Hello again lovely ladies, mind if I pop my head back in here again? It looks like this has turned into another lucky thread, it's so lovely to see all these new BFPs especially those that have suffered the horrors of rmc. Too many new diffders so I don't want to list everyone for fear of missing anyone out but brilliant, brilliant news!! Congratulations to all 
I lurked in here for a while after my bfp but didn't join the freak out room as I wasn't really freaking out, yet I was hanging out until 12 weeks before I braved the grads thread. I would have been 27 weeks now but sadly we didn't make it past our 12 week scan back in July. After getting through the first trimester we thought we were out of the woods but when the sonographer turned to another doctor for a second opinion I sensed that something was not right. We were told that the baby had acrania (anencephaly), a lethal neural tube defect which means that the forebrain hadn't developed. The cranium then remains open and the brain exposed. Babies with this condition usually carry to term and, if they do survive childbirth, they only live for a couple of minutes, hours at the most. The condition is described as 'incompatible with life'
We were devastated, obviously (the chances of it occurring are 1 in 1000) and so sadly we terminated at 13 weeks, it was heartbreaking. We have since found out that it was a little girl we lost, we have already have a DD which, in some ways, made it even harder (apparently the condition is twice as common in female foetuses) all the other chromosomes were fine, so in fact was the rest of her - we saw 10 knuckles, 10 toes, the vertebrae etc.
I've been put on industrial strength Folic Acid (5mg per day, which is 10 times the usual dose) to try and prevent it from happening again and the hospital will scan me at 10-11 weeks to try and rule it out in future pregnancies?.
?which brings me to the good news...
I had two periods after the operation and we were very lucky to get a bfp just two weeks ago. I'm now 5+1 and BRICKING it! I just feel numb, like I can't even begin to think I am pregnant until I get past the 10 weeks scan. And I haven't told a soul this time. I just can't bring myself to.
The clinic that monitored the pg last time haven't recommended progesterone or prednisolone this time as they say everything looks ok so far. They want to give me an early scan this weds though to check that everything is in the right place. So, I guess we just take it from here, or there, or however far we get this time! Here we go again?!
Sorry to bring sad news to the thread. I took a self-imposed break from mn after it all happened and also I didn't want to scare anyone until I had some better news to share. So, if you'll allow me back in, I'd love to rejoin you. I do remember saying to mouse that I wasn't leaving this thread until everyone had a bfp (and I'd like to turn the lights off in here by the end of the year please!)
Oh lord, just realised that this is one epic post Will try and keep posts shorter and more regular in future x
