June 2014 Bus for those with RMC issues

[NorahVanstone]

Hello everyone, welcome to our new hopeful but slightly paranoid bus!

NorahVanstone edd 6th June, 4 previous MC

What does this 'bus' thing mean? I have a due date in June. Sorry if this is silly question but I looked and looked for an explanation and couldn't find one!

Hi sarah, you probably want to join the regular June bus for ladies expecting babies in June, link is here. This thread is for those of us with recurrent miscarriage worries, so I hope you are lucky enough not to be in our club ! link

So sorry to hear that tigs. Look after yourself

Pjen it is very understandable that you don't want to go on your own! how scary and horrible, nobody should have to go through that alone. Have you thought about asking a close friend or another relative to go with you?

Here's hoping that london or I have some positive news at our scans today/tomorrow or this thread really is jinxed! I've been feeling really sick today so I hope that is a good sign...

katandkit forgot to say that I had a 2-3 on CB digi at 5+1, it had gone up to 3+ at 5+6 so try not to panic too much, I'm sure it is all fine!

Hello all,

I had my scan and I'm measuring very small for my dates. But..... I saw the heartbeat!

I didn't want to post when I got back as I know that a few of us are going through a difficult period right now. I'm thinking of you all and wishing you a speedy journey through this difficult time.

Penguin best of luck with your scan tomorrow.

Yay for london. Seems we are not all jinxed after all!
So penguin tomorrow and me on Wed, FX for some more good news.

Aww, lovely news london, congratulations! Here's hoping this is the turning point.

London that's great news! You must be so relieved to get to this stage.

We need to celebrate and commiserate on this bus I think. The regular June bus isn't short on celebration, but I like the honesty and mix on this one much more, and would have wanted to stay even if everything was going to plan...

Oh I am so happy for you London!!! Excellent news!!! Exactly what our thread needed to be about more cheerful!! :D

Thank you so much Tanny, London and pen for your beautiful words. We came here two years ago and moved for work. I know a lot of nice people but have no close friends to share such a thing with. I talked with DH and we decided to wait till he is back. :) I feel better making a decision. :)

pen good luck for your scan tomorrow!!!

Yes, good luck tomorrow penguinita and good luck on Wednesday carrot. Fingers and toes firmly crossed!

pjen glad to hear you're waiting.

Late joiner and haven't got through all the posts.

Got a bfp on thurs(16th) but am now slying in hospital with possible ectopic and bleeding. Don't know if little bean is sticking or not.

Feeling sorry for myself

Judt wanted to add that if this turns out to be mc willbe onlymy second so might not qualify!! Mmc in march this year. This pregcame about from clomid that was trying to restart periods after various other attempts failed.

Welcome excited you are very welcome on this thread. And you are allowed to feel sorry for yourself.

Thanks Tanny & Pjen. I'm feeling a little relieved but not fully accepted that everything is OK. My DH gave me a good telling off and said that I should stop worrying and start to enjoy the pregnancy. He can't grasp the fact that I'm riddled with fear for things going wrong and that I'm very paranoid that I do not have MS and do no feel pregnant! My only symptom is bloatness ( is there such a word?!)

Pjen I'm pleased that you are waiting. It'd be great to have support. Hang in there!

Penguin best of luck with your scan.

Excited welcome and you are in the right place if you are looking for support. We have really lovely ladies on this thread.

Hi ladies,

I hope you don't mind me popping in. I haven't caught up on what I've missed. I'm really confused.

I had what I thought was a mc last Tuesday at 6+1. No EPU here so rang mw who agreed it sounded like a mc but to take another test in a week and call them.

Have just taken a test and it's positive - line was stronger than the last time I tested at 5w.

Don't know whether I should get my hopes up. Perhaps I tested too soon and the hormones are still present? With my last mc I tested 2 weeks after the bleeding and got a bfn.

Will give mw a call today and see what they say. They may ask me to come in, or wait another week (the Dutch are a bit laid back so half expecting the latter!).

Wecome excited, hope you are not having an ectopic

Engels would they send you for a scan? That would be the best way to make sure, or check the hcg two days apart. otherwise you just won't know...

PJen good decision to wait. I have gone alone to all my mc scans, but that is because i didn't want my husband to have the bad scan association, silly, but i cope alone

london heartbeat! that generally improves your chances quite a lot. good luck!!

Engles oh my! Go and see your mw asap! That sounds like you might have a sticky. And a tenacious one at that!

How exciting!

Typical!
Even though Friday after the scan I phoned to cancel it all, I just had a call to say I was late for my booking appointment.

If I was in my first mc I would be in floods of tears here at work...

can one department pass on the info to the other department?

Just spoke to mw on the emergency number which she told me to phone and she's going to email me an appointment for this week for an echo to see what's going on. I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I've done my grieving for this bean and don't want to have to grieve for it again (iyswim).

I'm sorry I still haven't caught up on what's been happening with you all. At work in between lessons right nowand just about to head back into the classroom (forced myself to finish my set of marking before I phoned mw as I knew I'd be too distracted once I'd spoken to her and straight on MN ).

Tigs , Tiny and tanny So sorry to read your posts

Tiny how insensitive I hear so many stories like this. It's so heartbreaking.

Have heard back from mw and I have a scan on Thursday lunchtime which means DH will be able to come with me.

Fingers crossed for you Engels!

Tiny when I was pregnant with DC1 in London, the same happened to me couple of times. They would call while I had gone earlier for bleeding to EPU and EPU lady told me to not come for the scheduled scan as it is not necessary. LOL. Here my ob gyn has a scan in her office so I don't have to go to hospital and they can scan me till the end (although we are moving back to Europe) and it is much much better to deal with one ultrasound tech throughout.

Engles I am happy to see you back!! You might just have had a SCH. They are very very common and I am hoping that I have one too. :) Is your bleeding gone? Are you still spotting? Is Echo the dutch word for ultrasound?

London unfortunately once you have had one miscarriage the nativity that allows you to enjoy pregnancy will be gone for good. Having said that being worried doesn't help the little bean you have as stress hormones are not good. I try to brush the negative thoughts from my brain when they come and not allow them to nest there. It is what it is and I keep repeating to myself : "there is nothing I can do to help if the babies are not sticky". I have done everything I can. I even spent over 10000 USD out of pocket to a famous repeat miscarriage Dr in California to ensure I have been tested for everything possible on the earth. I am taking multiple medications daily to avoid miscarriage. There is nothing else I can do and this allows me to calm down in a strange way.

Tiny you are a strong woman :) I used to go alone too as DH is never in town but I got very depressed after the last miscarriage for couple of weeks and he wasn't around. The feeling was so bad that I don't want to feel it ever again alone.

Welcome excited. I do pray that it is not ectopic. Let us know how it goes.

Jen
