Freak out room for those newly updiffed after MC to hold hands and support each other...

nix brilliant news - am very happy for you

hello wakar - welcome to the loonybin! Fingers crossed that you will be ok.

Think I'll be in bed v soon - waking at 3.50am, and not going back to sleep has done me in.

wiseowl is always right-you can't jinx things! I am hopeless at remembering dates and upcoming events so list is helpful to me to remember but happy to just be told by people after the event if they prefer.

nix wonderful news!!! Did they have any idea what it was? I so hope that we all get such good news if scary stuff happens....

banana well done on booking the appt. Point me in the direction of the thread when you start it, I'd be interested to read it. I'm waiting to hear about my NK results, hopefully hear tomorrow.

coco if I hadn't gone private I wouldn't have got a scan until 14 weeks on the NHS-I think I would have been consigned to the loony bin long before....

orange cool present idea! Are you going to learn 'somewhere over the rainbow' and play it to orangebean??

Hi wakar congratulations on the BFP, make yourself at home!!

Knackkerrred-on train, so want my bed!! Fell asleep on train on way to work this morning and woke myself up dribbling... luckily only on myself but still....

Hello ladies,

Can I join please? I had a MC in August and have just got a BFP today. I've been spotting since 9DPO (now 14DPO) so I am not going to get excited as my MC was exactly the same (spotting from the start). Who knows what will happen but I thought I would join for some moral support.....

She was lovely dig, rubbed my arm in reassurance etc etc... well i was a sobbing mess!

Got to go back to epu on fri as planned for another scan and they will look to see if the amniotic fluid is ok. My tummy is so tender though, hoping its just expanding.

still off work til mond,sod em! Shouldnt make me so stressed out!

Hopefully onwards and upwards.

Will catch up on the thread later on xxx

nicks yipeee! what a lovely MW you have.

hummm! I can smell something fishy in here... oh look it's Owl and her fish drop hee hee!

Nix Phew, what a relief, did they give any explanation?

Oh Nix, so so relieved for you

Moo is right, put your feet up anyway and RELAX. x

Phew! Nix that's such a relief xxx Do they know if you did have a fluid leak or not?

Barbie I'm so so sorry. Wishing you the best of luck with the next treatment cycle. May the next one be super sticky for you xxx

Love and hugs to all xxxx

Nix - PHEWWWWWWEEEEE! What a horrible scare for you. Glad things are okay. Don't apologise for being a trembling mess - we would all have been the same. Still, put your feet up and make DH run around after you for a few days. You said he was being an arse recently? Make him pay!!

Owl - am loving the new mantra! You cannot jinx yourself no matter what you do.

Love am definitely also losing the plot, but maybe a couple of days at work will save me and bring a week on Friday that little bit closer...

Silver glad you're feeling better. Hoorah for being a piggywig!

Hi all, wow, emotional day on here...

Nickster - fantastic news!

Barbie - so very sorry for you

Emoo - diziness much better today thanks, gone back to just being lightheaded on and off but have eaten like a pig today so that also may be something to do with it , blood sugar and all that.

Hello to everyone else, I really have to do some work today!

ITS GOOD NEWS!!!!!

finally got hold of MW and she called us back to hosp, picked up hb on doppler straight away and showed us baby on the scan....

he was happy as larry rubbing his eyes

What a roller coaster day

So sorry i have been a trembling mess xxxx

Hi all!!

Barbie Bless you, so sorry you having to go through this :( Best of luck and lots of sticky baby dust coming your way!

Coconuts Can you go private? Just for peace of mind?

Nix Brown blood is good, so hold on to that. Shame on the dr though, very very unprofessional of them.

Hairy :) at you thinking positively.

I called and booked an appt with Dr. Shehata for the 26th, BUT I am not sure if I want to go thru with it or not. Think I will do a separate thread on it, but a bit dubious about the it all and think I should save my ££ for if it happens again...

Barbie so, so sorry to hear anout your loss - please take care of yourself xx

Nix Sounds like things are settling down a bit, and I hope your scan brings good news. Rest up xx

Emoo ooooh, scan twin - think I may have lost the plot by then. Think the last week and a half has been the longest of my life so far!

YOU CANNOT JINX YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO........
Am with you on that on owlbooty - there is no rhyme or reason to this pg and mc business. We just have to keep ranting on here, and count off the days until we get to feeling safe. I personally, will not feel fully relaxed until I have my baby in my arms - if I ever am that fortunate.
I've dealt with the fact that I wasn't going to be able to have another child after I decided to stop trying after my 3rd mc. Went through a horrible depression, but I got through it, and made my peace with that.
All I'm trying to say is that, with the right support, whatever we all will go through with these pg's, YOU will manage to deal with it eventually.

Ooooh, check me out - all philosophical in the face of madness and insanity...

I'm going to repeat the first rule of the Freaking Out thread:

You cannot jinx yourself no matter what you do

Repeat whilst imaginging me standing over you with a bucket of sardines.

Chocs my local area is the same. I tried asking the GP and failed there too but might be worth you asking, you might get a sympathetic GP.

I fully expect anyone who has a scan coming up to give me 24 hours notice so I can deliver the required pep talk or in Pink 's case, tell them to go easy on the DH.

Hello all,

Not much to report here, had my eyebrows plucked (yowch!), just trying to enjoy the calm before the storm of work tomorrow. The scan they gave me was tricky for getting chickie to school at the same time as having DH with me, so it's now rebooked for 18/2 when I will be 7+0. Ish.

About lists - sorry if it's not to everyone's tastes.. was a selfish move on my part to keep tabs on you all as I struggle to keep up when I'm busy at work. If it proves too obtrusive we could just move it to it's own little chatless thread and those of us who are interested can update/bookmark it.

Nix - what a day.. poor you.. and on your behalf at the nurse. Will be keeping fingers firmly crossed until your scan on Friday.

Silver - how's the dizziness?

Barbie - so so sorry to hear of your loss, and I hope you are getting some good tlc out there in RL.

Love - you are being scanned the same day as me...!

choc - congrats on your scan , and getting as far as meeting a MW - hope it goes well. Remember, each little step is a step closer..

Hairy - that's really reassuring research you've been doing. Hope is pretty much the only thing we've all got to cling onto at the moment, so I am glad you have found some!

Orange - can you play the ukelele? Or are you going to learn?? (Oh, and conception date is best guess at when we were 2 weeks based on LMP/charting/early scan/shagfest/OPK, you name it!)

Coconuts - sorry to hear you can't get a scan. The postcode lottery is clearly alive and well... Frustrating.

barbie - so sorry :(

nix Glad you are resting. You definitely did the right thing going to A&E.

hairy I have hopeful days and days that are not so hopeful - today for instance. Your dates and calcs are reassuring :)

I keep trying to argue with having a scan and not having a scan. I called my EPU and I am not allowed to book my own as they don't do early scans unless you have bleeding or other issues. So looks like I'm waiting another 6 weeks. I am 6 weeks today, by my calcs.

I had a follow up gynae appointment booked for next weds that my consultant has cancelled as he doesn't need to see me now I'm preg so not even a chance of a scan though him now.

Hairy that's my girl! I do think you will find, like me, that your gestational age is going to be far removed than dates based on your lmp. Based on my lmp date at my first scan I was 6+1 but they only saw the gesational sac and they put that down to late ov in a short cycle... meaning the gesational age was far earlier. Glad your research has reassured you, and I am certain Friday's scan will be good

barbie - I'm so very sorry .

nix My blood boils when I hear of that kind of comment. I've just got back from my booking appointment and I was explicitly told by my midwife that first port of call for anything worrying is A&E from now on, and that they might refer me to EPU from there - but to call them first. Agree with the others to try bully your way for quicker help ... I was turned away from the EPU with my first MC but phoned my GP, who flipped out and phoned them, and I was seen that afternoon. And don't apologise for not being reassuring: there's feck-all anyone can say to reassure me that my pg is going to go well all the way to the end .

hairy To be honest, I feel the same way about lists. But yesterday I was on a high after the scan and thinking 'I must start trying to think and behave positive' so stuck myself on the list. Today I'm back to fearfulness and thinking 'What the feck was I thinking of - I've jinxed it'.

silly I'm wondering if this is this one of those occassions where a digi done in a few days time might be helpful? What do others think....? I'm not a serial tester myself, but think I might do digi's spaced a week apart if I was in your shoes. I do hope you get clear answers soon; it must be so frustrating.

I have no symptoms at all, but I am very very tired. Can't figure out if that's because I'm pg, or if I'm not sleeping at night from worry: both are true.

Nicks sorry to hear of this and glad you are now on full rest. Will keep things firmly crossed for you.

Wavve to HKBaby

I am reading some quite heartening stuff.

It turns out that I was scanned right on the very day that I was technically at 4 weeks gestation. At that point it is highly unlikely that anyone would see a yolk sac, as it's only just whem the pregnancy sac becomes visible.

If I ovulated later than I thought (and I think it was probably the 9th of Jan ish) then I could only have been 3 weeks and five days gestation (depending on how long it took the egg to travel and implant), at which point it's not likely to see even a pregnancy sac.

Hmmm. [hopeful smiley]

Not sure why I suddenly seem to have found some hope and I sure hope it isn't false hope.

Oh nix what a nightmare, big hugs hon. They cannulated me as well, must be standard a&e procedure... wankers! I can't believe they can't scan you until Friday... that's terrible. Glad you are signed off until after the scan though and it's good the bleeding has stopped, you must do as you've been told, feet up and do nothing.

((hugs)) for nix. Lots of love and positivity from over here. xx

Barbie so sorry to hear your sad news.

Nix, how worrying for you. I hope you really do have your feet up and are getting a proper rest. Hope you get some clarity over what's going on soon.

Sorry everyone that I do not get a chance to post much, am usually on (crappy) phone which is okay for lurking but hopeless for writing anything.

You did the right thing to go to A&E - I asked my MW about this and she said if you have any problems that should ALWAYS be first port of call so don't let them make you feel guilty over that.

I also got cannulated when I rocked up at A&E last time and have made mental note not to fall for that one again as they did it without asking which I thought was shocking. And it bloody hurt too!

Sure he is right about the brown blood though - maybe you just dislodged some that had been there a while? Putting feet up sounds like excellent plan in teh meantime - get some movies and a good book to distract you if you can.

I agree with Digi it's worth trying to strong-arm the GP, if you feel up to it.

and he also said no stress... so i shall stop ranting now. Feet up, signed off work til after fri scan, (had a v stressful day yest, and he did say that wont help)...so i suppose he wasnt that useles after all... im just emotional :(
