Well done tooks . How lovely for us to be able to share in your good news - you see, this IS a lucky thread!
Moschops - my head's not working too good today and I'm struggling to get my head round your testing dilemma. In your position, I think I would be tempted to test this weekend.
Becki - hugest hugs ever. Oh god, I know how you're feeling. Be gentle with yourself this weekend.
Jeddah - Happy Birthday me old fertile filly
Had a grim day today. Went for my scan to check miscarriage complete (it was). Stupidly, went by myself and then had to sit in wait in the middle of the antenatal clinic. That really hurt. By the time I got in for the scan I was in tears. They obviously see this all the time and were kind but very brisk; patted my knee, did the intravaginal scan, told me it was all over, and turfed me back out into the antenatal waiting room, still sobbing my heart out. I'm not complaining - medically, I was probably the least interesting person they saw all day, and I am truly grateful that my body processed the business so efficiently and I don't have to have an ERPC or bleed for weeks (have read some recent miscarriage threads and am horrified at what some women have to go through - I was surprised at how physically gruelling this has been for me, and it's NOTHING compared to what others have endured). But it felt very lonely and very, very painful.
When I'd finished making a show of myself crying through the hospital, the streets, the tube, and Clapham Common, I spent the afternoon cuddling friends' babies. Bittersweet, but also a wonderful healing feeling. It feels so right, I can't believe I'm not meant to have my own child. We have to keep hoping, don't we?
