Hey Edie and Lynne

[Jossie]

I know we mentioned having a "chat" thread as well, do you still fancy one or not ? I'd like to be on the original thread as well.

Hiya
Good to hear from you both
Good to hear about DH and the scan Lynne.
Strange thing about you and your fry ups-with DS1 I ate sausage sandwiches to stop me feeling sick, with DS2 it was McDonalds bacon rolls! My cravings were slightly healthier though, ice lollies (not the creamy ones) first time round, apples the second.
We are now officially TTC!! A bit scary .
Warning TMI coming up, at least if we aren't successful this month it won't be for lack of trying!!
Hope you are ok, as well Edie (are you going to carry on TTC?)
Chrismas ok, bit of a cold, got some lovely silver jewellery from DH-so well impressed!

Hey girls. Great to be back in touch after Christmas. Hope you are both good and Lynne Im glad about the scan-great news. Sounds like you are doing well.

Well I have some news...did a test this morning and got a BFP!! It was a Boots digital one and showed up very quickly. However I thought I had messed it up as I accidently pulled the strip out when I was trying to put the cap back on but it says that in that case you get an error sign. To be sure I also did a Tesco cheapy one and that was also BFP!!! That showed up quickly as well-don't even know when my AF is due but I guess now!!

Haven't really got many symptoms-some pains in my breasts and quite tired (plus v breathless!)

Anyway it's my day off today and everyone seems to be busy so think Im going to have to just watch some TV!!....

Fantastic Edie!!!
I'm really pleased for you-lets cross fingers that I can make it 3 (not holding my breath though).
You've really made me smile with your news.

EDIE, THATS BRILLIANT NEWS!!!!!!
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!

Jossie, hope you are well,ive been ok today,think ms is coming to an end(fingers crossed) Although not had it that bad compared to ds.

Just going to bed now girls, im back at work tomorrow

Take carexxx

Girls, think im going to have to tell my family im pg tomorrow as we have all been invited down to stay at my brothers for the weekend didnt really want to tell anyone until after the 18th,but with us all being in the same house dont think i can hide the ms or the bump thought ms was coming to an end but thought wrong!! Shit, dont really know what to do, should i try and hide it or just tell. its more ds im worried about, as the last ime he was v disappointed about mc, suppose i'll have to talk it over with dh later and then make a decision.

Hope you are both well!! xxx
Edie, im so,so excited about your news!!
Josie,hope you are wellx

Had to see on-call doc tonight due to terrible back pain. They can't say or do anything but im unsure as to whether it is a mc or not...

Edie,hope things are ok, please keep us up to date, as we'll be worried sick xxx

Oh Edie
i hope you are ok

Hi girls.

Sorry, did not want to worry you. Had back pain all of yesterday which became increasingly worse. Saw on call nurse who was quite unsympathetic and did a pg test and told me it was positive so I was still pregnant. I really wish professional people were better trained when it comes to threatened miscarriage. I explained that 7 weeks post my ERPC I still got positive pg tests. She did a urine test which shows some keytones but no infection so obviously not drinking enough.

Today it is still sore but not as bad so I don't know. Haven't got a very good feeling but would be so relieved if I find out baby is OK.

I know there is nothing they can do but im also confused as to how far I am as my last period was 6th Dec so im surprised that pg tests are showi8ng up this early. I must only be just under four weeks at the very most.

Will keep you updated as I have passed a message on to my GP this morning and so hopefully he will get back to me. Im not going into work today.

Are either of you around? Pain is till quuite bad today. Having a scan Fri but pretty sure I have mc

Edie
I'm on line now-how are you doing?
Was your AF in Dec like a normal one? Could it be poss that you were pg already?
I can't beieve the ignorance of the nurse-I had the same when I was away, the doctir did a pg test to see if I was still pg, even though I knew it didn't mean anything.
Sorry to hear how you are, let's hope it is unrelated to the pg, I didn't get any pain initially with either of my m/cs, the first one was quite painless throughout. The other one was agony as the haemhorragge began, but not before. Was your last one like this?
Thinking of you

Edie, ive also got say i didnt have any pain with mc...but did in early pg,not as severe as it sounds with yourself,god this is so awful, i feel so helpless!! Wish there was more we could do for you xxx Oh god, im thinking of you, couldnt get to sleep last night for thinking of you,was telling dh about you (hope you dont mind) he was saying it was v sad,having to go through this horrible experience. My fingers are crossed that everything will be ok for you xxx Its just so horrible what we have all gone through and even more so as these thoughts are never out of our minds even once pg!! Have you had any bleeding or discharge???
Hope you are ok! xxx Same with yourself Jossie xxx

I will keep checking in tonight to see if you are around xxx

Hope you are ok Edie,i wont be around tomorrow as we leave early in the morn to go to my brothers,will check back in on the sunday as we should be home early,dh is nightshift sunday night,take it easy try a hot water bottle on your back if you are still in pain as that helped me alot.
Thinking of you xxx

I'm at Mum's at the W/E but will check in when possible Edie-Best wishes
Lynne have you told your family yet?

Thanks girls. I didn't have this with other mc, no. And I can't really remember last AF, think it was pretty normal but I guess I could be quite a bit pg. I do suffer from a bad back and my mum always warned me it would be bad during pg but im unsure...it feels quite stiff aswell. Its pretty bad, im taking paracetamol for it. Im going to make sure that I write to chief exec and MP about the treatment of miscarrying women when this is over. There should be better protocol and women should be cared for when experiencing mc, both physically and emotionally. Its pretty disgusti9ng that there are health care professionals who believe that a positive pg te4st still means you are pg.

I've had long chats with my doctor about the care of miscarrying women-as I feel the emotional side is forgotten. In the Channel Islands, where I had my 2nd m/c the healthcare is private and the hospital care was fantastic. The consultants themselves scanned me and one in particular spent a long time talking about the emotions of it all and let us use his room for as long as we wanted to talk to each other in private. I think that that level care should be available here.
I have a real thing against the midwife at my local EPU as I felt that she was really uncaring, but I've been told by friends that have had the same injections as I will need, that her attitude changes when you are undergoing treatment. I think it almost becomes routine for them dealing with m/cs where it isn't for us.
Sorry to rant on, it's a bit of a hobby horse of mine.
That aside, I think things sound hopeful for you Edie, although it must be terrifying for you. Hope you are ok

What's hapenning Edie? How are you?

Well the pain has stopped now. Still got pg symptoms, they are more prominent then ever this morning. Im hoping it was just the ligaments going soft for birth and because my back is vulnerable enyway (I have a dodgy back at the best of times) it was particularly painful. Here's hoping for Friday. Keep your fingers crossed and pray for me or something!!!!

How are your parents in Norfolk? You could have popped in on me!!!

Hi girls, not long back from my brothers, it was really nice, they have just bought a new house (id say a mansion,not house) so it was lovely and i got spoilt,yeh jossie had to tell them as i have a bit of a bump so couldnt hide it and si says she new weeks ago, she told my broth she thought i was pg due to glowing skin and v shiny hair, glad you are feeling a bit better edie, couldnt stop thinking about you over the weekend, i think things may be ok too edie(fingers crossed)i hope it is what you say,thinking it back my back was very sore wekks 5-8 so heres hoping xxx
Josie hope things are well with yourself,im still feeling a bit shitty today, felt brilliant yesterday so not complaining and tomorrow i'll have 10 more days to wait until scan so cant wait till thats over with. Well girls take care! Edie keep us up to date with how you are keeping xxx

Hi girls. Glad you are both back

No back pain today but feel very bloated and kind of stretched if that makes sense. Bit uncomfortable. Did either of you get this. Lynne, im so relieved to hear that you had back pain aswell!!

Love to you both xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi girls, yeh edie i did and still do get the bloatedness,infact i have it right now, ive replaced my tea and coffee with cup of boiled water and this seems to help me,think it was the jaffa cakes i ate, havent been able to eat choc since i became pg but felt i had to give it another go
and now im regreting it big time,so wont be eating that again, it probably wasnt the choc as some days i have this, some i dont,but the boiled water helps me,at first i thought no way could i drink that but now i just drink it and think nothing of it.
I hope you are feeling better xxx

God im hoping and praying so badly that this one sticks and the scan shows it is OK although realistically im sure there is nothing than can be seen at 5 weeks anyway.

This is how I felt last time, all stuffed and uncomfortable. Today I thought I could feel my pelvis expanding!

Hi Edie-Glad to know you're not aching today. I felt bloated with DS1 & 2, but I don't remember it specifically with mcs.
Lynne I wish I wasn't eating chocolate-I've consumed the most ridiculous amount over the past 2 weeks.
I think I'm having a imaginary pregnancy (not brave enough to hope for anything else!-af is due 13th -15th Jan, we have been TTC, boobs have felt a bit sore for past week, a bit achy in ovary / uterus area and today I felt a bit "odd", also very brief queasiness. Have done early pg tests as need to know asap for the inj-obviously BFN. Don't want to get my hopes up as I know the mind is very powerful tool and I could be "thinking" these pg symptoms-seems too early for them to me.
The amount of sweet stuff I've been eating, its likely to be a jelly baby!!
Good luck to both of you

Josie-good luck for a positive result!!!!

The bloated feeling I do remember from my miscarriage (although thinking about it it stopped around time that baby died) but hopefully this time it is a good sign.

Fingers crossed for lucky scan and positive for J!!!!!!!!
