Hi Everyone

Congratulations to all those with BFP's fabulous news. I really must go on holiday more often if this is the news when I get back! Grin

Sue so glad to see the pg is progressing well. Are you still seeing James or has he signed you off?

Free cannot believe you've only 3 weeks to go - how exciting. Try not to dwell on the elcs. It'll be fine and and if you have Mr S even better! I have sadly not got my preferred obstetrician due to hols and we could have gone pvt with Mr S but hospitals were too far away and there was still likely to be a shortfall so we opted for local. Are you all set now?

Still catching up with all the news so apologies if I'm missing anyone.

snoopy hope all is going according to plan with the treatment.

Waves to all!

freelancegirl · 28/06/2012 18:05

Hi Merc - welcome back! Hope you had a good time. Thanks for the positive words about the CS. It is indeed nerve-wracking. Does that mean you are having one too?

Just thought I would bring this forward. Hopeful and Dunnit, I think I am right in thinking you are now both just about third trimester! Good news both of you. I have moved you up the list. Really hoping those who are due scans in the next week or so - Olives, Bertha, Delta and BellyD are soon on that 1st trimester list. Here's to good scans. I think I am right in saying that Cornflakes who was here a while back might be on the BC board and might sadly be having another miscarriage.

Anyway, here's today's list. Do make changes/add/edit if you need to.

BellyD · 29/06/2012 09:49

lemon I hope you are feeling resassured by everyone's comments and are feeling more positive.

Good hols merc?

Scan not until 18th July when I will be 7+3 ish, things have usually all gone wrong by then but i am trying to maintain a pma and enjoy having a bfp because I appreciate how lucky I am to get this far and even if it all goes wrong I may never have this chance again.

Had an odd experience of how we live in a totally parallel universe to normal people yesterday when I went to see my homeopath (not sure I totally believe in it but just trying everything!) She gave me a remedy to have before and after my scan, firstly she was amazed I was having one at 7 weeks and then, if I got that far, weekly after that until 12 weeks. When i mentioned it would be an internal one, she nearly fell over and asked me what that was like. I said that I was quite used to them by now and they are not as bad as a smear test! Then (and I nearly fell off my chair) she said so have you started thinking ahead, what it will be like and what I've got to look forward to. I hope I was polite about it and I replied that I let myself calculate the due date just once and then put that out of my head and go back to dreading each time I go to the loo and lurching from one day to the next. Sadly it made me realise that what is the norm for us is totally alien to most people.

On another note, and then I will shut up! A friend told me to wrap a warm scarf around my tummy during the 2ww. Obv quite impractical at work, but fine to do at home, so I did, and I don't know if it helped and it is as mad as obsessing about magpies, but just wanted to share in case anyone else wanted to give it a go.

Waves to all x

freelancegirl · 29/06/2012 11:51

Gosh the 18th of July seems a long time to wait BellyD. But on the other hand as I am booked in for a CS on the 17th July it also seems to be a short period for me! Amazing how time can take on such different forms when you're waiting for something.

I would have been open-mouthed in shock at the homeopath too. Also, how has she not come across anyone before who has had early monitoring and regular scans? Yes some people do seem to live in a parallel universe.

The warm scarf thing is interesting - something for the TTC ladies to try?

Having stopped them on Tuesday at 36 weeks I have a spare 40 odd hydroxychloroquine. Does anyone want them? Happy to post.

suemays · 29/06/2012 12:11

mercator I am seeing James up to 12 weeks so only a few left to go now.

I have started tapering off the steroids now which is a but scary and it has made my morning sickness much worse! I am dreading coming off the steroids altogether but hopefully by then the sickness will be passed its worse.

belly the wait for the first scan is awful and you will be mentalling all the time. Like you say you are lucky to get passed the first hurdle of a bfp.

suemays · 29/06/2012 12:18

free seeing as I get free hydroxy with my gp on the nhs I will pass on the freebies for someone else.

belly can't believe your homeopath, just goes to show she can't see many people with recurrent miscarriages!

How are you coping greenolives bertha and delta in the lead up to your first scans too?

Arianrhod · 29/06/2012 13:00

Hi all .. belly your friend's comment about the scarf actually ties in with what my acupuncturist told me, she said that area should be kept warm during the 2ww and she often uses heat on that area when she's treating me in that time. So your homeopath obviously doesn't deal with many ladies who have had miscarriages ... remember a time when we were all that blissfully ignorant? Seems such a very long time ago!

sue So exciting that you're tapering off the pred, that's a big milestone in itself!

During my appt with Mr S yesterday we discussed whether I should have a hysteroscopy and he's of the opinion that it wouldn't hurt (although he thinks it's probably not necessary), so going to try to get that scheduled in after my hols - will be cycle after the next one, as I'm not around during the right time of the month. Eagerly waiting to see if the hysteroscopy has done it's magic for kittens .. :)

GreenOlives · 29/06/2012 14:09

Hi ladies!
I'm still in limbo land unfortunately! Scan showed the gestational sac and maybe the start of a yolk sac at the top of it but certainly no HB seen yet. It may be too early still so it's a waiting game until next Friday for another scan! Had blood taken for HCG this morning, just got my results which are 9142. Dr Google tells me this is within the normal range but the crucial thing is how the numbers progress so I have a form for another test on Monday - fingers crossed it's loads higher by then! I just feel so stressed, I have never wished time away so much!

freelancegirl · 29/06/2012 14:14

I might be behind on the list dates Olives - how many weeks/day do you estimate you are at the moment? A sac in the right place is a good sign in terms of ruling out an ectopic at least! And yes those HCG levels are good. Hope they continue to grow and that next week you see a lot more. Aggh - that waiting for the next scan is not a nice place to be in, I think a lot of us can relate.

Glad your appt went ok Ari. I have heard rumours that a hysteroscopy makes it more likely you will conceive. Did that happen to Sue? Hope it has worked for Kittens too.

GreenOlives · 29/06/2012 14:53

Hi Free I think the list is spot on, I'm 5+6 today according to my dates. You're right, a sac in the right place and a decent HCG are positive things so I am going to try and stay positive - today I AM pregnant!

freelancegirl · 29/06/2012 15:03

5+6 is good - as it is still really, really early to see anything more than a sac. So that can be taken as a positive! Doesn't help with the wait though...

So by next Friday you should be 6+6 and hopefully that will mean something positive can be seen. And definitely PUPO (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise, for any new-ish-bies!).

Bertha337 · 29/06/2012 16:04

Hi Girls,
I have to say that I'm quite nervously awaiting my scan on tuesday. I should be 6wks dead-on by then - My main worry at the moment is another ectopic pregnancy (green did I see that you have also had an ectopic?)

I have been horribly uncomfortable this past week in that the only side effect of anything I'm doing or taking at the moment is constipation. Nothing seems to be alleviating it. I have a slight discomfort on my left (which is the same side as my only remaining tube) but it is not even close to the discomfort I felt with my earlier ectopic, and it isn't always consistent in location, so I'm just hoping it is to do with my digestive system... On the plus side, I have no other pain or spotting or anything. So, that is a major milestone for me! I decided with my last pregnancy that I wouldn't go anywhere or do anything (unless I was in pain, there was severe cramping or bleeding) until I was a minimum of 6 weeks because the whole process of taking blood, waiting, being told things like 'pregnancy of unknown location' did nothing to help me and my stress levels.

sue I am interested to hear the side effects of tapering off the pred. I read that it really does block a lot of the symptoms and last night I was joking with my OH that my boobs (I'm not really that obsessed with them) would just grow over night to make up for being suppressed by the drugs for 12 weeks. Morning sickness on the other hand probably isn't a symptom I would want to increase, so I hope things calm down soon!

bellyd when I was pregnant last time my good friend found out she was 11 weeks pregnant and had no clue. I couldn't understand how she could get so far without feeling a n y t h i n g and then on the back of that thought I realized how lush it would be that far and only have a week to wait to hit such a milestone. Given that I've had more scans in the last year than most people get across 5 pregnancies I was flabbergasted to find out how the other side lives.

Will update on Tuesday. Everything I own is crossed! I just hope it is 'normal' news and then I just need to focus on the 8 week scan and the heartbeat. I dread receiving any carelessly worded non committed comments. But the lady doing my scan diagnosed my ectopic, so I'm hopeful she won't beat around the bush (as it were)

GreenOlives · 29/06/2012 16:54

Thats right bertha I had an ectopic last Oct, had no idea I was pregnant as Id had a normal period but based on counting back to prev period I was 5+5 when my tube ruptured. Thats why my gynae consultant is being so cautious this time round. I do know what you mean though, these early scans/blood tests are more worrying than reassuring! Ill keep everything crossed for you for Tues, Ive also been having bowel issues so hopefully thats a good sign for both of us!
Belly Well done on the PMA, my mood varies from wildly optimistic to depressingly pessimistic! I hope so much that these ones are sticky for all of us, roll on 17th for your scan.
Sue Do you taper the Pred earlier when youre on Hydroxy too? Or is it because youre on 40mg? Im on 25mg and Im sure I dont start tapering until 12 weeks according to Mr S's sheet.

snoopygirl · 29/06/2012 20:33

Hi Ladies,

Just thought I would do a quick post to let you know how I'm getting on as a couple of you asked.
I have had round 2 of chemo and round 3 next thursday 5th July (where has June gone!). Round 2 I was wiped out and bed bound for 3 days and sicky but lots of tabs to control things (bloody steroids when will I ever escape them!!). Have no other symptoms at the moment, just feel run down around day 10 and it's pretty scary. The slightest sore throat and I have visions of rushing to A&E. you have to be v mindful of your temp as it can be dangerous as you bloods/immune system is so low.
It's amazing (and a cliche) how lucky I feel to a) feel normal in the two weeks where you feel better and b) just be able to appreciate the simple things in life. Although I will forever feel different to everyone else now.
I still have my hair although it thinned massively a week ago but it's very thick so I'm getting away with it so far and people who don't know me wouldn't notice. DH got me an Ipad so am spending for too much time on it shopping! Snoopy is doing well and growing fast. He's all big paws and gangly legs bless him. he has been able to go outside now and I am following him around like some worrysome Mummy with a toddler, hoping he doesn't clear off and not know how to get back -it's pathetic!

Sorry not to namecheck all but just wanted to say:

Sue I can't believe it - it's happening for you at last -I am so happy for you. I wonder if it was the Hydroxy? x
Free Not long now, I'll be keeping an eye out for your progress. Good Luck x

Love to you all and thank you for thinking of me ladies, miss you all xxx

Delta10 · 29/06/2012 20:43

Hi all - sounds like lots is going on.
green you are exactly the same stage as me but I am not due a scan until next Friday & if that's ok I am due for one at 8+3 on tues 17th. Good luck for next week.
belly & bertha fingers crossed for your first scans too!
sue great that you have successfully reached tapering off stage - wish I was there!!
free best of luck with the countdown & hope you get everything sorted in time. My DS was breech but refused to turn so I had an elc at 38 weeks - tbh all I cared about at that stage was bringing my baby safely into the world & I wouldn't hesitate to have another elc if I am lucky enough to get that far again. I found the whole procedure & recovery great - not what I had worried about at all.
I have 'rush read' the posts so sorry if I've missed anyone & waves to all.

Delta10 · 29/06/2012 20:48

snoopy we crossed posts. I think of you often & thank you for the update - you sound amazing & are a reminder of how life can change in a flash & throw so much at you. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery x

snoopygirl · 29/06/2012 21:14

forgot to say lump has shrunk more since round 2 I can feel it. So chemo drugs doing their job thank god!!
Thanks Delta and good luck for your scan x

GreenOlives · 29/06/2012 22:07

Really good to hear how youre doing snoopy I admire your attitude so much and I hope that the chemo continues to do its stuff. Furry Snoopy sounds gorgeous!

eurochick · 30/06/2012 07:16

snoopy it's good to hear that it is all going to plan so far. The other snoopy sounds gorgeous. x

BellyD · 30/06/2012 09:09

Great to hear from you Snoopy and so glad the drugs are working. You are so brave. Internet shopping and furry snoopy sound extremely therapeutic Smile x

picolina123 · 30/06/2012 09:43

snoopy good to hear from you and hope u start to feel all better soon, you are SO strong !
bertha i was wondering how you would not notice ou are preg for 11 weeks! her cycle must be all over the place !!! it would be fantastic though, i wish if i ever fall preg again i can go to sleep and wake up when its all over !! lol like my mum says if wishes were horses beggars would ride!

digitalgirl · 30/06/2012 10:37

Great to hear from you snoopy. Really fantastic news that the lump is shrinking Grin. Have you made a list of all the things you want to do with ds once you're all better?

olives good luck with repeat hcg on Monday.

And good luck to all the scannees...it's bloody nerve wracking being in limbo.

free have you prepped yourself for an early spontaneous labour? I had ds1 at 36+5 Wink

freelancegirl · 30/06/2012 13:06

Snoopy it is so good to hear from you, and like the rest of them have said I do think about you often! So it is great to have regular updates - please come back and let us know. Sounds like you are doing comparatively great with the treatment, it's going to be hard going at some times but you are getting through it and the cancer is shrinking, which is amazing news. Loving the update too about Snoopy the Kitten! Sounds so damn cute. Nice and comforting to have these sorts of things as distractions too until they start chewing through your electric wires :)

Thanks for the nice words about the CS *Delta!! Quite a few people on this thread seem to have had them and come out of the other side ok, which is good to hear.

Bertha so glad there are good signs so far, and I don't blame you for being nervous about the scan. I always tend to tell people on the way in that I have had 4 previous losses and it seemed to make them keen early on in proceedings to point out the heartbeat. This discomfort on your left, I would bet, is actually down to the corpeus luteum cyst. Look it up! It's the bit that is left behind after ovulation, and when you are in the early stages of pregnancy it is providing the progesterone (and possibly other stuff - haven't looked it up in a while) needed for the pregnancy. It tends to disappear after a while, when the yolk sac takes over, but I remember getting quite a bit of discomfort from it - not too dissimilar to strong ovulation pains.

Good luck with tapering off the Pred Sue, it is indeed quite scary coming off any of the meds. I felt the same about stopping Hydroxy this week but there was no tapering. I have read that both stay in your system for a bit anyway so there is no dramatic loss in terms of body levels of the stuff IFKWIM.

Digi I have indeed been thinking about the possibility of going into labour early, especially as I have started to feel really uncomfortable. I feel like this baby is huge now and last night I could barely walk after a while (we WERE doing quite a bit of wandering - went on the new cable car from south of the river to north and then tried out Stratford Westfield - awful on a Friday afternoon btw but cable car was fab - you should take the DS'). I am keeping an eye on the mild aches I get in the hips and back (where I have felt contractions in previous pregnancies).

Mr S isn't back from holiday until the 15th so it would be good to hold on until then! I look at my huge protruding stomach and wonder can it get any bigger?! I am now 77kg having started this pregnancy at 65 and previously (ie before the two mcs immediately before that) was always around 60. I have finished packing the baby bag for hospital and now have to sort mine out. Got most of the bits I need but just need to pack in a suitable bag. Also I guess you were asking about what if it happened so quicky and I actually had to labour and try to give birth rather than get a CS on time. No idea, but I don't fancy the idea given that it's my first, it's huge, the MW says it is back to back and people with thyroid problems are known to have long and rather tough labours. But I will cross that bridge when I come to it! Right now the baby feels like it is trying to climb out through the middle Hmm

I have a home for the Hydroxy I offered - someone who has had 7 losses but has been lurking from the beginning on here! She has been prescribed it by her GP but has to make long trips to get it so mine will come in handy. It is nice to know that the thread is helping other people who don't necessarily come and say hello.

Hello other lurkers! Do come and say hello if you fancy.

So great to hear from you Snoopy, and good to hear the chemo is working and manageable, and also that your new family member and namesake is keeping you smiling.

Well, I have no idea yet about hysteroscopy magic. I am 9dpo and don't feel in the slightest bit pregnant apart from tiredness which could be down to anything really. I am supposed to test at 10dpo but may wait until Monday morning. Not holding my breath though. I've given up on symptom spotting as there's always something that could point to pregnancy but I've been proven wrong month after month for the last year and a half almost so we'll just have to see what's in store, or not.
