No words girlie. I'm devastated for you :( I hope all goes as well as can be. Totally and utterly gutted for you.
We're all here if you need us xx

sizethree · 29/05/2015 13:30

Oh girlie I'm heartbroken with you. It's shitter that shit. You e been through more than enough already. Sending you super strength to get through this too.
I know people always spurt out platitudes at awful times like this which seem of little comfort, but one that resonates with me at my lowest moments was always:
'everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not yet the end.'
Massive hugs and always here when you need us.

Kazz2112 · 29/05/2015 12:13

So sorry to hear that. Hope you're well looked after and that you recover quickly.xc

As expected I've officially had a MC and off to theatre in next few hours. Was fun whilst it last fun but hey ho wasn't meant to be this time.

Response trial nurses have been blooming lovely today making sure follow up is already booked. That alone had been worth doing the trial x

Kazz2112 · 29/05/2015 09:45

Good luck Girlie.xxx

Marchgirl · 29/05/2015 09:37

Thinking of you girlie, praying all ok in there xxx

Indie I went from 14 weeks as second tri, there's so much conflicting info online so I though 14 was safe lol!! Even though officially I'd say 13 weeks 2 and 1/3 days Grin

Dropping in to wave to you all. Not been great at keeping up with this speedy thread this time you chatty lot!
Also wanted to say to girlie that I've been thinking of you lots this past week and wish you a peaceful night's rest as you can get under the circumstances and will be sending the best strength and positive vibes to you tomorrow. Please let us support you in any way you need. Massive hugs. X

Indiedog · 28/05/2015 21:01

Hi Phillippa,

Glad you are feeling well, and positive. It's our last night tonight, and we fly back at midday tomar!
As far as my dating scan I am 13 weeks yesterday, and trial is 13 Monday! I am amazed, and I think that takes me into the second trimester BlushBlush

As for injections, my temp was always ok. Who knows lovey, I guess we all react differently. I can't believe we might have to wait until the whole trial is complete before we find out what we've had.

I think I am going to book a private scan for 16weeks, as I can't wait till 20!! Plus I still need to know my bump is ok. Also, I might ask if they can tell the sex, and put it in a sealed envelope, and I will give the envelope to a friend to keep! Untill the official scan!

So glad you are going to have some time out, and so glad you have got this far.

Hope everyone else is ok
Girlie, I will be thinking of you tomar, keeping everything crossed for good news.

Xx

philippa88 · 28/05/2015 20:17

Evening!

In response to trying to sleep, as whipped as he sounds, my oh always gives me a back rub! Nothing full on, just a light tickle lol - I'm asleep within minutes!! Maybe worth a try :)

Anyone who's using the injections right now - at your appt's when they do your blood pressure and temp, is your temp slightly raised? Mine has been twice now and it's possibly a side effect of the drug - I like to think so anyway lol!

Going on holiday for a week on Monday and the day after we get back I have my first scan! I'm excited but I keep holding back cos I kind of can't seeing myself making it that far :/ I'm feeling positive and as of today this is my longest pregnancy but I can't help but worry!

How are you ttc ladies?? Xx

clairemorgan81 · 28/05/2015 19:19

I didn't think taking blood would be something she would do. gosh I hope she's ok!!x

Kazz2112 · 28/05/2015 18:26

The joys of TimeHop. Just been reminded that it's exactly a year ago today since we found out about my first mc. (Obviously didn't plaster that news online but we were on holiday in Jersey so that's the give away).

Been an absolutely horrific year with the 3 miscarriages, mother in law having two strokes and lots of other little bits of bad news. Feeling more positive atm and hoping that this is the start of positive happy times! Just being on this group has helped massively. Thank you!

Marchgirl · 28/05/2015 18:25

Never heard of them taking blood before claire! But glad she is interested in the trial etc.
I presumed my acu lady would be against me taking a load of chemical hormones but she's actually quite open to mixing Western medicine with TCM

clairemorgan81 · 28/05/2015 15:09

I'm going tomorrow for my consultation and first session March. I feel a bit nervous for some reason. I've just spoken to her and she wants blood results/trial info etc she mentioned progesterone and said she can do bloods??x

Marchgirl · 28/05/2015 14:59

claire, she's just a normal acupuncturist although she does have a special interest in fertility and women's problems. She normally puts points in for stress/anxiety, hormones, sometimes sleep and today my liver was a bit hot (!) So she put some in for that. The hormone points I feel especially work (really helped flush them out last week after progesterone) and just feel very relaxed after going there.
