Sixth Form Common Room part III - post mc ttc & pregnancy

[ZamMummyInGabs]

Hoping to continue the trend of the lucky thread....

Apologies everyone for barging in on your thread, but battery I've been lurking to see how you are and so gutted to see the results of your scan. I am so so sorry my love, as everyone has said it's utterly, utterly unfair . Also shocking they have had you waiting all day today. Thinking of you x

oh battery thats awful I hope they get a move on and you are home soon. xxx

Oh battery that's rubbish, I'm so sorry you've been kept waiting I hope it won't be much longer and you can go home and rest xx (thanks for update mrcockerel - both of you have been very much in my thoughts today)

dachs and tigger that sounds about right - as I understand it premature rupture of membranes is just down to heartbreakingly bad luck. I know someone in rl who the same thing happened to sadly - second pg after an uncomplicated first, singleton pg, no ivf...again very very sad but no reason for it. I know that doesn't always help but it sounds as though the clinic are taking good care of you and the hopefully the stitch would give you some peace of mind next time x

freezing I think nuchal can be done up to 13+6 as mummya says; the only thing is, if you think you might want a cvs if results are high, you might want to check the time limit is for that

Oh battery the extra wait really isn't on I'm sorry that you have the extra stress. Still thinking of you. ((squeeze for you))

Thank you everyone for all your responses on the nuchal scan - you really all are lovely. It makes a big difference knowing there's someone listening. Think I might be a bit tired & emotional. Will shut up now.

morning, popping in to send hugs to battery and hope that you are as ok as can be.

Hope everyone is having lovely weekends. I thought AF was here but after pink spotting once on 9/10 dpo and a bit more yesterday still nothing. Temperature shot up this morning but i/c still showing BFN .

Hope you are all having good weekends xx

Battery So sorry you had to wait yesterday, that just makes an already difficult day even harder. I hope you're at home now resting up with MrC x

Loup Those symptoms sound rather hopeful?

freezing be as emotional as you want, it's par for the course in here!

battery are you home now? I hope so x

loup that sounds promising! I've read mixed things about ic's so may be worth trying a different brand?

I got a this morning on my sticks so looks like it'll be a busy weekend !

Once again I typed a message and lost it... so hopefully second time lucky!

battery are you home yet? I hope so x

freezing be as emotional as you want, it's expected in here!

loup those symptoms sound promising, I've read mixed things about ic's so might be worth trying a different brand?

I got a on the stick this morning so looks like it'll be a busy weekend!

Looks as though it didn't lose it after all! Apologies for double post

tina snap! I almost never get :) on OPK but this morning I did. So it looks like my cycles are starting again ok and DH and I will be having a busy weekend too

Get busy then dachs and good luck

Hi everyone. Am home eventually. What a farce. Got taken to theatre yesterday at 3pm, after waiting since friday at 8am. I had to get stroppy with the dr as I kept being told I was low priority and put at the back of the list. The awful thing was is that theatre called at 8am to say they were ready for me but then I heard nothing for ages. In the end when the dr came around and told me that she had been delivering new borns, I said that I may not be an emergency, but since I have lost 4 babies in 18 months and have sat in that ward for 36 hours with a dead baby inside me, I considered myself damn well a priority. I was in theatre within the hour. I was home by 8pm last night.

We are ok, sad obviously, and DP told me this morning that he missed our baby :( but we will try again,
digi thank you for the PM - I will message you later
lady thanks for the tip on the injections, I have to inject for the next 7 days.

will be lurking for a while xx

oh battery how horrible to have wait such a long time. God, it's just so crap - there's no other way to describe it, crap, horrible, unfair, and terribly terribly sad.

It's good to know that you will try again, it must feel a bit like groundhog day even having to type that sentence. So sorry chick, here's hoping that when you do start again it's quick to get that first step. We'll be here to help you through - keep talking or hide away if you need to. Huge hugs.

Just popping in to send lots of love to battery and MrC

So sorry you had such an awful wait at the hospital. Thinking of you both xxxx

Battery so sorry how crap this has been for you. Take very good care of yourself, and Ladybee says we're here for you whenever you need us. xxx

Will do a proper catch up tomorrow sometime.

hey Ladies

Back from my weekend in beautiful Finland - had an amazing time and a really good race pulling our team up 140 places

Anyway i'd told myself that I was allowed to test today... and ... BFN :( But it's early days and FF is telling me not to test until the 25th so there's plenty of time yet... Before the TOP my cycles were 30 days... The WTF cycle was 36 days and today is only day 30... No AF yet and weirdly my temps went up again today - I'm beginning to suspect my thermometer is actually a random number generator!!

That said it's going to be very inconvenient if my AF does turn up any time between tomorrow and Friday as i have to go for a load of blood tests on CD3 for the miscarriage clinic.... and we're at Glastonbury for the weekend!

Freezing you asked about the timing of the Nuchal scan... it is right that you can have it any time from 12 weeks up to 13+6... BUT... If you end up with a high risk factor, have a CVS, wait for the results this can take some time... should you get bad news from your CVS results and decide to terminate after 14 weeks you have to give birth rather than have an ERPC. When this happened to us I was very grateful that I was asleep for the procedure rather than see my baby - I felt so much guilt already, even though I know it was the right decision, that for me seeing my baby and being aware of delivering him would have been very difficult.

battery I hope you are as OK as you can be at the moment and am thinking of you and your dp lots, what an awful wait for you

tina hope you enjoyed the weekend :o

loup any news? your symptoms sounded promising

Back from a lovely weekend in zurich (apart from my ultra confusing body )

after thinking af was definitely on its way and having horrible tummy cramps yesterday - and being a very moody cow to poor dh there was no sign of its arrival this morning so I did a FR test and a very very faint bfp

will wait and test tomorrow when af is actually due (I think as cycles hve been a bit longer) and if line is darker then will allow myself a glimmer of hope

still have very crampy tummy so think this may just be another CP

I hope everyone else is well and enjoyed your weekends

stitch.... a faint line is still a line.... FX for tomorrow

Battery - sorry to hear you had such a ghastly time trying to get the ERPC. I'd suggest putting a complaint in through PALS. No one changes unless they're forced to.

Congrats stitch

battery thinking of you today.

Bfn with a temp rise for me too knitter. I'm 12dpo and testing with v sensitive tests so I'm convinced I'm out. Very upset last night, especially as my af is due this Friday which is also my birthday. Another birthday where I'm not pg or holding a baby.

Thanks knitter. I'm crossing everything

Hello all.

I do apologise, I've been mostly lurking, hiding, panicking, working, and have been in a bit of denial. My scan is on Wednesday, and I can't believe I've just bloody waited til now without having a reassurance scan. Not that that will always help, but I'm just feeling like it's all getting a bit too much. I have to go alone on Wednesday as DS nursery too far from Hospital and after the last time I cannot take him with me again. No childcare, so that's just the way it's going to have to be.

stitch A line is a line, so a tentative congratulations! Think positive! (She says)

digi It's not all over yet though. To be fair the sensitive IC's that I was using only gave me my first + after 15 minutes at 12 DPO, and that was the day my period was due.

knitter very jealous of Glasto! That will be ace, are you all going? What do you plan to see? Sorry your body is making things a leetle awkward, but hopefully you'll have some answers soon, and a temp rise is always good!

dachs and tina I hope you're quiet because you're busy Glad to see you here dachs, although obviously it's not the preferred place to be. Have you a date for the operation on your knee?

loup any news?

freezing have you decided what to do re the scan? We don't get NT scans here, so not really in a position to advise, just the quad test at 16 weeks. Stupid postcode crap lottery.

ma how are you doing over there?

Waves to all.

yrmotbfp No date yet for the op. Seeing the specialist again on Wednesday to look at the results of the MRI scan and will discuss then. I was hoping it would be quicker than that so I could have the op before I go no holiday, but I think it's highly unlikely to happen before I go now as I leave next Wednesday. And yes, DH and I have been busy ;) Absolutely 100% no point as it won't work anyway but we thought we'd give it a go in the vain hope that we wouldn't have to spend lots more money on IVF. V bad timing of ovulation though - it means I'll either have AF on our 'romantic' break or I'll be pg and unable to drink even though we've booked three meals out in michelin starred restaurants

stitch Yay! :) I had v faint positive first test after my IVF but then I did about 20 other tests over the next 3 days and they all said yes too so FX this one sticks for you as well :)

battery That's rubbish that they kept you there for so long. I'd def complain if I were you. FX that you feel better soon and that the next one is sticky for you.

Hello

Yay for stitch! I'm crossing everything that this one sticks and that your cramps are just a little bean settling itself in and making itself comfy for the next 8 months!

about your bfns digi and knitter but it ain't over till the af sings! What type of racing is it knitter? Enjoy Glastonbury, I'm jealous of the bands and atmosphere part but definately not the slumming it part!

battery what an awful experience . Glad to hear that you are resting together at home x

yrmotbfp good luck for the scan.

I'm feeling a bit today, one of my collegues who was a few weeks ahead of me had her baby yesterday, which I'd lovely news I know but I can help feeling about it. I should be getting ready for mat leave now, not starting another 2ww! I also had it in my head that I would be pregnant by my due date (30th aug), which means if I'm not this month then I've only got next month to try

dachs I'm jealous of the restaurants, that sounds amazing. And never say never, I know it's particularly difficult in your case, but you did manage naturally the first time. Anyway, fingers crossed.

tina Actually, I think it gets a bit better once the due date is out of the way. I think everyone thinks they will be pg again before the due date, but actually once that comes and goes you feel the pressure lift slightly, and it does get a bit easier. My due date was in November, and I didn't get pg til the April after that. I'm not saying you don't care anymore, just that you don't seem to have a nasty deadline looming.
