Beta Day

Last night I had the most beautiful dream. I dreamt that I had never miscarried last summer and it was time to meet my baby. I was woken from my sleep by some stomach cramping and within two short minutes, my baby was out and he was beautiful.

I didn't want to wake up. I don't want this dream to be over. I will never be pregnant. I will never experience the movement or the feeling of a baby inside me.

Walking into my local RE for this mornings test was probably the hardest thing I have had to do in the last four years. I thought I was ok, I thought I was prepared. I was wrong. I'm so profoundly sad that things did not work they way we all hoped and thought they would. The pain of this latest failure will be with me for a long time - probably forever.

I just can't believe that I'm back in this place yet again.

  2. I am sorry your dream isnt real. We all wished for so much more for you.

    Pain like this never goes away. It is true. It becomes a part of you.

    I look back on my life and it still hurts, but it is who I am. I cannot change my story.

    You have all my love today and everyday R.

  18. I am so sorry. I found your blog a week ago and I have been hoping you would have success. I was a few days ahead of you in my donor cycle and I also did not get pregnant. This was our last attempt and I understand what you are going through. Words can't describe your loss.
