Ummmm, well not great really girls.
It's either good or bad and i'll only know which in 2 weeks.
I'm either only 5 weeks pregnant, not the 10 that we thought.
Or I'm 10 weeks 'pregnant' and the 'baby' hasn't done anything for 5 weeks.

So - that's it really.

I've done the math and I've pretty much convinced myself that it's unlikey to be good news. Pesamistic yes but there was a reason I wanted this scan so quickly, a niggle that was unlying my happiness.

My last period was 14 Feb. It seems more likey that it's not going to b e the good news. Will only know in 2 weeks time. Can't do anything till the next scan.

Gutted. Scared. Disappointed. Worried.
Not happy anymore that's for sure.Just wanted to tell you, well had to really.

Anyway, that's that.
For now.

Thomcat,
Thinking of you, Hope these 2 weeks go fast and that you receive good news at the end.. Sending you a huge hug ((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))))

TC - havnt posted on your threads before but read the whole of your other thread - as i was reading it i remember thinking that you sounded more like you were in the early stages of pregnancy than 10 weeks - it sounds to me like you just DIDNT have an AF in Feb - the fact also that you got a negative at the time - and also that all your symptoms have been quite recent - i really think you should stay positive about this - try not to worry - i have a feeling it will be fine

MandM · 26/04/2005 09:13

TC
Hope you got some sleep last night and are feeling a little better and more positive this morning. Also hoping that your visit to the GP will help to reassure you in some way.
You're very much in my thoughts and prayers.
Love to you all x

Newbarnsleygirl · 26/04/2005 09:16

Sorry to hear about this TC.

I hope everythings ok, fingers crossed for the next 2 weeks.

Clayhead · 26/04/2005 09:23

TC, similar thing happened to my friend, she was sure she was 12 weeks (and this was her 4th pregnancy so she had some experience!!) but was told she was 7 or 8 when she had her '12 week' scan. She's now got a ds of 7 months...

Good luck x

TC, so sorry you are having to go through this. fwiw I do agree that their are grounds for optimism, though hope can sometimes feel so painful at this stage.
I don't know whether you had an internal scan yesterday but definitely you should make sure they do one next time if not - much better resolution. 2 weeks wait is awful but they are right that 7 weeks is really the earliest you can be certain of seeing a heartbeat (that's when I had my post-IVF scans). You could ask for HCG levels to be taken from serial blood tests if you really don't think you can wait.
All the very best and you know we will all be hoping hard for you.

so sorry TC, fingers crossed here as well xxx

ebbie22 · 26/04/2005 10:10

I cant believe how sad my computer{and my day}feels now i have heard your news...BUT like every other person that has written it is true,we can mix up our dates and there are so many other factors that imply that your baby is alive and well,and if she/he wasnt, surly yesterday might have shown that?
Did you have am eternal scan?

I dont have any advice but i know from experience all you can do is love that little bean as much as you can and if all does go wrong at least you will know that you gave it as much love as you possibly could and you kept is as safe as you could for as long as you could,and to any child that is all they ask,and then after that,its up to the man upstairs......But you will know that there wasnt any more you could do,I know it is heartbreaking but therewill be light at the end of the tunnel,and im not one to pray but you and you familly will be in my thoughts,and if ever you need to talk,just cat xxxEbbie xx

TC - are you still under an e mail embargo for this topic???

Bagpuss30 · 26/04/2005 10:36

TC, just seen this and also wanted to add that I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

bossykate · 26/04/2005 10:37

good luck, tc. hope it turns out to be a mistake with your dates.

dinosaur · 26/04/2005 10:41

Oh Thomcat...

Keeping everything crossed for you.

[sigh]

fisil · 26/04/2005 10:58

Thomcat, I've only just seen this. These two weeks were by far the worst for me. The waiting became unbearable.

I still have the note you wrote me when I was going through the same, and you were a real star. I hope MN can be as good to you too.

ninah · 26/04/2005 11:06

Thomcat I am so so sorry about this worry you are going through it seems So Bl++dy Unfair! It must seem like 2 weeks is AGES, hope it passes quickly for you. Keep well and healthy and here's hoping it's good news and you are having a December baby. And I agree with the comment that men tend to 'grieve in the pub' sometimes it is really hard for them to understand how to help us, apart from practical ways, and they get daunted .. but you have a gem of a dp there
Love to all of you and esp to littlebump. Keep going!

bundle · 26/04/2005 11:13

tc, try not to fret too much love, and good to see how many people are thinking about you, x

serenity · 26/04/2005 11:13

I'll be thinking of you XX

NotTellingYet · 26/04/2005 11:51

((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) Here's hoping that it's just a change of dates, and you'll soon be looking forwards to a Christmas baby.

Thomcat · 26/04/2005 12:13

thanks everyone. Your news of mixed up dates happening to you and others is reassuring. Not getting my hopes up but trying to be as positive as possible.

I didn't have an interanl scan but thank you, I have noted that you get better resolution and will ask for that next time for sure.

Sponge · 26/04/2005 12:32

Fingers crossed for you TC.
I had my dates way out with both pregnancies so I really hope all will be well.
The sore boobs sound like a good sign, especially if they've come on recently. This was a very early sign for me, even before I knew I was late.
Could you do another test and see if it's still positive?

suedonim · 26/04/2005 12:34

Best wishes, TC and I hope it all turns out well eventually. Take care.
