Hello,
Me and Wasabipeanut thought a specific thread for people in our boat may be nice- as lovely as the knicker checkers thread is and great support but a lot of the lovely knicker checkers are past the evil first trimester and for those of us that have just found out we are pregnant again post MC we thought it might be nice for us to have a sub lounge to huddle in and support each other in these very early stages where in a way we are still in denial about this pregnancy!

We don't have to post due dates or anything scary like that, just more a place to wobble with people going through it at same time.

So I will be only 4 weeks tommorrow and 40 days ago tommorrow I had an MMC at 10 weeks but emby died at 6/7 weeks. So am going to be petrified basically for at least the next 8 weeks and would love some handholding- especially as this time I am not telling anybody except DH and best mate. Parents need not know.

I'm here!

I am 4+3 and had an MMC at just under 10 weeks on late Jan. Mine hadn;t made it past about 5 and a half weeks

I got a scan at nearly 8 weeks, got told it was a non starter then had to wait for 2 weeks to actually miscarry.

Not the best start to the year.

Like Thandeka I am also staying schtum (not even my bestie will know!) until 12/13 weeks if all goes well.

Am even to scared to make a GP appt/call midwife to register and hopefully arrange an early scan.

ooops I know Happybump and Jardins may be interesting in hanging out for some handholding so I will try and get the thread title changed to 4-6 weeks or very early pregnancy or something.

You are 4 days ahead of me. I'm north london-ish so if near we could even do person to person support as bloody hell we need it and thats the worst thing about this- not being able to tell people when actually what you need is their support! I have got really superstitious about telling people- in that I think if I tell people it defo wont work again. But I have a dentist app tommorrow so will have to tell him, have post MC counselling next week so will probably have to tell her- prob may help? Will have to tell my accupuncturist next week too but I guess in a way these are all professionals.

I did phone my docs just to tell them today as I want it on my records so if it doesn't work again they will have to believe me and then I can get referrals for investigations if it happens for a third time (how cruel that they make you have three in a row before they will investigate). Oh but my docs are making me go in and see them on friday- boo- I don't want to but I guess since I haven't had a period since etc. they prob want to work out. Luckily I chart so I know I ovulated on day 26 of my "cycle" so I think I can date the pregnancy fairly accurately. (Last pregnancy I ovulated day 24 so not much difference- they were putting me further ahead than I knew I was so was glad I knew!)

Can I join?
You can usually find me on the AC thread but I recently found out I'm pregnant (I think I'm 5+5).
I had a mmc following my 2nd IVF cycle in January - we had almost a month of is it or is it not viable (low hcg result, empty sac, possibly something in there etc...)
Anyway we're absolutely flabergasted that I've fallen naturally!
We were about to go to docs to see if DP was still fertile following chemo for testicular cancer last year - what a way to find out!!
I am so terrified we'll go for the scan (5th June) and it being just another empty sac

Sorry to hear you two have had similar experiences

Welcome Mowmi and brilliant news about your natural pregnancy hurrah- especially as it sounds like you guys have have been through so much.

How many weeks will you be when you have the scan?

One thing we all have to reassure ourselves of is that many pregnancies post MC are sucessful- our bodies have been already primed for pregnancy so hopefully our wombs get a handle on the whole malarky this time. (although obviously last bit is tongue in cheek as wombs/us are not accountable for MC and we can't blame ourselves/our wombs if that makes sense.)

Hi i am 5 + 3, i had 2 mc last year x I am very worried because i am not having any symptoms, is anyone else having symptoms?

Epac rang today and have booked me in for a 6 week scan on monday so am very nervous as am scared there will be nothing there. I really want to make it x

Thanks for the welcome. I'll be 7 weeks. You're right must try to get a grip!! (even a bit of grip would be good!!)

Mummy - I've only got sore boobs - that's it!
I've got a really good book which says the strong symptom thing is a bit of a red herring - lots of women have nothing at all and there isn't a relationship between being full of them or not (I'm trying to believe anyway!)

Can I come an huddle for a while, even though I now 6weeks today. I go from feeling confident to terrified at the moment. I have had two early m/c's in the last few months, and am now worried and concerned as at my age m/c's are common. I have a scan booked for 6th July, I will be 11w5days then. I just hope that I can keep calm til then and stop fretting - is that possible?

Mowmi - congrats on finding out the best way about your dh fertility!

Hi to Thandeka and wasabipeanut.
