@curliegirlie I must admit every time I was like I can't do this again I just couldn't give up on it it's really hard to stop your heart doesn't stop wanting it ❤️

@Indianna2006 oooh really do you think 🤔 Im surprised hubby wants a surprise actually I really thought he would want to find out. Oh my goodness can't believe she's 9 months that's crazy 🙈🥰

Oooh wishing you all the luck in the world and can't wait for scan pics assuming all is good! 🥰

FfoxRedN · 17/02/2024 11:52

@bringmearainbow this is such amazing news!!! So excited for you. Are you going to find out if it's a boy or girl? Xx

TheBirdintheCave · 17/02/2024 12:36

@bringmearainbow Yayyy! :D Another big milestone checked off :D

I've got a scan on Tuesday too (28 weeks) though I don't know if we get pics 😅

LuckyMoonstone · 18/02/2024 00:43

@bringmearainbow so happy and excited for you! Imagine how amazing it will be when baba is here ☺️

bringmearainbow · 18/02/2024 08:05

Thanks ladies very exciting! I listen to the HB on the Doppler everyday because still not feeling much movement thanks to the front placenta 🙄

@FfoxRedN no I don't think we are though were not planning on looking away we want to have a guess ourselves 😂 hubby def won't be able to tell he can't even work out what the head is half the time 🤦🏼‍♀️

@TheBirdintheCave wow 28 weeks! I think when I had later scans they didn't give me pics but I'm pretty sure that's because they just get too big. I'm sure they would if you asked them too though. How come your having a scan? A growth one?

TheBirdintheCave · 18/02/2024 08:21

@bringmearainbow I've got four still to go before baby is born 😂 I've got a low lying placenta so extra scans for that and am under a consultant anyway who decided on extra scans due to the recurrent miscarriage history, my son's previous ectopic heart beat and his relatively small size at birth.

My appointment calendar is as long as my arm 😂

I still can't believe this is happening. I haven't really done much preparation for the baby. I put the newborn clothes in the drawer and have sold a lot of things we don't need oh and bought a YoYo2 but that's about it.

Focussing more on finishing off all the little jobs in the house more than anything else really 😂

Have you prepped much yet?

bringmearainbow · 18/02/2024 09:53

@TheBirdintheCave ahhh I see I hope it moves out the way for you 🤞🏼 lol I get to spend the whole day at the hospital at 28 weeks 🙄 have to have the gdt then a midwife app and then a consultant app least it gets it over with in one day I suppose 😂 I have prepped absolutely nothing 😂 I have my handy troop of helpers coming over next month to help me sort through the 6 massive bags of clothes I have into sizes because of course I just chucked them in bags Willy nilly 🤦🏼‍♀️ the cot is already up didn't bother dismantling that and has been put into baby's room but that also still has hubbys desk in there and he works in There still. The only thing I do know is that I need nothing for baby which is very boring because I'm desperate to shop 😭 I still feel like there's loads of time to get everything sorted but I'm probs just kidding myself and will do it all in a rush near the end 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

TheBirdintheCave · 18/02/2024 13:13

@bringmearainbow We've got a lot of things from my brother and SIL so there's not much we need either. I am letting myself buy some brighter clothes though (as a lot of G's old stuff is quite dark) and a new changing bag. Basically I'm allowing myself to have some of the things that we couldn't get when I was pregnant with G 😅

emmatcc1 · 18/02/2024 13:37

@bringmearainbow congrats! Halfway already!!
I was looking for this thread for some time now. How long did yall take to conceive after mc?

MrsJGrealish · 18/02/2024 16:11

@bringmearainbow aww fab!! ❤️

I've just stopped bleeding from ANOTHER chemical. I have no expectation from positive tests now. Which is why I don't post them. AF arrived 10 days late.

Angelselevenx · 18/02/2024 17:55

@emmatcc1 how're you doing? I haven't seen your username in a little while, hope alls okay.

Amazing @bringmearainbow ❤️

emmatcc1 · 18/02/2024 22:33

@Angelselevenx I’m doing okay currently waiting to ovulate. I ended up having a mmc, baby didn’t make it past 6 weeks and I naturally miscarried almost 2 weeks ago.
How are you?

TheBirdintheCave · 19/02/2024 08:54

@MrsJGrealish Gosh, I'm so sorry :(

@emmatcc1 After the first MMC (March 22) nine months, after the second (Dec 22) I had IVF which I had to wait for. Then after the resulting chemical from that cycle (July 23) I got pregnant naturally the following cycle (August 23) and this one has stuck.

Angelselevenx · 19/02/2024 09:02

@emmatcc1 oh I'm so sorry 😔

curliegirlie · 19/02/2024 09:48

Oh @MrsJGrealish it's just the cruellest of Groundhog Days 😢🥺

I think I'm gearing up for a positive OPK today. DH insisted on a BJ last night, and as it's now a Monday I'm not positive about the chances of another session tonight or tomorrow morning, but you never know....So I have to pin my hopes on super sperm from yesterday morning 🤞. I'm not looking forward to early next Month - it will mark the second anniversary of the MC and two years of trying with FA to show for it.

curliegirlie · 19/02/2024 09:54

And @emmatcc1 really sorry to read about your MMC too. It's just all too horrible....

TheBirdintheCave · 20/02/2024 10:56

@bringmearainbow What time is the scan? :D

We arrived at ours to find that the consultant had accidentally cancelled them all yesterday. So no baby viewing for me today. I'm livid.

bringmearainbow · 20/02/2024 14:10

Sorry ladies it's been a crazy few days 😳

@emmatcc1 nice to see your name lovely. Can't remember when we last spoke but this one was a bit of a surprise after my 4th MMC I never received a period after taking the tablets and there was this little one ❤️ I'm sorry to read about your MC sending love

@MrsJGrealish awww lovely I'm so sorry to hear that your body is so mean. Are you still chatting to someone about it all?

@Angelselevenx hey lovely how is it all going? How did the little break go?

@curliegirlie awww hun 2 years that's really tough sending so much love to you

@TheBirdintheCave scan was this morning all looked good no issues to report thank goodness 🥰 I held off the temptation to find out what we're having it was close though part of me really wanted to know. I can't believe they cancelled your scan and didn't tell you that's terrible 😳have they rebooked it?

POAS come on you rainbows

TheBirdintheCave · 20/02/2024 14:20

@bringmearainbow Aww, look at that cute little face! Congratulations again :D They did rebook my scan for tomorrow (and are redoing all the others which will be a nightmare as I'll now have loads more bits of paper to file and dates to check through etc). Considering just cancelling everything and not bothering.

@curliegirlie I'm sorry it's coming up to two years :(

Angelselevenx · 20/02/2024 14:26

@bringmearainbow wellll I had my fertility appt today and been prescribed letrozole. Said I've got low progesterone which I knew anyway and that I'm not ovulating as effectively as I should be, he said that it'll boost my ovulation which will increase my LP and then naturally boost my progesterone. 🤞🏼 feeling positive for the next few months! Hoping this is the answer but still being mindful.

Hope you're doing well, love seeing your updates xx

emmatcc1 · 20/02/2024 15:19

@bringmearainbow What a lovely surprise this little baby has been. Beautiful scan as well. I’m 2 weeks past mc and plant to try again straight away. I’m a bit nervous because it took us 17 cycles.
@Angelselevenx Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 this will help you.

MrsJGrealish · 20/02/2024 17:58

@bringmearainbow yep I'm still seeing her. It's not the end of the world, I do have children and I'm glad my body recognises the pregnancy is unviable so early. I'm not sure I'd cope very well with so many late first trimester loses. The last chemical was supported by progesterone too.

So darker than control OPK today. Will I or won't I? 🤔

TheBirdintheCave · 21/02/2024 20:50

Here is my wee one :) In a very odd position with their LONG legs up by their head 😂 It seems like it's going to be another skinny teeny one by its other measurements though. Tummy is 14th percentile so they're keeping an eye on that but the sonographer wasn't overly concerned. Placenta has moved a little but it's still within 2cm of the cervix.
