Well I think after all our chatting its about time we had a new thread, as the previous one was very lucky for us, lets hope this one remains just as lucky.

Remember ladies - Our time will come, but our bodies have to be ready, and we are all here to support each other.

For those new people please feel free to check out our Stats thread, to see some info about us and leave you details if you want to.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Morning all!
How's everyone?
Still got the brown dc! Even had to resort to wearing a p/liner. No idea what's up. Dp and I decided against bd last night until we figure what's going on.

OOooooooohhh, am a bit nervous about all of this.

I will see what the doctor says tom. No doubt he will have me go to the EPU. This is starting to get v. embarassing. I have spent so much time there in the last year. Oh, well. They might start getting pissed off and try and offer me some more in the way of medical help and extra care.
Oh, forgot to say. Some of you might think this is a bit naughty. I started to take the Heparin and aspirin again this morning.
I just thought that I may as well as I have some left over from last p/g. The consultant did say that he would want me to go on it as soon as possible the next time. I don't suppose much would have changed in the last four weeks or so, so I hope they won't be pissed when I tell them.

Coathanger,
I forgot to mention. You say your Dh wants to wait six months. I had that chat with my DH too. They soon forget. He will get fed up with all the extra hassle he has to go thru
Whatever u do, don't go on the pill as that will mess up your system and u have to (should) wait at least 2mths b 4 trying to conceive.
Trust me it will all be forgotten very soon and we will all have a laugh about it.

Oh, the mention of curry dinners, got me drooling, they sound yummy. I had to make do with a cold chicken sandwich tonight.

Off to bed now.

Good night ladies........

thanks mojo - yes i take zinc in my pregnacare and dh takes it. They said i would get a consultation at the beginning, i'm dreading ti tickling.
Can't cope with acupuncture, don't do needles, had it on my knee once and it really hurt, and freaked me out because i could see him doing it all.

Mojomummy · 02/10/2005 20:35

yes, definetely mention the miscarriages - she/he should give you a consultation - well I assume they will, they usually want to know about your general health.

Perhaps you could check out an accupuncturist (sp?) too ?

As you didn't have the ERPC, there won't be the general anthestic to deal with, but of course it's all a strain on the body. Did/do you take zinc ? you may find you benefit from some additional help.
I'll ask tomrrow & if there is anything I'll post tomorrow night.

Hellkat, if you speak to maddy before she goes to EPU, tellher I'm sending her lots and lots of love and I'm thinking of her. I really hope all is well ...

Mojomummy · 02/10/2005 20:24

Hi Diddle, well, the drs...I don't believe half what they say (mine said BF was bad at 15mths) I was told that by the hospital where I had my ERPC. I think the drs don't want us to conceive cos it might mean difficulty with dating !

Ref the reflexology - mine said my spleen was low & also liver was flat - these are detoxing organs, so if you've had an ERPC (sorry, I couldn't find you stats ) you might like to give your liver a boost with some milk thistle. I bought mine for about £6 from boots. Have a friend coming over tomorrow who is a reflexologist...so if you have any questions, please let me know & I'll see what i can find out

Diddle · 02/10/2005 20:19

mojomummy - i alwasy thought you were more fertile after a miscarriage but apprently the doctors say its a load of rubbish, and there is not evidence of it. very odd. who knows, it worked for me.

OP posts:
Diddle · 02/10/2005 20:18

mojomummy- yes i'm booked in for the 13th, can't wait. Thanks for recommending it, hope its good

Hiya all, just a quickie before I log off.
Was giggling earlier, thankyou Ch and Lottie, I've now joined you in the "I have brown/pink discharge" club! What is going on? Very odd .
Had email from Maddy. The bleeding's not eased up, she's passed a clot and she now has a dullache in her tum. She rested all day and now off to bed. She says a big thankyou to all for the kind wishes and support. She's hoping tomorrow brings some positive news. She'll be on when she gets back from the Epu (she's being seen at 1.30).
I sent her lots of luck and told her we're thinking of her.
Please let it be good news!
Night all. x

Mojomummy · 02/10/2005 20:12

it's true, you are especially fertile after a miscarriage. Fingers crossed for you !

hi all, so there are a few testing in the next fews days then ? I am due today, so will maybe wait to see what happens....

Diddle, did you book up the reflexology ?

Diddle · 02/10/2005 19:50

Coathanger · 02/10/2005 17:44

congratulations peepee!!

It really looks though you're PG!!! Really happy for you! Now take it easy and look after yourself! Lots of {{{{{hugs}}}}} Peepee!

HellKat · 02/10/2005 17:42

Peepee- Well in that case Congrats!!!! Get yourself back to the dr's and take it easy hunny.

Diddle · 02/10/2005 17:39

it is weird peepee you're right, sounds like he does have super sperm, although i have heard that its an old wives tale that you are more fertile straight after a miscarriage i sort of believe that its true. Sounds like you may be pregnant then if you were tested and i'm sure your hosp would have been in touch if you had a high hcg level 23 days ago as this would mean there was more left behind. So big congrat to you hun, get down the docs and see what they say.

OP posts:
peepee · 02/10/2005 17:34

Thanks Ladies....

Diddle,
We were not really trying. We were just on holiday for 15 days and did plenty of BD.
My last m/c was natural no D&C. Had my HCG levels tested though. They had only gone down a bit in 2 days and was then persuaded to go back in a week later for a test. Gynae told me she would call if they had not gone down. (remember the scare I had just B4 hols re poss. ectopic) I never got a call and therefore assumed they had gone down. The HCG test was done 23 days ago. I never did a p/g test after the m/c.
I have no idea wots going on..... I can't beleive it has happened though.
DH reckons he is some kind of superman with super sperm.. He says it's only a matter of time b 4 the hospital ask him in for some testing! I did point out we have no kids to show for it though.
This p/g lark is weird.

Diddle · 02/10/2005 17:32

aha that explains it, i couldn't cope with such little sleep i don't know how you do it

OP posts:
HellKat · 02/10/2005 17:27

lol Diddle. Only reason why i grab an hour in the avo is because I rarely sleep for more than 3/4 hrs a night (no idea why). .
Peepee- WoW!!! Exactly as diddle said. It is possible you're pg but it is possible for it to be retained products (especially if you had a d&c, i had the same thing and kept getting a positive for a good few weeks after). Get your doctor to check. Fingers crossed.
