RESPONSE trial thread

[Marchgirl]

For anyone who had joined or is thinking of joining the RESPONSE medical trial for recurrent miscarriage

I keep my appointments on their em eloped on the top shelf of the fridge. They don't seem as scary in there!
Sorry about that test result Claire. It's good you're being monitored.
Heard 2 pregnancy announcements from friends tonight. One utterly unplanned (my favourite kind of course - so flippin easy to breeze through!) and one who's pretty much a honeymoon baby. Argh, I'm trying to be happy for them but it's just so easy for some people. And that statistic of one in four pregnancies ending in miscarriage doesn't seem to apply to my friend group. I must be taking quite a few for the team. Obviously I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but it's quite a struggle to deal with gushing tactless friends.
Anyway, I must stop comparing. Everyone has different routes to parenthood.

Sorry about the baby bomb size. So hard to hear these things. Won't be long til you have yours now though x

claire, how absolutely awful about your friend. Can't even imagine how hard it must be when your baby dies after you have already met it. Puts things in perspective. Also sorry to hear you had some abnormal test results. I'm not really sure what that result means for you long term but hopefully if your consultant isn't too concerned then it will be ok. And finally sorry af got you . You really did have a crap day. I've just done a final test and still bfn so i can't kid myself anymore. So I'll stop the progesterone today and let af arrive.

sorry about bfn March. its shit. hope your okay.
it's so devastating for my friend, baby rose would have been due next week and instead she might be burying her. tragic.
puts things into perspective.
I would have had a due date coming up next week too
sorry I'm such a grump hope I'm not depressing everyone.
enjoy your weekend ladies x

Claire I'm do sorry. I don't know how I overlord that post. It's so tragic. Your poor friend. I can't even begin to imagine just how difficult that must be for her. Life is such a bastard sometimes. So cripplingly unfair.

Claire absolutely gutted for your friend, such a long way they've come. They must be absolutely devastated :'(

Re scans, we get at 10 week at Cov but it's not routine. They just like to keep our minds more at ease.
I had 2 '12' weeks scans as you get your trial one and then your proper dating/nt if required one. I think size combined hers though.
My second one was 13+3 so it was nice to see him/her again :)

hand holding for due date next week claire. I also have one next Thursday. Had pinned all my hopes on a bfp this week so it didn't seem so bad.

That's absolutely heartbreaking Claire. Don't know how you move on from that. What we've all been through has been horrendous but that is on another level of grief. Thinking of you and your friend and hope you've got lots of people to help support you both and give you the strength you need. Especially your friend.

I would've been due on Thursday. That would've been my second dd. In my mind I should be holding a 6 month baby by now from pregnancy 1... instead I'm knee deep in exam papers. Sadly it was this time last year I was marking exam papers like crazy planning on what pram the money was going to be spent on. in about 10 days it'll be 12months from mc1.

This year the money I get will either be buying me a gorgeous pram... or a pair of appallingly expensive designer shoes!!! Obviously would prefer the first!!!! must think positive!

thanks for your kind words ladies.

hand holding for anyone with due dates around now. its such a difficult time x

So ladies, I just peed on a stick and got this... X

For those who are pregnant what kind of pg symptons are you having?
Ive literally got none apart from sore boobs!
Was really tired and angry for a week but thats gone now :s xxx

Wow. That's early. Which one is the trial test?

The top one is the trial test, second one a First Response.
I don't really have any symptoms, tired but that's nothing new! C

Can't beat a first teaponse test! I've got some on standby for use hopefully in the not too distant future!
