@Paws4thought, @Supertrooper101 @xxcxdonxx , @Jadeypie @HopeAndStrength @DmcinT @Hankthehonk

I'm just going to tag you guys here just in case you want to check in every now and then. I'm
aware that so many of us are at different stages of our journeys now 🥹. I hope everybody is doing well wherever you may be on yours xx

Oh @xxcxdonxx and @Jadeypie I've just seen the updates I'm absolutely delighted for you both, these posts have made my day!! ☺️ Will be keeping everything crossed for you ladies! Xx

@Paws4thought how are you doing? Hope everything is going X

@Supertrooper101 you're dead right, she'll do it in her own time. Every baby is different. With regards to weaning I'm doing a mix of purée and finger food, she's taking to it well but it's definitely messy!

@Westy22 hope Ovies cold has passed, there's nothing worse than when they're all bunged up. Never thought a snot sucker would be my best friend 😂

@Jadeypie @xxcxdonxx Congratulations both! Amazing we've all got positive so close together, I hope this is the one for us all 🥰
@Sez281 I'm OK so far, got scan booked for Wednesday which is about 6 weeks 🙂 how are you getting on?
@supertrooper101 wow 7 months had gone quickly, bless her!
@westy22 hope ovie is feeling a bit better now!

@Paws4thought will Wednesday be your first scan? I'm waiting patiently for blood results today then more Tuesday and hopefully get a scan booked for the following Friday I will be 6 weeks then. My anxiety has been through the roof!

Keep us updated with your scan im sending you lots of positivity xxxx

@Jadeypie yeah Wednesday is first scan, I started spotting Saturday but was only happening after pessary until yesterday when I had a small bleed middle of day and feel like it's got worse now, more like dark red rather than pink or brown. The tommys help line said to switch to rectal use as could be irritated cervix but when I saw consultant in Jan I asked about thst and she said she prefers vaginally as gets it close to pregnancy so I'm really torn about switching? I really hoped the progesterone would stop the bleeding but think this is prob worst I've had 😞
Hope your bloods come back OK today :)

Sorry to hear that @Paws4thought I know how worrying seeing spotting can be. I’ve never actually heard of any difference which way you use the pessaries, maybe you can try rectally for now if your scan is tomorrow and get some guidance then?

@Paws4thought awww sorry to hear that too ❤️ i agree with @xxcxdonxx and try the other way possibly will be your cervix annoyed. I'm glad your scans tomorrow for peace of mind you must feel up the wall xx

Little update from me hcg is flying up so I'm getting a scan sat morning to check now if it's in the right place. I feel calm for the first time since finding out so I'm taking the moment before the nerves kick in for sat. 10 in the morning so least I don't have to wait round! Xx

Thinking of you today @Paws4thought 💜

@Jadeypie @xxcxdonxx thank you both for reassurance :) scan went well, they couldn't see any obvious bleeding and could see heart beat, booked for a scan next Wednesday at 7 weeks so just got to keep everything crossed, as that's been bad news last 2 times.
Good luck for your scan on Saturday @Jadeypie
Have you got any scans booked? @xxcxdonxx

@Paws4thought oh I'm made up! Was thinking about you yesterday! Just got to keep taking tiny milstones at a time! Have u switched places for the progesterone?

I'm still feeling calm strangly Saturday I'm expecting to see nothing it's way too early. Maybe just a sack to show its in the rights place I was surprised they asked me in so soon but my hcg levels are increasing big x

Oh brilliant news, @Paws4thought delighted for you!
These early weeks are really tough going, every day feels like a milestone to tick off.

I had my booking appointment yesterday and I’ve got my 12 week scan booked for a few weeks time.
I think I’m going to request a reassurance scan in between times as I don’t want to wait until 12 weeks to find out if I’ve miscarried again.

That’s great @Jadeypie , even the reassurance that things are growing in the right place is good just now.

@xxcxdonxx how many weeks are you now? Great that you've had your booking ap another milestone to tick 🫠 also don't blame your for wanting another scan before 12 weeks can the midwife request it for you?

I think after this scan I can let myself be excited then I've already past the hcg levels milestone so that's helped my nerves.

I didn't think I would suffer so bad with anxiety I obviously knew it would be worrying after a loss but the anxiety this bad never expected it xx

Pleased to see that @Paws4thought 🙂
Honestly dont think the anixety ever leaves unfortunatley... keep us posted @Jadeypie for saturday and @xxcxdonxx dont blame you, its awful being in the dark until the main scans

@Jadeypie i’m nine weeks just now. No, I’d need to call myself which I’ll do next week I think and see what they say. I’ve never been for a private scan but my other option would be to do that if EPAU won’t see me.

It’s a horribly anxious time! I was lying down yesterday as I felt so nauseous and my husband was saying how it was good sign etc. I just can’t take any comfort in symptoms as I don’t trust them! I’ve been getting some
cramping too which I know is normal but it’s just that horrible little voice telling me something has gone wrong xx

@xxcxdonxx I haf a private scan with James and the lady was lovely some places like to get you in and out and don't give you a good time so if you do go private just check a few out.

I've been getting little cramps on and off and have to keep reminding myself not to panic. I feel like I crnt even remember what it was like with James, and it was o ly 4 years ago xx

My friend recommend a place nearby that she had a good experience with. While I’m still anxious I’d prefer to be told bad news by a medical person so hopefully EPAU will see me.
I know what you mean @Jadeypie , my wee girl has just turned 4 and pregnancy seems a million years ago! I’m sure I would have cramps then too but I would have been so naive to it all.

Thinking of you for your scan tomorrow 💜

So everything is where it should be thank God. She was happy with what we saw I'm just 5 weeks so a little blob but I'm happy it's further than last time and it's not another ectopic! She wants me back Monday for another scan I thought this was abit soon could of gave it a week so some change could happen x

I'm glad everything is looking good for you all ladies @Jadeypie @Paws4thought @xxcxdonxx I do not envy the anxiety you are all going through right now ❤️ I remember it so well and the days felt long. I booked a private scan at 10 weeks @xxcxdonxx and it really helped me calm down a little bit for maybe a few days and it was mad how much you could see 🙈

I agree it's a bit quick to see you again @Jadeypie but tbh I would've took every check in I could in those early days.

It's crazy how all 3 of you are going through this together at the same time ❤️

@Jadeypie ah that's fab news, Monday does seem soon but better than having to wait a long time. I've continued the progesterone as I was and spotting seems to have calmed down now :)
@xxcxdonxx I hope they get you in for a scan at your epau, as you say better all in one place, the private place I went to first time round was fine though and they rescanned twice to see if any progress before confirming mc.
@Westy22 i thought the same about us all being together, just hope we all continue with good news 🤞

Thanks girls 🥰 yeh I agree crnt moan for them keeping a eye on me. She did say if it wasn't for my history she would of just left me be after seeing things on track and my blood levels rising the way they should.

I'm glad we still have this group going yous all r just a great support group xx

Oh amazing @Jadeypie, what a perfect little blob 😍 Monday is quite quick but I’m sure even at this early stage there will still be some development.

Pleased to hear that your spotting has calmed down @Paws4thought , maybe all the moving and stretching going on just caused a little bit of bleeding.

Thanks @Westy22 that’s good to know, I’ll need to give them a call. I bet the early stage doesn’t feel that far away but also a lifetime ago now you have your little boy here.

Totally agree @Jadeypie so nice we still have this group going x

Just a little update been for my other scan today was shocked with the change. Yoke seen so they have discharged me from them now feel relieved xx

@Jadeypie congratulations! You must be relieved 😌

I've got a private scan this afternoon, not holding out much hope, I lost some big blood clots last night, it turned to brown spotting pretty quickly but just can't help thinking the worst.

@Paws4thought awww keeping everything crossed for you!! They said to me I have one of those bleeds in the womb like a bruise crnt think what it's called. You might have one of them maybe? Sorry your going through this xxx

@Jadeypie they didn't see anything on Wednesday scan, not sure if they can just develop though, I hadn't even considered I'd miscarry naturally cause all the others were no heart beat seen on scan so assumed this would be same x

@Jadeypie sub heamatomo or something. I had one for weeks. Kept growing, shrinking, spliting. No consistency at all. Did eventually dissapear though. One scan lady said it can be trauma to the womb when it inplants deep. Then i think when the placenta takes over things change in there so it begins to heal. It was sumat like that lol i took ala for mine.
@Paws4thought such a hard time for you, you must be so stressed 😔 keep us updated 🤞
