Dachs huge (((hugs))). I'm keeping everything crossed for the scan xxx

Silly so sorry to hear your news.

owlbooty · 10/02/2011 12:21

Dachs am crossing everything - v glad you have scan today. There seem to be so many of us that have had bleeding/spotting on this thread, hope the scan brings good news x

SillyCalamari · 10/02/2011 12:22

digitalgirl - thanks for your message. They say it's a new pregnancy because I'm still testing positive - despite what the Clearblue helpline says they reckon hcg levels should go back down to normal in 2 weeks after an 8 week miscarriage, esp after an ERPC - and that was 6 weeks ago roughly.
Take care

banana87 · 10/02/2011 12:24

Silly I tested positive 8 weeks after ERPC. Turns out I had a little piece of tissue remaining which was giving off HCG hormones. In the end I had to have a hysteroscopy, but it was definitely not a new pregnancy. Can you go and see a consultant? Hugs.

digitalgirl · 10/02/2011 12:30

sillyc yes, that's what it should be normally, but if the ERPC missed anything then you would have had retained product which would still keep your hcg levels going. Hope I'm not coming across as rude or dismissive of what you're going through now, but if it isn't a complete miscarriage then you need to get it looked at and taken seriously as there might be a risk of infection. I'm absolutely no expert on mc via erpc by the way, so someone may be along with better advice than me. Feel free to ignore me Smile.

OrangeGloss · 10/02/2011 13:43

Just nipping in to wish Dachs good luck with the scan, I hope you are getting some reassurance and come back on here with good news

DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/02/2011 13:49

Thanks for the support guys! :)

OK - I'm back.

Sac too small for dates, embryo with yolk sac but no heart beat. :(

Second sac (yep, there were two!) good size sac, embryo, yolk sac, heart beat! :)

And they gave me a DVD so I can show DH the heart beat when he gets home

HongKongBaby · 10/02/2011 13:54

yay dachs! When is your next scan? Hope you will see two heartbeats then.

DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/02/2011 13:58

HKB Next scan is on 22nd - I'm not holding out for two heartbeats because the sac was a lot smaller so it looks like a mc for twinnie but at least there's one there :) Two would be fab, but I'd be happy with one.

OP posts:
Wombat33 · 10/02/2011 13:59

Yay!! Dachs that's good news!!!! I'm soorery there weren't two HBs to see - could it just be a bit too early? Fab and brilliant that one is looking spot on though!!! Whoop!!

Wombat33 · 10/02/2011 14:00

Sorry - x-posts.

owlbooty · 10/02/2011 14:08

OMG Dachs ! What a rollercoaster you're on, bloody hell.

V.glad you're okay & isn't it the loveliest thing ever hearing/seeing a heartbeat? I could spend all day listening to it. So lovely you have a DVD for DH to see. x

DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/02/2011 14:20

owl it was AMAZING seeing the little flickery heartbeat.

it was actually all rather stressful - they initially did an external scan, where they saw one sac and no baby, so i was a bit gutted!

But then they did an internal scan and I saw pup number 1 with a little flicker going on, and then they found the other sac where we saw twinnie but not looking good.

So relieved! Now dreading the next scan in case the heartbeat disappears!

OP posts:
DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/02/2011 14:21

pup was 1.3mm - no idea whether that's a good size or not, and I'm stepping away from doc google so I don't scare myself, but if anyone knows whether 1.3mm is OK, can you let me know :)

OP posts:
Wombat33 · 10/02/2011 14:28

Dachs from what I can see that size is absolutely spot on!!

digitalgirl · 10/02/2011 14:37

Great news dachs!

PinkFondantFancy · 10/02/2011 15:46

dacha fabulous news nice lady. Dies this mean you can draw a line under all the pee sticking. I am amazed at the number of people on here being given abdominal scans so early on-seems like an easy way to completely stress a girl out!!!! Dildo cam all the way I say!!

I might go a bit quiet for a while-not sure I can stand the number of close calls and so am going to bury my head in the sand and rock quietly in the corner and hope its all going to be ok.....

I hope all the scans go well tomorrow!!! I'll be thinking of you all xxx

lovemysleep · 10/02/2011 15:47

Dachs brilliant news- phew! Been thinking of you today..

silly sorry for you, sweetie xx

nickstermum · 10/02/2011 16:29

Dachs that's just brilliant news my love xxxx
I hope you get a twinnie but one, just one means a healthy bean and baby xxxx

All that pineapple juice see :) :) xx

Mw listened in again and picked up hb straight away this aft:)
I now know where I can get that done every week for reassurance, and owl she has written anxious on my notes too !!! No bloody wonder x

hairylights · 10/02/2011 16:46

dachs phew!!

Confession time. I did a cb digital in asdas loo at lunchtime and it said 3 plus. It tells me at least that I have more hormones now than I did two weeks ago.

Wombat33 · 10/02/2011 16:48

Hurrah Fairy!! It's not the oracle but it's a lovely reassuring sign!

owlbooty · 10/02/2011 16:57

There's a fair few people having scans tomorrow aren't there?

Hairy , Orange ? , and MamaP I think?

Here's to a hat-trick of beans behaving themselves perfectly. Grin

hairylights · 10/02/2011 17:08

Yep all three of us. Am really dreading it.
