Had a miscarriage and due in April 2015? shall we try not to scare the other ones?

[TinyTear]

Hello

Having had 5 mcs and 1 DD I am not feeling very hopeful (juest realistic) even though I am doing different things than before...

4w today and on cyclogest pessaries since CD21...

Maybe we could have a separate thread to the biiiig one so we don't scare the others with our (my) negativity...

Welcome

TinyTear, 40, 1 DD, 5mcs, due in April but don't want to know the exact day...

Feeling very unpregnant today, literally no nausea at all, and a pain on my left side that doesnt feel like the ovary pain I think I have been having until now, hoping its just wind.

Try not to worry tinytear, you know not to worry unless theres lots and its red xx

Welcome babycakes.

Tiny - I hope the spotting has stopped. I had spotting with both my successful and unsuccessful pregnancies so it can go either way but horrible none the less. When were your other mcs?

I am also stressing as I feel quite well today. But I did have a better sleep so that probably helped. Is it wrong that I am hoping to feel horribly nauseous soon? Last time I enjoyed (in a way) morning sickness as at least it reminded me I still had symptoms and kept the stressing down. The days I felt better I went into panic mode.

It was just a tinge on wiping and hasn't happened since. Nothing more I can do...

LIG I know what you mean - I've had the odd bit of nausea here and there and I'd like it to be a bit more constant too be honest!

Hi everyone, very happy to find this thread.

DontBeBlue, 1MMC, due 1st Apr

Have been lurking on April thread and pregnant after MC thread, but been too scared to post. Feeling a bit braver now. I had a MMC in May, discovered at 7+4 but miscarried around 5. Opted for natural management and waited 6 weeks for all bleeding to stop. This was the first cycle, so hard to be sure of dates, but think I'm now 7-8 weeks.

Symptoms this time have been stronger, experienced strong sense of smell (that was what gave it away), nausea and aversion to different foods which changed by the day. Boobs also sore and bigger. Last time around i had no nausea or related, so trying to take it as a positive sign. My BFP was also very strong compared to weak lines last time.

I'm living in the Far East so no specific booking in, scan procedures to look forward to, i think I'll go to the hospital around 12 weeks, so 5 weeks from now.

Recently considering going home for the birth.... certainly lots to think about in the next 8 months.

Best of luck to everyone, today we are pregnant

Welcome don'tbeblue and congratulations :)

Today I am Pregnant...

did a sneaky test yesterday and it was still positive, but trying not to think beyond the next scan... 5w today..

Hi Can I join please?

I have been lurking on both posts but haven't been ready to post on either, but finally taking the plunge.

I found out yesterday that I am 6 weeks pregnant, having waited an agonizing 2 weeks to test!

Having had lots of 'late' periods and disappointing BFNs in the 22 months while TTC, I decided to promise myself not to have hpt in the house and not to buy one until I was 2 weeks late......

So here we are....I finally got my BFP on a cheapy yesterday, and re-tested with a CB digi this morning where I got a PREGNANT and 3+

Prior to the 22 months, we had 2 mcs @ 6+4 and 7+2. I never achieved the correct reading on the CB digi with these pregnancies though, so today's test has given me a small amount of confidence to post.

I still feel like period is just around the corner, as am having AF type cramps, feel sick and bloated. Why cant the two things just have completely different symptoms!? I am in the toilet every 5 minutes checking, luckily I am off work for summer holidays so no nosy work colleagues to notice

I feel weird that I have awaited this result for so long, but at the same time I cant feel excited, but am then feeling guilty that I might jinx something if I am not like 'Yay I am pregnant' the whole time. I guess once you have experienced mc, until you actually have a babe in arms is hard to believe it will actual happen. Please tell me I am normal.

My stats are: I have one lovely little girl (10) who I am very blessed to have. EDD 08.04.15 2mc TTC #2 for 22m

Look forward to riding this journey with you all. TP x

Welcome teacher
I too am frantically knicker checking all day!

I have quite strong AF type cramps this morning - there are making me worry a lot. I'm really starting to feel that this one isn't going to work :(

Welcome to the world of knicker checking... Shouldn't wish time away but I wish 12 weeks were here...

Me too tinytears me too x

I'm 7 weeks today!! Trying to be positive, scan on Tuesday and no bleeding so far, I really hope there's a little one in there!!

This tiredness has crept up another level and I felt particularly rubbish yesterday but managed to properly go to the loo (tmi!) And felt better,hopefully that's what's been causing the funny pain and I won't get it today.

Still knicker checking here to and its been over a week since I last did a test, might do one this weekend tho.

Hello teacher !

hooray for 7w!

I'm only 5+1...

Good luck for your scan, you should be able to see a good hb then

Hello teacher and welcome. I am also an obsessive knicker checker and it is always a relief when there isn't any blood. I can also relate to not feeling excited as at the moment I am focusing on staying pregnant and not really thinking about a baby. I think that is the tough thing with the other ante-natal threads is when other people are planning for a baby at the 1st bfp.

Shetland - could the cramps be constipation. Like lil I felt a few sharp cramps yesterday but then managed a poo (sorry tmi) and felt a lot better.

Tiny - when is your scan?

Just off camping this weekend. Never done sober camping since guide camp aged 11 (which I hated). This was planned as part of the whole keeping busy to take my mind off not getting pg. Been waking up very early and having trouble getting to sleep feeling sick so hoping it isn't a disaster.

Exactly LIG and talking about prams and stuff...

I didn't buy anything for my DD until the 20w scan!

My scan is next wednesday, i will only be 5+6 so not expecting a HB but it's to see if all in the right place then i start heparin

Oh yes I really hope so tiny I am so up and down with how positive I feel, just when I think I can get excited another symptom disappears on me, this morning I felt really quite sick but the soreness in my boobs had eased off completely, back again now though, so of course I spent most of this morning thinking that we are going to have to go through this all again.

I do seem to have lost that funny old pain on the left today so hoping it was just being backed up that was causing it.

I'm gutted today as I don't have the time for a nap :-( think I'll be in bed by about 830....

Yep - symptoms definitely shouldn't be allowed to come and go . A nice steady constant would be great.

That said, my cramps may well have been bowel related - fx'd they don't return, I can't take the anxiety.

Thanks for making me feel so welcome.

Fx'd for everybody's up and coming scans. Hope for every one that they are all in the correct place, and developing as they should be. I have one booked in for Wednesday, when I will 7 weeks from LMP. Quite frankly I'm pooping myself about it!

I have just been on YouTube goggling early scans so I could see what to expect as never got to have early scans with DD or mc. Hopefully we can see a clear hb flickering away.

LIG Hope you have a good time camping. I fostered a Cat and her kittens as a bid to take my mind off TTC, and to satisfy my broodiness. That has now backfired as I can now not stand the smell of their food , and cleaning up the poo of 4 cats isn't helping the nausea either.

Lila & Shetland Glad to hear that your pains are reducing. All these twinges can be so scary

Well my clear blue digi said pregnant 2-3 weeks so that's good. And I feel a bit sick too - yay!!!

Camping so far is going well but it is a 10 mins walk to the toilet and I cannot go through the night. It seems like my body absorbs water during the day and then lets it out at night. Ended up going outside of the tent overnight.

Teacher - I think around 7.5 weeks the baby was like a newt with a head and tail. Around 9 weeks dd was like a gummy bear and very cute looking.

Been feeling less sick today trying to enjoy it but tough. Hope it is a mixture of lots of food and a good sleep rather than anything more sinister. Dh is trying to remind me that I used to be like that when pg with dd too and it is very early. He did bug me last night though getting excited about dc2. I am ok talking about dc2 and would love this baby to be dc2 but there is a long way to go.

Glad it's ok LIG - tbh I've wee'd outside many tents in my time without being pregnant! Just watch out for nettles

Hi ladies, can I tentatively join here?

I had a mmc at 10 weeks in June this year. Bean only measured six weeks so had been sleeping a month before we or my body realised. Had an ERPC 23rd June with my first AF showing up 4 weeks later. We've been so so lucky in that we've caught this cycle - positive FRER yesterday at 13dpo after a negative test at 10dpo.

So my due date is 25th April if I get that far. I'm hugely mentally scarred from my first pregnancy ending in MMC and so although I'm delighted, I'm mostly terrified knowing that a BFP doesn't always mean a baby for me.

Only symptoms here are peeing ALOT (didn't have this with the first pregnancy), tiredness and my dog following me everywhere - just like when I got my BFP in May, he knew about a week before me!

Welcome oneday - sorry for you loss, and congratulations on your bfp.
Love the idea of your dog knowing before you did :)
