fucking infertility
I am so angry. I am so sad.
Infertility is so unfair. It takes so much.
I met a woman in November who sees my doctor. We became fast friends – we ended up cycling together for my first IVF cycle, her second. She had retrieval one day after me.
They put back two embryos – absolutely beautiful blasts. She was pregnant. The surprise was that one of those blasts had split into identical twins – so she was pregnant with triplets.
She did everything she was supposed to do. She was already on house rest, she was going to the local perinatal group for pre-term labor checks. She was 21 weeks, 5 days.
She lost all three babies this morning.
I did the only thing I knew to do – I went up there and gave her a hug. I cannot fathom her pain.

i’m so very sorry. how absolutely heartbreaking. i will forever hurt for the loss of a child…any child…it just shouldn’t happen.
Oh Mrs. Hope, I’m so sorry for your friend’s loss. I can’t imagine her pain.
How awful. I hope that when the time is right (if it ever is) you’ll tell her we were all thinking of her.
It’s absolutely horrifying the things people go through. I can’t imagine her rage and sorrow. I’m so sorry.
Oh mrs. hope, that is so unfair and just horrible. I am so sorry for your friend.
((HUGS))
There are no words…
I am so sorry for your friend, Mrs. Hope. You’re a fabulous friend to hug her and let her know you’re there… not fixing something that can’t be fixed or giving worthless advice — just being there. I can’t imagine the pain. I just can’t.
Terrible. I can’t imagine your friend’s sadness. I am sure your hug meant the world to her.
That is rough. I just don’t get the randomness of the hand of fertility.
That is so terrible. Please pass my condolences to her.
gasp! (tears) speachless.
I cannot imagine.
That is such a terrible story – I’m so sorry that she has had to go through so much and I can’t imagine what pain she must be in right now. So sad!
So incredibly unfair. I’ve sat here at the keyboard for a full 5 minutes, fingers poised, trying to figure out what to type.
It’s just not fair. I’m praying for your friend and her family.
-D.
Oh, what a terrible loss. I’m sorry for your friend.
