Our 20 week scan brought the terrible news that our baby has died. We are heartbroken.
Our baby had Down Syndrome. It comes with an increased risk of miscarriage/stillbirth, but our fetal heart scan hadn't picked up anything serious and we were really hopeful it was going to be ok.
I am going to have a mini labour induced on Sunday.
I have no idea when we will feel ready to try again. We have one embryo frozen from our first NHS go, I suppose we will potentially do an FET before a fresh cycle. Unless they suggest doing a fresh cycle and picking from the embryos.

I am so utterly sorry to read this. I hope your loved ones hold you close during the toughest of the storm you are weathering. I had a loss at 21 weeks a year and a half ago. The pain will never go away but it will ease as time passes. I am always here if you need someone to talk to. I will keep you and your family in my heart.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Did they do genetic testing for the embryo before they transferred? I am also currently pregnant by FET we had the genetic testing done prior.
So sorry you are having to go through this. Sending you and your partner much strength, well wishes and hope. Wish you all the best and more for when you are ready to go again. Its so hard but try and be kind to yourselves and look after you x
We are allowed 2 fresh cycles and up to 2 frozen. But I believe it's basically you have to do it in the order Fresh - Frozen - Fresh - Frozen. Thankfully we have an embryo left over from our first round so we do get a frozen go. x
