Sixth Form Common Room part IV - ttc and pregnancy post mc

[mousebacon]

Roll up, roll up...

This is the place to be if you are ttc post mc / pregnancy loss and need a little spot to call home.

Excellent twittwoo! Such a relief to know everythings growing as it should. When's your next scan?

mouse good luck for Thursday!

Tina sorry to hear af's on it's way - and shite timing on the pregnancy rumour. I still feel odd when I hear of other people's pregnancies, even now.

And sorry to hear of the sadness of due dates. My last one was a few weeks ago but I didn't remember till the end of the day - so many of them now.

For today all's well here. Saw an AN doc today to assess whether I needed extra appointments but other than a gtt at 26 weeks, all as normal. Got a listen on the doppler and baby was swimming around in and out of range so that was nice.

Hugs to Tina for af and pregnancy rumours, like Digi, new pg announcements still get me too, even when I am updiffed.

Hugs too for knitter and yesterday's dd.

Hurray Twittwoo for great scan and to Digi for dopplerage action.

I have my scan at 11am tomorrow. Don't feel pg in slightest and think the mild nausea is all in my head. Ho hum. The clinic where I'm being scanned is super busy too, it's kind of a pants off as soon as you walk in, waggle around with the wand, look at fuzzy picture on screen and pants on again sort of a place. I'm not sure it would be the best environment to receive any bad news. [hconfused]

Lovely scan news twitt

All the best for tomorrow wiggle

Hope you got through yesterday ok knitter

Wiggle good luck for tomorrow

Great to hear your good scan news Twittwooo

Sorry to hear about af Tina

Should have said thank you to all of you that said nice things about my DD yesterday. It was a weird day - and I couldn't help thinking what might have been. But I also know that we made the right decision to terminate. So many mixed feelings.

(((hugs))) to all

Great news on the scan Twittwoo ! And the doppler digi , that must have been nice

for yesterday's due date knitter , hope you feel a bit better today.

wiggle good luck for tomorrow, doesn't sound like the most appealing place! I hope it goes well

waves to everyone

Good luck today wiggle fx for you xx

Great scan news twittwooo

Good luck today wiggle x

Good luck for wiggle and s for digi and twitwoo for good scan/Doppler news!

After a really down day yesterday (imminent period days are always down days anyway and the pregnancy news and talk at work just made that 100 times worse) I feel a bit better today (emotionally anyway, I've got a stinking cold ). I spoke to my friend, she is pregnant, and having her dating scan this afternoon. She hadn't actually told anyone, not even her parents or other children, the person who told me had guessed. I don't feel at all angry with her, it just feels so unfair that she's on baby no 4, when she was using contraception, and I can't even seem to manage no 2 . I've got a plan of action though (I always have this need for one when af arrives to get me through it I suppose and give me some illusion of control. I'm going to stop charting, and have unprotected sex every few days until a bfp, and if that hasn't happened by February (a year since my mc, and 20 odd months since we started trying) we'll go back to the fertility clinic and request a hycosy and/or saline scan to check my bits. Provided that's all ok I'd consider iui, but I'll stop there, no ivf. I couldn't put us through the stress and expense of it when we've already got dd. Phew! If you got through that thanks!

wiggle hope scan went well this morning.

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone. One little bean measuring 4.3mm with a strong heartbeat Took a while to find hb but I guess that's normal at this stage when it's so tiny and the scanning equipment is ancient!

Yay!!! for miniwiggle !!!

Lady good luck with those results!

Twittwoo That's lovely news about the scan and heartbeat...nothing can match that!

Wiggle How was the scan today?

Tina I LOVE your plan (mostly because it's kind of the same as my plan!). You're right - it's great to HAVE one.

Feeling really positive today as I've finished a big piece of work. Husband, on the other hand, has been having a rotten time of it (sleeping badly and huge workload) so I feel like I need to be more nurturing.

Oooh and I missed digitalgirl! so thrilled for you listening to that little bean swimming around x

wiggle and Twittwoo great news on positive scans! You must be very relieved.

Tina it really isn't fair, is it, that some people fill their houses with babies without even trying. So many of my friends are on their second child when we've spent the last two years trying fruitlessly to have even one.

I've just had a look on the stats thread and I'm on CD42 or something ridiculous like that. I'm still feeling weirdly and vaguely unwell, but I've just had yet another BFN, so it's not up-the-duff unwellness. I'm guessing this is an anovulatory cycle that's dragging on especially long because of the mc. Grrr... [hangry]

Great scan news wiggle! And glad you had a doppler fix Digital

Tina I think your plan sounds great, I always have to have a "new" thing to try each cycle just to make me feel like I am doing something postive (new supplement, lubricant, acupuncture etc) I found charting quite stressful although I only tried it for a month. Maybe just pure & simple DTD regularly will do the trick for you, I really hope it does!

for BFN Tomboy

I decided that retail therapy was what I needed today so I have spent an extortionate amount on make-up, had a leisurely lunch with the girls and had HD eyebrows done which have totally transformed my face! Have completely worn myself out though so I am now slobbing on the sofa in my trackie bottoms! It's my birthday on Saturday and I have decided to go ahead with all my planned celebrations as I want to try and stay upbeat and get everything back to "normal" asap! Will be going easy on the alcohol though as I can't cope with a hangover on top of everything else!

Waves to all.

olives loving your style...makeup binges are great therapy...go you!

wiggle , great news!

tina that's pretty much what my plan was after last months delusion determination! Glad you're feeling better and more positive and in control

for bfn Tomboy have you spoken to your doctor/epu about it?

greenolives retail therapy sounds good! I love buying new makeup (although I hardly ever wear it). I always give myself a mini makeover when I get home

mouse hoping you might have had your scan by now...hope all went well, got my fingers crossed.

wiggle fantastic news from you!

tomboy sorry you're still in limbo. Do you normally have long cycles? I'm a massive fan of acupuncture to help regulate cycles - don't know if you've considered it.

greenolives well done on the retail therapy. Another thing I'm a massive fan of!

Waves back at blackkat thanks for the muffins...am most definitely in the mood for cake today.

I'm back! All good. Baby measuring 7+3 (putting me a day ahead) heartbeat etc all fine. Bloody marvellous.

Consultant doesn't want to see me again and his discharged me to community mw.

Phew!

Ps. She's put gestation as 8+6 so hopefully 12 week scan will be sooner than expected

oooh - lovely news mouse Hurrah

Yay mouse that's brilliant! So is next scan the 12 week one? How are you feeling today?

for mouse!

Still waiting here for my proper period...hurry up already!!!

Fabulous scan news mouse! Hope you're not feeling too sicky either.
