pixie, you could always go to A&E...I'm no expert but it sounds to me like you c

lurcherlover · 02/09/2012 14:30

Bloody phone! You could do with an ERPC perhaps.

tas excellent news! My scan at 5+2 didn't show much - the gestational
sac and yolk sac. A week later we saw a heartbeat too.

martha thinking of you. Really hope you get more answers on Thurs. I'm another one who has scoliosis without any problems, but I appreciate there could be a lot more going on.

StateofConfusion · 02/09/2012 19:37

pixie you poor love, surely they shoud do something, never mind the physical side of things mentally dealing with a mc for so long must be exhausting! I hope somethings done soon Xx

martha ill be thinking of you thursday, may I just add, a very close family friends dc2 was found to have many problems at her 21wk scan, she saw Professor Robert Winston. From child of our time and he advised a termination as she'd have no quality of life, they tolerated more invasive tests before deciding and now she has a beautiful, exceptionally intelligent 9yo, she did have several ops as a baby but is now amazing with just mild curviture of the spine. Don't loose hope, take care xxxx

Polka2 · 02/09/2012 20:17

pixie that sounds a nightmare but least you had kind and helpful ladies on hand, hideous!

tas brilliant news!! Smile

martha you crazy lady, I wasn't intending on making you weep, just to know that we 'get it'. Hugs. Wink

AFM on the last week of my 2ww and have received two baby announcements in 2 days, finding it tough tbhSad

Quicksie · 02/09/2012 21:02

pixie I bled for almost four months after medical management, they didnt take me seriously I mentioned the words depression, medical negligence and being on the edge! Then miraculously it was dealt with within two days.
I can honestly say that I was getting to the point where the bleeding was making me feel worse than the grief. Since it has stopped I feel like myself again. They kept saying that if I didnt have an infection to wait it out, but as the shocked doctor at the epu told me after gp referral, infections often dont present symptoms and the bleeding is a symptom!
hope everyone is okay and hanging in there. I chickened out of testing this weekend, will see whether af comes calling this week!

ConfusedMumDotCom · 02/09/2012 21:13

Just seen Martha's news. ((hugs))

MumTumWanted · 02/09/2012 21:14

Tas great news Grin

Pixie I would definitely call the epu the additional episodes sound very random and I echo what the others say I needed the bleeding to stop before I could begin to move on

Martha oh my, SadI just don't know what to say after all the trials and heartache you have already been through your scan seems so unbelievably unfair. My thoughts are are with you hun and I'm rooting for u that u get better news on Thursday. And quite rightly whatever the outcome and the possible ensuing consequences and decisions we are all here for you xxx

Afm - got my 6 weeks scan at 9.20 on Wednesday. I will by then be 6+5. I've been here enough times now to know that if there's no heartbeat then I've to face another mc. Dh and I have already decided. This is our last try Sad. If this makes 4 I just don't think I could go through it all again. But I have unbelievable all day nausea and very sore boobs both more so than in any of the previous 3 pregs at this stage ( loss of symptoms always being my first indication of mc) so I'm trying to stay positive at this despite secretly wondering if it's the cyclogest pessarys giving me this false hopeConfused

Munchkinsmama · 02/09/2012 21:49

collie2 here, (namechange) do you remember me? Sorry to see you on this thread again but massive yay for bfp and even bigger yay for nausea! I'll lurk again weds to see how you go, good luck!!

Sorry for your losses to everyone else on here. I was on this thread in it's early days last December. Miscarriage is a sad and lonely place. I hope you all get your bfps soon. I got mine...he's 9months now and he loves to keep me awake at night!!!:-)

MumTumWanted · 03/09/2012 08:43

Hey collie of course I remember you how are you and wow 9 months already that's fantastic Grin
Yeah sad to say I'm still here :( but really trying to be positive this time though it doesn't stop the metalling !!!!! Are any of the other grads still around ? Dachs and so on ???

pebspop · 03/09/2012 09:26

martha so sorry to hear about your scan. i don't think you will be judged for any decisions you make. you have to do what is best for you and your family. it's really unfair after everything you have been through.

tas congrats on the bfp. so glad this is not an eptopic.

pixie i would get back in touch with the epu. if they aren't helping you an accupuncturist might be able to help to move the last clot along. they worked wonders for me when i had a 12 week wtf cycle.

i am still plodding along. going to the epu on friday for another scan. should be between 9 and 10 weeks. i am going to book in for the 12 week scan if everything is ok on friday. i am going to find a private clinic as i can't go back to the place where i had my last 20 week scan and found the baby had died. it looks like there are some around manchester. i don't really want to go to the baby bond type places as i feel like it will be full of smug couples having 3d scans - maybe i am wrong but thats the impression i get.

i had a bit of nausea the last couple of days and this morning i actually had to run to toilets at work to be sick - never had that before!

glad to hear your news munchkin hope thats me soon!

backwardpossom · 03/09/2012 10:11

I have my NT scan today at 1:45pm (I think that's what it is, the 12 week one right?) so metalling away... I'm sure there's definitely something in there given the size of my tum, but terrified it's not healthy or something. Am 13 weeks today according to my early scan 4 weeks ago, but I suspect that's slightly out. I guess I'll find out for sure today. Have vomited a lot the last couple of days but seem to be ok today. Have also had a headache for 3 days that seems to have gone, too. I went to bed at 9pm last night. That's probably helped!

Hope you're all ok - pebs is the being sick reassuring you any? I know what you mean about the private scans... I've been thinking about it as I'd like to know what gender this one is (although DH doesn't want to know... so he can sort out all the baby clothes once the baby is born - see, I'm trying to be positive!) but I feel the same as you! Will have everything crossed for you on Friday x

pebspop · 03/09/2012 10:32

i am feeling pretty relaxed backward i only really freak out when i am about to have a scan. i find scans terrifying. i can barely look at the screen. once i have a glimpse of the heartbeat i just blink a lot and unfocus my eyes so it looks like i am looking but i am not really seeing it! i tell them to turn it away from me as soon i can.

the sickness is pretty good i suppose but it's just another thing to worry about if it stops now. i am not really one for having preg symptoms. i don't usually feel any different from usual. boobs aren't bigger or sore, i am a bit tired but not too bad.

my cat is reassuring me though. he spent the last six months sitting on his own in the spare room (i thought he was winding down his life tbh) but since i got back from holiday pg he can't leave me alone. he is sitting on my knee all the time. so thats really cute! i think he must know something is going on!

backwardpossom · 03/09/2012 10:42

I'm sure animals know. The dog has been sucking up to me, too, and resting his head on my tum. He did this with DS, too. So cute!

OP posts:
StateofConfusion · 03/09/2012 14:32

I think animals do know, my mums pup has haunted me since joining the family, and dps mums dog is the same!

Goodluck today backward x

MumTumWanted · 03/09/2012 16:05

Ladies just a quick point we are nearing a full thread ..... Tradition suggests a ttc lady may get good luck in starting a new one .... Any offers ?????

backwardpossom · 03/09/2012 17:22

All well ladies, I'll update properly once I've done DS's food... But one very happy lady here!

Fantastic backward xx

wilderumpus · 03/09/2012 17:55

great backward am so pleased for you :)

pebs glad you are still plodding! I would think the same about the baby bond places too...

good luck for scan mumtum!

polka where are you on your 2ww? I am 9dpo and feeling twitchy to test! Am at home with ill DS today so too much time to symptomn spot and working from home all week! so the loo and them fecking tests will be calling! and they will be negative and I will not work and mope all day :( please tell me not to test. ever. Will you test?

I shall bow out of starting a new thread as; a) I feel shy; and b) I started a different thread on mc and ttc on MN not too long ago. Don't want to hog all the 'luck'!

MissCoffeeNWine · 03/09/2012 19:20

Oh martha that's just not fair. In fact news like that is a cunt. Add it to the long list of cunty things we have gathered along this thread Sad I hope there is more information for you, I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel, but whatever there is there will always be support for you here. I am sorry Sad

Quicksie · 03/09/2012 20:13

Martha I don't know what to say, apart from that no one on here would judge you. No one on here would be daft enough to think that it is possible to know what you would do in that situation, and anyone who has been through it would understand any reaction you have. I am hoping that you get some better news, as others have pointed out, sometimes these things turn out differently.

Wilde I am at 15 dpo (I think!) and trying to not chew my fingernails off in a mixture of terror and excitement! If AF arrives I will be gutted...this is the first cycle since MMC that actually feels like it might have been possible! I have got my fingers crossed for you!

Possom can't wait to hear the good news! Yay!

Pebs sickness has got to be good hasn't it. Yay for puke!

Hope everyone else is okay and sorry I haven't namechecked everyone - waiting for a chinese takeaway to celebrate the first day back at school today! Naughty I know but you have to be nice to yourself don't you! And I did 20 lengths of a very short pool after work!

backwardpossom · 03/09/2012 20:15

So the scan - the baby was being an awkward bugger, legs and arms waving about all over the place, lying in a daft position etc. Just like his/her brother... Sonographer said nuchal looked well within the normal range and that everything looks healthy, but obviously I'll have to wait to get the official results etc. Saw the consultant - he was a lovely guy but they'd made a mistake when they booked me an appointment with him - it should have been with the same consultant I saw after DS. So they've made me an appointment to see him at 28 weeks to (hopefully) book in for a section. So I'm now apparently 13+3 (which is actually pretty impossible going by my dates, but I'll not complain) and am due on the 8th of March! :)

PS we need a new thread...

OP posts:
Quicksie · 03/09/2012 20:19

Is Pixie around to start a new thread?

Dorita75 · 03/09/2012 20:32

Hi,
Think I've started a new thread though not done it before so fingers crossed....

it's here
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1555834-Trying-to-conceive-after-mc-Pregnant-after-MC-and-seeking-somewhere-safe-to-hide-Recently-graduated-from-the-mosh-pit-Come-on-down-to-the-mosh-pit-for-some-serious-metalling-and-cake-Part

Hoping for some good luck, like so many others. I should've had a baby this week if the mmc hadn't happened and after spending the day in tears am ready for some positivity!!

Polka2 · 24/10/2012 09:47

dorita my DH and I have been through all those tests, it's good as it gives you peace of mind that nothing's wrong and you are ov'ing although the ov bloods are normally taken day 21 of your cycle. If anything is amiss they can then get investigating and sort it out.

Good luck today cheese.

midget how are you getting on?

wilde good move with telling your mates, least you know you've been up front about it all, always soooooo tricky Wink

AFM marathon dtd month is off to a ropey start, after 4 yrs of ttc we're kinda past fun packed passion sessions!!
