RESPONSE trial thread

[Marchgirl]

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

pics obv don't work on this app choccy it was a pic of a piggy!!!just joking feed your face there's no better excuse!!x

Thanks, seems to have settled down though ive convinced myself the worst is imminent! Yep spoke to J and epu this morning. Not much can be done until either it gets heavier/crampy it stops! Just in linbo until tuesday. Sorry to moan, i know some of you ladies have much worse going on!

I think where were all the same boat it simply takes all the joy out of pregnancy, nothing but worrying and sympton spotting! Xx

Hi Joy, I am at the Anne as well. I'm not sure what yours is like, but I had brown mucusy discharge at six weeks. On a couple of occasions for two days I think. I thought that was it, but then it just stopped. I still where a pantie liner now! What is yours like?? Is it enough to mark a liner or is it when you wipe?

Stay positive, and hopefully it will subside. X

Louise,just the sack was seen on my scan. At least you saw more, which should be a positive for you.

Joy, glad to hear it's calmed down. Nether less still a pain x

This goody bag is driving me mad everytime I look at it I'm hoping for a period I know I'm not going to get for another 3-4 weeks! Why must our bodies do this to us! I'm also scared to do the deed this month incase I catch and they won't let me be part of trial as I didn't wait for one period after miscarriage.......I want to wait but I also want to keep our sex life happy so my dh doesn't feel used on the days I need him! Sorry if tmi....anyone else been in that situation? Hoping he will be as willing as me when needed! Xx

Sorry Joy, just re-read and see you said it seems to have settled. That's good news. Try and relax over the next few days, don't do anything to strenuous!
Your next scan will be hear before you know it.
I'm in Tuesday morning just for bloods and new syringes.

Hope you others are taking it easy too, next week will be here soon x

Fingers crossed for BFPs later on x

Lol Claire, thanks for that ;)

Gen, did you have to wait one cycle or was it just recommended?
I don't know about the waiting bit as we hadn't tried for a couple of months when we signed up to the trial so I don't know the ins and outs.
Great baggage though, I just got cheap shitty preg tests not CB!!

Joy glad the spotting has settled x

I asked if I had to wait a cycle and she said yes :(

I would have thought all packs where standard? I feel lucky already hahaha

How's pregnancy going choccy?

have you all got cb pregnancy tests?? I've got rubbish ones!!x

Claire, I got told recent recruits were getting cb pregnancy tests after a few complaints about the other ones x

hmm maybe I 'll get them next time I go in. hope so those other ones aren't the best x

Evening all :) I got cheap tests at first but my trial nurse told me from now on they're giving us clearblue ones, makes sense since the ov tests are that brand! X

Yeah, i thought it was a bit weird that the ov tests were cb but the hpt were crappy ones. Glad they've taken note, although I'm hoping it won't affect us philippa and claire, as we'll be getting our bfps this month

definitely makes sense to use cb ones. are they the ones that say pregnant or not pregnant do you know?
I really hope its our month March & philippa. typical I caught quickly last year with all 3 losses and now it's taking its time x

I haven't got any pregnancy tests yet. She's posting some then I'll pick the rest up. AF arrived today. Not sure if I'm relieved or not cos not certain I'd have been able to do the trial if I'd been caught.

Anyway... DH Has persuaded me to relax and let my hair down and have a night out after abstaining from alcohol for the last month. So Manchester here we come!!!

Like the positivity March!

Claire, I reckon that cause you've taken a bit longer this time, the next time will stick

Kazza enjoy the night out

Have fun in Manchester kazz. Af's arrival is always a blow, but at least it means you can definitely join the trial now

Trying to keep up the positivity for everyone. Feel like this is a lucky group

Have a great night out kazz!!!

I complained about the tests and I think size did too as they are quite shit lol! Glad they've got CB ones finally, makes sense since they give us the CB ov tests!!

All good here. Busy time. 16 weeks today, just listened to HB again :) 16 weeks appt on Monday.
Have friends around tonight, next weekend is dhs birthday so going to London for 2 nights/3 days and to see thriller :) My parents are taking ds to the seaside for 4 days/3 nights so he's mega excited too!
Then following weekend hopefully going on hols for 2 weeks (our last as a 3!!) get back and scan 2 days later!!
Been having a few wobbles lately as trying to get my head around us going from 3 to 4. I want this baby so so much of course I do, just been the 3 of us for almost 4 years and love our ds so much I'm scared of change :'(

Ah choccy, you've got a lovely few weeks lined up, you lucky thing.
I would love to see thriller, that will be amazing. Not jealous at all

We go to Spain in the 25th, to tell the inlaws the good news, I hope. But I am very very nervous. My last MC was the day after I arrived there, I was only just four weeks though. I will be 12 when we go. I'm going to get some of those attractive flight socks!!!

I can completely understand the 3 to 4 thing, it has been us three for seven years!! But I can not wait for my DD to find out she will be a big sis, she will be amazing.

I am 10 weeks on Monday, but today I am have a bit of niggly pain on my left side, to left of belly button and up a bit. Hoping it's just things setting in and growing etc. I know the amniotic sac etc is forming as the scan showed it, but just can't help worrying with every niggle. So I sent hubby and DD out to do the shopping!! Any excuse not to go myself.

How is everyone else doing??
Keeping everything crossed for BFPs and for everyone's re-scans xx

Ha ha! You shouldn't be too bad going to Spain. I was 13+4 wen we went to Dublin, was only 50 mins flight but I didn't even think about it affecting me this early lol!

Sorry meant to say congrats for almost 10 weeks!!!!!
When will you tell your dd? I bet she'll be so excited!!
We told ds after 10 weeks scan, bad move, he keeps saying Pips taking a looooooong time :)

Why why why why why did I let myself be persuaded into the night out?! Very very rough today! The benefit being I will have no problem not drinking again from now looking!!!!

I've never really considered the impact of flying on pregnancy. What are the risks? I fly a lot. I'm a teacher and if I don't get on a plane somewhere during each school.
holiday I feel cheated!!! It's also what keeps us going during the last twelve months of utter crap (along with the 3mcs my mother IL has also had 2 strikes which has pretty much destroyed the person she was) and I wouldn't really want to give up our travels as I find them very stress relieving. Obviously would do if we had to though

From now on that should say

That's reassuring that you went away at 13weeks.

I want to tell brother and dad, before we go away. Inlaws whilst there. Then poss DD whilst there. Then I can come back knowing everyone important knows, and I can go public at work once back.

My DD will be ABOSOLUTELY made up. For a few years now she has mentioned a brother or sister on and off. She has saved a couple of her baby toys for when we have one. We haven't even mentioned having a baby.
She even said early last year, that when I have a baby out my tummy, she will go to Grandads whilst I have a baby. She thinks my belly button piercing scar is where the doctors took her out my tummy. Sooo cute.

Awwww it'll be so amazing when you get to tell everyone esp dd.

Sorry kazz, I thought it was tonight you were out. Sorry you're feeling so rough!!
