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

Cece Also thinking of you and your family today. The post from Jules was beautiful and touching and I hope you can draw some comfort from the fact that we're all thinking of you. xx

cece · 06/02/2008 12:21

Hi I am back.

Thanks everyone for your messages - especially jules.

The service was lovely, done by the hospital chaplain. Four tiny white coffins (there were four babies and their parents). In a strange way I feel better now that we have said a proper good bye.

They each had a little silver chrome plate on the coffins with the baby's name on... I wasn't expecting that and thought it was lovely.

DH seems low and has gone back to bed though

ronshar · 06/02/2008 12:39

Cece. I am thinking of you and your DH. I would like to think that having the opportunity to say goodbye to little baby Hope will give you some peace. Take time to look after yourself, go and get into bed with DH. You both need some TLC. You are so very strong. You put me to shame when I think how much you have both been through.

Jules, what lovely touching words, also made me cry.

scully · 07/02/2008 00:47

Cece, thinking of you and your dh, can't imagine what that was like, to experience. Lovely post Jules.

MollieMooma · 07/02/2008 10:30

CeCe-how are you both feeling today hun? So glad you sound more at peace now and had some kind of closure.
Kate - I am amazed haven't logged on a for a few days as off work and been busy and was astounded at your post! So pleased for you like you said what a rollercoaster of emotion to go through but what a fantastic time for you and your dh.

hello ladies, im back .

cece, thinking of you my love x

MollieMooma · 07/02/2008 16:46

Lissielou - does that mean what I think it means?

sfxmum · 07/02/2008 16:53

oh lissie is that so? big hug whatever is going on

kate2179 · 07/02/2008 17:05

So sorry Lissie - I posted for you on knicker checkers earlier, but just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. Really hope your consultant at LWH is being helpful.

woose I think your scan is tomorrow? good luck honey! Praying for a sticky one for you xx

Thanks Mollie, it really is a rollercoaster, and it's not over yet! GP depressed me today by saying how I'm 'not out of the woods yet' and that she wouldn't put any money on the pg succeeding at this stage Going to have another scan at 9 weeks. She said the majority of mc's happen at 8 weeks (anyone else been told this?) and that if all is well at 9 weeks she'd be a lot more optimistic... Trying to stay as positive as possible, but finding it quite difficult now.

MollieMooma · 07/02/2008 17:08

Oh Kate, I'm sorry your down today and I'm not surprised your finding it difficult to be positive after what your GP said, unfortnately in my baby book it does say 8 wks is most dangerous after that all OK, but I'm going to be positive for you we all so want it to be two thousand and great this year, so sending you hugs and sticky thoughts hun, keep your chin up x

cricri · 07/02/2008 17:10

Kate Posted for you in the waiting room - fingers crossed for you. Hopefully our resident expert Jules will be along to answer your questions soon. I really don't know the statistics I'm afraid.
Lissie So sorry, if you mean what I think you mean
Cece How are you and DH today?
Hope everybody else is OK.

hi ladies, yep another loss. not a mc (too early) but another chemical pg.

kate, im furious with your gp. repeat after me, my baby has a heartbeat. it is a fighter. my gp is a moron

cece · 07/02/2008 18:24

lissielou - sorry to hear that.

Thanks again everyone for your kind thoughts. I have been to work today, so kept nice and busy. Feeling OK (well as OK as you can be in the circumstances)

Poor DH been home alone, think he was bored as he has tidied up the garage and been to the dump with the rubbish! I have had to inspect upon my arrival home. Bless.

Now impatiently waiting for af so we can start ttc next month...

woose · 07/02/2008 19:42

Hi all
cece hopefully next month will be the month for you. Take care

Kate GP very insensitive. You would think that they could be a little more positive. I am sure it will be fine. Is it 2 more weeks to go until the next scan? Hopefully the time will go quickly and you can have your mind put at rest at 9 weeks. I have a positive feeling about it.

Lissie Sorry to hear about what you are going through, it must be a very hard time for you. Big hug

I have got my scan tomorrow to see if things have progressed at all. I am so nervous about it. I am finding it really hard because I have got nobody to talk to about it really, so this site is a lifeline, and I am hoping someone understands a bit how I am feeling. Last time I went the scan said 4 weeks and 2 days and I was meant to be almost 6 weeks, so they weren't positive. There was a sac but nothing else. I know my dates are spot on too so that is worrying. When I said to DH about it just now he didn't even realise there was an issue, even though he was there and heard what the sonographer said. This means that for the last 10 days he has had no idea about how I am feeling, as usual he is just plodding on in his perfect little world. He has been late home every night this week and not been very understanding.

sfxmum · 08/02/2008 09:28

good morning ladies

cece hope you and dh are helping each other

kate boo to your GP there are ways and ways to manage expectations that is just needlessly insensitive

am considering seeing the doctor about drugs Metmorfin and Clomid to help with my PCOS.
this has been making me feel low lately but am back on my low GI diet and exercise so I hope it will help, got to keep the spirits high

cricri · 08/02/2008 10:24

Woose Fingers crossed for your scan today - let us know how you get on.
Sorry to hear about your DH not being very understanding - unfortunately I think sometimes men block out potential bad news and refuse to face up to it. He may also want to avoid upsetting you by talking about it, not realising that this makes the situation even worse. Staying late at work sounds like a classic avoidance tactic - he's burying his head in the sand hoping it's all going to be OK and he won't have to deal with any upset. In his defence, as we've said before, I think men find it difficult to get their heads round the whole baby thing in the very early stages as it's not real to them. Is he coming along with you to the scan? Hopefully you can have a good chat afterwards and I really hope it's good news. Feel free to come and vent on here anytime though - that's what we're here for! (((Hugs))) to you.

MollieMooma · 08/02/2008 10:37

Woose - good luck chick, hope all goes well, you know where we are if you need to talk, or we can give your dh a kick up the backside if you like??

ronshar · 08/02/2008 11:10

Woose I hope you get good news today.
My DH is rubbish too. He was leaning against me this morning and I said watch out that hurts my boobs! He then said why??? I did manage not to hit him but only just!!

Lissie I am so sorry love. Go and camp on LWH doorstep for help. Maybe it is those NK cells?

hello all,
have been off MN for a few days, bit up and down. sorry to read all the bad news, I wish I had a magic wand...

Sorry going to have a little moan now -waiting is so hard and DH is doing his best but refuses to get excited about my symptom spotting! i dont blame him, and last night was sure AF was on the way, but nothing. so... still waiting to test.
good luck woose - everthing is crossed!

scully · 08/02/2008 11:58

Good luck Woose, hope the news is good, good, good
Sorry to hear your news Lissie
Kate, you got to see a healthy heartbeat at your scan, you can't get better confirmation than that, that everything is so far so good. Maybe your gp was just preparing you for worse case scenario, not what she expects to happen, bit harsh though. When is your next scan?
