Many thanks to the universe

In a nutshell, it was nice while it lasted.

The OB is 95% sure I'm going to miscarry. There's sac growth - enough that there should be plenty of evidence of life within them - but there's still no sign of anyone. Just two gaping black holes staring vacantly out from the computer monitor.

To cover their assess, the OB suggested I go back Wednesday for ultrasound #5. If I haven't miscarried by then, he said.

We are comfortably numb.

And I am a spectacular failure.

Notes From The Couch said...

I dont know what to say because my words dont matter....what do i know about your pain, nothing....how is anything i say can mean anything to a woman who had endured so much that it makes me sick to think, it is still not the end for your journey....but you are not a failure, if anything you are a person i am proud to know and a woman i wish to be, if i am ever in a life wrenching pain you are in. You are in my thoughts...I wish i could say or do more...i really do...my heart breaks for you...I am so sorry

niobe said...

That's just devastating. I can't begin to express how sorry I am and how monstrously unfair this is.

(also, you are so not a failure).

DinosaurD said...

When will the universe realize that you are too tough a nut to crack - no matter how much is thrown at you? And that alone makes you several times removed from being a failure.
I've been in your position enough times to know how difficult it is to wait for future ultrasounds when things are not looking good. I will be thinking of you guys a lot for the next few days.
And tell me why it is that I think of Thomas so often when I look at my daughter?????
Hugs, hugs and more hugs.

Ps. You are not even for one second a failure.

mylove4my3 said...

Well, I am new to writing you, but I have been following your story since ivillage... I am so terribly sorry for your news, but keep thinking about my story. I went to have a D&C almost 3 years ago, because I was told by 3 Doctors that the sac was empty. One very last US before the procedure revealed a HB. I am SO hoping this will be your story as well!! And please don't think so badly of yourself, I wish I was half the woman you are.

L said...

I'm so sorry.
(((hugs)))

BTW, I agree, the ultrasounds over and over are the worst and no, you are not a failure. Never.

SWH said...

I know it doesn't help much to hear that i don't think you are a failure...

It is unfair and horrible.

I am so sorry.

Lori said...

Oh, I just never, ever expected to hear this. I really didn't...

I'm so sorry. It may be foolish of me, but I am going to hold onto hope just a little longer.

I understand your numbness, and even your feelings of failure (although I hope you know intellectually that you are wrong, even if it feels that way emotionally).

Abby said...

I wish there were some magic words that could take away your pain, but since I know there aren't, I'll just say I'm so, so sorry and I'm here if you need anything at all.

H&S and prayers tonight and always...

The Asbury Family said...

I'm so sad for the loss of all of the promise that this new pregnancy gave you.

Huge ((hugs)) to you and yours for this big blow. I'm so deeply sad for you. (and I'm hopeful that by some small miracle you prove that Dr. wrong and have a good next apt.).

I'm so sorry it wasn't the joyful, reassuring apt you (and we) were hoping for.

((hugs))

Clare said...

Kristin, I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts.

Rosepetal said...

I am so sad for you Kristin. This is so hard, all the hope that came with this pregnancy makes it even harder to have it dashed down again. Much love to you.

Lisa P. said...

Kristin, I wish I knew something better to say than I'm sorry... it seems so little comfort I'm sure, but know that I would do more if I could. ((((((hugs))))))

Anonymous said...

Kristin,

I just don't know what to say. I'm so, so very sorry. Many (((hugs))) to you and Sandy. P&PT coming your way too. I'm just so sorry.

missing_one said...

Oh..I'm sorry hun.
*hugs*

delphi said...

I wish that the words "I'm sorry" were enough to convey what I am feeling for you right now. They are not.

But, I am so, SO sorry.

Valerie said...

I am so sorry. I know there is nothing anyone can say that anyone can say to make you feel better. But will continue to hope and pray wed. ultrasound results are different. Just curious, but are your HCG levels still rising? Will your dr. wait for them to start dropping before doing anything?

I hope you and your beloved are sitting, holding one another and eating much chocolate.

BasilBean said...

Kristin, I want you to know I am thinking of you

Margaret said...

Carrie said...

Failure doesn't come in to it....but heartbreak does. I'm so sorry, I wish there was something I could say that would actually help. But I know there isn't. I'm sorry.
