@Catconfusion sorry meant to says thanks for your comments and I’m really please things are going well and you are feeling so sick! (Sorry hehe) good luck for the scan.

Honey2 · 08/08/2021 18:03

Feeling so low today. BFN at 10dpo today ☹️ It’s probably for the best as I ought to wait and see what they find at the MC clinic. But can’t help but feel like I need to think about giving up and be happy with the family I have. Starting to question everything now - could it be the covid jab? Could it be the Ubiquinol?? Thinking of all the things I’ve done different this time from when I had my last baby 5 years ago. I guess the reality is I’m just 5 years older! Blaaaaah. Today is a crap day.

@October1979 it's really good that they're being proactive about this loss and investing for you, at least it may give you more hope for future pregnancies.

@Catconfusion glad everything is going well for you so far, good luck for the impending scan

Catconfusion · 07/08/2021 11:17

Thank you so much @October1979 it means a lot. I guess we’ll see what happens! Xx

October1979 · 07/08/2021 10:32

@Catconfusion I'm so pleased everything is going well for you. I have everything crossed that your scan goes well. Good luck for next week xxx

@Honey2 and @October1979 I think it’s so sad you’ve had to have multiple losses before it’s properly investigated. Still it’s good you’re in the system now and can get some testing done. Please don’t give up hope.

@October1979 I’m glad you’re feeling positive after such a traumatic experience.

@Honey2 good luck for when you test. I really hope you get a surprise. I’m good thanks. I’m 6 weeks tomorrow and all is going well. I’ve already started vomiting so I’m feeling quite rough but I was like this with DS so I think it’s just my reaction to pregnancy. I’ve got a referral to the EPAU so will have my first scan in the next week. I’m nervous but a little excited too. I have extreme symptoms but then I did with my first pregnancy which was a mmc. So I don’t really trust the symptoms to mean all is well. However I’m glad I have got the sickness because I’d be freaking out if I didn’t feel sick if that makes sense. Xx

October1979 · 06/08/2021 20:43

@Honey2 I know you are going through the same thing as me that would be great to share what we both find out. I've decided not to wait to ttc for the appointment and let nature take its course also. Once I get my appointment letter I may avoid it that month if I get enough notice. But feel positive I'm now in the system and getting some support. Let's hope it makes the difference for both of us xxx

@October1979 that’s good you have been referred and they are doing tests for this MC. Hopefully this could be the a real turning point. I am booked in for my appointment at the recurrent MC clinic on 17th Aug - so I will let you know what tests they do etc. I may or may not be preg at the apt, I’m 8dpo today so will test on Sunday. Not sure I’m feeling it this month ☹️ But perhaps for the best, probably ought to get the tests done first rather than going round and round in circles. Sending lots of hugs x

@Catconfusion are you doing ok?

99pctpractice · 06/08/2021 14:01

@October1979 I’m so sorry to hear this news. it is so devastating to have your hopes raised and then fall like this and I am so sad for your losses. I hope the process is not too traumatic and sending lots of big virtual hugs your way. Take good care of yourself Xx

October1979 · 06/08/2021 13:31

Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts. Yesterday was difficult. However the nursing staff were excellent. They have sent everything off for testing and referred me to a reoccurring miscarriage clinic. So I feel more positive that I have support and help that I didn't have up till now. Hopefully I will get some answers xxx

@October1979 thinking of you and sending lots of love and hugs. I hope you are being well looked after XxX

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/08/2021 12:48

@Jem1979 yes day 21 and day 3 tests and any vitamin etc deficiency tests too. With the iron I had low levels in both my pregnancies and also got pg and had a miscarriage before I had my iron levels tested which could've been down to the low iron as mine was very low.

@ponymum1980 it can take quite some time for your cycles to become normal after leaving bc I've seen some people it takes around 11 months

@October1979 I'm so so Sorry. I really was hopeful for you this time I hope you're being well looked after sending lots of virtual hugs xx

Catconfusion · 05/08/2021 07:04

@October1979 gosh, how absolutely horrible and sad. I am truely devastated for you. What a cruel thing to happen after what you have been through already. I am sure there are no words anyone can say right now that will ease the pain. I hope the medical management goes as smoothly as possible. Sending lots of love x

Jem1979 · 03/08/2021 21:03

@October1979 oh am so sorry to hear your news. Take good care of yourself and try to rest x

Keeptrying7 · 03/08/2021 18:46

@October1979

Well everyone. Went In for my second scan today and no heartbeats. I should have been just over 8 weeks and the sac has started to collapse. Both babies had not grown since last scan.no bleeding yet but going in for medical management on Thursday. Feeling pretty heartbroken 💔 xx
Oh that’s so heartbreaking. I’m so sorry to hear that Sad
Catconfusion · 03/08/2021 18:30

@October1979 I’m so so sorry to hear this. You must feel completely soul destroyed after all you’ve been through. I really hope you can rebuild and recover as much as possible. These things are life changing and I’m not sure we emerge the same but you are strong and one day you will feel ok again. Please don’t give up. I still think there is time for a positive outcome for you. Take care and know we’re all thinking of you. Xx

sabtom · 03/08/2021 17:05

Oh @October1979 I'm so sorry 😞 sending lots of virtual hugs Thanks

Unicorn9 · 03/08/2021 16:51

@October1979 I’m so sorry. That doesn’t even begin to express how sorry. I hope in some tiny little way you can manage to look after yourself in some way. There isn’t anything we can say to make it ok but it will be ok maybe not now.

Geriatric1234 · 03/08/2021 16:15

Oh @October1979 I’m so, so, so sorry. You must feel devastated and worn out by it all. I really didn’t think this was going to happen like this. Sending you so much love and hugs. Xxx
