to stick my head in the sand and pretend this isnt happening?

[queenoftheslatterns]

i got a bfp on tuesday. a clear one. a bright blue line straight down. I am now (going by ov dates) coming up for 5 weeks. this is the time I normally mc, and I just want to stay in bed and sleep for the next 2 weeks. I havent called the cons yet, no point because there is nothing he is prepared to try. I havent been to my gp because he will refer me to the cons and i dont want yet another mc going on my notes.

i certainly feel more pg than i have for years, napping 2pm-4pm, going to bed at 8, eating like a horse etc... but on the downside i have a touch of loose bowels and i know that i need an early scan because of the ep.

but i cant seem to face up to this. dh is cacking himself and i dont want to scare him anymore. he asks if ive called the cons and ive been v evasive and said that he is away, but i dont want to involve anyone else in this in rl yet.

oh stillfrazzled, of course not and thank you. I just hope I helped.

So glad you have made an appointment . Will pop a small contribution over via paypal later today x

Can I ask some of the more experienced mnetters whether they think we need to start a new thread or whether we should just leave it at this one ?

You did help, so now hopefully it's my turn

Have sent something, let me know if it gets to you? My first name's Jo.

qos im so sorry i cant contribute, i am currently paying for my own rmc tests.

i just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world.

stillfrazzled, recieved it, thank you so much!!

mumatron, really, really ok - wish you every luck and i hope you get some answers!

tillyscoutsmum, I really don't know - am overwhelmed!

I will do this but it cant be today and I may be back on later in the week asking for help as have never donated to another paypal account before - is it easy?

Oh and no I definitely dont mind contributing. No-one deserves what youre going through and if I can make it even a teensiest tiniest bit better then I will.

Take care.

Hi lissie,diddn't mean to be nosy re GBS just wondered if it stood for Guillian Barre [spelling?] as I had that and they think it triggered immune disorders linked to m/c .And like you my first pregnancy was great.

If so there is a free trial being run at Liverpool testing for natural killer cells -I could not go as have ME and you have to be otherwise healthy but could be worth a try-if GBS stands for something else-sorry.

sorry, didnt mean to ignore your question GBS is group b strep. during labour it was transferred from the vagina into my uterus, where it went undetected for over a week
i have been seen by LWH and they didnt seem to have many answers for us. it was v frustrating. we placed so much hope and faith in them

Do you mind repeating your email address again Queen as I'm not sure what it is for transferring money, thank you x

sorry, its my paypal address and is

ls . wltn @ googlemail . com

without spaces.

Thank you, I'll transfer some money now. Hope you are feeling as well as possible x

queen sorry to hear your news - I have been to see Dr Shehata so if you would like to speak this over with me I would be happy to talk through it with you and my experience. I went to him after 2 miscarriages. Happy to donate as well, as I know how expensive it all gets!!!!
let me know if you have any questions or I can help ....
sending you lvoe and hugs during this time ...

Did not realise this was you, Lissie. So sorry for you.

Don't ever think for a moment that you are a failure.

Have sent you a small donation via paypal. Hope that you can get somewhere with this doc, sounds like he is really great.

Brilliant lissie I am so glad you have got an appointment

I will psypay my contribution tomorrow, ill be using my dfs account.

Do you think it is worth someone making another post in chat ? I know a lot of people have aibu hidden and I am sure there are loads more people on here who would love to help you than have read this post.

Id do it myself but Whenever I read my posts back they always sound shit!

Hope your feeling ok lissie x

you are all so lovely and so kind, I don't know what to say!

kruger, that would be great thanks. how many appontments did you have with him?

thank you to everyone who has donated so far, I shall send individual emails out now xx

I'm sat here with tears streaming down my face, partly because of everything you've been through Lissie/Queen, and partly because of the generosity of MNers. Lissie you were really lovely to me when I was weeping and wailing the Hut last year and I am so so sorry this has happened to you again.

Just going to send you a small donation, its not much but I hope it will help. I'm really glad you got an appointment so soon.

worzel yes I think another trhead in chat would be a great idea - IF ok with lissie (hope you dont mind me using your name) I am crap at writing things though and not a well known poster so dont think Im best one to do it........

thank you polly, im glad i helped you x

I still cant believe how generous everyone has been. of course I dont mind another thread. x

Lissie

Its Heebeejeebee (hoped a new name would bring me luck, but not so far)

I'm so so sorry to hear about this, but definitely go and see Mr Shehata

I see Mr Shehata privately (despite living in Epsom!) and it isn't too bad financially - once you've had the initial consultation, he doesn't need to see you that regularly, and the steriods are relatively cheap (I think the prescription was £20).

He is also an expert in conceiving (has been helping me out here too) so I'm sure he will ask you, but do mention about the clomid etc to him. He is the only person in my myriad of appointments who has actually listened to the foibles of your cycle with interest..

Cheryl is his private PA and she's lovely. Liz is his NHS PA (also lovely!), not sure who the person is that that article quoted!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask

hi heebee, how many appointments have you had with him? and at which hospital? not "seen" you in yonks!

Hi - I've lurked from time to time, but just waiting for IVF and got thoroughly depressed by the whole thing and stuck my head in the sand!

When I was seeing him just for the m/cs at Harley St I saw him I would say, every 3 months? Because he knew my NHS consultant in Epsom they told me they could increase the dose of the fertility drugs if I saw him privately. DH and I thought it was worth a go (cheaper than IVF) so I saw him monthly for that for the follicle tracking scan. For that appointment, depending on which day it fell, I saw him either at Harley St (Monday afternoons or every other Wednesday) or at his private clinic in Epsom, or at Ashtead hospital.

In all, I've been seeing him for 9 months and can honestly say he kept me sane through some very dark times..

Will contribute lissie xxx

thank you gibbon xx

heebee (is it ok if i call you that?) it sounds like the treatment has been really good. Im qute excited! (may be posting to ask for directions from marylebone though spot the country-bumpkin)

lissie petal will you let me know if it goes through ok? am worried I may not have right card details registered (may be an old one) so please let me know (you can message me on FB have made a friend request) xx

its come through, will accept you now.
