The resurrection of the 6th form common room for those inbetweeners who are TTC/PG after mc and are too long in the tooth to fit anywhere else

[notsobarrenmorebrokenbrook]

The resurrection of the 6th form common room, a place to put your feet up, wallow in self pity (me) or rejoice (and tremble in fright) at new growing beans and baybees after mc. No lists. No stats. No babydust. No feeling bad if you can't keep up.

Go.

Him this sounds good - i am too old at 43, already have 3 who are fine at school and growing and not little any more and have had 3 mcs- 2 recently. now preg with the next and only 5 weeks. slightly feel like keeping a weekend free in the next couple of weeks just in case it goes the same way- must reamin positive.

Fanjocam has got to be the best expression- 286 won't be a molar- that will be in the thousands.
good luck with the fanjocam.

Hi mouse sorry to hear the trauma continues. I had HCG of 255 three months after mmc, along with distended uterus and masses of tissue that had "regrown" during the month since my last scan (when uterus was clear), the head of the Molar unit at Charing Cross hospital looked at my scan and said he thought it looked like "classic" molar (so did local doc) but then tissues were analysed after my ERPC and found not to be molar. I never got an explanation of how they could have regrown like that (often suspect the Costa Rican lab got it wrong) I know how frightening it is even to suspect it might be molar and how horrible it is to just have everything dragging on and on. Please know that if it is found to be molar, those numbers are very low, so you would be looking at a quick recovery and very low likelyhood of needing treatment and most probably only a three month wait rather than 6 or 12. I really hope that it isnt anything like that though and I hope that this is all over soon.xxxx

hey. does any one mind if I just curl up here with my book and laptop for a while?
I'm waiting for my ERPC, still not quite able to believe this is no.3 in (less than) a year, 4 in total. HOW on earth did I manage to have DS??? I obviously had the Leiden Factor V with him, but had no meds, and he made it through. How do I do that again? Ok, I was 4 years younger and several pounds lighter but not that much has changed.

I'm thinking of having a few months back on the pill if I can get GP to prescribe it now that the clotting thing has been discovered. I really feel the need to forget all about ttc for a bit, it's all just a bit much right now.

I'm on a weird version of knicker-check now - desperate for the MC not to start naturally before I can get the ERPC done. No signs of anything so far, in fact I'm pretty sure body has no idea yet, still getting nausea.

Sorry to offload, it goes around in my head, and I just want it out. GP asked whether I'd be ok and also said I could have further investigations if I wanted, he could refer me now that I'd had three. Got to have a think about that.

I'm glad there's a friendly corner of MN to go to. Feel very fragile.

ladybee there's nothing I can say, but just wanted to send big big (((hugs))) to you. I remember very well the weekend between my mmc scan and the erpc and how I hardly dared move, I was so afraid of things happening naturally (they didn't) so I can really sympathise with how you're feeling there. It's just awful

I can understand you feeling like you might need a break, you've been through so much, and it must all be overwhelming right now. Just take things one day (hour? Minute?!) at a time and think it over. The same with the testing too, it's such a lot to take in all at once.

I wish there was more I could say...thinking of you xxx

mouse I'm sorry everythings still not resolved, that must be so worrying. Fx it's just taking its time to come back down

Big huge massive hugs bee xx

bee I wish you weren't here, but you know we're here for you, and make yourself at home. Hope you're doing ok today. x

wave to everyone

nicks we are too alike. Have no idea what GYM is either. And as for date night...?

I'm not even meant to be here,

who said that...

(((hugs)))

Second lot of HCG results in - all good

I did a month on the pill after my ERPC - it was a doctors recommendation and not my choice so I was unhappy about it at first, but it did give me breathing space. Felt like a really big weight off my shoulders. Please dont apologise for offloading, in fact do more of it, it will do you good and we dont mind in the slightest.

mouse I was given a paper about MP written by Dr Philip Savage who is head of the molar unit at Charing Cross. If you are interested I can forward it to you, its got lots of graphs on it that show how much treatment patients need based on HCG levels/age/previous pregnancies etc PM me if you want a copy.
Sorry that you have to spend the weekend mulling over the possible scenarios
Just want to say again,
If it is Number 2, taking two doses of cytotec might be enough to dislodge it instead of an ERPC.

If it is Number 3) you wouldnt necessarily need any treatment, just have your HCG checked until it hits

great news mummyA x

Thank you mummy and I'm really pleased to see your bloods are doing what they should If you don't mind I think I'll wait to see what Thursday brings then pm you for that paper - I'm v good at imagining I have all sorts of things!

Morning jolls

hey mouse, if it helps I giggle, yes GIGGLE, on fanjocam episodes . I just find it very ticklish. Oh the embarrassment and shame :(

Am chanting number one for you. Hope that's the diagnosis.

Hello everyone

I have only been gone a few hours and such a lot has happened!

mouse Rubbish news about your HCg - just to reassure you - after my first MMC that was medically managed - I bled for 9 weeks and the HCG took AGES to come down. I had dildocams on a weekly basis. I had some retained blood rather than tissue - but they said they would not take me for surgery and just let me get on with it. At the time I was not happy - but I did stop bleeding eventually and my HCG did fall. Just saying - you too might just be a 'slow faller' :)

mummyA My DP is sat reading all the messages and now thinks you are wired up to some sort of encyclopedia! Good news about HCG - I also got an email from Dr March - who recommends me to see DR Lower - but have already emailed him so just waiting.

jolls slight concern about the giggling over dildocam :) but I just lay back and think of England... :)

lady You make yourself comfortable and let us look after you for a while. I too was scared to death that I would start to MC naturally last October, I did pass a few clots but they still took me to theatre. I also have factor V and will have to go down the heparin route,- that is if I ever fall pregnant again :( - I also thought about going on the pill for a while, the DR might be reluctant to put you on the combined pill, but cerezette may be ok for you as it is progesterone only. xx

wave to izzy freezing BB and to babe (who I have not seen)

Me again.

Have just been told off by DP for not waving to everyone else:(

xx

loving MrCockerel and his socialist waving policy :)

Thanks for the reassurance battery and jolls I think it's fab that it makes you laugh - I think you must have experienced much gentler nursing staff than me!

Tee hee - Yes I do have access to a large encyclopedia of knowledge - it is called Google. Its a bit sad to think though, that if I was on Mastermind my specialist subject(s) would be infertility, molar pregnancies and Ashermans

battery good that you have made contact with Dr March, I totally recommend sending him any scans/HSG/Hyst films you get in the future too. If you want Dr Lowers phone/email let me know.

@ jolls giggling at dildocam - must admit I found it hard to keep a straight face the first time I saw them putting a condom on it, but mostly I am just relieved it is not the Dreaded Speculum.

Have a fab Saturday everyone.

YRMOTB is it pee time yet? How are you? xxx

I am in need of a project that is not baby or ttc related and am trying to persuade dh to let me get some guinea pigs. The dcs have been desperate to get another pet since our beloved dog died in September (he was nearly 14)...Am I mad?

(Sorry for quick post - going swimming!)

Izzy my 5 year old niece has two guinea pigs and adores them. They are quite handy for getting rid of all your kitchen food waste too.

Liking the sound of that mummya !! Have been doing some reading up on them and think they would suit us. Hope you're doing ok - has your dh got over the shock yet?

yrmotb - any news? x

mummya is it true you must never give a guinea pig potatoes? or crisps?

battery I remember taking cerazette after DS was born and I was BFing. I was on it about 3 weeks and descended into PND paranoia, stopped taking it and still had counselling but the mad obsessive thoughts and pure rage did stop pretty quickly. I'd be quite scared about going on to that.
It did also occur to me that if I'm going to take up GP's offer to refer me for further investigations, then I really need to not be on the pill.
Still pondering that one. As far as I can tell, I need to:

1. Find out whether insurance will cover costs of invesitigation
2. Find out what waitlists would be like for NHS clinic for Dr Shehata if not,
3. Find out what timeframes private Dr Shehata would be if so.

Hey there ladies, so this is where you are Hope you don't mind me popping on every now and again as I am so far behind with the other one I don't recognise anyone there!!!

Love the new and logos!!

Nowt happening in the BOA camp but ever hopeful.

Just saw ladybee news, so for you

MummyA how exciting and fx x10000 that its a stickler

I am meant to be out celebrating friend's birthday tonight but I have a poorly sick ds on knee so a on the sofa is in order instead. I haven't read everyone's news so I'm going to pour through this thread now...
