First of all...the chances are, those of you reading my thread are also going through your own heartache, so my deepest condolences to you all. 
I just need to share my story because I feel like my heart is breaking. Sorry it might be a long post...please feel free not to read...I just need to get it out of my head.
DH and I have been ttc since aug 07. Feels like a lifetime. Had a mc last feb at 5+3 which was very very difficult, but I dealt with it and got myself back on my feet. Then spent nearly a year getting nothing but bfn's. Finally, on Jan 5th we got our long awaited bfp and it felt different this time. I was spotting, but had an early scan and saw my little peanut's heart beating away. We were, obviously, elated.
But the spotting got worse, and had been cramping some, so paid for a private scan yesterday as my gp wasn't interested and just sent me away last week. Should have been 10 +3 according to the consultant, but there was no heartbeat. The size of the 'baby' indicated that it died between 8 and 9 weeks.
So now I'm just waiting for the mc to happen. He showed me the screen during the scan, and the pictures, but I wish I hadn't seen. Knowing there's a little thing inside me with arms and legs...a thing that should have been my precious baby...is tearing me up. I want the bleed to start so that I can get it over with, but I'm terrified of seeing it...and I feel dreadful that I'll have to flush my little bean down the toilet. They said I might need a d&c but I'd rather not have to go through that.
I just feel empty and desolate. I will be 32 in a couple of months and wish we had started ttc sooner.
I can't stop crying.
