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

Hope you are ok pebs and that Friday comes around quickly for you

Hi pebs - I will ask for a referral but I think I may take a break for a few months from TTC. Work wise it makes sense - I'm coming to the end of my training and will be applying for permanent posts in the next few months. I've not really been concentrating at work whilst obsessing about getting and staying pregnant. Maybe my body was trying to be helpful!

I do worry that I may never have another child (I could accept 2 miscarriages as bad luck but 3 makes me feel there is a problem) but I'm lucky to have a beautiful daughter already. I must admit I haven't found motherhood easy and so maybe stopping at one is the best thing for me.

Anyhow enough of my tales of woe (will be scaring people away from joining the thread!)

Hope everyone else is doing ok and that there is good news for sheldonella . Possum hang in there - 3rd sept will come round before you know it. Woody - no great advice from me- my problem was that it took over 9 weeks to get my period post ERPC.

a break makes sense jolly do you mind me asking how old you are?

I am 32 but i haven't got any children. i am sure it would be easier for me if i did as i wouldn't feel the same pressure to become a mum. i suppose mums feel under pressure to complete their families/keep the age gap as they planned so it's difficult for everyone in different ways.

If this one doesn't work out i will have to try again but i will be off to my friends wedding in las vegas in october to console myself. suppose i wouldn't be able to treat myself as much if i had a child already. i have had more 'one last big holidays' to last a lifetime since ttc.

i did tell my friend if i am on that plane to las vegas i will be gutted :(. she knows i am ttc again and will understand if i can't go to the wedding.

jolly really sorry to hear that. Hope you're ok.

sheldon hope your scan was ok today.

No news from me other than I'm waiting for the result of my second hcg level - had blood taken on Mon. They promise a 24 hour turnaround with results but they're still not back and the receptionist said it may be Friday before they come in. I'm really fed up - just want some indication of whether or not this pregnancy is progressing and hcg level was low last week so need to see a good increase this week.

lurcher I can't believe that they are taking so long - that is rubbish. The waiting must be horrible. I really hope that everything is ok.

jolly sorry for what you are going through. In my prayers.

sheldon Hope your scan went well or at least not badly.

pebs I understand it hard to be positive in that situation. Hang in there and hopefully the scan will be good and the worry will be forgotten.

Went to my appt yesterday and GP said he was unconvinced and I should come back in 2 weeks as line was faint on his test too. I asked to see it and it was a million times darker than the one I did. Could clearly see it, no squinting or holding it to the light scenario! Managed to get him to at least ask about blood test at end of appt - conviced him that might be feint due to low levels and not that I'm not pregnant and that he might finally be able to confirm is mcs are due to insufficient levels. Not sure but I am gathering that there are expected levels as certain stages so it is comparatible. Ladies on here might be able to confirm/deny that.

Anyway, went for blood test today. Got to wait a week for results but at I'm a lot more positive about it having seen a much darker line at GPs yesterday. Lady that took blood was so nice as well. Made me feel so much more relaxed. She kept telling me everything is going to be fine, this tiime will work. its the furtherst I have come in finding out why things go wrong so maybe we can make it work this time round.

Sincerley sorry to anyone who this upsets and who are having a much worse time than me. Hope it all comes good for everyone.

On a completely different note - I got a job offer today. Starting Monday so will be something to keep my mind of things and keep busy

Hi everyone, just popping in to say I've had the stitch. Everything's fine and I've just got home. I can't remember who it is but I know someone else had a problem with their last spinal like I did, just to say it went in fine this time.

Feeling a bit ill so will try and catch up with the thread later, hope everyone's ok xx

Thanks ladies. The scan was good news - dancing baby measuring 9+6 as expected. I am so so relieved.

I'm thinking about all having worrying times and fx that you get some positive news soon. Can only be quick but will catch up properly later.

moonmin glad to hear the stitch went went. you take it easy and have a rest! hope you feel better soon.

shell good news on the scan. i hope mine goes well on friday.

i am feeling strangely positive at the moment. i have had no spotting today and i am almost sure i didn't have any yesterday but can't really remember.

if i can have no spotting i might be able to do the positive thinking thing. spotting in pg really gets you down.

the new job sounds very exciting melo something new to concentrate on.

my job is really boring. i hate it but it's really good money and i am not really under pressure or stress so will have to stick it out until i can get on mat leave and rethink in the future.

Glad the stitch went well, moomin, and I am delighted to hear your good news sheldonella! Glad you're feeling a bit more positive pebs. x

so sorry I can't post properly but just read this page and seems are a few of you sad or worried and in limbo at the mo. I hope you are ok. pebs good luck for your scan fri. sheldon chuffed for you lady x

Sheldon - very happy news.

Moomin- glad the stitch went well. Hope you're not too sore.

Pebs - I'm 34. A little bit older than you but hopefully I still have a few fertile years left. Am crossing my fingers for you. It sounds positive that your spotting hasn't progressed to anything heavier.

Melo and lurcher hope your bloods are ok. I can't believe your GP was trying to interpret the darkness of your pregnancy test melo!

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting for scans, and glad to hear some positives from moomins and Sheldon (and apologies if this has been asked before but are you a fan of TBBT by any chance?)

Woody have you had anymore spotting/bleeding? I had really sore boobs just before my second strange surely-that-can't-have-been-a-whole-cycle bleed - really messed with my head because I don't usually get that with af!

Rang the doctor yesterday and explained about the mc and uncertainty over dates so receptionist said she'd get doc to call me back (they didn't) and then made me an appt for 21st September. Is it me, or is that far too long away?? People talk about phoning their EPU if they have concerns but I still don't even know how to get hold of mine! Surely September is too long a wait, especially after a mc?

melo I can't believe your GP!

Glitter no more bleeding - and when I did, it was literally one wipe and it was gone. Have had a little bit of brown discharge but that's it. Still having this horrible nausea (although I can now face food) and my boobs are sore. I just want to know where I am in this wtf cycle and if af is on the way, I want it to get here!

Glad the spotting has stopped pebs

Glad it all went well sheldonella

I just typed out a message and lost it! Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you melo lurcher and pebs. Moomin - glad your stitch went well. Hope you get some rest today.
Glitter Yes, I love TBBT and DH thinks I'm like Sheldon :) Sorry about your mum
woody How long has your wtf cycle been now? Mine was 4 weeks in the end. Hope it sorts itself out.

glitter i got hold of my EPU the first time by ringing NHS direct with bleeding.

after my first mc they said i can ring anytime. i usually forget the number between pregnancies but just ring the main hospital number and they will put you through.

woody my wtf cycles have lasted six weeks following erpc. is there any chance you could be pg with those symptoms?

still no spotting here so trying to feel positive. bit nervous for tomorrow though.

Not good news here . Sac hasn't grown since last scan so have been sent on my way to miscarry naturally. Was horrid to be back in EPU but the sonographer and nurse were absolutely lovely. Feeling surprisingly ok as I was expecting today's result. Off to treat myself to a haircut.

:( Jolly so sorry, take care xxx

jolly sorry to hear the news.

I think it does help when you are expecting it.

Did you choose to wait or did the epu advise you to wait to miscarry naturally? Just wondering as i saw on here a while ago the nhs were thinking of changing the guidelines and making everyone wait. i had never mc'd naturally so would not like this.

Hope you feel able to ttc in the future if thats what you decide.

So sorry for your loss jolly take care of yourself

jolly so sorry to hear your shitty news I hope your new swishy hair cut has helped but giant hugs if not

I'm stalking but not posting as feel thoroughly crap about life, my due date is looming and am panicking I may never get pg, so didn't want to depress everyone!

........ But I have remembered to bring crisps, dips and beer

jolly so sorry to hear that. Looking forward to hearing about your fabulous hair cut and thinking of you.

polka good call, crisps sound good. One of theorist things about your getting old is the collection of terrible anniversaries you amass :(

Oh god, one of the worst things, not theorist!! Bloody autocorrect

Sending love to jolly x
