Sad news from foundintranslation

[Ellbell]

I've just had an email from foundintranslation, who's currently on holiday with very limited internet access. It looks as if she is miscarrying again, possibly a blighted ovum. She's waiting for confirmation of the diagnosis and will probably have a d&c. Meanwhile, though, she is physically well and is continuing with her holiday.

She asked me to post this on here, as she knows that there are lots of us on here thinking of her and sending her good wishese and she wanted you to know her news.

As ever, FIT sounds so brave, and says that, despite everything, she is 'full of hope'. Let's use this thread to send lots of love and positive thoughts in her direction.

We are all thinking of you, FIT...

So sorry FIT

If working will help, even only as a distraction, that sounds reasonable. Have you been offered any counselling to come to terms with your loss?

be kind to yourself - your hormones are probably going heywire and not helping things.

Stick with your positive thoughts of earlier - just an unlucky coincidence (as you say they were different - so no real pattern). They do happen - don't over analyse it.

No-one's offered counselling, trib, but I have been thinking about contacting the MW who looked after me with ds, just for a chat. She's lovely. I reckon in time I will sort this myself, not least because, despite how I feel now, I am still optimistic overall. I just don't think (as you say, throckenholt) that there are any underlying causes, and getting pg certainly does not seem to be my problem.

quick bump.

So sorry you feel bad fin,

I don't know quite what to say to you to make you feel better, but i know how you feel, it's really hard. It feels like a bad dream.
How far along were you?

You will feel better with time. I also wondered why i got all the bad luck, when most women- older, unhealthier or whatever never m/c
I can only think of the saying "what doesn't kill us, will make us stronger"

You will have another baby fin, we both will!

Give DS a big, big cuddle, and if your that way inclinded some smoked salmon and wine.
Take care

Hello FIT - I'm just back from the GP to get the pathology results following a D&C. Like you I've had two consecutive m/c - one in May (at 6 weeks) and one at the end of August (should have been 11.5 weeks but turned out to be blighted ovum (not molar, thankfully)). GP said sheer bad luck - 1/4 pg end in m/c so unfortunate but not significant - yet. She said to rest a while (we've just moved back from Oz to UK, back to work, back to schools, nursery, unpacking our house etc etc). She said conceiving didn't seem to be an issue and if it happened again then she would refer to the mattie. V for you but hope there's some comfort in that you are conceiving and fingers crossed that you have a better result soon.

thinking of you FIT and have been ever since I read your thread. Sending so much love to you and a huge hug. There is so much support for you here.
