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

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.

hey WellAndTrulyBuffied... nice to see you, to see you nice Wink

How's everyone feeling today?

Had a really positive appt this morning at the recurrent MC clinic. The consultant was lovely.

Basically if I get pg again, I will get scans at 6/8/10/12 weeks, and immediately I will be under his care.

He reiterated what I'd already learned at the private clinic and was appropriately empathetic to my situation.

I didn't want or expect a "it'll all be ok" type chat, it was just really reassuring that I would get lots of handholding and support next time round.

Even with 43 looming next month, and after 3 MCs, with the all-clear results I have had, there is a 60% chance of another pg NOT ending in MC. (In fact he said slightly higher as I already have a child).

I'm realistic about the chances of having another child, and although I am/will try again, I'm doing it with a more balanced approach.

I feel in quite a good place acktshally.

Take care y'all x

Thinking of you for tomorrow's scan pv, got everything crossed for you.

digitalgirl · 31/01/2011 13:23

Cross posted - that is great news jollster

My follow up appt is this month. All tests have also come back clear (although still waiting on karytoyping) - hope I get the same reassurance as you do. Over 60% is pretty good, I'd be happy with those odds myself.

SameOldJollster · 31/01/2011 13:33

digi I have it all crossed for you too. We have similar histories IIRC, except you're a absolute youngster in comparison to me I think? Here's hoping pg#5 is a happy one for us both x

PrettyVacant1 · 31/01/2011 18:40

Cheers Didge Smile
I've been thinking, I've done all I can, demandedgot drucks, stayed relatively sane Hmm there's bugger all I can do about it now.
It's nothing I haven't dealt with before.
If all is well , then I'll be panicking. Grin

Jolliebobs yeah for supportive docs, knowing you'll have the hand holding and support has been proven to work wonders.
I remember my Consultant saying re the trial the placebo effect has great results. IYKWIM.

tigger15 · 31/01/2011 22:03

Thanks PV. I'm 6+1. Tomorrow morning is my first scan. I don't know if I'll be able to look. The mc never got past 5+6 according to the hospital, although it took another 4 weeks for the minimal bleed to start. So I'll know tomorrow if this one has gone the same way.I keep on trying to convince myself that whatever happens at least I've proved that I can get pg again which I was severely doubting.

I hope yours goes well tomorrow. Do you have someone coming with?

Jollster it's very nice when they're supportive. Really makes a difference to the whole experience. Even makes you grin and bear the hour wait to book your next appt....

Good luck Tiggs just try to close your eyes, think of a happy place, take deep breaths until they say everything is fine.

I did not crane my neck trying to look at the screen and I certainly didn't remonstrate the poor sonographer saying she really should speak more clearly when mumbling the words baby and heartbeat.Blush

Is someone going with you?

PrettyVacant1 · 01/02/2011 09:27

All is well, grooving and boxing away!

Hooray pv so very very pleased for you!!! When do you stop taking the roids?

Wishing tigger lots of luck too.

I had some tell tale cramping overnight, so despite only being 10-12dpo I may have done a little test this morning. It was the very faintest of the faint positive. Shall wait and see what happens this weekend. Feel like a veteran of this sort of thing...

SameOldJollster · 01/02/2011 12:46
