No longer. Suffice it to say, my wife (def no pics) has a condition such that a baby boy has a 50% chance of death/miscarriage. On ultrasound today, he was no longer with us. No heartbeat.

Not a gotcha post for the picking from the post a few weeks ago. That's just funny and good conversation. It's just a reminder to be always thankful for the good times and good things you do have, not to be bitter and mad or sad about what you don't. That's the lesson and point of this follow up post. Little Jameson has been a blessing for the short time he was with us.

I'll be fine. But it's tough for his momma.
Send her some prayers. She doesn't deserve this. She's in an obviously more...direct position. And especially send some prayers for him on his way. Love your loved ones and all that hippie stuff.

Damn, man. I wish only the best for you and your wife. I cannot even imagine the pain that goes along with this. We have been fortunate so far and have not lost a pregnancy.

Do you mind expounding? I wasn't aware there were such conditions that were so gender-specific.

your wife got a sister you can make a baby with?

The OT can usually count on you to bring a certain level of douchery to most threads.

its actually a pretty common solution of needing embryos or someone to carry the baby etc. but hop on your high horse bro, its a good look for you.

We've been through this. I don't wish it on anyone.

I really feel for you.

We had fertility issues and went overseas to do in-vitro with one of the best US fertility doctors in a hospital he was running in Turkey. We ended up with twins but lost one during the first part of the pregnancy. The other is healthy and a blast to be around. Keep your head up. I know when we were first going to get blood work after the implantation and getting that good news it was one of the most exciting and happy times in my life. The news of one of the twins not making it was heartbreaking, but we still had a little girl. I cant imagine the heartbreak for those that only have 1 and it doesnt survive. I know my heart goes out to people that have fertility issues, and the sad thing about it is it s usually good people that will put lots of love toward the children. I also know how it was with people asking seriously stupid shite that only people with fertility issues will understand. Keep your head up, go see some experts. I know how costly it is, which sucks because the government will gladly prop up those that dont even try but good parents that have paid their dues get 0 help. Doctors in the US will rape you. For someone to look thru a microscope and count sperm they were charging like 4-600 a pop. ridiculous.

Sorry to hear of this news.

Good luck moving forward, I wish you both the best.

I am sorry to hear this. My wife had one of these. You will just have to get back in there and do some work when she is ready to try again.

Sorry to hear, Baw. My wife lost one to a tubal pregnancy years ago. We have had many better times since, and don't dwell on it. Good luck.

We went through 7 of them, mostly all really early, adopted a son and then miraculously had our daughter 11 months ago. Prayers God will heal her heart and bless your family.
