TTC after recurrent miscarriage - thread 3

Oh wow! I've been checking in and that's the best news!! Good work your baby And good news about the ABs, really hope you're feeling better soon.

Phew. So thrilled for you x

Hope you got some sleep miami and your scan and appointment go well today. Sending good vibes x

hopeful have you got your new supplements yet? How’s things?

I chucked up last night, came out of nowhere. Feeling fine today.

Oh Miami that’s awful. I had an infected wisdom tooth a few months ago and it was so so painful. I can’t imagine your pain. I’m sure they’ll be happy for you to take amoxicillin, I got MUCH stronger antibiotics after my operation. I hope you get some relief soon.

Nausea better this afternoon. Though managed hardly any lunch as just wasn’t hungry. Time will tell I guess

Tooth sounds really sore!

Oh miami you poor poor thing. Sorry you’re in so much pain.

Hope consultant is happy for you to take the ABs, you need something! What a time for no booze... Bugger.

Thinking of you also @Miami. I'm struggling to keep track of everyone's appointments!

That sounds good to me, and if they're happy bean I'd take that.

How's the nausea? Hope you have things to distract you till Friday, I'm sure you do catching up from your holiday.

Miami, thinking of you for tomorrow. What time are you in? Will send extra thoughts.

Thank you munchie x God it's all going on Friday isn't it! Got a friend's 40th next weekend otherwise a quiet couple of days. I'm exhausted all the time so trying not to plan too much in.

Thanks para. I think I might have started praying... Not to god but I keep finding myself talking in my head along the lines of "please keep going in there, you're doing so well, just keep going, I'm doing everything I can to look after you". I don't feel as crazy as I did a couple of weeks ago but it might be creeping back

That's good the numbers are going up. Good luck for Friday

Rpt is 11978 (was 7464) which is apparently ok as slows down a bit post 6000 - anyone else been told that? . Now to wait for Friday.

I got a scan appointment along with a booking appointment. I didn’t book until 10 weeks and I’d had a few good scans this time- too much experience about being chased for follow up appointments after miscarrying in the past. Have the same resentment of booking appointments.

Keeping everything crossed for everyone.

@Anne I feel exactly the same about booking appointments.
No don't worry I'm also struggling to keep up. I've got my RMC appointment this Friday when I'll be 7 weeks. I'm keeping it together but deep down feel so anxious and emotional about the next 4 weeks. We've been really busy the last few weeks so we haven't got much planned for the next couple weekends but sure we'll end up being busy when it comes to it. How about you?
Keeping you in my thoughts for Thursday xx

I really was impressed para. Not going to plan for Friday till Thursday's scan is out the way. My resentment towards booking appointments is extreme these days. Did you get your scan date after you'd had your booking? Or at the same time?

They take bloods at both so not sure what they'll do if they're close together.

Been for your bloods yet bean? Crossing everything for fantastic doubling and reassuring news for you. Hope the nausea calms down. It's very muggy today which never helps.

Always love a bank holiday munchie! Do you have plans for the long weekend?

Have you had your RMC appointment yet? Struggling to keep track atm, sorry.

Hope your first day back goes okay @bean and the nausea is manageable.

Hope everyone is well and had a good weekend. I'm so looking forward to having an extra day off next week for bank holiday x

Feel very sick this morning. Whether that’s a good sign or the prospect of being back at work after 2 weeks off or of anxiety about the bloods is unclear.

Bean hoping for the best for you- agree the numbers sound good. I'd do the same as you and wait until Friday- at least you'll have answers either way.

Anne I'm delighted you have all your dates etc already. I was the same this time- left it late to book but got my scan date and appointment date within 48 hours.

Congratulations keepon x

Huge congratulations @keepon. Thank you for coming on to share your wonderful news. Felt a bit emotional reading your post. Sending lots of love and hugs ❤

keepon 😘 Such beautiful wonderful news, thank you for popping in and more congratulations and joy for all 3 of you than I can really describe. Having a happy cry for you. You’ve been through SO much and stayed resilient, funny, kind, thoughtful and so very strong and your baby girl couldn’t have picked a better mum. The happy endings make the dark days seem worth it and you give us all hope. miami had a feeling your renovated uterus would do the job and she was right

Your wisdom and company has been so lovely, thank you.

Enjoy your beautiful Rowan and embrace your new family xxx

Morning ladies.

I know paranormal has already mentioned it but I thought I'd pop back for my own little announcement. Nearly 4 years after we started TTC, and 3 years since my first MC, after 4 MCs and corrective surgery on my uterus we finally welcomed our daughter Rowan into the world on Tuesday afternoon. And we are utterly besotted, and completely exhausted!

It has been an incredibly difficult period of our lives and we questioned carrying on on many occasions but I am so so glad we persevered as she is definitely worth it.

I wish you all well for the rest of your journeys and hope you all get your much wanted rainbow babies.

Anne and Miami, we've never met but we've been in this together for a long time and I feel like I know you even though we've never met. I hope this time is it for both of you and I'll be keeping my eye on how you get on. Miami thinking of you especially and little Eilidh (sorry if I've spelt it wrong) in the coming weeks. Thank you for all the support you've given me.

What a relief bean, very pleased things are looking better for you. Crossing everything bloods Monday show good development. If you’re in early you might get the results the same day. I’ve been so worried about you, so relieved things are reassuring.

How was your holiday? Did you manage to enjoy any of it? It’s a stunning country.

Only update from me is astounding efficiency of the NHS! Emailed my form and request for booking appointment Thursday night, asked to have it at a specific hospital of the 3 options. Auto reply said you’ll get something in the post in 14 days, which was cutting it fine for dates and nuchal screening.

Got a text first thing this morning offering my an appointment next Friday, at a good time, where I wanted and all I had to do was reply “yes”. Staggered!

So busy week with scan at the furthest possible hospital from work Thursday which consultant told me he’d definitely have forgotten about as I’m to catch him as he goes into surgery the day before his holiday... Then booking in Friday.

Update. Supposedly 5+3 today. Tentative good news. Hcg 7464. They offered a scan on Tuesday or weds when they rang with results (they don’t scan unless hcg >1500) but if no hb on that would then have to wait another week. So I’ve elected to keep my Friday slot as I think there’s more chance of seeing a heartbeat if there is one at that point?
Going to do repeat bloods on Monday as she’s given me a form but she said I didn’t have to. Still daren’t hope but at least it’s not definitely all lost.
