All about us ~ MC'ing or MC'ed or TTC after MC or just loves cakes!

[katendmom]

Ok, girls, our last thread did get crazy long so I am starting this one. If you don't like the name - well... too bad You'll get used to it over time .

ILTC, hi there sista! I feel like we're SO alike. Can you believe that my bleeding started again today? I was quite . And out of all places it started in a zoo when we were watching little sheep at the "petting zoo" section with DS and DH. Grrreat!~ Hope you're feeling better and this mess if over soon for all of us .

Rosybelle, hi there~ [sends a wave] Com'on over - sorry you're here but it's easier to get through things together. If you read my previous posts you know what I have to say - ERPC (or D&C) all the way. Good luck!

Scully, hi... you sound like me... actually my DH who is very much doubting TCC'ing again. And that's just after one MC! Well... we did have a stillborn DD1 but went on to have a beautiful DS. What would have happened if we got scared back then and didn't do it. Ooops, promised not to talk about it until mid-Oct. That's when my MC blood/ tissue results are back from the lab to tell us what was wrong with the baby. We agreed we wouldn't make any decisions until we find out.

Cricri, I know you won't be chechking this thread until later but hope your weekend in Holland is fab!

Hugs and smooches to all!

kettners!!! oh you're so lucky. is it still kitschy as hell? flosspot i miss london . . . (i noticed your copenhagen pic btw. odd (but nice, i think) place to honeymoon)

spooky - sorry for your BFN. I feel the same, its shite. I did so many tests this month (because i am a dimwit) and just kept feeling worse. but its okay, it will happen soon, it will.

i read somewhere yesterday that 50% of fertilsed eggs don't implant, could that be true? it means that it really is a total crap shoot . . .

also read that mc after 10wks are not genetic/chromosomal but something to do with the mum? (was on a mn thread) - that is not true is it???

Hey flosspot! Course you are? But what is kettners?

Just reading back - sorry for your loss aquababe x

Well I feel like crap right now. I just went to the toilet and had some pink cm. I'm feeling so miserable right now. Losing a baby at any stage is hard but I do believe this will be easier than the other times as I'm only 5 1/2 weeks.

G43- fingers crossed for you....(why is there no emoticon for that??)

Kettners- very swish Champagne bar for the uninitiated! Am so pretentious...

Tjiuce- Copenhagen was first anniversary trip....we went to Chile for our honeymoon. We got married Feb 2006.

GF3, honey, wait? just wait? I don?t want to repeat what?s been said a 1,000 times on MN but you KNOW not all spotting results in a loss. Are you feeling anything else? Physically I mean.

aquababe you?re so strong and what a beautiful way to say good-bye to your little one. And as catholic ? you know that it was just that God needed an angel, right? All set now ~ smile. You?re doing great ? stay focused on your little one, it should help to heal a bit? and of course ? keep posting with us.

TJuice my doc actually said that a % of mc is due to a woman not being able to sustain pg due to low levels of progesterone. It is NOT a big deal IF it is detected. What happens then is that with the next pg, from very early on, a woman is put on progesterone supplements. As far as the 10 wks cut off ? that isn?t right, I don?t think. We lost DD1 to chromo disorder at 35 wks (SORRY! I know it won?t happen with any one of you! I drew the shortest straw for all of us!)

Hello All

GF3 - could just be implantation - hang in there - with DD I was 5.5wks and on holiday in Greece - lost a little red blood and what looked like a small clot. Then nothing & she was fine....

Jules - thank you - yes IVF v stressful but am pleased its all over - and now am just here for the cake

Aquababe - your way of saying goodbye was lovely - my nephew & wife lost a baby at 16 weeks - and the doctor said "would you like to see it or shall I dispose of the tissue" - at 16 weeks!! They took some photos & a hand print and had a small ceremony & service.

Ilts & Kat - good you've got your -tive tests - now you can ttc properly - or at least think about it.... and battered sausage

Hi to everyone I've missed xx

Sorry x post Jules - well its good news there are no chromosome abnormalities but I know this is of no comfort when they don't know why it happened... Were your previous mc at the same time?
We have been referred to a recurrent mc consultant now and both my babies were lost at 7 weeks (1st one found out at 11 wks - 2nd one found out at 7 wks) - and I know with the 2nd one we had a HB at 6 wks... so something happens to me at 7 wks... but what?

I hope this means that next time for you everything will be fine xx

Hello everyone.

Aquababe sorry that you have had to join this thread. I have not been on here long myself but have found some comfort in being able to talk to people that are going through the same thing. Your family and friends sound really supportive in helping you say goodbye to your lo. I have found alot of people I know are afraid of saying the wrong thing so avoid you altogether.Take care.

Katendmom reading on here what you are going through has made me give myself a big kick up the backside to stop feeling sorry for myself.

Rosybelle Ronshar Splish I think when god made men he made a mistake with their emotional wiring!

evening all

Aquababe so sorry for your loss. I lost my baby at 9 weeks in Sept. They advised us to wait until the bleeding stopped before sex because of the risk of infection, like you I just wanted the closeness so it was hard not having that. Once the bleeding stopped we started ttc again. Hope you're OK this evening, big hugs.

So many posts to catch up on am still doing so, just wanted to ask when are we off to Kettners? Love that place, posh champagne bar Pizza Express fabby fab fab!

Jules good news about no chromosomal abnormalities but feel so sad for you for the way you are feeling tonight. I hope so much that next time it will all be OK.

jules - ty for your message sometimes I feel really bad as I already have 2 beautiful DDs and sometimes I think I'm pushing my luck asking for another, I don't know how you ladies that have recurrent mc do it, you are all so strong and brave. Good news in a way that they haven't detected any chromosome abnormality you just have to keep trying hard I know but your little man or lady is out there waiting for you I really believe that x

G43 - hang on in there you know theres so many people have bleeds in pregnancy (I am one, big red bleed at 9 weeks, smaller one at 10 weeks with DD1) whens you first scan?

ILTS and Kat - glad you got your BFNs time to ttc now, although are you going to Kat I know the docs have not recommended it??? Come and join us on the TTC October board x

Rosy - I have a friend who went through IVF said it was horrendous never again so you have been so strong for it and of course stick around we would really miss you now.

hello to anyone else I have missed out, I've had a hard day today but I am waiting for Af to turn up tomorrow so we can have a new CD1.

DUSTIN hun, it's all in comparison. I come out as the queen of crap unless you read a post from somebody who is not able to have children at all... or lost a baby who was 2 years old... or who has a baby who's fighting cancer... and then I come out as a major lottery winner. So aaaall in perspective, sister But thanks - made me feel like a damn hero for a second!

Girls, my doc told me that women who mc before ... I think he said 10 wks? ... don't remember if it was 10wks or earlier... SORRY... but anyway, women who mc early in 1st trimester and neither baby nor DW (huh! dear wife ) nor DH have chromo issues - then it is VERY probable that the woman doesn't produce enough progesteron to sustain the pg. He said it is VERY easy to manage as long as you properly diagnose it. ALSO look at your blood clotting factor. If your blood clots quicker/ more (don't know what the proper term is) - that could lead to mc too. Still VERY easy to manage if diagnosed - low dose of Asprin and you're going across the finish line with flying colors and a pacifier in a pocket!

Look into that!

Jules thanks for asking. I'm alright ... kinda feel yuckie about going to a genetics counselor and having more tests done... but hey... maybe they will find nothing wrong with us? Wow... that'll be awesome cuz we can go back to TTC

i have the feeling i am gaining a nickname.....

battered sausage formally known as ILTS

jules that is fantastic news about the results, obviously not about baby david and his sisters but still gives alot of hope

i like the theory about the placenta as if there was a problem with mine she could have been starved of oxygen and been brain damaged etc

have the docs said anything about your blood clotting? as someone i knew had to take asprin everyday to thin it out??? and have an injection evryday....she went on to have a healthy baby after 14 m/c!!! i personally wouldnt put myself through that but she got her wish by never giving p

should start reading posts sowwee kate x x

ILTS, our posts x'ed. WOW we even THINK alike?

so they did lol how freaky is that!!!

I'm used to you by now! LOL What was really freaky is that I was craving a battered sausage... and then I was like hmmm , my (.)(.) feel bigger and tighter... could I be?

THEN... drum roll please I stepped on a scale and OH MY GOD! I have gained 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks eating comfort food!

NOW I am crashed! LOL

Sorry, I do tend to pop in and out a little. I spend more time reading than posting some days, especially when feeling a bit down or tired. Hope everyone is doing okay.

A question regarding progesterone. When I asked the GP about getting my progesterone level checked next time I get pregnant, he was puzzled. He said it's not commonly done, as there's really nothing they can do about it anyway. Shouldn't they be able to give supplements?? He flatly denies that this is an option. I don't really think it's a problem with me, but obviously don't know for certain as they won't test it anyway if I get pregnant. Anyone else come across this? Or is this normal?

lmfao so many battered sausages!! i love it

we need to change thred title!

All about us ~ MC'ing or MC'ed or TTC after MC or just loves cakes and anyone who fancies a battered sausage! lol

or

100 great things about.......battered sausage

or theres something about battered sausage

i could go on

I think doctors are divided about progesterone. Some say that low levels of progesterone are a sign of a failing pregnancy, not a cause, so won't give supplements. Though as extra prog is not harmful, I don't see why not, if there's any way it could help.

Hellooooo.
I love champagne so count me in. We could have strawberries and pretend it is on a cake!
I have been dancing like a crazy fool with dd2. What fun.
AF should be here today, no sign yet! NO usual premenstrual symptoms either.

I do have a confession to make.
I know I said I wouldnt test until at least today. Well I couldnt wait. I tested on Tuesday. BFN.
I dont know why I bother. Maybe I just like to torture myself.
2 days to EDD.
I just want to have a baby! Is that too much I ask.

Hello everyone. I love champagne too And we are so worth it donchathink Had to go to my granny's funeral in Ireland yesterday. It was very sad but a great funeral if that makes sense. Lots of positive vibes etc. I'm sure she would have approved anyway

Not pregnant this month. Period is starting. Hoping for a July baby. That would be rather nice.

Jules - good news about the chromosome tests coming back normal but when you've had a few m/c you want answers don't you. Personally I think hormonal imbalances are responsible for m/c a lot of the time.
