R.I.P. Peanut

Peanut died on Labor Day. At my first OBGYN appt, first one ever in my life as an OB visit, the OB couldn't hear the h/b but we were giggling over the fact that I had chili for dinner last night and the noises in my bowel were making it impossible to hear over. So she sent me for an u/s, which is in a different building, across a busy road. A brusk male doctor did the u/s and told me very matter of fact that there was no h/b. He sent me back across the street to the OB, so I got to cry my way across Route 9 and walk into a room of giant fat pregnant ladies wondering why I was blubbering. The OB took me in right away and was very kind and told me that the growth showed 9w4d, so it looks like Peanut died on Labor Day, how's that for painful irony? And I got my IVF BFN on Mother's Day. I swear someone "up there" hates me. D&E scheduled for Friday.

I'll talk more in coming days about how I think I might be done with TTC. If a miracle happens naturally - which is what we thought this one was (suckers) - then yippee, but I don't think I can do stims anymore and my body responds badly to them anyway. For now I just want to crawl under a rock for a few days. I guess at least until NoodleGuy has to drag me to the D&E.

  1. Oh God, this horrible news. I'm so sorry. This isn't freaking fair, and I can't blame you for feeling like someone "up there" hates you. It's just. not. right.
    Wish I could come through the interwebs and give you a hug right now. I'm just so sad for you and know how much you must be hurting.
    I'll be thinking about you...

  2. Oh my god. Oh god Noodlegirl. When I read the title of this post I thought NO. NO. NO!
    I don't even know what to say.
    I'm crying right now for you. This is so unfair. So so so unfair.
    Thinking of you and sending you love.

  3. I'm so, so sorry. What a horrible shock and how cruel of the ape man to treat you so matter-of-factly. You and your Peanut are in my thoughts.

  4. I'm so sorry. I'm crying as I type this. You don't deserve this. Life is so cruel and I don't know why this keeps happening to people. I'm so sad for you. I don't blame you for stepping back from all of this. It all just sucks. I wish I could hug you in person but know that I am thinking of you.

  5. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. There really aren't words for it, for how it feels, or to make anything better. But I am sorry.
