Sorry to hear your news @EllieJaye ❤️

rubyroot · 12/06/2019 22:27

@EllieJaye please let us know how you get on tomorrow.

Unfortunately it hasn’t ended well for me- full on bleed today (about five weeks)

I’m hoping there’s some good eggs in there, so I’m not giving up quite yet.

I seem to be able to conceive without a problem, but my eggs don’t seem to be any good. Wonder why my body keeps allowing then to implant?!

Russkispy · 12/06/2019 22:38

@rubyroot sorry to read your news. Look after yourself ThanksThanksThanks

@rubyroot I'm so sorry to hear your news ☹️

Afm AF is imminent ☹️.on the plus side I can drink on holiday next week 😀 every cloud and all that!

I'm going to give it until the end of the summer and if nowt is happening by then I'm out as Deborah meadan would say. I'll have given it a good shot but I'll accept that it wasn't meant to be and make peace with it

Fingers crossed for everyone still in with a chance this month and for our pregnant ladies

karryk · 13/06/2019 08:20

So sorry @rubyroot Flowers I know what you mean - I seem to get pregnant fairly swiftly but I must have more than my share of dodgy eggs! Wishing you lots of love over the next few weeks and much baby dust in the coming months xxx

I've got my scan at 11am.... Slightly petrified Blush argh....

MaryShelley1818 · 13/06/2019 08:56

So sorry to hear that Ruby xx

Good luck for today Karry! Xx

I found out yesterday that I was successful at my interview so now just have to attend the University Assessment day in July 😊

twinkledag · 13/06/2019 09:29

Good luck @karryk

I'm sorry to read your news @rubyroot

rubyroot · 13/06/2019 10:02

@karryk

The very best of luck karry. Hope it goes well. x

karryk · 13/06/2019 14:56

Some good news....bub is still very much there...phew. Measuring 9w2d. Now fingers and toes crossed for the next milestone - definitely not taking anything for granted but just for tonight I can sort of relax Brew

Russkispy · 13/06/2019 15:03

@karryk great news! Phew!! When is your next scan?!

MaryShelley1818 · 13/06/2019 15:23

Fantastic news Karry, keeping everything crossed for a lovely healthy pregnancy for you xx

rubyroot · 13/06/2019 15:43

Great stuff @karryk after a heartbeat at this stage chances of miscarriage drastically reduce. Was this a reassurance scan before your 12 week one?

karryk · 13/06/2019 15:53

Thank you @Russkispy @MaryShelley1818 @rubyroot Flowers

Yes, because I had some spotting between weeks 5-7 and my history of early losses, they did a scan at 7ish weeks and this one at 9 weeks. Now I have to wait until 3 Jul for the first 'official' scan. Hopefully bub will grow happily and still be there 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

EllieJaye · 13/06/2019 16:01

@rubyroot really sorry to hear your news. I'm in the same position so 100% know some of what you're feeling

EllieJaye · 13/06/2019 16:02

@karryk really pleased to hear your scan went well, hope you can breathe a teeny bit easier now

EllieJaye · 13/06/2019 16:12

Sad but expected update from me

Started bleeding (brown) last night. Full on bleeding today (Red)

Went for hcg checking again anyway this morning.

This afternoon based on hcg levels over 48hrs and my cramps and bleeding the doctor has basically confirmed I'm having my third miscarriage.

Still feeling rather numb about the whole thing. I had prepared myself for this outcome over the last week or two. I'm glad now I chose to stay away from the hospital and scans at this point, I found that very difficult last time and if it makes sense, I'm kind of dealing with this on a more factual basis, the numbers aren't stacking up kind of thing. Whatever gets you through it I guess.

Generally feeling pretty crap, not unlike whilst suffering a heavy period. Will evaluate how I feel once this part is over. Husband is already saying he thinks its time to stop. I cant think about that right now its too soon

MaryShelley1818 · 13/06/2019 16:19

Oh Ellie I’m so very sorry. Life can be very unfair xx

twinkledag · 13/06/2019 16:21

I'm sorry @EllieJaye, be kind to yourself x

Kimm123 · 13/06/2019 16:47

Hi so sad to hear the sad news @Ellie...
Just to ask any of you ladies taking supplements to concieve?? If so which are the good ones?? xx

Chatbash72 · 13/06/2019 16:53

Ooh @EllieJaye and @rubyroot sending lots of love.. take care of yourselves... rest, hot water bottles and paracetamol..
good need on job interview @MaryShelley1818
lovely to hear a heartbeat.. @karryk
To all you lovely ladies with AF looming, in tww or those getting busy 😉 sending lots of love and baby dust.. atm still in the low rumbling migraine zone, dr tried to start banging on about when my mother went through the menopause, I shot a hole into her unspoken attitude by saying she had an emergency hysterectomy after the birth of her 3rd child.. so not relevant.. and my sister and I have both had children after that age. A bull shit theory in my opinion, we are not our mothers. Off my soapbox 🤣 and in ov zone so keeping myself busy exhausting the hubby. Good luck ladies xxx

karryk · 13/06/2019 17:05

Sending lots of love @EllieJaye ❤️❤️ as your say, whatever gets you through. Take care of yourself. I found it was best (for me) to go with the flow - some days I felt okay, some days I wanted to hide in the house or lay low. Whatever works ❤️❤️ xx
