I can't remember if I ever posted an update or not....


Well, we did lose the baby. It's okay. We're okay. We were very happy to finally know that it CAN happen! It'll happen again. I'm on BCPs and we have a follow up post IVF M/C appointment with the RE on the 20th.

I'm so sorry Erica. I know how devastating it is to try and try, finally succeed, only to m/c. But I have faith that it will work again for you and this time the little bean will stick tight.

Let us know how your appointment goes on the 20th.

Erica,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish I could do something to make the pain go away. Your attitude is so positive though, and that is a BIG factor in this whole IF game. Good luck getting back on track, and know that YES! It can and WILL happen soon!
