TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

Thanks pink. I thought it was 5 weeks but just worked it out and only 4!! (ERPC was on 13th Nov). So pleased I nearly cried. Hasn't done anywhere near a LA yet but there's blood so I'm counting it, even if it's only a little'un.

Have you considered/tried amazon ones? There's a bundle on there for a fiver, but I've never done any opk-ing myself...

Yay Brie!!! V pleased :)

And Blunder, woohoo! What was that, 6 weeks? It is such a relief isn't it.

I am v tempted to buy some ovulation stick today. Have been avoiding, as they Soo expensive, but willpower not strong today.....

Cd 1 here (hooray!)

Hooray, brie! Really pleased for you. A sac and a heartbeat, how lovely and reassuring.

That was one hell of a way to get the early scan I said I didn't want though eh?

All ok thanks everyone. Means a lot to have everyone wishing me well!

I didn't see much on the scan as was trying with all my might not to pee on the poor woman. But DP saw the heartbeat and measured fine, just a couple of days behind where I thought.

So, thanks again! almond and lol I hope you are both feeling ok by now. Am off for a lie down after all this panic/excitement.

ps Almond and Lol I had those kind of cramps with my first pg so think that's normal. None so far this time, so I'm a bit jealous

Brie I am sorry to hear you're having a worrying time. Hope the scan went well today - keep us posted.

Almond I like the name Almond. Am thinking of changing back to posy actually - I have been called bunchof on a few posts and don't feel like me! But too paranoid to drop the b quite just yet!

Hello everyone else!

Thinking of you brie no pain is a good sign xx

Hey there bladies... Everything crossed for you today Brie, thinking of you.

Almond and BLol cramps are scary. But they're not always bad. I was getting quite uncomfortable mystery cramps this time last week that was really stressing me out. At the weekend, I decided to switch my prenatal vits to plain folic acid.

May be coincidence, but the lack of iron means that I'm not getting as constipated and cramps have all but gone, just getting the odd twinges. Side effect is I feel more tired and more sicky which I'm not entirely devastated about as it seems 'reassuring' but point is, cramps can be millions of things, not just pg related.

Fx they ease up soon.

Hope you are well Brie and almond. I'm a bit the same today. Having some cramps and already starting to panic. I know most of it is in my mind as this is when I mc'd last time. But still.
Brie what time is your scan?
Almond are you seeing mw?

Fx today brie. Let us know how you get on. We're thinking of you x

Hope everything goes well today Brie. Lots of unmumsnetty hugs to you xx

Hope all goes well tomorrow brie got everything crossed for you xx

On phone so quickie only, brie keeping everything crossed for your scan tomorrow. Lots of hopeful thoughts going out to you and almond too xxx

Brie sorry to hear that. Big fx for tomorrow.

I've been having weird cramps today and convinced its not a good sign. More like period pain than twinges. Cursed myself by calling to midwife today.

On phone so waves at everyone else as cant remember who said what something about rainbows and circles-.

Thanks everyone for the warm fuzzies. Am feeling reasonably upbeat in the knowledge that I can't do anything to change what might happen. And because it has surprisingly tailed off. I guess I don't want to get ahead of myself, having cried with relief/worry when they agreed to scan me. But it hasn't got worse like my mc and no pains. I keep wanting to say "yet" but will remain cautiously optimistic until instructed otherwise. Last time I really did know it was all over before the scan, but was clutching at straws that I'd maybe lost a twin and there was still one cooking away in there. It has crossed my mind again.

Well thanks again for thinking of me and not minding that I just talk about myself all the time! Will let you know what tomorrow brings us.
James, no worries at all!

Brie, how you feeling tonight? Any more bleeding? x

Brie hope you're okay and managing to keep your mind off things. Fx for tomorrow xx

Aaw Brie, sorry to hear that, I hope it's nothing at all. I had bleeding with every pregnancy too, first one I had what may have been implantation bleeding. It lasted a few hours around the time my period would have been due, so I didn't realise I was pregnant til I was about 9 weeks. Second pregnancy I bled from 6-9 weeks continuously (cervical erosion) and again at 19 weeks, off and on. And obviously with the mc pg too. So there's every chance I'll be bleeding soon and wringing my hands over it. Best of luck with your scan, I hope everything is present and correct. By the way the stupid iPhone app isn't letting me message you back, the gist was thank you, I appreciate it. But don't worry right now anyway, just look after yourself x

Oh crap dear brie, that really is a circle. Fingers crossed for tomorrow that all is ok. What a shame they couldn't do it today

Unmumsnetty ((hugs)) for you Brie. It's the worst feeling in the world. I'm sure you know it can all be fine. I have had bleeding in all four pregnancies - 2 fine and 2 not. I also know that no amount of positive stories will reassure you unless you get good news tomorrow. Am keeping everything crossed for you for a little bean with a flicker....

Brie, keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you. Good luck at the scan tomorrow. x

Arf at the circle/rainbow insults/arguments.

I've booked a private scan for next week, but now I can't relax as I'm worried about how shitty I'd feel cancelling it.
I can't concentrate on anything.

And ds has worked out that my folic acid is easy open as opposed to childproof and had spread them far and wide. Guess he thinks I won't be needing them anymore. He's now hiding in the freezer and I feel less inclined than usual to get him out.

Love the "you're a circle" line too!

Well Fuck-a-duck as I like to say when I'm feeling proper. Just filled a panty liner in the space of an hour or two... After all that positive thinking and days of feeling sick as a dog. Got a scan tomorrow at 1pm. Wish it was today as I'm adopting a rather defensive "I don't care anyway" attitude and I know that really isn't the case. Off to get my flu jab now anyway, and hoping for the best.

Hope everyone else is doing good! Will report back.
