We did the ultra sound today. No heart beat. At 7 weeks, 4 days-- there ought to be one. We ended up cutting our day short and came home to grieve. Tomorrow we go back for surgery- then I'll take a few days off to heal. We can't thank everyone enough for all the support and encouragement you've given us on this journey-- I don't think we can continue it anymore. It's just too painful and we need to take care of ourselves and our hearts and get back to the process of living. Hugs to you all still on your journey--

Oh Ellie - I am SO sorry.

Bea said...

I was afraid of this. I was so hoping it wouldn't happen again. I'm so very sorry. I'm sure you'll make the right decision about the future together once you've had a chance to heal, and if that means moving on, I wish you all the peace and joy in the world.

I'm so very sorry. It hurts to read it. And there are no words to describe the unfairness of you going through this yet again. The IF world is a microcosm of unfairness and injustice.

If you can, please keep us updated as I'll be back to check on you.

I'm so sorry, elle, this is just awful. You must feel like you're cursed or something, getting struck by lightning twice like this. Take all the time you need to grieve, and don't make any decisions yet, it's not the right time when things are so raw and awful.

Thinking of you.

Meg said...

Oh Ellie.

I don't know how to begin to tell you how sorry I am.

This is just too much to bear. I'm sorry for your loss of another dream.
I can imagine that all you want now is to move away from this painful journey forever.
Where ever you go next, taking time to heal is the first step to take.

Have a wonderful time in Paris. Getting away for Christmas is a great idea. We did it last year and had a great vacation.

Bonne vacances!
