Thanks. I don't mind the injections I am used to them as had heperin injections in the past just to see if it would help but never did.

clairemorgan81 · 12/06/2015 18:12

yeah they have to be done day 21 so that stupid doctor wasted your time I think. what a cheek.
I have asked again so hopefully they will to shut me up. I'm sure something causing it, surely if hormone related after m/c it would be gone by now as last m/c was end of Dec x

Choccywoccydodah · 12/06/2015 19:06

March so sorry you're red spotting (I'll say a quiet yay for now). Fingers tightly crossed for you. Prof brosens is lovely, I saw him after number 6 and offered nk test. He also did my 8 week scan on this one Smile

Cowgirl so sorry you're here, and for all your losses. Really really hope this is it for you!!! I've had 8 consecutive losses and that was a total head fuck, I gave up until I was told about the trial and had one last go (21 weeks tomorrow!!), you must have been extremely strong to get here!!

Claire still hope for you my lovely!

Joy so pleased you've got here. The 'time' is such a scary thing. Praying all ok in there. I assume you'll get extra scans with twins?

What's your weekend plans??
Lazy one here, haven't seen ds all week!! Only in the evenings.
Had a massage this afternoon however and fell asleep on the table!! Blush

clairemorgan81 · 13/06/2015 08:35

how was test this morning March x

Cowgirl0802 · 13/06/2015 10:35

Thanks choccy I guess my son keeps me strong. I have always taught him to never give up so I guess I need to do the same. He really was a blessing he was born on the same day as me and my husband (8th feb) just hoping for another miracle as this pregnacy would also be due in feb. Smile

Indiedog · 13/06/2015 11:15

Ah cowgirl, it is a funny of world, how things happen. Feb is obviously a good month for you.
How far along are you? Did you say you were randomised a week or so ago?

Cowgirl0802 · 13/06/2015 12:30

I am 5 weeks so only early. Got the first scan next Friday just taking everyday as it comes. I have had the worst lower back pain ever though but everything else seems good x

Line was a bit darker this morning claire (still ridiculously faint but at least visible to another human today) so I've started on the pred and upped the progesterone. More bleeding this morning though. So got my lucky socks on and everything is crossed. Just have to wait and see. Anything for you (or af?)

clairemorgan81 · 13/06/2015 13:28

I've my fingers well and truly crossed for you March. why can't things just be easy for you.
what's your plan then- do you have to notify anyone?

nothing here just red/brown spotting x

Kazz2112 · 13/06/2015 15:59

Finfers crossed for the lucky socks March.

Me and DH have just met up with his best friend to watch a cricket match. Don't think he expected me to be here and there was a bit of a strange conversation about where his wife is. DH reckons he has a baby bomb to drop on us. :( honestly not sure how id deal with that atm. They already have 2 girls. Selfish of me but its so unfair

Marchgirl · 13/06/2015 16:39

Sorry nothing is happening for you today claire Sad. And sorry about the potential baby bomb kazz. Hopefully next cycle will be the one for you both. This ttc thing is just crap. I hate it! A world away from how dd happened. Feel so lucky but a bit guilty that I had such a naïve pg with her.

OP posts:
Kazz2112 · 13/06/2015 17:32

Got another 6 days before I start opk testing again I think. If it's the same as last month smiley time is a week on Tuesday. Hope it's not late because DH is going away the weekend after (so am I but he's going abroad so that's the bigger problem!)

I think that'll be the weekend the baby bomb will be dropped if he's right

clairemorgan81 · 13/06/2015 19:05

it's so hard when people announce their pregnancies kazz , I hate how it makes me feel. Hope your okay.

I'm with you March, ttc is a right head f* I'm on a right downer with it all. I'm so fed up.
I really feel for you, hows bleeding?x

Marchgirl · 13/06/2015 19:20

I'm sorry claire, I know how hard it is to hear Sad.
Bleeding had tailed off a bit so going to try and stay positive. Doing everything I can so just got to hope now.

clairemorgan81 · 13/06/2015 20:36

oh I did not mean you March, not for a minute. I'm honestly so pleased for you ladies on here. yous deserve it more than anyone.
pleased bleeding has tailed off a bit, there's a good chance its implantation so take it easy and let's keep our fingers/toes/everything crossed its a sticky one xx

Thanks claire, i know you didn't mean me, but i also know it still bloody hurts, even if it's someone you are happy for. Anyway, it's looking like I might be joining you again next month. Line is no darker this morning, possibly even a bit fainter. I think it'll be away by tomorrow.

OP posts:
clairemorgan81 · 14/06/2015 09:11

Oh March you never know, I'm sorry your going through this it must be awful for you x

Kazz2112 · 14/06/2015 12:18

Oh March that sounds so frustrating. I obviously didn't mean you too. I hope you get a clear answer soon one way or the other and obviously really hopeople that it's good news. Hang in there!

I often find it depends on the announcer how it effects me. 2 colleagues got pregnant just after my first mc. One in a loving relationship after being with an awful bloke for a few years and I was over the moon for her. The other - a girl who had gotten pregnant to 'heal' her relationship with her husband after she'd been caught cheating. It just feels so unfair!

Choccywoccydodah · 15/06/2015 08:18

How's things this morning March?
Claire any change?

clairemorgan81 · 15/06/2015 08:37

How's bleeding/have you tested again march?
still spotting and bfn for me af due tomorrow or wed x

Miscarriage no 5 (chemical). Test virtually blank this morning and started bleeding in earnest. Meds stopped now so just waiting for the horrendous hormone crash Sad

clairemorgan81 · 15/06/2015 09:26

I'm so very sorry March how disappointing and harsh. Hope your being looked after big big hugs x

philippa88 · 15/06/2015 10:01

So sorry to hear this march, thinking of you xx

sizethree · 15/06/2015 13:16

Fucks sake March, it's just so inexplicabley unfair. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I really hope you're getting looked after well by your DP and HCP.
Sorry all for being a bit quiet on the thread, I've been reading but not feeling up for contributing.
Still massively anxious but feel silly as I'm having a much easier time of things than many of you. I just wish I could curb this deep down worry that something is wrong.
I have my 20 week scan on Thursday morning and can barely function this week for fear.
I hope I'm not being insensitive, I know I'm very fortunate to have reached this far in pregnancy, but the same fears I had in early pregnancy are still very much with me.

Marchgirl · 15/06/2015 13:37

The fear is completely understandable after what you've been through size. Don't feel silly or bad, it's what we're here for. Hand holding for Thursday. Hopefully after that you will feel able to relax a little bit more. Will you find out the sex?

Unfortunately the consultant has been fecking useless again (i think you have the same one, so you might appreciate the frustration). She's still not replied to the letter and follow up email sent by my gp 2 weeks ago to ask about her opinion on the steroids. She's already told me she doesn't support the protocol so I didn't hold out much hope but not even replying to the gp is just rude! But then, it took her weeks to get back to me last time I was mcing and asked advice, so don't know why I expected any more
