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.

Flumpy - WOW I bet you are chuffed to bits - so pleased for you , sticky sticky thoughts going your way as well.
All this good news, let's hope it's an omen for all us other ladies in waiting!

Ronshar and flumpy congratulations that is brilliant news

Flumpy Congratulations to you too - wow, this has been a very lucky thread for BFPs over the past few days... Here's to some more!

I just can't beleive it!! My scan today showed a tiny but strong heartbeat!!!!!!!!!{grin]

The dr said that everything looked just fine and no reason to think that anything will go wrong. There was no sign of where any bleeding is coming from. So I have been booked in for another scan in 2 weeks.

I was slightly out with my dates and am actually 5+2 not 5+6. But just goes to show that you can have zilch symtpoms and bleeding and everything seem the same as previous mc but everything be ok.

Lcy you said there could be a chance

Now, I know I still have a long way to go and not out of the woods yet, but this just feels so good.

Wow - happy days all around!!!!

lilypink that is lovely

Brilliant news Lilypink - i am so pleased for you

Kate, sory to hear your news, just have everything crossed that the treatment may be the miracle you need

Lilypink - that's so great, and to see a heartbeat so early must be brilliant

Ronshar - I'm so pleased for you, big congratulations, i hope this one is a sticky one. Did you say your af was due last Sunday? That makes you the same dates as me - here's hoping it works out for us both

Flumpy - how exciting, big congratulations to you too, how long have you been feeling tired & sickly?

Hi everyone

Welcome babyfever but so sorry about your m/c. You will find great support here!

kate I'm so so sorry You will definitely need someone with you after the ERPC - I felt really wobbly for a day or so after mine. I hope you find someone.

ronshar and flumpy CONGRATULATIONS both of you - sending you lots and lots of sticky bean vibes!

lilypink I'm so glad everything's going OK, I hope the rest of your pregnancy is without incident!

It looks like my bleeding is finally tailing off (fingers crossed) and I'm still feeling sick as a dog so hopefully everything is still OK - I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow. I'm considering going for another private scan in a week or so, but can't decide if that's a good idea or just paranoia!

Have a nice evening and weekend everyone!

Oh Lilypink that's fab news... it must be such a great feeling & relief to see that little heart beating away! Hopefully the bleeding is just a blood vessel or something? So pleased it's all good

Thanks for all of your congrats... it's still early days (may be 4 weeks at a guess) but I do have a bubbly excited feeling in my tum which I'm so desperately trying to keep under wraps.

Splishsplosh, I've been feeling tired for about 2 weeks and ick for all of this week. Hopefully these are all good signs. I was just so sick of getting my hopes up that I'd tuned out of symptom spotting.

Dr has referred me to the midwife who will make a booking appointment & arrange scan/bloods asap & she will also refer me to the consultant I have been with for the previous pregnancies, which is such a relief.

I can't stop but keep kicking myself incase it all goes wrong & I've built myself up for another fall

This thread has been an absolute godsend and stopped me from going insane.

Hopefully all good signs Kasha! It's also weird how reassuring feeling sick actually is

I don't think it's paranoia having a private scan.. it's a little reassurance which is good for mummy and so naturally good for baby because mummys less stressed

Hope you have a fab evening & weekend too.

Sticky sticky bean vibes

congrats Flumpy, great news, and you too Lily, good to hear the scan went well.

lilypink so happy for you and a strong heartbeat at 5.2 that's gotta be good to hear.

ronshar so happy for you I remember your 4 day pregnancy last time. I'll cross my fingers and toes for you too.

flumpytigger It must be such a relief to be pregnant after such a long time waiting for your af

babyfever sorry you had to join us

I've got an appointment on wednesday for a scan to check if this fibroid has grown and check out the source of the bleeding.
I'm blooming sick of it, particularly as it's such a graphic reminder of my mcs

Hi everyone, hope you are all ok as possible today...
just wanted to know - has anyone tried using a clearblue or other digital fertility monitor?
If so what do you think of them? any success?

I'm feeling pretty crappy today,
Had a dream last night that I'd had the baby and everything was fine, it's unsuprising really as i was due this week, still hurts more than you realise when i woke up and remembered the reality

Lou Sorry to hear you're feeling down. I'm dreading the date I would have been due too. AF arrived yesterday and I feel really down too. It's been 4 months since my mmc and I didn't think it would take this long to conceive again. I feel as though life is on hold at the moment.
On the up side (!) I know have a better understanding of my body and I'm thinking of trying OPKs again this month. I tried them a couple of months ago but never got a positive but I now know that I ov quite late (CD22 or so) so I think I might give them another go. They don't work for everybody though, or so I've heard.
Here's hoping for BFPs for both of us pretty soon!

Hello, having been on cloud 9 on friday because of my scan and seeing a hearbeat - my spotting hasn't stopped and has infact got heavier. Its still 'old blood' but surely not a good sign.

I really hope that I hold on to this one as my 'due date' from 1st mc is early march - and I really want to be pg to get me through it. If I do mc then I will have not only march and June (due date the same as wedding anniversary) to get through but also september It could be a really tough year if this pg does not work out.

BUT I keep thinking about lcy story and how she bled for a bit and all was fine...fingers crossed...

lou I have not used any ovulation kit things but I think there are mixed verdicts as to whether they work - but can't do any harm to try? TBH I think the best method is bd'ing every other day for about 1-2 weeks over fertile part of cycle. Not that I have ever ever managed that!

hi lou and cricri I am sorry you are feeling low.
regarding clearblue I used them last time and it was fine also used boots own all ok.

my 2nd AF post mc is due and had a difficult week but friday I had a chat with a friend who had been in the dame position a couple of years back and it cleared my mind a bit

It seems to me I am not yet ready to ttc but the anxiety about it, the sense of time running out was making me crazy, I will try and focus on something else for the next couple of months then see how it goes.
the sense of loss is quite strong and I feel I have to deal with it slowly before embarking on another pg

hope everyone else ok

Hello everyone
I have been reading this thread and finding that it has really helped me. I hope you don't mind me butting in. Last Oct. I had a mc and I was finding it hard to deal with as my husband really did not seem to understand what all the fuss was about. It was a very difficult time for us. This mc did make me realise that I really wanted another babe. On Friday I did a test and it was BFP which I was completely surprised by. I was over the moon for about 1/2 a day until the symptomss of my last mc started. I kept getting this really bad pain in my pelvic region on the left side. It was constant and quite bad. This has started happening, and I know that in a few days the bleeding will start like last time. Does anyone know what this pain could be? Last time an ectopic was ruled out. I am going crazy. I have not told my husband or anyone about the pregnancy yet because I don't want to go through what I did last time. I think I will be 6 weeks this week, which was the same time it happened in Oct. Hope someone can shed some light.

hi woose sorry for your loss. I think you must first rule out ectopic this time too, it is important because as I am sure you know it can be life threatening.
pain can be for a number of reasons from infection to pulled muscle general stretch of ligaments, etc.

also it may be that all is ok, have you been to the doctor yet? big hug to you

sorry not much help

lou and cricri I am sorry you are feeling low, I have also been feeling very up and down over the last few days. I can't seem to think about anything else and it is driving me crazy.

Woose I hope you will be ok, and that you get to see a doc as soon as you can so you can find out your status.

xx

I still feel sad about the mc I had and I have up and down days. Even though I have had BFP I don't feel pregnant at all and I still feel sad. I think it is because in the back of my mind I am thinking I can't go through all that again it is too much. Lou and Cricri I am sorry you are feeling down today, I hope things start looking up soon.

I am going to go to the doctors tomorrow and see if I can get a n appointment at the EPU. Do you think they would scan me to see what is going on, or is it too early? Last time I went to the EPU it was to have mc confirmed. bad memories. They were shocked that I was on my own, but my DH just did not seem to get that this could be something to cause me upset or grief. In many ways I can't forgive him for the way he treated me. I think that is why I wont tell him about this pregnancy.

I was kindly directed to this thread by Lilypink since I am currently having a miscarriage after 8.5 weeks of pregnancy. I have a DD (11.5 months) and she and DH are getting me through this. One minute I think I'm fine and then the next I'm crying my eyes out. I can't believe this happened to me after such a straight forward pregnancy with DD. I started brown spotting last tuesday and called the EPU. They reassured me and said this was very common at 8 weeks but booked me in for an early scan. Since then the bleeding is heavier and fresh with clots and pain so I know that thats pretty much it. I guess the scan tomorrow will just confirm how much needs to still come out. Just want this all over with now and move on. My DH has been great and said we should try again as soon as we are ready which I'm really shocked at since I feel like I pushed him into this initially. He's as gutted as me though and really wants a second child. I was in quite a bit of pain last night and he even got me a paracetamol and hot water bottle.

What seems so hard about this is what feels like time wasted IYSWIM.

Sorry to ramble but it helps to get it off my chest.

LilyPink - thanks for directing me over here and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Woose - I certainly understand the upset you must be going through right now. Is there any chance you can call the EPU directly and talk to someone there.

hi fandango, so sorry about your mc. secretly hoping you will get miracle good news tomorrow but whatever the outcome, this is good place to let out all your feelings as we have all been through it. its such a rollercoaster of emotion after an mc and while partners and friends can be so brilliant, its also useful to talk to others who you don't know. big hugs xxx

woose - you sound really sad but can i wish you a bit congratulations first? its wonderful that you got a bfp. i know how bittersweet it is, after an mc but don't worry about going to the epu. i have been going to the same hospital where i had a d&c for all my scans etc and it was weird for a minute but i tried to just focus on what was going on this time and now its fine. fingers crossed that everything is fine. although my dp was initially very supportive through the mc, it tailed off quite quickly and i also found that unforgivable for a while. but i think he just deals with things very differently to me and he was willing to try again quickly and is estatic that i am pg again. anyway, hope things work out and when you are ready, please join us on the pregnancy after miscarriage thread mumsnet.com/Talk/49/464233?ts=1201441909186

Woose, I'm sorry that you're having such a hard time. Maybe you could call NHS Direct? Or even go to a&e, because as SFX said, various things could be causing the pain, including an ectopic.
A heartbeat can quite often be seen from 6 weeks, and even before that they can see what's developing, and how well it corresponds to your dates.

I think it's hard with men - sometimes I think they don't know how to express any sadness/hurt/disappointment they feel. And sometimes I think that because the pg isn't so real, they don't understand the loss, or think it's something you get over really quickly. Dp has often said things like - do you still think about it then? when I'm upset, and seems very surprised.

Fandango - again, sorry to hear what's happening to you, I'm glad you found your way here, and hope it helps get you through the rollercoaster of emotions to come

Sorry for everyone else feeling down today, and Lilypink, so hope it will be OK - are they planning to give you another scan to check everything's ok?
