be of some comfort to you...I can't imagine how difficult this is and how much you're hurting. Take care of yourself as you grieve and know that we're all thinking of you and offering you a shoulder to cry on. *hugs*

ReplyDeleteOh CC, I am so very sorry. We were all pulling for you and little Acrobat with every fiber of our beings. I have been where you are and and IVF loss seems so much worse than other losses because you put so much work and hope and effort into it, it's the Holy Grail.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, nothing else I say will help ease the ache in your heart. ALL loss, ANY loss is hard regardless of what you did to achieve that pregnancy and it's so very unfair for it to be snatched away.
