question...CD1 ...when do you count it after natural mc? Is it from first day of bleed on mc or day passed my angel or do we just wait until first AF arrives and start again? not really sure???

Atomicstockinghanger · 20/12/2005 13:21

Hello all.

Thought I would just pop on to let you know I saw my GP today regarding the odd bleeding I have had the last couple of months.

Unfortunately she seems to think I have had another MC We can never be 100% sure as it has been and gone, but she says what I experienced last month is consistant with the signs of an early MC. I am going to have a scan soon (waiting for an appt) and I am contemplating having a D&C in the new year. I feel okay about it, just shocked. I didn't know I was PG although i did have a bit of spotting around the CD20 mark and was suspicious that it was an implantation bleed. But like i say, I will never know for sure.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I'm fine, really. I had no idea I might have been PG so it doesn't seem so hard this time.

I am still going to lie low for a while. TTC is a bit too much to think about right now. But I wish all of you all the very best, and I hope you all have an amazing christmas and heres to a great 2006 - it has to be better than 2005.

mygarland · 21/12/2005 15:04

Have a wonderful night G4P

muppet3 · 21/12/2005 15:32

I feel like whispering I'm so nervous, but could I maybe ask for some advice? I was on one of the antenatal threads, but I had a missed miscarriage. The EPRC was 3 weeks ago, and I know I'm still grieving and raw. But we're ttc again (with the blessing of my doctor) which is about all I can hang onto for hope right now.

But ever since the miscarriage, I have no appetite. I know that emotional disturbance is making me this way, but I had an eating disorder back as a teenager and it's all getting horribly familiar. I'm 28 in a week's time - this feels ridiculous. But I'm struggling to eat at all (so far today, a mince pie. wahey), have barely done so for 4 weeks now and weight is just falling off me, which isn't great given I was size 10 to start with. Thing is, I couldn't care less about the effect on me except that it might hurt any baby I concieve when I'm like this. Not that it helped when I ate properly and avoided everything you're supposed to last time of course. I'm taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid, but I'm worried I'll hurt it. Is there anyone else who's been here and can reassure me that it will be ok?

p.s. no way on earth am heading to my gp, as the surgery was a nightmare with the miscarriage. next time am planning to avoid them until as late as possible and just see a private clinic for scans etc.

FirstSaintNikkilass · 21/12/2005 16:01

Hi muppet,

Sorry to hear of your loss .

I read if you are under or overweight there's a risk.. and certainly a mincepie is not enough for you let alone a baby. The baby needs you to eat well so they get all the right nutrients from you whatever you do effects the baby. Maybe its a little too early to ttc and you need to concentrate on getting you better and grieve a little.

I understand about your teenage problems too and think you need to think of yourself and come to terms with things and try and eat a healthy meal plan. If you feel good then your body will be in better condition to receive.

I do hope you feel better and well enough to eat properly .... I am now concerned for you..x

mygarland · 21/12/2005 16:24

Hi muppet, sorry for your loss, I'm sure every1 will b sympathetic.
Maybe the appetite thing is just temparory and when u r feeling better then u can ttc, u don't have to just because u physically can. If u really have no appetite then I'm sure in time u will get better but if u do have an appetite and r not eating then u've got a problem. You may blame yourself for the mc (even tho it's not your fault) and whether u have an appetite or not u might b doing this as punishment to yourself.
As nikki said being underweight is not beneficial for having a baby u need to eat properly to ttc so u've gotta decide if u wanna carry on like this and not ttc or get some help/help yourself and if this carries on for too long then u need to get help however u did last time u got over your eating disorder.
If u do get pg again then u will pretty much need to go to a gp private or otherwise and not just for scans for bloods too.

mumsXMASwish · 21/12/2005 16:33

Hi Muppet,

I remember reading when you had your missed mc, I'm really sorry for your loss and I hope you can get over this.

I understand if you dont want to go to your GP esp if you've had a bad experience with them. Can you go to counselling? Or just talk to a family member. Your DH perhaps?

Dont think of it as a disorder, think of it as. If I dont eat I cant have a baby.

I've got the opposite thing going on at the mo. If I eat this crap i cant have a baby.

I dont know if that helps at all, but I wish you all the best and hope you come back to talk to us.

jinglediddle · 21/12/2005 17:39

muppet3 - have done some research and for the sake of your baby think it might be worth you reading the link.

hope this helps

jinglediddle · 22/12/2005 08:57
