I'm so very sorry, and so wish that this could have ended differently. I don't know what else to say. As you said, five years from now you'll still be a strong, healthy, happy woman, whether you're a mother or not - but I wish this cycle could have been a miraculous success.

Hi Sarah. I am so sorry. I too have struggled with IVF and have been drawn to your story and your commitment to this process. I have Prayed for you everyday.

I am so sorry. I know right now nothing really helps.

I'll continue to keep your in my Prayers.

I am so sorry, Sarah.

I don't know if this helps, but your kid is (or soon will be) out there. And this child is going to need you. You are going to be a mom, don't give up hope!!

And I think it's very interesting you had a dream about adoption last night...your subconscious was just trying to remind you not to give up on the dream of motherhood.

Just a lurker who has been following your journey...I too have been through IUI and IVF hell for over 2 years, with only a chemical pregnancy that lasted all of a week to show for it. I am so sorry to hear that this cycle did not work out for you. Keep your head up...you will be a momma some day, and there are many ways to get there. I am now considering donor egg...some 22 year olds eggs have got to be better than my 42 year old ones...It is a process...but it is a baby I want and I realize that genetics is not the be all end all...once they put a baby in your arms, it is yours and you will love them, and you will be their momma. I wish you all the best.

Oh Sarah, words fail me. I can't even imagine how devastated you must feel...I am beyond shocked and sorry at this news.

Meg said...

I'm so very sorry.

A said...

I'm shocked... and so sorry.

I guess that is closure, isn't it?

Take care of yourself. Drink lots, cry if you need to...
We're all thinking of you over on the ff recyclers board.
*hugs*

Oh gawd, Sarah. Hope is such a bitch, and that marker positive stuff ... well, just not fair. There's nothing I can say to make this better, of course, but I hope you can continue to process all of this in the spirit of your recent epiphany. But still, it just sucks and there's no way around that.

((((Sarah)))))

Feel your grief, of course. But dont forget Sarah, that your "heart cracked open".

IVF#8 is not the end, it is your beginning.

Most fondly,
Margaret (a stalker and supporter for along time, but have never posted. You have inspired and enthralled me on so many occassions with your incredible wit and gut wrenching honesty....And damn girl you can write. If poking people with needles doesnt work out, think "author".)

So sorry this has happened to you.

tobacco brunette said...

I've been following you for a while, but don't think I've commented before. Just wanted you to know how sorry I am to hear your news. Just really, really sorry.

CamilleB said...

I too have been following your story for sometime, I come from the smc board. I am so very sorry, it is so not fair. This may be the end of this particular path but it does not have to be the end for your dream of being a mom. Sending hope, peace and love your way.

Anonymous said...

It is so not fair. I am so sorry Sarah.

Please be kind to yourself.

I'm so sorry Sarah. I really am. I know how badly you wanted a bio child. I secretly wish you'd do donor embryos. I know that you were afraid that there was an extremely slim chance that you wouldn't feel the same as you would as a bio child. But, I don't think that is possible for you. You just would love the child with all your heart, it's just a leap of faith. But only you knoww what is right for you, of course. Good luck, and I'm really looking forward to reading about the next chapters in your life with our without children.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!! Sarah, I'm so, so sorry it went this way. Yes, your heart did open recently, but that doesn't mean you don't get to feel bad about this. Take your time, and take care of yourself. Sending many hugs south and a little east, straight to you. Love, Kate
