MC avengers, still eating cake, 2008 WILL BE OUR YEAR!

[ronshar]

Hey ladies I have been brave and started new thread.
Aquababe will not have to look at her thread opener again.

had a bit of a crazy day yesterday was my birthday but had a scary incident with dd. found dd with her nail scissors stick of the top of one of her fingers, loads of blood, after 2mc's and you think I'd be good with stuff like that, but I'm soo not. Then after going out for dinner, she spent all night puking on every bit of sleeping stuff we possess. On the plus side all this has taken my mind of my scan today (Oh Kate I'm thanking god for the sunny windy morning)
Didn't have any amount of bleeding yesterday so am really hoping they don't find any leftovers (dec mc was natural and they figured it had all come out as was testing negative). Hopefully will get the all fine on fibroid too.

woose got my fingers crossed for you and hoping friday brings good news

fandango know how you feel I ended up crying over the phone to the doctors receptionist when she asked me my name.

Fingers crossed for Woose and Kate
Sorry you had such an awful day Fandango, and Verso, sending some homemade cake your way too

kate2179 I hope that the test results tonight will put you out of your misery, it's so hard for us women, when we know things are wrong but officials keep us waiting. Why can't they see that the waiting is so agonising. If the results are what you suspect, I truly hope that the next few weeks are not too hard for you. I pray that the chemical that the Doctors are looking for in your blood test results have gone up, and that the rest of your pregnacy goes fine.You sound like a strong cookie, if the results are not good then I hope that the Doctors stand up and listen to you when you attempt to get a referral. No woman should have to pay out of their own pocket, it's disgusting, good look kate and keep your chin up hun xxx

Kate Sorry to hear you're still in limbo and waiting for more results. You must be climbing the walls, desperate to know one way or the other, and I can't believe how calm you seem in your post. Thinking of you at the moment.
Aquababe good luck with your scan and hope your DD has made a full recovery after yesterday.
Hello to everybody else.

aquababe I hope that your scan gives you the 'all clear' so you can move forward and enjoy the rest of you life xx
woose thinking of you too hun xx
cricri {{{{{{{waves}}}}}}} to my new CB from another thread xx

Hi Emmsy, how are you doing today?

hi cricri, I am feeling a lot better than I was feeling on Monday. I think the AD's are starting to work (even though the doc said it would probably take a few weeks) I don't seem to be shouting at the children as much! now I'm listening to my DH shouting instead! I'm starting to think he needs something to calm him down!
seriously though, I do feel alot calmer and definately not as paranoid about everything.My mind is not running away with it self. I do feel a little trembly inside, and sometimes feel as though my heart is beating a little faster than it should,but there is definately an improvement. I am a little worried that the weight will pile on now, I'm only approx 5'2" or 5'3" and am already overweight, not obese though christmas didn't help though, I only have to look at food and it jumps on my thighs! thank you for asking hun xx

Glad you're feeling better Emmsy, that's good news. If you think you're suffering side effects from the ADs (palpitations etc) then you could maybe ask the Dr to change them. Hopefully you won't need them for very long though. Look after yourself. xx

kate2179 Unfortunately I am certain of my dates, so I may have the same experience as you. Last time the mc I had was a natural one, but if I have no bleeding and things have stopped growing then what will happen? Will they just leave things, or will I have to have an operation?

Emmsy I have been on and off AD for years and I have never put on weight with them. I suppose that it may depend on which ones you get, but it may be that you don't put on any weight with them. I found that they worked straight away, but then that could just be a psychological thing. I remember I was worried that being on AD when pregnant would harm my baby when I was pregnant, but everything was fine, I was only on a really small dose for a short space of time though.

Aquababe Hope DD ok now
Fandango How are you feeling today?

I have another question. Do you think if things had stopped growing, then I would still be getting pregnancy symptoms? It does seem that sickness is getting a bit worse, that must be a good sign, mustn't it?

Hi Kate, I am so sorry this is such a long drawn out process for you. Hang in there girl.

Fingers crossed and a big hello for everyone else.

xx

Fingers crossed to everyone who is waiting for scans or test results, Kate, Aquababe, Woose, and anyone else I've forgotton.
How's your dd now Aquababe? The scissor incident sounds scary I remember when dd1 put a button up her nose and we had to go to A&E, that was bad enough.

woose it is definately a good sign if your sickness is getting worse, fingers crossed for you hun xx
Also thanks, for sharing your experience of AD's, I have been worrying about trying to conceive while taking AD's (as well as worrying about my weight!) you have helped ease my mind. By the way the Ad's I have been prescribed is Fluoxetine 20mg (prozac) and I have no intention of staying on them too long If I become pregnant, I will try to stop them straight away
kate how are you today, any news? I am thinking of you xx

Emmsy1 I was on Citalopram for a while a year or so ago. They really did the trick. Unfortunately I did put on a lot of weight (even though the GP assured me I wouldn't) which is annoying - but it's still better than having the terrible depression/anxiety I was experiencing. Hope the prozac does the trick for you. (By the way I've heard it tends to have the opposite effect and a lot of people lose weight on it.)

Quick msg from me to say I tested this morning and BFN . More upset than I thought I would be, especially as I kind-of expected it. No AF as yet, but I daresay that will be later today.

Hope everyone else is ok.

verso thanks for your comments, I've decided that your right, it doesn't matter if I put on a bit of weight I can always run it off when I stop the AD's

what CD are you on verso? was your temp still low this morning? I was thinking of an implantation dip, It still may be a little too early to detect the levels of HCG? (fingers crossed for you xx)

quick hello Verso sorry about the test.
woose fingers crossed

all of you waiting for tests best of luck

how many of you have PCOS? I was diagnosed in my early 20's and have lived with depression ever since with good and bad periods. not been on AD since then had a bad period with awful clinical depression, but now I try to manage with diet and exercise.
it has not been so bad

take care all

Kate - hope your OK today sorry you still have to wait

Woose - I hate to type this but don't you want you to get any false hopes, my baby stopped growing at 5 wks (basically when I found out I was pregnant!) I continued having symptoms, sickness, sore boobs, tiredness etc until we found out at an early scan at 8wks, unfortunately with a missed m/c you may still get symptoms. I was really angry coz it meant my body had faked me the whole time In fact I still had sore (.)(.) until 2 days after the ERPC, this is coz your are still producing hormones. Hopefully this wont' be the case for you hun, I'll keep everything crossed for you.
Verso sorry about your BFN
How about some chocolate brownies for everyone today, would that help?

Like Verso. I was on Citalopram for quite a long time, maybe up to 2 years. Then when I got pregnant they suggested I cut down very slowly and then stop. After this I did not feel depressed throughout the whole of the pregnancy. Now it just comes every now and again, but I also try to do exercise which helps.

Molliemooma I know I must not get my hopes u because then it makes it worse when things do go wrong. I can totally understand why you felt angry with your body for tricking you into thinking things were going ok. I know I will feel the same way too.

Very boring day today. My DS wont go down for a nap which I find so frustrating because it means I can't tidy the house or have a rest because he is so demanding. I feel exhausted and fed up, chocolate brownie sounds like a good idea. xx

hi everyone i have been lurking around for quite some time and i guess i should say thanks to everyone for keeping my spirits up even though you didnt know i was even here if that makes sense.

have just posted on the pregnancy after miscarriage board but think i may have been jumping the gun. short history - had a mmc on 2 nov 07 at 10 weeks . have 1 dd. and got a BFP on friday (same as ronshar and woose!). now (today) bleeding bright red spots and panicking and feeling very much like my name suggests. 6 wk (sanity) scan not due till next thurs - who knows if there will be anything to scan at that point.

anyway i needed to let this out as havent told anyone in RL yet except dh and going slowly insane...

ps started feeling sick today, but i was really sick with my mmc last time and the sickness got worse with each day but there was no bleeding then...(sorry woose hope this doesnt bring you down, but i think everyone's pg is different so may not mean anything in your case - keeping fingers crossed for you..)

hello everyone,

I am still lurking despite my month off ttc to concieve following the infections and Abs.

Hello bunny, I don't know the answer but I am sure soemone who ahs had similar experiences will be along soon.

I wanted to ask a quick question. I am ovulating today and had a pink/brown tinge to my cm. This is not normal for me? Is this OK or should I see the doc about it?

Hi Bunny

Welcome to the thread. As far as I am aware bleeding doesn't ALWAYS mean bad news, so I hope you get good news when you get it checked out.

H
xx

Actually, I have a question too. No probs if you no one knows....

I had my follow up scan yesterday after mcing (naturally) about 2.5 weeks ago. A preg test showed a faint positive and it turns out that there is a small piece of tissue from the pregnancy remaining in my uterus.

Doc first suggested an ERPC but I really don't want one. I was checked for infection and there is none, so I requested that I let it pass naturally. Has anyone else experienced this?

I presume that it will have to disappear before my AF returns as it is generating hcg, although the doc said it will come out when I have my next period which I thought was a bit wierd.

so dd ok only one more sick episode after i posted. her finger still makes me go weak at the knees when i see it

got the all clear from scan fibroid is still pee sized so it hasn't grown and shouldn't affect fertility.
they noticed i still have a cyst on my right ovary but apparently this is kind of normal as they come and go with periods (i think they are just covering their backs)

no idea why I'm still bleeding (sods law i stopped the day before scan though I'm definitely due on in the next day or so.) at least i now know that there's no more stuff left in there.
so now no medical reason as to why I can't start ttc next cycle

just the emotional ones

bunny hope the bleeding stops don't forget it isn't always the worst.
woose and kate thinking of you the not knowing for certain is the worst

scully i sooo know we are going to get a button-up-nose incident. Seems she'd climbed up the shelves to get the scissors

Hi bunny I know you must be feeling awful. It is the waiting that makes it worse. Not knowing either way. I sort of feel that if I knew something, even bad news I could get on with things and decide what I want to do next and if I am ok to carry on ttc. My scan is next Friday, so we will both be waiting together. I know I need to expect that it may not be good news next week. It does not make sense to me about all this sickness even when things are not developing.

aquababe Good news that fibroid has not got bigger, and that it wont affect fertility. Hope next cycle you can start ttc again.

Hackney Sorry I don't know what the answer is to your question, but maybe someone else out there does.

Still bored, but DH giving DS a bath, am meant to be tidying the house and getting dinner ready, but I am not (hee hee) xx

hackney - that was what happened with me had a little left over and was told it would come out with following AF at the latest(did not test)
