Trying to conceive after mc? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Recently graduated from the mosh pit? Come on down to the mosh pit for some serious metalling and cake part 5

Hi Jolly - congrats that's great news and nice to hear some positive news!

I was 6 wks but taking aspirin and cyclogest so thought it would work it's magic, lets see what tomorrow brings and VERY good luck for your scan

Oh Polka I remember you from earlier threads. So sorry to hear about your recent MC. How many weeks were you?

I hope your appointment with Dr Raj goes well.

If any consolation number 4 was my lucky number (assuming everything goes well later this week). Apart from taking 75mg aspirin for the first 6 weeks I didn't do anything differently this time.

Hi ladies - have been dipping in and out of this thread of late and humungous congrats to LCR, Beans, Dorita and Red....not too long now and I hope the heat isn't causing you too much hassle!

Welcome to Pizza so sorry that you find yourself on this thread too.

I had my 3rd mc about a month ago, completely devasted as thought the magic Cyclogest would do the trick this time. I am now booked in to see Raj Rai at St Mary's tomorrow so I'm really hoping they will be able to give us some hope as DH is losing the will on this and I'm losing my patience with him - weird, our first 2 mc's seemed to bring us closer together this one has made us both very angry with each other - I'm hoping it'll pass...

Hi Pizza queen - welcome to the thread though sorry you have reason to be here. I must admit the thread has been a little quiet of late - which you could look on as a good thing!

Take it easy. I still felt very raw 5 weeks post MC. Getting my BFN came with mixed emotions.

This is a good place to vent and provide support when you get your BFP - which WILL happen.

Hope your return to work isn't too stressful x

can I join on this thread? I just got my bfn at the weekend after starting to mc 5 weeks ago. I am so glad it is over.

Can't wait to get back to ttc but not the waiting around for ov and af and the worry that will come with another pg. I just cant go through another mc.

today was my first day back at work too and it doesn't help my boss is 7 months pg.

All ok? Hope everyone's surviving the heat.

38+2 here . . Section booked for Friday eeeek!

Beans did you go for the ECV or are you having a section too?

Hi all, sorry lost the thread and couldn't remember if it was in pregnancy, miscarriage or conception but finally found it again!

All ok with me, 27 weeks and baby now a lot more active. This is making me feel a bit more relaxed that everything ok but I don't think worry goes away entirely. We are now finally buying stuff for the baby and occasionally I do still think 'what if something goes wrong' but mostly am more excited and nervous about how our lives are about to change!

Just had Gestational Diabetes test this morning so crossing fingers all ok (family history of diabetes). Anyone else had this?

DH and I are off to Turkey on Sat for a week for our last adult only holiday so looking forward to relaxing. Then only 6 weeks left at work when I get back.

Exciting wedding planning pixie!

I've started metalling now, have been fine after getting past landmarks like the 20 week scan but suddenly at 27 weeks, am worrying about the downs risk which came back 1:770

I'm sorry about your sister LCR I don't have any words of wisdom I'm afraid so just sending hugs.

Thanks jolly for the words of advice, especially the stats I think my sister will find that reassuring. She's quite pragmatic this time around and especially after the first time finding out at 12 wk scan. She said she just felt a little embarrassed because they'd told our parents and had done so many tests. I think she's just a little concerned because of her age (38) and they won't be entitled to free IVF if there are any underlying problems because her partner already has a child.

Wow beans not long to go for you at all. Understand the continued metalling especially as have had little movement due to low lying anterior placenta - have been convinced something is wrong. Fortunately this also means have another scan at 32 wks which means I get to see if she's ok.I don't think the metalling goes away - just hope people seek reassurance from threads like these and to get support from mw no matter how trivial the concern.

Hello - I'm still here too and 34 weeks today. Amazingly still having some degree of metalling. Thought I'd passed it as it's been a while, but have been really anxious the last several days. Think, like you jolly, that I really can't believe this will end in our having a baby. Am getting to the point where I'm quite uncomfortable and really looking forward to the pregnancy being over so I can meet him and know he's alright.

Happy third trimester, lcr, and happy wedding prep, pixie. Exciting times!

Sorry posted too soon. As for your pregnancy I think the best thing you can do is just acknowledge her feelings. Don't avoid the subject. Don't say 'it will be your turn next' (unless you're going to back up this comment with the stats mentioned in previous paragraph)

Several of my close friends got pregnant and had babies whilst I was struggling with my MCs and some of them were far easier to be around than others. The good ones that asked how I was and took and interest in my TTC 'journey ' , the bad ones either avoided me or completely ignored the subject.

My sister behaved quite insensitively in that as soon as I had had my 12 week scan she brought all my DD1's newborn clothing back round to our house. She just didn't grasp that I might still be anxious about the baby surviving.

Anyhow enough rambling from me.

Hi LCR glad you're doing well. Welcome to the third trimester.

So sorry to hear about your sister. My first MC was a chemical pregnancy ie positive test, started bleeding a few days later and then by the time I was seen in the EPU my test was negative. I think I dealt with it by not thinking if it as a 'real' miscarriage. ' It was only a few cells that hadn't even implanted' 'if I hadn't tested so early I'd never have known' etc. I assumed that everything would be fine next time. it was only when I went on to have a further 2 MC's that the significance of my chemical pregnancy increased, and I suspect your sister having had a previous MC won't be minimising it either.

If she is a facts and figures type of person she may want to hear that with even after 2 MCs , the chances of her going on to have a successful pregnancy are still very high- about the same as someone pregnant for the first time.

It may be that the only thing you can say is 'I'm sorry'.

Hello ladies

Good to see a little activity on here. Have been wondering how people are getting along.

Very belated congratulations tas you must be so happy your baby has finally arrived.

pixie bet you're excited about the wedding. How long now? Maybe having a little break from TTC will do the trick. Fingers crossed for a honeymoon conception!

Feeling mixed emotions at the moment as I start my third trimester today. 28 weeks where has the time gone??!! But in 3 weeks it would have been my original due date from my miscarriage in November, as it would have been for my sister who was due the same week but had a MMC. Had the sad news at the weekend she has now suffered a second mc - this time a chemical mc. My heart breaks for her and I can't help feeling guilty and worrying about how she feels about my pregnancy. Anyone got any advice or info on chemical miscarriages?

Much love to you all x

34 weeks?!? Where has the time gone well done x

Anyone else out there lol x

Cooeeee pixie I'm still here. You must be very excited about your wedding. I've been engaged for nearly 4 years!!

Totally normal to feel sad/angry about others' pregnancies. I still get a stab of jealousy when I hear of friends' straightforward pregnancies (though I suppose there's always the chance that they may have had problems too ).

34 weeks tomorrow. Stopping work at end of next week - feel a bit of a fraud as feeling pretty good.

Really can't believe that I might end up with another baby this time

Where is everyone?!? I have never seen this thread sooooo quiet!

No news on my front we have been purposefully missing the 'best' days over the last couple of months as the wedding is in six weeks. After my last three pgs ending in MC or MMCs between 6/12 weeks we didn't think the stress of the wedding would help we will defo be 'jumping back n the saddle' as soon as possible

Hope everyone is ok jolly mrshp??- though I have been absent - the happy stories do make me sad at times - thats very selfish of me I know - I do still like keeping up to date with everyone!

Hope to read all your updates soon xx

hi jolly, hj and dorita, so pleased to "see" you all with growing bumps, I remember you getting your BFPs, I'm very excited for you all. Mrs HP hope you get your BFP soon, good luck with this 2ww

I remember you Tas, congratulations!! You did it!!

Good luck Mrshp x

Enjoy shopping jolly and beans...

I'm 25wks this wkend and feeling kicks now, things are so different from a year ago

Many Congratulations Tas - I remember you well from my early days on this thread.

31 weeks here - feeling more comfortable I think she may have dropped. Beginning to buy some bits and pieces too. Only 4 more weeks of work hurrah. . . .

Mrs HP - keep up the good work

Aw, wonderful news, tas - so many congratulations and thanks for sharing the good news here.

No news to speak of here - all still seems as it should be at 31 weeks and this weekend we've planned to Buy Some Things. All getting to seem very real...

Good luck on your 2 weeks, mrsHP, and hope everyone else is well.

Sorry not to name check everyone but I have lost track of who is around, but congrats to all those pg and hope the rest of you are lucky soon, need to get off MN now and eat cake!

Hi everyone, I was on this thread last year after a mmc and ectopic pg, i also dipped in and out in this pg when I was off work with pneumonia. If anyone remembers me, i just wanted to let you know that mini tas was born last week, 12 days late- he almost shot out in the corridor outside the delivery room after a lovely calm labour, in contrast with most of the pg which was not all that calm! Thanks to everyone who listened to me moan and fret. I was in a very dark place after the ectopic pg and I never thought I would get pg again, let alone have a baby. Hope this gives you hope if you are ttc or having a rough pg .

Any news?

Mrs HP and pixie how are you both doing?

My friend who's 39 weeks said exactly the same thing Beans. I feel like there's just been a huge spurt and my insides need to stretch to get used to this massive lump sitting there.
