My sincere condolences on your loss, **Tiburon**. There’s little anyone can do to help ease the pain you and your partner are feeling (and will be feeling for a while), but perhaps you can find some comfort and support on one of the many links on this site: [http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/miscarriage/resources.html](http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/miscarriage/resources.html)

Thank you all for the good thoughts. We’ll be going to the hospital on Friday for D&C.

My stomach and head hurt just thinking about it all. Thanks again for the support. That means a lot to me.

Tibs.

Like everyone else, all I can do is offer my condolences. It’s a terrible tragedy, and there’s really nothing more we can offer than kind words and compassion. Hopefully this pain will soon be replaced with joy when you succeed on your next attempt. Best of luck, and one day i’m sure you’ll have the family you dream of.
