Thought we could do with a new thread since the old one is full.

I think anything that makes us feel better has to help. if that means not letting pets jump on us or lying down on the settee instead of rushing around its got to be a good thing

Hello all. Glad to see there's been some good news on the thread today - many congrats to state and melobear.

Been a bit up and down today. I phoned the EPU this morning to confirm scan date for next week and of course they didn't know anything about me. The lady was so unhelpful and kept telling me I would need to get in touch with the A&E doctor I saw to get myself rereferred in. As if that would be easy! I phoned back later in the day to check whether the referral had arrived - again it hadn't but I spoke to a different lady who listened to my story, booked me straight in for next Thursday morning and said that she'd get one of the EPU doctors to sign the referral form. I work for the NHS and it's really eye opening to be on the other side.

pebs I think i will go back to work next week. I think it will help take my mind off the situation. I'm a bit embarrassed as I did create a little bit of a scene yesterday! I think the whole department knew what was going on as one of the senior sisters escorted me down to A&E in tears.

I just hope that the scan on Thurs confirms things either way. I'm meant to be going on holiday on Friday evening and I'm worried that I might be left in query ectopic limbo land.

Anyway I have a lovely weekend planned - staying with friends down by the sea. One of them is a consultant radiologist and so am going to have to reisist the urge to ask her to scan me again (actually not sure I want one of my best friends going near me with a dildocam)

Have a good evening everyone

Morning ladies. I haven't posted on here for a while as I've been too tired and nauseous. Please can I come back :)

I'm sorry to see some of you have been having a hard time. Jollyb I hope you get your scan referral sorted, it can be so frustrating can't it.

I have not been having a good time of it. I've had some brown bleeding - a tiny bit at a time a few times over the last couple of weeks. Yesterday, there was more when I was at work so I freaked out and called the EPU. They said on the phone that they wouldn't give me a scan but I got very upset and they agreed to let me go in to be examined by a doctor. I waited for hours to be seen but was then examined. There was some red blood on the swabs which terrified me. I'm hoping it was just because they were poking about (tmi). The doctor didn't say anything reassuring at all, just kept saying that I couldn't have a scan because it is too early (at 9 weeks?!) and she didn't think it would be reassuring so I would just have to wait until my 12 week scan. I was in floods of tears and told her this is exactly how my mc in March started and they let me go on for weeks there too and I needed counselling afterwards. All she said was I could speak to someone else and they would just tell me the same thing. I was made to feel like an idiot.

Eventually a nurse came to see me and told me she had seen the doctors notes and it said my cervix is closed which is a positive sign. Why didn't the doctor tell me this?! She still said no scans but gave me the number for a private clinic.

I am so upset and terrified. What on earth am I to do when no one will help me? The private clinic has nothing until Wednesday and there are no other hospitals in my area.

Sorry for the me me me post.

Goodness sheldonella your EPU sounds even worse than mine! I can't believe they won't offer you a scan at 9 weeks. I can understand why some places won't scan before 6 weeks or so but it's cruel to make you wait til your twelve week scan. Are you going to have the private scan? What a stressful time.

Hi jollyb I have booked a private scan but it is not until Wednesday. I just need to try to keep calm until then. How are you this weekend?

Fortunately the bleeding has not increased and I've had no pain. So angry at the hospital, meant to be one of the best.

Sheldonella that sounds awful. Hang on in there to Wednesday and I hope it is all fine.

Getting a bit anxious about my appointment on tues. what if I imagined it all. That would be embarrassing.

Goodluck for tuesday and wednesday melo and sheldonella

Omg I guess I calculated my ov date incorrectly.... I just got feint bfp ! Good job we got the all clear to start ttc last Wednesday...... Quick question though I was taking pregnacare b100 vit d vit and folic acid ..... Do I stop now with the b and d vits???

congrats mumtum let's hope this is the one for you! i am not sure about the vitamins. i am just taking pregnacare and high dose folic acid.

Your epu sounds terrible shel. hope everything goes ok on wed.

Still having spotting here so i am going a little bit crazy. trying to remain calm but it's bloody hard. the injections are getting better though. the first two lest massive bruises on my legs. i have not moved to my stomach and not got any bruising.

Fantastic news mumtum. I haven't a clue about vitamins etc either but am sure there will be some wise posters along soon.

Hang in there pebs not long til your scan (though blissful ignorance is underrated).

Sheldonella - hope you're doing ok too.

Bleeding settled here but I think the chance of a positive outcome on thurs is very low. I made it into work today but had to come home as was on the brink of tears. I think I'll stay off until my scan on thurs. We're meant to be off on holiday on Friday -I really hope nothing happens on Thursday to stop this - I need some sunshine!!

jolly probably for the best to stay off work for this week.

blissful ignornance is pretty good, i would rather not have a scan but i really need to know if something is going wrong. especially since they will not do erpc until they have seen two bad scans so i will have to wait another week anyway. not sure if i will be able to go to work either but i feel like i have had so much time off for mc's over the last couple of years that i should go in.

i am not even sure what to do if i have another mc. that will be four in a row with no children. do i keep on trying and going through this every time or do i give up. don't think i could give up, maybe i should go back to the simpler times of no asprin/heparin. i didn't spotting in those first two pgs (although i wasn't pg with twins and a year old piece of placenta knocking about by uterus either). maybe this is just the heparin and everything is ok - fingers crossed.

meant to say earlier - i have NOW moved to my stomach and haven't got any more bruising.

pebs I so hope it's not another mc for you and just the injects etc. it's awful having one mc after another and I've been thinking the same thing. What if this one ends in tears. Keep positive. That's what I'm trying this time. Visualising a healthy baby in my arms in about 8 months.

The good thing this time is that I've found out really early on. Before I didn't realise that I was pg till just before I lost them at about 6-8 weeks as I was really irregular. Only just settled into regular cycles in last 12 months

glad there is no more bruising pebs i'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Morning all!

Firstly, apologies for being such a stranger - July was a rough month. My mum was diagnosed with cancer, and considering how healthy she usually is it was quite a shock. On the plus side, hospital staff have been great and are positive about her beating it now so we're crossing fingers.

Secondly, I got a bfp last week just over six weeks since lmp but I think I was still recovering from mc and ovulated later than usual...

Lots to take in at the moment!!

Coffee?

thanks state i read some of your cake thread - can't believe that cheeky woman!

sorry to hear about your mum glitter but glad to hear the hospital are positive. congrats on the bfp!

melo i think i could be more positive if i wasn't spotting. it really gets me down.

So sorry to hear about your mum glitter but big congrats on the bfp! X

Hi everyone hope you are all ok.

I am in the wtf cycle after mc. I think I ov early last week. Yesterday I had a little amount of spotting - it was almost purple and only when I wiped once. Today I have been having brown discharge when I've wiped. I am wondering if this is the start of af? If pg tests after a mc are -ve, does that mean that there is nothing left inside and that nothing has been retained?

Sorry for all the questions.

HiWoody!

I can't offer a robust scientific response, but I had my mc on June 2nd, got a negative BFP about 5 days later, then had af like bleed for five days from June 14th and another af like bleed for five days from July 1st. Doctor had been happy that all of pregnancy had gone, but I can't believe I had proper periods in just two weeks...

I think the wft stage is exactly that - seems like anything can happen. Have you been checking for signs of ov'ing?

Hi all

Congrats on your bfp glitter wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Hope everything goes well for your mum too.

Good luck for tomorrow Sheldonella - will be thinking of you.

It's going to be 3rd time unlucky for me. I sneakily checked my bhcg on Monday at work and it was only 101 - far too low for a viable 6 week pregnancy. At least I feel mentally prepared for Thursday's scan and bad news now.

All ok with you. pebs?

Hi Woody I got a negative result about 5wks after ERPC in Feb, AF 2 wks after ERPC, periods returned to normal after that but AF in May I had an evening and night of awful wind pains and cramps and the next day passed a small olive sized something....felt normal immediately and when checked with doc she rang hospital who said there was nothing unusual with ERPC products so no real explanation as to what olive thing was but I assume some kind of either retained product or placenta. Been A-Ok since and also had a smear test that was normal so nothing weird still up there!

Thoughts are with those metalling at the moment, fingers crossed for scans etc..

Hi dorita and glitter

I'm pretty sure that I ov at the start of last week, or even the wknd before. I had the tiniest amount of very dark spotting and have had a little bit of brown discharge when wiping - nothing at all like af though. Just waiting to see if this turns into af. Have also had terrible nausea since yesterday and the sides of my boobs hurt.

sheldonella really hope it goes ok at your scan today - will be thinking of you

jolly I hope you're ok

Good luck today sheldon

Congrats glitter!

Lots of love to you jolly

I'm just metalling away quietly waiting formy next scan which will be on the 3rd of Sept. Seems ages away...

jolly are you going to ask for a referral to a recurrent miscarriage clinic?

i am ok but still worrying about the spotting. i am trying to be calm but i can't help stressing. got my scan on friday should be six weeks so i will just have to see what happens.
