This morning we got an email from our doctor stating that the HCG level did not rise enough to indicate a viable pregnancy. We knew the odds of this attempt working were about 50% and that if it didn’t work this time we will try again.
Actually we have accepted since Friday that this attempt had basically not worked. Amber and I deal with bad news differently and we have been trying to deal with it each in our own way. In her heart, Amber really wanted this to work. Brian had a conference to attend this past weekend that kept him distracted. Fortunately both of us were together to support each other when the news came. It helps that we know and have some certainty about what the next step is and we can look forward to that.
Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful comments and emails. It really helps us to feel like we are on a shared journey.
Not what I wanted to hear!! Well, you guys are troopers and I know this is not the end.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to be there for each other. I know how much you love each other. It helps.

My deepest sympathies go out to you. Keep the faith and continue to look forward to the next steps in your journey. All my best to you both.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are also going to achieve this as you've worked SO damn hard to. Take some time out (again...) and then kick off the next plan, which we know you'll already have in place.
ReplyDeleteBig hug.
I am sorry guys, I feel your pain through your posts. I'll be thinking of you guys!
ReplyDeleteAmber and Brian,
ReplyDeleteI am so terribly saddened by this news. I cannot believe you got another negative. It just sucks so much!!!I am thinking of you and wishing this was the last negative news you will hear on your journey to have a child. Good luck on your next step.
