I got BFP this morning six months to the day after my MC, only 12DPO but so happy. Please pray this one holds on!!!! I am due on June 1 according to OV calendars so have the pleasure of starting this thread.

Anyone else out there or am I the only mental person who tests this early?

IM PATHETIC

sweetbean · 10/10/2007 08:56

Goingfor3 so sorry about mc at 20 weeks i can't imagen how terrible that must have been for you!

Do they know why ?

Lilypink · 10/10/2007 09:09

Its so frustrating that there isn't any consistency with how the drs treat us pregnant ladies. I have looked on the internet at different sites and it seems that in America they do alot of blood tests to see if pg is progressing in very early weeks - the only time I got blood tests was to check that I had completely m/c. I would love to have my levels checked right now.

I am off to the dr today to see if everything is ok with me - but I am pretty sure I will be told to go away and 'wait and see' - thats what I was told last time.

I was going to retest when I was 5 weeks which is tomorrow but predictably I couldn't wait and did it this morning - and I got a much stronger result so even though I don't feel in the teensiest bit pg I do feel more positive...

I totaly agree with all you saying that it is so stressful second, third, fourth etc time round, I am a woman obsessed. I hope you all start to feel better soon.

sweetbean · 10/10/2007 09:16

Thanks Lilypink hope all go's well for you !! xxxxx

systemsaddict · 10/10/2007 09:20

The other thing I guess sweetbean is looking after dc already we have less time to rest than before, and that makes everything worse.

I'm also the reverse of constipated, this was also true last time, the only time in my life I've NOT been bunged up, sorry if TMI! but apparently different people react to the progesterone in different ways on that front, so don't worry about it.

flosspot · 10/10/2007 10:01

Morning all- been hiding out for last few days as this is when I lost the last one. In all honesty I feel really weel- tired, hungry and melon-boobs, but that aside I feel great. But I woke with the complete certainty that I was going to mc and have spent the last three hours in tears. Feeling so wobbly and absolutely no basis forit....that's a symptom too, right?

I'm 6+5 and tempted to fake symptoms to get an early scan.....

systemsaddict · 10/10/2007 10:47

(((flosspot))) - yes the weepiness and wobbliness is a symptom but it's also natural for grief to hit again at full force at an anniversary time like this. Take good care of yourself and it's fine to cry, whatever you need to get through this difficult point, hope you'll feel better soon ((((flosspot))))

ronshar · 10/10/2007 10:59

Oh flosspot thats ok to feel all wobbly. Get used to it. I cried through my first pregnancy and havent really stopped since. My dd1 is nearly 8!
I cry at everything, books, Eastenders, sick animals. It is quite ridiculous.
The only thing I havent cried about this year is MC! Work that one out.

I cant believe I have been rumbled by NH101 and Flosspot.

I'm not really here yet as dont want to curse myself. Although I am having trouble seeing over my breasts already so all good so far!!

josey · 10/10/2007 11:55

Hello everyone
Feeling a bit on the pathetic side here also.
Stressing as I cant find any symptoms, boobs have settled, dont feel sick, even the cramping in my tum has gone. I do however want to stay in bed constantly and cant sleep no matter how hard I try. Im scared Im turning into a usless lazy lump that cant cope with life and a made up pregnacy

Huge Chocolate cake for us all I think

Lilypink · 10/10/2007 11:58

I went to see my dr who said - guess what.. wait and see! But I have to wait 2 weeks before they will scan me - that feels like forever. But reading other posts maybe it is best to wait until they can def tell what is going. My dr said at 6 weeks if the bean is just in the wrong position then you can't tell anything and are likely to have to go back.

I do wish that I got melon boobs when pg, I am really small and the one hope I ever had of filling a bra was being pg. With my dd I went DOWN a cup size!! Boobs stayed the same size and my ribcage got larger instead.

Do some of you know eachother from other threads?

systemsaddict · 10/10/2007 12:07

Hi Lilypink, I think several people know each other from TTC and MC threads - I'm new to MN though

Lilypink · 10/10/2007 12:33

I'm not the only new one then! I see your due date is the same as my dd - she was 28th may 2006 and was born 3rd June. I was originally given edd of 6/6/6 but managed to convince midwife that she was wrong . It looks like my edd for this one is my wedding anniv - 11th june which is nice.

Gmakes3 · 10/10/2007 12:51

Hello
Just found out BFP (about 6 weeks). Complete shock dd is one next week and had no intention of having another. Have to say feeling excited one moment and hellish the next. Hormones could have something to do with that. Have not really got any symptoms. Breasts already huge as I'm still BF dd. BF seems to be helping with morning sickness as I was terrible first time round also no sore boobs as yet. Have desparately ironed my new jeans to wear as I will not fit in them for much longer. Also realised that I'll be nearly 40 by the time I can go out on the razz because of BF. Happy days. Oh came as a shock as it took 7 years to get dd, finnally admitted defeat and had fertility treatment. Mother nature is a funny thing.

Kif · 10/10/2007 12:53

Rowrrr!

Ms is here now - not where I'm throwing up, but feel very non-specific unwell. House is a tip.

Feeling sorry for myself

Lilypink · 10/10/2007 13:08

Gmakes3 that is such good news about falling pg funny how a pregnancy gets the ball rolling. I know a couple who spent years trying, had ivf and then hey presto a second comes along with no help at all! And my cycles used to be all over the place before I had my dd and spotting inbetween, now they are bang on 31 days.

flosspot · 10/10/2007 13:42

Ronshar- LOL at crying at Eastenders- I cried yesterday when I didn't win a crib I really wnated on Ebay. Cried on the phone to plumber who has been promising to fix hot water for nearly two weeks. Then cried again today when we sold our house (again)....pitiful. Do you think if I told the EPU they'd give me a scan just to make me feel better?

basilbrush · 10/10/2007 13:50

Hi girls, magnificent 5+1 for me today. Tested again this morning and got much stronger line than last week so that has cheered me up a bit

NOt exactly spending all day with head down loo though, the odd wave of nausea but that's it...didn't have that much MS with DS tho, so hopefully not a bad sign

Bit stressful at weekend as visited my Mum. Haven't told her yet as after two m/c this year she would just stress herself to buggery so am going to wait until at least the 8 week scan and 12 weeks if am strong enough. She kept pouring me large glasses of red which I had to discretely chuck down sink!!

Have Upper Sixth grammar lesson, zzzzz, got to go

Hello all,

I saw the consultant today and now feel worse than ever. He doesn't think my last mc was due to measles he blames the stitch and says that I probably didn't need it in the first place but because I had my mc whilst it was still in place my cervix could be damaged now. He hasn't put a suture in for a woman since 1996 as he thinks they are unnesscary. Every 6 months he sees about 3 or 4 women who like me were treated at different hospitals and were given stitches, he has recommened that they all have regular scan with an emergency stitch if needed and no one has needed one for over 10 years. He told me the decision to stitch or not is mine but like me is worried about the damage from the mc, he has offered regular scan from 12 to 34 weeks fortninghly at the begining then weekly then fortninghly again. I think I will go for the scans but he said either way there is a risk of mc. I really am scared of having another late loss and I know if it happens agian dp won't try again. I am going to see hime again in four weeks to give him my final decison and I will have a scan at the same time. I feel sick at the moment but that's to do with nerves.

nh101 · 10/10/2007 14:04

Oh goingfor3 I don't know what to say. I can't believe you are going through this. What about a second opinion? If your original doc thought the stitch was necessary then maybe it was. I am so sorry he has given you this bad news, but you have to try to keep positive cos it is only a "risk" of MC.

Hi Lilypink, unfortunately a lot of us know each other from miscarriage threads - but it is not a clique, just a shared experience. Hopefully we will all be on this thread for the next eight months and will get to know each other even better!

My symptoms have subsided slightly which means I am now worrying. But I cried my eyes out at The X Factor on Sunday - that's a good sign isn't it?

debinaustria · 10/10/2007 14:08

Goingfor3 - ((((((hugs))))))) Not exactly what you wanted to hear, sounds like he's going to keep a good eye on you though with fortnightly scans, just the waiting game now though isn't it. Keep sticking baby!!

Gmakes3 - Congratulations, what a lovely surprise after all the heartache 1st time round.I've got 23 months between my boys and they are very close. I'll be 39 when this baby is born so I think a similar age to you, actually you've made me realise that when it's my 40th , baby would only be 6 months so no wild party for me then!! I think a baby more than makes up for it though!!

I've been looking at mums with babies today and inspecting their prams - need to make sure I get one I can push in the snow!! Looks like big wheels are the order of the day!!Obviously not buying anything for months yet, but it'snice to window shop isn't it?

debinaustria · 10/10/2007 14:10

nh101 - I cried so much at the X factor when they went from 6 to 3 and had to go home and tell their families - I was a wreck!!

Hello,

just tested positive this morning + want to join! Due 15th June. Still a bit nervous as am not even 5 wks yet & have had early mc before. Have 1 DD (15mths) .

Had a 'mare with doctors last time - didn't get to see anyone before dating scan at 17 wks.

Think my area provides 12 wk scans - what week do you advise going to the doctor - when do they start taking you seriously and booking you in to see the midwife?

Fingers crossed for everyone on the page!

goingfor3 · 10/10/2007 14:12

I just feel confised the stitch made me feel safe when I was pregnant with my girls but knowing that it may have infact caused my last mc has taken that away from me. I wish I could be excited at seeing so much of my baby but I'm just going to worry before each scan that something will bo wrong or that something is wrong and they have missed it or that something will go wrong straight after.

calebsmum · 10/10/2007 14:37

Aahh ds just chucked a glass of juice all over the sofa! Having a why do I want another one day today! Am eating for 8 and also have a constant upset stomach, have my first midwife appointment on the 31st and she will book me in for a 12wk scan.

Tryingfor3, so sorry your going through all this stress, just hope the doctor is right, DS was a threatened miscarriage and I found it so hard to relax with him as I had an early miscarriage 5yrs ago.

Am also window shopping, having lots of 'it's a girl feelings' at the moment! Have my list of names written out,

Megan Rose for a girl and either Isaac or Elijah Blue for a boy!

Welcome to the new BFP ladies!

flosspot · 10/10/2007 14:52

((((((((goingfor3)))))))

and welcome newbies....as NH said, we are not a clique, though we are all barking, but don't let that put you off!

6+5 today and feeling yicky.
