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......

Piemistress · 06/09/2012 09:03

So happy for you mumtum, whoop go baby!

MandaHugNKiss · 06/09/2012 09:29

Hey, hey! How you doin', Lady?

mumtum Fab news!

marrf I know this is different, but the same-ish. WIth DS2, I was in hospital at 22 weeks for a bleed (placenta previa). Stayed overnight and went down the following morning for a scan to check baby/that placenta wasn't peeling away. The sonographer is very quiet. The sonographer leaves the room and comes back with someone else and points stuff out, muttering quietly so that I can't quite hear, and they both are nodding and looking concerned. Then send me back to my room!

Later a female doctor comes in and explains they've seen a problem with the baby's heart and it's not compatible with life; I need a specialist hour long scan with a certain consultant to confirm but.. and then went on to explain in detail how they would terminate.

I had to wait TWO WEEKS for that scan (and was actually in hospital the whole time as I kept bleeding) that confirmed there was NOTHING WRONG with baby's heart (bar one of the ventricle walls being ever so slightly thicker than usual).

When I think back to how I was treated it's bloody awful. But I was 23 at the time and didn't know it should/could be any different (indeed, I'm not sure the nhs knew at the time it should/could be any different - this is 15 years ago!). It was presented to me that there was definitely an 'incompatible with life' issue and that the only thing to do was terminate. No, there might be this issue so we'll check and then these are your choices.

I am really really hoping that the issues they've seen or think they've seen with your baby are not as bad as they appear. Really hoping.

Lots of love though the ether to you and DH.

pebspop · 06/09/2012 11:42

hope everything goes ok for you today martha i am crossing my fingers that it's all been a terrible mistake.

glad to hear your news mumtum

i am going for a scan in the morning. hope everything is ok. i have no reason to worry but of course i do and can't help it. if everything is ok it will be the 12 week scan next eeekkk! very nerve wracking time for me as i had my first mc a couple of days after the 12 week scan when everyone thinks you are safe. bloody mc's spoil everything.

tasmaniandevilchaser · 06/09/2012 13:55

just popping in to say hope it goes ok today martha, thinking of you

and hi to piemistress!

and hoorah for mumtum glad it was good news

I've got my scan tomorrow, I'll be 5+1. I'm convinced it's going to be bad news, I haven't got any bleeding like with the EP but I feel a bit dizzy, though it could be stress. Sad I just can't believe I could be lucky enough for it to be in the right place, pebs you're right bloody mcs (and ectopics) spoil everything! Hope we both have good news tomorrow.

StateofConfusion · 06/09/2012 15:00

Hope your ok martha x

wilderumpus · 06/09/2012 15:05

good luck for scans tomorrow pebs and tas.

can't believe you are 12 weeks already pebs!

pebspop · 06/09/2012 15:19

i am only 9-10 weeks at the moment wilde. my next scan will be the 12 weeker. which makes me nervous. i will be a wreck until 20 weeks. maybe i could relax a bit after that one. fingers crossed i get that far.

wilderumpus · 06/09/2012 15:24

ah, should stop speed reading :) Glad you aren't 12 weeks or that time just went tooooooo fast! hehe! good luck good luck!

manda that's terrible!

Dorita75 · 06/09/2012 20:01

Congratulations mumtum! Great news Smile

almondavocado you're in the WTF cycle where anything can happen! 40 days isn't unusual (nothing is 'normal' in the time after a mc) and AF will probably arrive in a week or so. I'm a 25day cycle girl and mine was about 35 days after erpc. Once it did come it lasted about 5 days, then after another 8 days I got another AF for about 7 days! After that I returned to 25 days.

Hello to everyone else, so many names, I am in awe of those of you who's brains remember names and what's going on with everyone!

Can't remember who asked about preseed but yes, you can get it on Amazon! Mine arrived today, here's the link if you want to read about it yourself. Not sure if it'll work but my SIL gave up alcohol, used preseed and would lie with her legs up in the air and is now preggers with number 2, I have my fingers crossed! www.amazon.co.uk/Conceive-Fertility-Lubricant-Individual-Applicators/dp/B004GHALRK/ref=pd_ys_iyr_img

wilde sooooo excited congrats!

martha how did today go? Thinking of you.

Welcome to the new ladies so sorry you find yourself hereWink

Well I'm day 26 on a usually bang on 30 day cycle and had a tiny weeny bit of pinky blood when I wiprd and have had nothing since, do u ladies think its the dreaded AF or possibly ( straw clutching) implantation????

Polka2 · 06/09/2012 20:11

Ooooo mumtum great news on the scan too, must have been reassuring Wink

Dorita75 · 06/09/2012 20:18

Oh blimey polka I was in the same position this month, had blood when wiped on day 22 (25 days usually) and ended up just being 3 days early (that never happens) I had massive hopes for it being implantation! It could be anything couldn't it Confused but lets all keep our fingers crossed it is implantation for you!

MissCoffeeNWine · 06/09/2012 20:51

Thinking of Martha today. Good news mumtum and wilde Grin

Hello manda and pie!

Good luck tomorrow tas. Sorry about the anniversary Polka.

Well, I have news - Little Miss Coffee is out and in my arms. She was really in there all along. I think I have stopped metalling. Maybe. She is a pretty happy chubby 8lb little thing, luckily she was able to be born at home without interference or damage (to carpets or perineums respectively).

Thank you everyone for helping me to here Wine

Polka2 · 06/09/2012 20:58

Wowsers huge congrats misscoffee incredible it gives us all hope Grin

tasmaniandevilchaser · 06/09/2012 21:09

missc WHOOP WHOOP! I'm doing a jig of happiness for you! Grin That is really wonderful news.

For those thinking of preseed, I used that this cycle and got my BFP, so I'm a fan!

martha been thinking of you today x

Midgetm · 06/09/2012 21:15

missC I lick both you and mini c. Brings a tear to my over tired eye. Congratulations on surviving 9 months of metalling (63 months in dog months). You are a clever old thing aren't ya?

martha we are all thinking of you today. Come back when you can face it.

Posting from phone so can't read back any more posts and silly Pregnant brain like a sieve so best bugger off now.

Piemistress · 06/09/2012 21:53

Welcome to the world little miss coffee! Congrats!! If my baby brain is right then we now have 5 baby girls and 2 baby boys graduating from this thread? I think poppyjen was due a couple of days ago too. DD is now 11 weeks, she was born 13.5 months after I lost mini pie.

Is the stats list still on the go? X
