Ultrasound #3 =(

Ultrasound #3 was a complete failure as am I. The baby is slowly shrinking and measures between 6 weeks 1 day and 6 weeks 3 days. (Pictures attached) The sac is also starting to change shape and deteriorate. Poor little bean heart is still slowly ticking away but again is not measurable. And my RE thinks it is time to explore options. So I decided to pull the plug and we scheduled the D&C for tomorrow morning. My RE firmly believes that the fact that the bean is not growing and is slowly deteriorating means it is just a matter of days before the heart stops and nature takes it's course. But a D&C will still be necessary plus she wants to test it and check for genetic abnormality's. So with that being said she had me stop my progesterone yesterday and I woke up this morning to a very light AF borderline spotting. So that just goes to show me that the only thing keeping this baby going is the progesterone. This is the hardest decision I believe I have ever had to make but I know it is for the best. I have done allot of crying and soul searching since yesterday and I still know deep down that I want to and am going to be a mother one day. Patrick and I have decided to that we are going to go for IUI #2 as soon as we are given the all clear. Dr L (my RE) said I have to wait until after I get my first AF post D&C to start back and try again and that is what we fully intend on doing.
