My dating scan is 29th August when I will be 13+2 but I'm not worried as I've got my third scan next Friday at 10+2. The dating scan will be the first one DH has been to so it will be very exciting seeing the Prambino with him. Smile

HotCross, it is so exciting, innit? My dating scan is the day before my birthday so I will wait until then to celebrate on Facecrack.

Oh holycow you're such a sweetheart. Thank you for thinking of me when you're having a rough time yourself. I hope you are keeping well

Thanks

Hi all, thought I'd give you an update before I move back to the August BFP thread.

After my clearblue test showed 1-2 weeks on Fri when I knew I should be 2-3 or 3+ weeks by that point I was really upset. Had to go to work as I had a meeting and people were travelling from the South to meet with me, but was incredibly distracted. About lunchtime I saw pink CM which fairly quickly turned to fresh red blood. Was distraught Friday afternoon. Pulled myself together for a GP app, who was lovely and made me an appointment today at the EPAU.

I knew things weren't right over the weekend. Did a few tests which were getting lighter and lighter and came to terms with miscarriage over the weekend.

Today's internal scan showed no sac. No anything. Did a blood HCG test and heard late tonight my levels are almost down to non pregnant levels. Dr said by my levels they think I miscarried last week, so very very early. The good news about that is that so far miscarriage has been relatively pain free, a few strong cramps but not much worse than general monthly pains.

I'm doing ok now. Was quite pleased to have a conclusive answer tonight even though there were a few more tears from me, and some from DH who I think only really properly took it in tonight.

We are going to get right back on it. So hopefully I'll get my sticky BFP soon enough.

Thank you for all your support that you have given me. It really made a difference to have such lovely people to talk to about everything. Good luck to you all with everything. I will check this thread around the end of March next year to hear about all your lovely little babies. Xx

holycow and impatiently do so sorry, lots of luck in the future.

JK10 · 30/07/2013 11:04

Feeling emotional today! Not like me! Had a bit of a text off with my sis this morn and ended up in tears!! Wow! Sort myself out!!

FoxMulder · 30/07/2013 11:14

So sorry impatiently. If it's any small consolation I had that same thing last month and here I am again...

MortifiedAdams · 30/07/2013 11:22

Hello to.newbies and massive condolances to those who.have had losses.

Had my bookin in tgis morning - went well, same MW as last time plus a student. Ive discussed my want for a waterbirth, and it seems its a rareity round these parts so hopefully no queues for the pool. Ive also agreed to be a case load for the student who needs to follow five women through pregnancy with the aim.of delivering at the end too. Quite exciting!

Beccadugs · 30/07/2013 11:24

Still having brown jelly this end. Saw a lovely GP who made me cry she was so nice. Am now on the EPU books and have the hotline number. If the brown sludge continues they will see me tomorrow.

PramelaAndherson · 30/07/2013 12:08

Impatiently, I am so sorry.

rescoonetwothree · 30/07/2013 12:18

Sorry to hear of the bad news, hope everyone's doing as ok as possible!

I have a scan booked for Friday at 3pm at the EPU because of light bleeding, terrified because last time this was what happened but hopeful at the moment because i know it's not necessarily a bad omen at all. I know that if all is well I will be at the magic 8 weeks so focusing my energy on that potential outcome.

JustCallMeBaldrick · 30/07/2013 12:20

So sorry to hear of all the recent losses.

I got the date for my scan and NT test today - 15th August!! On my LMP dates I'll be 12 weeks exactly, and going by my early scan I'll be 11+4, so it'll be interesting to see what they say :-)

LyraSilvertongue · 30/07/2013 13:03

Greymoose, the "magic 8 weeks"? Is there something about 8 weeks that I don't know?

FoxMulder · 30/07/2013 13:07

I think if you see a heartbeat at 8 weeks, that's pretty much as good as seeing one at 12. Statistically speaking. Something like 98% chance of a live birth.
