thanks hairy I don't know how you have the strength to check up on me... so very kind and generous Smile

Mamapower · 11/02/2011 16:18

owl dachs thanks both Smile
Orange great news for you too, yay! Grin

hairylights · 11/02/2011 16:20

Not in the slightest - you've held my hand for me plenty, and I really did want to see how you and orange did - two out of three ain't bad, :) Just so glad for you both.

SillyCalamari · 11/02/2011 16:35

Hi Hairy, so sorry to hear your news. I'm with you, it was my 3rd yesterday too. Let's hope the MC clinics help us. All the best and keep well.

wakarimasen · 11/02/2011 16:37

Thats great news mamaP it must be lovely to have that confirmation! Have a schloer to celebrate!

I've told my DH now but we are not getting excited and will see how it goes. I still have horrible light brown CM :(

hairylights · 11/02/2011 16:42

there's a good 'testing' thread - I'll be hanging out there for a while so hope to see you over there.

Hug to wakari

Wombat33 · 11/02/2011 16:52

*Wakari" lots of us have had that. FX it is nothing to worry about xxx

lovemysleep · 11/02/2011 17:02

Mama lovely news! Bought a tear to my eye - all of you ladies are making me a blabbing mess - they are either happy tears or sad ones. Glad to be here though.....

Hairy if it's any consulation, no-one has ever mentioned IVF to me, even after 4 mc's. From what I can gather, if you get pg relatively easily, there will be no need for it. I am no spring chicken at 39 either, so fingers crossed for you that the tests will highlight some very easily sorted thing, and your next steps will be straightforward.

silly hope you are bearing up sweetie, and hoping that the MC clinic get you sorted out asap too.

banana hope AF gets here soon

Big hugs to everyone x

hairylights · 11/02/2011 17:15

love the positive about ivf is that if egg quality is an issue, they can choose the best embryos. There's a new technique out now which allows them to physically test them before transfer, for any problems.

You see, it could be that like most forty two year olds, 70% of my eggs are not right, and I don't want to keep doing it naturally if my eggs are what's causing my miscarriges.

youremindmeofthebabe · 11/02/2011 17:35

Just popped over, I'm so sorry to see this hairy. Wishing you strength and calm, but it sounds like you're doing very well on that front anyway.Smile xx

mamap That's so lovely to hear. Glad you got a photo too.

Mamapower · 11/02/2011 17:53

Thanks all Smile

Off to eat something disgustingly lovely and probably fatty too...my tummy is rumbling Grin

lovemysleep · 11/02/2011 18:08

ah, hairy see the reason now....will they test the quality of your eggs when you start the testing process too? If IVF gives you the best chance, then that's the way to go.
You may have brilliant eggs though - so fingers crossed for you.x

lemonsherbet · 11/02/2011 18:09

Hairy just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through this again. Take care of yourself.

Congrats mama orange and dachs

nickstermum · 11/02/2011 18:21

Yey for mama bean xxxx

Yey for orange bean xxxx

Hairy your strength inspires me lovely xxx

Had a lovely aft at the flicks, just got a bedtime battle coming on with Ds.... Xxxxx

Early night and feet up :)

Emoo · 11/02/2011 21:06

Hairy - I'm so so sorry and sad to hear your news, and thank you for sending your good wishes in spite of how you must be feeling. I hope that Sunday goes as well as can be expected. Hooray for a doctor that doesn't blame things on age - how refreshing - and glad that you will get some testing done now.

Nix, MamaP and Orange - I'm incredibly pleased for you all! Lovely to hear your good news.

Dachs - good luck for tomorrow's scan. I hope DH gets a good look at that heartbeat, and I am sending hopeful vibes for pup2. Isn't it incredible they can see anything at all when it's only 1.3 mm! Hope you manage to hang onto that zen...

CaribouMoo · 11/02/2011 21:47

Also gatecrashing to say how really sad I am to hear about your news Hairy. Its just so bloody unfair. You sound so positive despite what's happpened, I really hope things work out for you whatever comes next. Take care of yourself pal x

Well done to all the ladies with lovely good news and good luck tomorrow Dachs. I second what Bee says about being mindful of measurements and different scanning machines can give different results too x

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 11/02/2011 21:57

emoo I changed my home page to make it more recognisable: here's me

Although my chart looks completely mental this cycle so I'm not sure it warrants any stalking Confused Grin

< Brew for all - don't worry, it's decaff! >

Ladybee · 11/02/2011 23:01

mamap glad you had a good news and well done for being discharged with a viable pg!

ladies, I am absolutely ravenous Blush I can not eat enough today, it's starting to annoy me - I eat, 30 mins later my stomach starts gnawing away again. It can't stay this way - I'm already big, I can't start packing away the cals now. Shock Any tips?

I was very brave and brought out my pg book and had a flick through it. Wish I'd done it a bit sooner - found it incredibly reassuring to see in print at 8 weeks "some women find their symptoms start to ease at this point" - phew. I know my symptoms are just shifting but it really was worrying me. I know there are still no guarantees but reading this did help.

I'm heading towards my due date from my most recent MC and also the time when I started bleeding from it. All of which is making the mentalling worse than ever (hence book-reading above). I am still battling with myself every day, trying to hold off from getting another scan, my next is scheduled for 10+ weeks and consultant appt at 11, and I'm hoping to hold out to have them both on the same day. One day I just want to know if it's all gone wrong, to get it over and done with. The next I think I just need to chill and see what happens.

Sorry to offload, I know you all have similar worries...

digitalgirl · 11/02/2011 23:15

Symptoms have disappeared for the last two days. Just did a cbd 2 mins ago that came up 3+
Am 5 weeks tomorrow, why am I not reassured? Boobs feel completely normal. Womb doesn't feel heavy. Hunger has gone. Just really depressed now. Sad

banana87 · 11/02/2011 23:27

Digi Symptoms come and go, I am sure you will be puking in a week :) Chin up chick, you are pregnant til someone tells you otherwise...keep repeating that to yourself!

digitalgirl · 11/02/2011 23:43

Thanks banana - trying hard to think happy thoughts. Having a low day, and it doesn't help when it coincides with a no symptoms day.

nickstermum · 12/02/2011 08:57

Bee

dig banana is right. My boobs are deflated today and not a bit of soreness in sight, but yesterday i saw my 8.7cm bean.. so that keeps me going xx

3+ is fab btw... wombat didnt have any symptoms....!! Try not to be depressed hon, can you find something to focus on to take your mind off it?

mmmm Brew here you go... thanks for the headsup Izz xxx

nickstermum · 12/02/2011 08:58

Also meant to say Bee stay strong and focussed X

Wombat33 · 12/02/2011 09:45

digi 5 weeks was the week I phoned my gp in floods of tears at 8am one morning sobbing that all my symptoms had gone and I was having another mc. He arranged the first of my blood tests - if you remember that was the one that came back showing my hcg levels were higher than average for triplets!! Don't lose hope lovely! Xxx

digitalgirl · 12/02/2011 09:59

wombat that was me last night to dh. I have an appt with the consultant on Monday morning - I will probably blub and beg for a blood test. I really really hope I have the same luck as you. I'm so fed up of this game.

And thanks nix the cbd was supposed to cheer me up. And in some ways it has (god knows how I'd be if it came up less than 3+), but I'm just so desperate to 'feel' pregnant.

You ladies are amazing.
