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

[ZamMummyInGabs]

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

Great scan news freezing And thanks for the hand holding! I'm off to see Joseph at the theatre later so hoping the day will get better (it's stopped raining so that's a start )

Hope your throat gets better ladybee

I came on to wish Freezing luck, but I see its all done!! Well done, so pleased for you that all is alright.

LadyB sorry you have the lurgy. Long haul flying does tend to expose you to the worse kind of bugs. Are you planning on giving your new medical services a test run and getting your throat checked out or just dose up on vitamins and take it easy? xx

Tina I am glad your GP helped in some way, all of that will hopefully help rule out any obvious stuff, if you do go to a fertility clinic later at least you wont have to pay extra for those tests. I would recommend getting copies of every report (ask the receptionist how) and making a folder with all your info so that you can show it off later to the clinic or other doctors if need be.

thanks for all the C-section stories, this is really helping! I have booked an appointment with a new gyne/obstetrician today I have another one lined up for next month too, in case I dont like this one. Will pop back later and let you know how I got on.

Yay freezing for the wriggly bean, great news!

Sorry to hear you're having a bad day tina hope you enjoy Joseph and hope the tests give you some reassurance, i'm still waiting to hear from the consultant re mine - wonder what the point of going provate is when it takes so long....

Hi to mummyA glad to hear little Max is doing well - when are you due again?

Waves to all others x

Excellent news freezing!

Dh had a scan on his man parts today as he's had a bit of an ache. Turns out it's a varicose vein - not kidney cancer (apparently ball ache is a symptom of). So phew!

Waves to everyone.

Yay!! for freezing and fab scan news - such a relief, isn't it?

digi phew! Pleased to hear it's good news for dh's man bits!

mummya sounds like you've got the birth all worked out; don't blame you for going for elcs. Hope the appt goes well and you like the consultant.

Tina sorry you're feeling low and the dr can't do more; it is good that you've got a sympathetic one though and hopefully the basic tests you're getting will provide some reassurance.

ladybee hope you're feeling a bit better? Pleased ds enjoyed nursery, hope it's still going well.

yrmotb when do you have your 16 wk appt? That must be coming up soon...

Take That were amazing on Monday, had a fab (if tiring!) time. We were so high up though, it did make me feel a bit funny when we first climbed up and sat down! It was amazing though - so glad I got tickets this time!

freezing excellent news on the scan :o

mummya good on you for making decisions and hope the doc work out for you, sounds like everyone else has had good experiences with ELCS and it will be the right choice for you. Can?t really give my opinion on this as will be #1 for me :)

tina it sounds like the doc is doing as much as they can which is good ? just sorry it can?t be more, fx the tests will give some answers for you. Hope the painkillers are doing their job for you

ladybee moving to a new country is hard work and no matter how much support you have around IME it just takes time to adjust and find your place. Good that ds is enjoying nursery. What a shame about the double winter - I did the double summer when I moved which did help the transition a little.

mouse have fun being back on the wagon

battery great idea on the moving house

Still quietly going mental here but trying the mantra of ?today I am pregnant? every morning which strangely does seem to help a bit. Having other things to look forward to and plan in the meantime is also helping to focus my attention elsewhere (for a minute or two). Think I have decided to get a scan week after next when we get back from holidays but going to do it privately so I can have DH come with me. Although our EPU gives them out like candy it is only in the morning and can be quite hard for dh to get the time off work. If it is all OK then I will then start the booking in stuff

How was the new obgyn mummya?

Enjoy the hols stitch

Good news on your dh digi

Glad you enjoyed take that izzy. Joseph was fab but I forgot to take my ticket! I only realised in the car park, I had to get dh to get dd out of the bath to make a mad dash into town with it, I didn't drive so couldn't go back myself and probably wouldn't have made it back in time anyway!

Having a bit of a rubbish day with dd, she was evil over lunch, I didn't know what to do with her! Ended up putting her in bed and phoning dh, she spoke to him on the phone and calmed down and is now very sorry but I hate being in that situation where I just don't know how to stop the tantrum! Luckily she doesn't do it very often.

Hi Ladies,

I am feeling a bit glum today. The doctor yesterday told me I would need to have a CS plus hysterectomy at the birth!! I know I can get another opinion and its not set in stone, but its really got me down that it looks like I will have another battle on my hands, just when I thought all that was done with and I could enjoy being pregnant and look forward to having a baby with all the positive aspects that brings. Looks like I will have to spend a small fortune trying out various doctors this month, but I suspect they may all say the same thing, its much safer arse covering exercise for them plus they will earn much more money. Sigh.

mummya why on earth would he/she want to do that?! You definitely need to get a second opinion, how extreme! Is it purely because of your Ashermans? Can you get hold of anyone over here for their opinion?

ma dear lord, that seems a bit extreme doesn't it? Can you get email information from doctors here at all ?

freezing I am very very chuffed for you, how lovely.

digiglad to hear that with dh it's nothing very sinister.

Tina they can be so challenging can't they? Hope you're ok. How's the charting going?

izz not til the 26th July. Seems ages away! It's limbo time of not feeling baby move and feeling delightfully well, which is A worry in itself! Do you have your scan too soon?

Waves to all.

Hi, Yes it is very extreme! I am sadly very well read in the subject and have also had opinions from two of the best AS doctors in the world and been following the stories of over 2000 ladies with AS who are part of an international support group. None of whom believe that hysterectomy is a neccessity after Ashermans (though there is a chance it becomes necessary) Basically I am at increased risk of developing placenta acretta (placenta attaches too deeply to uterine wall, doesnt come away after birth without causing massive bleeding) So I do need to find someone who is aware of this possibility, has bags of my blood type standing by and a plan of action in case of hemmorage. However this guy seems a bit too keen... and of course lining me up for a hystorectomy would make his job a lot easier and safer (and more profitable!)

I am taking today off, and then phoning round some new doctors tomorrow. I just feel so sick of having to fight to get the right treatment, and really sick of knowing more than the doctors and feeling very worried about whether having the baby here in Costa Rica is the right thing. I wish it could just all be easy for once!!!

oh mummya so sorry you have another battle on your hands :( i really hope you manage to get something sorted

fab scan news freezing

big waves to everyone

MummyA How awful for you. I hope you can find a less extreme doctor to offer some alternate advice.

freezing great news about the scan!

Well, I had a fun time at the dentist's this morning. Just one filling, but I would've preferred zero. I considered POASing last night to make sure I'm still un-updiffed as the dentist didn't want to do the filling in the first trimester when I was updiffed. Decided in the end not to bother as I really don't feel pg. (Now watch Sod's Law kick in...)

mummya extreme isn't the word! It's one thing to say it might become necessary in case of absolute emergency but quite another to decide that it's going to happen as a matter of course! Hope you can get a sensible second opinion asap x

yrmotb I have 20 wk scan next weds - eek! Am dreading it, not least because it's the anniversary of my erpc, but I am not going to get superstitious about it

Oh mummya, I'm for you that you have another battle on your hands. Good luck x

Fingers crossed for sods law Tom, im hoping it'll kick in for me and my day 21 bloods will be pointless! It worked last time...I was a few days pregnant when I had a scan before Christmas to check for pcos but didn't find out till nearly 2 weeks later.

Waves to izzy and velvet

I'm a bit , im working with my pg collegue with what should have been my dd and she's sporting a huge bump. I want mine back

Sorry meant to answer you ytmotb! My basal thermometer arrived today. I keep forgetting first thing though!

flipping hell mummyA that's rather severe. Like you need another fight too? Well we're here to back you up, got the towel, bucket & sponge all ready for the next round.

Izzy can't believe you've got your 20 week scan coming up. That was so fast. If it's next week though I think I'm allowed to get haddock out, just saying

Tomboy. Fingers xd for sod's law

Tina sorry you're having day. Squeeze for you. Hope all goes well with the temping.

Digi glad all ok with DH

Thanks for the lovely scan messages. We've started to tell a few people now which is more weird than I thought it would be . Also told DD, she was rather excited (bless her) but I don't think she really get it yet.

Waves to everyone as ever

yay for good scan news :)

mummya that's awful! :( I hope you manage to find a sane doctor

In my news I have to say life is once again proving that it hates me. There is a nice new favourite foodstuff in Venice. It's called Dachs. Who it turns out is very very very allergic to Venetian mosquitoes and now has massive swollen welts all over her legs and has had to cancel the few days she was going to spend in London and come home instead to try to go to the doctor tomorrow, if it doesn't get worse overnight which might make DH take her to A&E instead. And yes, it is that bad.

Oh no dachs! That sounds awful. I wish you a very speedy recovery xx

In theory it should be cd1 today but have only had the teeniest bit of spotting so hopefully AF will be here tomorrow and I can finally move up that list! From finding out we'd lost the 2nd baby in Jan to now being the middle of July I think I've waited long enough!

Waves to all xx

Dachs That sounds absolutely terrible! Hoping you feel better soon and the A&E option doesn't become necessary.

ooooh Dach you have my sympathies, mossie bites are awful even when they dont swell up and scare you silly.

No news from me, not feeling up for ring round of doctors just yet, so I am burrying my head in the sand for a bit. (but the thanks for the towel, bucket and sponge freezing I will be using it soon!)

Me and DS went to a party in the park that organised by neighbours for the local orphanage kids. Lots of happy smiling cake covered faces

mouse I will be cheering loudest when you get on that list. You have indeed been made to wait far to long. Hugs.

Tomboy good move getting your teeth sorted. My pregnancy/hyperemisis/long mc left mine ravaged and I only just got round to sorting them now and I wish I had given them some more attention sooner - they are in a right state!

I have over 15 bites below the knee on each leg, all of which have blistered up with blisters over 1 cm across and red swelling melding into each other so below the knee the legs are entirely red and puffy with nasty nasty seeping bites. Hate life right now. On the plus side, we get the dogs back tomorrow instead of not seeing them until Monday, so

Start cheering mummya ----> woohoo!! CD1
