TTC's and BFP's XXL mega bus!

Oh mummy I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Similar thing happened to me in Nov at 8 weeks, had no idea the sac would literally just fall out like that........horrific stuff. Anyway, positive, positive, positive thoughts. Keeping my fingers crossed you get your early scan.

Good luck francoise with your appointment, am sure it'll go well.

Hope you get a cancellation soon southy keep pestering the clinic.

I'm going in to see my GP on Fri when I'll be 5 weeks and ask her to get me referred to the midwives and for an early scan at 6.5 weeks. Hopefully it'll start to feel a bit more real by then!

Hi everyone

Hope your booking in app goes well today francoise so sorry to hear about your son

Hope you're doing ok mummy Id keep pushing for a early scan, that's good the midwife is seeing if she can get you in before you fly, fx she does.

Hope everyone else is ok :)

glitter If you didn't have any bleeding then I am sure you are fine lovely. You aren't meant to know! I had a mc in May but I passed the tiny baby complete in it's sack and it was very traumatic, but positivity this time round will pull me through!

Just been to collect my maternity notes 3 weeks til my 8w appointment (but by ov date I will be 7w+2). Saw a different midwife today and she said she will see if she can ask again for a scan before I fly, she could see how nervous I was. Also saw someone from work too who has announced her pregnancy already, had to send her an email asking for her to pretend she hasn't seen me

Oh mummy sorry to hear you had a horrible experience before (I'm new to mumsnet so know nothing!!!).

I've been trying to stay zen but have had some rather sharp stabbing pains the other night particularly was excruciating but over in about 20 mins so nothing to worry about I'm sure........

Hope everyone else is doing well!

I will give it a try. Thanks for remembering DizzyM I can't imagine going through the same experience in a public toilet in Bulgaria if I had no warning.

Definitely ask your GP mummy even after my first MC my GP said next time I got pregnant I could get a reassurance scan. In my NHS trust they will do investigations etc. after 3 MCs but reassurance scans are standard after MC 1. Is there an early pregnancy unit at any of the hospitals near you? Some allow self referrals so that might be worth investigating?

Thanks miss. Will speak to DH and see what he thinks. He's a positive person through and through so not sure he'll be too keen.

Mummy I know the NHS have a three mc rule but I think what happened to you was really awful, don't get me wrong all mc's are horrible but I remember your post well and I think an early reassurance scan should be offered to you. Fx the GP agrees.

Glitter they said if I had experienced 3 mcs they would scan me but not after 1. Will try asking my GP to refer me. I work with one of them so with any luck she won't say no.

Thank you francois & wish

And big hug to you francois, it's such a tricky time so remember to be kind to yourself. There are no rules, you feel how you feel, totally normal and understandable.

Completely agree that time feels as if it's going at a snail's pace. I can't believe it's only been two days since I found out, feels like weeks! These early days are the worst as it feels as if everything is literally balancing on a knife edge but I'm really really trying to keep my mind positive......

I find it absolutely scandalous that they won't scan you mummy, I have to say I'm really, really surprised, terrible that you're forced to put your hand in your pocket and go private.......but I guess it's the NHS postcode lottery sadly.

I live in London and because of my previous MCs they offer scans and blood tests from 6 weeks onwards I think and I can get an appointment within 2 or 3 days.

I'm going to wait and ask for my first scan at 7 weeks because I think the baby's heartbeat will be visible by then. No use in being seen too early as I think that will send my stress levels through the roof! Would definitely go privately if it wasn't offered on the NHS though!

I live up north. Like really far north. No scan places nearby. I would travel 1-2 hours and they are all £100+

Dizzy yep! most definitely.. especially after I'd had bleeding twice before the scan and they thought i may have mc'd.. it was amazing! i would if I was you so worth the money x

mummy agreed its unfair especially after last time. . can't you go private? just to reassure yourself x

i actually feel like my pregnancy is going pretty damn fast im 15weeks tomorrow. . nearly half way! got my gender scan in 12 days.. every morning i wake up and tell dp the count down till we know what our little blob is

southy hope you get an appt soon hun x

Hopefully night. I completely forgot what it's like and remember how I just wanted the first trimester over with. When ttc I always said I would enjoy enjoy every moment of pregnancy when it happens but I want to hurry it along now as the early days are so worrying. How are you doing?

Mummy it's unbelievable they won't offer you an early scan considering what you've been through. I do hope you manage to get one.

I don't know whether to have a private scan at 7/8 weeks. I know DH wouldn't want to but I knew nothing about this when pregnant with DD and was so nervous about the first scan. So everyone who's had one, did you find it reassuring?

Very slow! 5 days since I found out. Midwife on 24th Aug. trying to get a scan before we fly to Bulgaria at 8+3 but they have said no. May have to feign spotting it pain to get one.

It crawls doesn't it merry :( I almost went insane. It will pass though lovely :)

Thanks wish. I forgot how time goes so slowly in pregnancy and when others tell me how far along they are I keep saying time flies but I've just realised it actually doesn't! We found out on Monday and it seems like time is at a standstill.

Thanks wish & fran !

southy mega annoying about the appt but at least it shows they do get cancellations!

fran they will keep a close eye on you so try not to worry lovely x

AF was due today and not a hint of spotting so may ring the midwife tomorrow and get a date to work towards! Lots of pains/cramping though so hoping it's still implantation!

Thanks francois. Big hugs to you lovely. So sorry you lost your son. I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through. I'm sure you will be looked after and monitored closely this time.

I love this bus, I don't come on for a week and when I come back there are more BFP's! Congratulations Mummy,Dizzy and Glitter so happy for you!

I agree with the others Southy keep pestering them until they see you, I hope you get your appointment soon.

I have my booking in appointment with the midwife on Monday. I am feeling a bit weird about it all. It'll be 2 years this Friday since we lost my son so my emotions are all over the place anyway. Because of the complications with my last pregnancy they told me at the time I would be under consultant care next time round so I guess that is a good thing, I'll be looked after but my head's a bit of a mess and the thought of anything going wrong this time is clouding what should be a happy time, enjoying being pregnant. Maybe its my hormones, just feeling really crap today

Argh southy what a pain in the bum! Still, it shows that cancellations do come up so just keep phoning, daily if necessary. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.
See you soon auf!

southy that's not nice, pet. Maybe phone again. Bother them so much that they try and fit you in just to get you off the phone?
Lovely megabusladies, I'm going awol for a few days but will be back to look in you all in a while again. Stay positive and get yourselves on progesterone immediately and hope to see lots more BFPs when I come back! :)

Fx :) it's made me feel more confident about getting one though

That's really frustrating southy. Hopefully another cancellation will come up again.

I juat phoned to see if there were any cancellations at the fertility clinic. They had one for not next week but the week after but DH won't be around so I couldn't take it. Feeling a bit gutted, I know it's not his fault but really frustrating. Sorry just needed a rant and have no one else to moan to!
