[chasingtherainbow]

Roll up roll up... onto a new thread. Keep those lucky bfp' s coming and unmumsnetty hugs all round.

Congrats Daisy :) so pleased for you.

Mrsfaz, I ended up telling more people I'd miscarried than I did that I was pregnant. It really helped me cope to talk about it.
Hand holding from me xxx

Just wanted to say thinking of you today Treacle, hope the day goes as well as it can and you can enjoy tomorrow. Thinking of everybody else having a tough time too. for you all.
Sounds promising Envious, will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Sorry meant to say congratulations Daisy, fantastic news. Hopefully that's the start of a whole lot of bfps to come.

Hey just wanted to check in, I got a bfp early in dec after a blighted ovum in September. I don't have sore boobs but I am still hopeful as I have other symptoms. We have all been here before and wanted to say thanks for all the support xxx

envious that all sounds really promising. Fingers crossed for you.

Congratulations Daisey!

Thinking of you today Treacle, I hope you can do something nice xx

I'm 5dpo and it's dragging! We're away visiting family so that helps. (TMI) I'm getting tons of discharge, a few pains in my boobs and feeling tired. Trying not to get my hopes up though. Good luck to anyone else in their 2ww!

treacle, just popping on to say I'm thinking of you today. Much unMNy love and hugs sweet xxxxxxx

Also hugs from me treacle xx

Congratulations daisy !!! Brilliant.

Fx for you llama.

Thanks ladies for all your support this year. I hope next year is a better one for us all xx

Sending you enormous unmumsnetty hugs Treacle. Thinking of you.

Congratulations Happy - here's to a healthy pregnancy.

Symptoms are sounding positive Envious - keeping everything crossed for you.

Monten - I'm with you in hopping 2015 will be better. How fab would it be if we all gave birth to happy, healthy babies in 2015? Currently clinging onto the hope that it WILL happen for us all next year.

Thank you so much ladies, it means so much that you've remembered.

I'm going to spend all day cooking yummy food for us to take to dh's parents tonight.
We will toast Little Seed with a brandy later.

Big hugs Treacle xx

Thinking of you today treacle hope you're getting plenty of hugs and support.

Thank you xxx
I haven't spoken to DH about it yet. I got pretty upset last night when we went to the panto. Still, ive got lots to do and keep me busy.

Also, my head is all over the place and I can't think. To those of you who were due December, big hugs and support. It's a hard time of year not to be pregnant, especially after mc. But we will get there xxx

Hello all. I heard that you are a very supportive lot so I hope you don't mind if I join you and ask some practical advice. I started mc-ing yesterday. I would have been 10 weeks today. They did a trans-abdominal scan in the hospital and didn't find a hb. But they didn't have the facilities in the emergency clinic to do an internal scan and won't diagnose officially (or do anything about it) until I get an internal and the next available appt was the 29th. However I am 100% sure it's gone as I had an early scan a week and a half ago and the bean was bigger then than it was yesterday, and had a strong hb. I'm at my parents for Christmas which is not in the UK which adds an extra layer of complication. I have some intermittent light bleeding and cramping now, and what I was wondering if I could ask you guys what I should expect for the next few days. Does the bleeding tend to go on for days/weeks and does it get very very heavy? I suppose it might stop altogether, it has been kind of starting and stopping. Thank-you in advance

Hi molly, so sorry to hear what's happening. I would have been 10 weeks when I lost my little one too. From my experience, I had light cramping and bleeding that lead to heavy bleeding. It also came with a lot of pain so make sure you've got paracetamol and ibuprofen with you. Mine hit a peak when I went through a bit of labour for an hour or so before I passed the baby. After the baby had passed, the pain stopped straight away. II don't mean to scare you and your experience may be very different but it's best to be prepared. I did have a medically management MC though so with yours (if it is) being natural, it might take a bit longer. Buy some super thick pads, the night time ones were the best for me, stay near your bed and toilet (I just alternated between the two when it was all happening) and have some support with you if/when it starts to get heavier. Keeping eating as the bloody loss can make you feel dizzy. So sorry this is happening, especially over christmas. Hope your okay and I hope this helps xx

Thanks ladies!! Just reading this post really really helped .... Don't really know anyone that has miscarried and ALL my mates are pregnant so seems unfair to talk to them about it! I had a good cry last night talking to my mum so got it all out! The EPAU gave me a week off work so I plan on RELAXING!!

Think the emotions were worse because I also had biopsies done on a breast lump last week and results were due today .... Just had the phone call today to say all negative so at least one bit of good news x

After I passed the main clots/main stuff I bled for about 2 weeks, very much like a light period but they do say it can be up to 4 weeks xx

Thanks a million Haribo, really kind of you to share your experience. I plan to work my way through the thread to hear everyone else's stories once I feel a bit better. Head's a bit woozy at the mo

sebs, how are you? I was thinking of you the other day and hoping all is ok with you xx

treacle, definitely a good idea to keep busy today but do allow yourself to grieve. Say a prayer, raise a glass, whatever you want to do to remember your littlie. Much love xx

treacle just popping on to say I'm thinking of you.

To everyone else, I will raise a glass this evening for all our little seeds.
Before I open the wine and commence wrapping I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the advice, support, hugs, sympathy and at times smiles over the last year. I wish I could invite you all for a Christmas drink this evening.

Congratulations to the new bfps and here's hoping that will be us all soon. I'm feeling really teary today but you ladies have been a life line in some very dark times and it's a privilege to have had this kind of support.

Cheers

Broody I've confused everyone as I have been here all along under the username NewEraNewMindset. I wanted to get rid if sebsmummy as I associated it with infertility and miscarriage. Now in pregnant again I have bought it back so if I miscarry again I can get rid of it again and not taint my new name.

Makes sense to me lol. Anyway I'm good right now!!!

mollym sorry you're going through mc today. There is a lot of practical advice on the miscarriage section of mn with what to expect and how to manage things. As haribo said it's different for everyone.

treacle hugs

I still have brown stringy stuff. I googled it and wish I hadnt! If its not settled in a few days I'll go to gp in the NY. Normal swab results so I guess its wtf cycle mark 2.

I'm not keeping up at the moment ladies but just piped on to send tracks a hug. I'll catch up soon.

Christ must use the bloody preview message function. Just popped on to give treacle a hug. I'll go now.
