unfortunately

I went to the doctor and discovered that the pregnancy wasn't viable.  Doctor speak for the baby has stopped growing, so I'm waiting to miscarry.  I was on the internet this evening researching herbal things that may help promote menstruation.  And did you know that taking 6-10 grams of Vitamin C (if taken without bioflavonoids) for 5-10 days can

I don't know what else to say that has not already been said. I'll will keep you in my thoughts, and I hope that something wonderful happens to help chase your sadness away.

I'm a bit slow...

Not checking my lj often enough. I'm really sorry to hear all of this. I would imagine the stress of working through all of this can be helped by having people to vent to... definitely add me to the list of people to call if you want to talk or need anything. You're an incredibly strong person, and I know you can get through all of it, but you've obviously got lots of friends who can be there to listen and help if you want them to.

Second opinion?

At the risk that saying such a thing about such a sensitive subject might be taboo, but have you considered getting a second opinion? I mean, at this point, it might be too if the doctor was in fact correct, but stranger things have happened. I have a friend in Chicago whose doctor told her that her 10 week old fetus had died in-utero and that she was to do the same thing- wait to miscarry. They also did some tests and called her a few days later saying. . . oops!. . .we messed up! She had a beautiful and healthy baby boy about 10 months ago. I'm not saying this to give you false hope about something devastating or to give you hope only to have to grieve again, so please take this info/suggestion and do with it as you may. But it also is to say that sometimes doctors are wrong and it might not hurt to get a second opinion about something so important before you start taking the vitamin C

I can't seem to get my mind to focus on how difficult this must be. Instead, I keep thinking of the strong character that makes up your family. I continue to be amazed and proud at how you face your challenges and rise to a superiority above them.
You all are in my thoughts.
