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

[Dorita75]

Hi, thought I'd start the new thread. This is a brilliant thread for anyone trying to conceive or who has got a bfp after mc, full of lovely ladies, fab advice and a lovely place to metal, so called because someone said metal instead of mental and the rest is history......

Great news, lurcher :)

Fab news lurcher .

Just left work and heading to hospital for my 'why do I keep having bloody miscarriages?' appointment.

good news lurcher. the nuchal result was one thing i didn't metal about - how strange! they haven't contacted me within a week anyway so it must be low risk.

good luck jolly hope they sort you out with some answers.

Thanks lurcher - great to hear your good news! The metalling never stops, does it?

I had a good scan too: 8+3 with a good heartbeat, which ties in with my dates using opk.

I'm not out the woods yet, though - my last mmc was at 9+ weeks, so I've got another scan in 2 weeks, then another at 12.

So I've passed the first hurdle, but have a very long road ahead - these 2 scans (if nothing happens before) - then worry about nuchal translucency/cvs/amnio (I'm 40) & finally PE recurring - so I've just accepted this is the way things will be

congrats on the scan results cheese and lurcher!

good luck at the appt jolly!

Many congrats cheese - we'll try to help keep you sane over the next few weeks.

pebs - hope you're feeling a bit calmer x

Congrats to lurcher and cheese fingers crossed for a smooth and happy road ahead for you both!

i am not so bad today jolly my boobs were a bit sore today and i have put weight on when i weighed myself this morning so seeing these as good signs.

got a scan on friday so not long to wait.

the worry never ends eh cheese? glad your scan went well.

And a big "yay!" to you too, cheese! :)

Congrats cheese and lurcher really pleased for you can only hope my day will come!

Been in a and e since 8 just got home was sent up to ward 4 for tests my bleeding stopped so they were happy to send me home blood tests were ok sending me for a scan Friday morning to see Wats going on its given me false hope probably because she seems to think it was just an early pregnancy bleed not a mc but I can't help but think the worst after the year I've had :-( Friday =dday

I'm hanging on in there not too bad in myself dh2b seems to be worse than me this time bless him

Hope your all ok girlie's xx

Have you had a scan previously in this pg scared? could it be an early pg bleed?

Yes that's wat doctor said it could be but I've had cramps too but that could be anxiety I don't know I got my hopes up now and I shouldnt do that coz I never have good news from that place so I'm just being silly I think to hope for the best

No I'm only 6 weeks today they don't scan you before that here as its all to small to see

good luck scared! fingers tightly crossed for you chuck x

Huge congratulations lurcher and cheese . It's so lovely having a little string of people all metalling their way through these early stages together.

Hope things go well for you at your appointment this afternoon/evening Jaffa and you get the ball rolling towards getting some answers x

I'm having a rubbish day but thankfully all parish council politics, builders rubbish communication skills and handiwork, and work related rather than pregnancy related. Although finding the time and energy to sort it all out in the evenings when i'm knackered is hard work.

scared I'm sorry you're still in limbo - not knowing is often the worst part, as you can't move on.

I really hope it's good news for you on Friday. Until then, take good care of yourself, rest plenty & be kind to yourself/DP

scared sending you lots of love and strength for limbo time.

Well just got back from hospital. Mixed feelings about how the appointment went. Was pretty anxious before I went in - saw the sonographer who scanned me with my last 2 miscarriages in the waiting room. Was on the brink of tears.

Consultant was nice and very positive about me being able to have a successful pregnancy again. Almost to the point where he seemed to slightly dismiss my fears. He was very much taking DP's line which is 'we've done it before so we'll do it again". He seemed to think the fact that DD was a good birth weight was a good sign.

My GP had already requested most of the necessary blood tests (glucose, thyroid etc). The only outstanding test is my thrombophilia (blood clotting) screen which he will follow up.

He recommended multivitamins for both of us. He's said that I could take aspirin 75mg from positive test to 12 weeks but evidence for this is bit conflicting. If I'm found to have a clotting problem I'll be started on heparin injections as well as the aspirin.

Apparently they don't routinely karyotype anymore as the results weren't really that helpful. Checking progesterone levels and progesterone supplementation is out of fashion too now.

The only other thing he would do is book me in for an early scan - both for reassurance and because as per Dr Regan's work, it has been shown to improve outcomes.

So there we are. Off to the chemist to buy a huge jar of Wellman vitamins for DP!

Sounds really positive jolly glad your on the way down the right road! X

Sounds good jolly best of luck x

So happy about positive scan news lurcher and cheese! And scared things are looking better for you, fingers crossed for Friday's scan x

jollyb I apologise if I'm being thick (and I don't know Dr Regan or what she says) but how does an early scan help a positive outcome? Am just interested....does the scan itself do something to help things????

Have been getting ovulation twinges the last 2 days so it's off to dtd soon....please please please happen this time baby

jolly it all sounds quite reassuring. Hope the blood results are all good when you get those back.

Holding your hand scared through the limbo period - fingers crossed for Friday.

Dorita, get off mn and dtd at once!

Jolly hope you're feeling reassured by that. I know you want an easy answer and a quick fix, but in the absence of that at least the consultant is optimistic about your next pregnancy. Thanks for sharing, it's given me more hope about my own chances. I'm off to get dh his multivits tomorrow!

Scared hope you're coping ok. The limbo period is the worst bit. By the sounds of it you're not bleeding now. Fingers crossed for a happy outcome.

Dorita - you're not being thick - I don't think the experts know either. this is the original study.

humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/12/2/387.full.pdf

I'm not arguing - at least I'll be able to get an early scan on the NHS now!

great news jolly, can take some heart from the consultant's confidence!

hope you ok today scared?

wish my Dr knew anything about early scans improving outcomes, maybe he wouldn't have made his twatty comment that there is no point having a scan as if I am going to mc, I am going to mc and anyway, if there is something wrong with the baby that wouldn't show until i am 20 weeks. bah and feck off!
