Just MC'd. Starting it all again.. Come and join me for the long haul.

[MumOfBaby]

Hi all.

Needing some extra support this time round as have just had a MC. We are trying again straight away. But I've a feeling it's going to take ages. Got pregnant first month trying last 2 times. I have 1 DC- 11 months.

I want some people to join this thread who are ready to hold hands and help each other through the TTC.

Good luck to all.

Oh and can I explain that my multiple spelling mistakes are a result of me having to use my iPhone for internet at the min and can be a bit fiddly!

Hi LeeWT , thanks. I'm going early tomorrow, so hopefully will have the results by the end of the day.
How are you feeling today?

Evening ladies.

Bit the bullet and did a test an hour ago.

It's positive

Have called DP and told him to come home and he immediately guessed what was up, bless him.

I now don't know whether to laugh or cry, and have convinced myself that as it's only 8 weeks after my ERPC that it's some sort of residual hangover - even though I had my first post-MMC period 30 days after the op. What do I do now? Call the EPU? Shit! Help!

viv that's great news. Stay calm and breathe!!! So very exciting, that's 3 this month now with LittleOne and Becky. Unless there is a problem I wouldn't call the epu, just take some time for a day or so then maybe see your gp. Xxxxx happy for you

This is such an odd feeling. The reason I thought of calling the EPU is that they told me when they were counselling me through the ERPC process that if and when I ever got pregnant again, to call them and they would happily see me.

You're right though. Might leave it a few days and call my GP.

viv congrats!!!!

got this off a website-
Question: How Long Does It Take for hCG To Drop to Zero After a Miscarriage?

Answer: The exact length of time for hCG to leave your system after a miscarriage depends on how high the hCG level was at the time that the pregnancy stopped developing.

The average span of time is that the hCG can disappear from your system in anywhere from 9 to 35 days. In general, a woman who had a very early miscarriage is likely to have her hCG return to zero faster than someone whose loss occurred later.

Therefore I think Viv that you're laughing! wahoo!

oh viv so happy for you! That's one HUGE step taken. Let this one be a sticky bean.

boodle I'm thinking of you :-( , best of luck tomorrow. I sooooo hope that everything turns out to be alright.

Joy and pain seem to be lying very close tonight.

boodle crossed posts with you earlier and only jsut read your post ... don't you be coming back here lady.. or at least we only want to see you if you are just visiting. [attempts supportive emoticon] thinking of you. Fingers and everything crossed (well I am on my 2WW after all)

seriously, love coming your way big style

Hi All

Thanks for the warm welcome i used to post ALOT on mumsnet last year when i had my first miscarriage but had managed to pick myself back uptill off work and stopped.

Congrats to those with BFP ...Fingers crossed they stick seems to be no rhyme or reason to it...With my first MMC no signs or symptons there was anything wrong with my second had some spotting, all be it "old" blood!!!!

Next time i get my BFP not going to give it 1 thought or attempt to analyse in any way shape or form!!!!

Hope everyones well today ,I m still off work going to see dr as hospital have reccommended i be referred to recurrent miscarriage unit and going to push for asap.Then we can ttc again asap.

All well with me after EPRC stopped bleeding after 2 days much better and less traumatic than the medical management i had last year.Got nice stuff to look foreward to off to Amsterdam for 5 days next weekend then back for 10 days then off on my hols YEH.Plenty of sun, wine and BD...

Morning ladies

Well, it all feels very surreal but am starting to have those first flickers of excitment.

Called the EPU this morning and they've told me to go in this afternoon for a blood test, just to check what's what. Hopefully they can reassure me one way or another.

viv good luck with epu!!

Louise I too had the medical management with my first mmc - talk about false advertising I have never been through anything as traumatic in my life. I actually contacted the gp and hv to complain via them .. Don't know about you but I found it extremely painful and traumatic. Had erpc last wk & tho it's knocked me out bit more it was way less stressful.

Let us know how you get on with the investigation re your mcs tho I thought they didn't consider two to be a pattern? After all I had dd no bother and then had two mcs so apparently you're still statistically likely to be able to have healthy pregnancy.. According to the books anyway!

I know some of our grads are having scans today so am sending loads of sticky vibes to you girls!!!

Just been to the hospital for the second blood test - will get the results at about 5pm. However, I did ANOTHER Clearblue (I know, stupid), and it still says 1-2 weeks, so it's fair to say that it's all over, and the hcg has gone down rapidly. I kind of knew it, but wanted to make sure, instead of waiting all day for the blood test results and having some sort of false hope.

Viv - that's excellent news!!!!!! Glad you are starting to feel excited. Good luck with the test later.

I'm thrilled that there is some good news on the grad's list, but still worried for boodle.

Myself, well OPK hasn't given me a +ve yet, so we're keeping up the BD, and hoping for the best. I'm at the office now and will POAS in half an hour or so (as you're supposed to do it at roughly the same time every day) - I just hope no-one goes to the ladies at the same time as I do and then wonders why I don't come out for 5 minutes...

Hi All

LEEWT I too found medical management horrible soo drawn out took about 14 hrs for anything to happen.

The reason i ve been referred is my age i think i m 39 in December and i m a specialist sister in the same trust soo i think they referred me as a bit of a favour.

Seen my gp todays whos going to refer me to the recurrent miscarriage clinic.

Hope everyone is well and looking fpreward to the weekend.Bleeding stopped now rung EPU who recommended i don t have sex or swim for another week then BD here we come...

Congrats VIV hope alls well this time.Good luck

Any news from Boodleboot? And how is MrsRigby?

Well, I finally got a conclusive result from the hospital today - my hcg levels have gone down to 70 from 110, so it's fair to say that this one isn't progressing. I kind of knew this already, but still upsetting to hear for sure 'sorry, this was a failed pregnancy'. Although I did my crying the other night, I feel very 'flat' this evening, and the bleeding is still happening.

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry for Boodle, seems so unfair to go through all the horrible uncertainty again.

CD54 for me. Nowt happening. No sign of AF. It is quite hard not having a CD to at least give a feeling of progress, going towards or moving away from ovulation. Not obsessive or anything, but have occupied myself instead with saving some money on Ebay. Spent £300 on Playmobil in the last 10 days - that's a saving right?? Hope AF arrives soon because I am "watching" another couple items..

Evening everyone - it's been a while, can't actually remember when I last posted .

You may or may not know that Google has released an online monopoly competition. I LOVE MONOPOLY. So of course I've managed to get myself hooked and hence I went AWOL from the thread.

Sorry.

Feeling better, that's mostly because I'm just not thinking about returning to work or DS being put in nursery. Ignorance is bliss . Also my period has finished and I'm concentrating on TTC#2 this month [wishful thinking smiley].

tigerbear I'm so, so, so, sorry .

vivclicquot congratulations.

boodleboot where are you? I hope your everything is okay. I've got my fingers crossed that you'll reply with good news.

hi guys.

i am really sad to say that despite seeing a lovely bean and strong heartbeat on fri, the pregnancy was ectopic and they removed both baby and left tube in emergency surgery almost straightaway. it was very frightening and like bad dream and i think it still hasnt really sunk in. i don't think i want it to actually. horrible post op pain from the keyhole surgery gas stuff they use has meant i have only just been released. sadly the right tube shows external signs of the same scarring as the right so i have gone from being pregnant to having a fifty percent chance of falling pregnant again with another ectopic likely.

i am retiring for the next few months to consider with DH if we are even up for doing this again....i dont think i am right now but that may change. i need to grieve for this poor misplaced bean. to lose two babies in one year is far too much for me to bear...

i really really wish you all the luck in the world and hope you all have happy healthy pregnancies and continue to support eachother through....god bless.

Oh Boodle thats so heartbreaking for you. Nothing to say that will make any difference at all except so much love to you and your dh. xxxxxx

boodleboot I'm so, so, so sorry.

Boodle I am broken hearted for you.. Have been checking mn all weekend to c if u are ok..

I feel the same as you having lost two babies in four months.. It's almost incomprehensible to thnk of moving on..

My email is walsheet at gmail . Com if you ever want a chat but don't feel able for mumsnet..

All my love and best wishes, am crying for us both right now and am here if u need a chat Xxxx

oh boodle

I too was checking in all the time to see how you were doing - and my heart was sinking the longer there was no news. So desperately sad for you.

thanks girls. i know there is nothing that can be really said as this will just take time to get my head around. feel very empty at the moment and almost devoid of emotion, prob a safety mechanism. i have kent selection tests and 11+ to get the daughter ready for and my son has tae kwon do gradings to practice for so really back to normal in one respect in our family home. I am 31 and have gorgeous children,husband and cats and a very madcap happy family home, i am grateful for that and will need to remember that to help me get some perspective, my life is already amazing and we will get through this. MN is going to be a no go zone for me for a while as i need to clear my head from babymaking and reevalutate but any of you can contact me on FB should you want to. i dont want to bring the thread down in a mood....good luck to you all with your pregnancies or TTC xxx

love and hugs
Leanna Minahan

Still so sad for Boodle. Sounds like you are being very brave about it all, and good to reflect on everything you have, but even so such a difficult time emotionally. There are defintely going to be MN threads which will have women in the same position so maybe see if there is additional support for you there, we will always be here of course. Will Facebook you later (banned at work!)

Have updated list - heart not really in it at the mo though
Not much to say. 2WW
