I am hoping it may be too early to see the fetal heartbeat. Trying to stay positive. I will go back for another ultrasound on Monday and hopefully will hear some good news.

Fingers crossed for you, OP. That wait sounds totally agonizing. How far were you at this scan and what will you be at the next one? My first scan is in 5 days and I’m just so full of dread. My breasts hurt less than a few days ago and I’m less nauseous. If/when the scan comes back poorly, I’m just going to be crushed. This is so hard, it’s unfair it’s so easy for some and so hard for others.

Thank you. This scan was measuring at 6 weeks 4 days. I should be about 7 1/2 weeks on the day of that ultrasound. I totally understand your feeling. My breast hurt less too and I find myself feeling worried over a lack of symptoms. My fingers crossed for you too!

OP here. Sigh. 9 weeks. Missed miscarriage. embryo stopped developing at 6 1/2. Now waiting for it to pass naturally. And then we try IVF again. 3rd time and probably last cycle we can (barely) afford.

I'm so sorry, OP. Sending you hugs and I hope that you heal quickly. I really, really hope three is the charm for you. I do think the fact that you conceived naturally is a good sign and wish you success and happiness with your next cycle. It really is a numbers game sometimes. Take care.

PP from above here. Yep, I had a miscarriage too. I'm really sorry yours didn't work out, OP. This was our third natural conception after 3 failed IVF cycles and I think I'm about done. Would you consider donor eggs? After so many losses and failed cycles, I think that's our only option. I'm not sure what we're going to do, but for now we're taking a break and letting the emotions settle. Sending hugs if you want them.

Thank you for your kind words.

I’m so sorry to hear that. It shouldn’t have to be this hard. Sending you healing thoughts and best of luck for whatever is next.

We haven’t had the discussion of donor eggs. I don’t know how I fell about that yet. Hugs.
