D&C booked for 8 days time, it feels like an eternity away. Husband's great aunty died last night, I was at funeral for dh's uncle on valentines weekend when I realised that this pregnancy was going wrong. Three losses in two weeks is not easy. I have been crying on and off most of today. Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day?

Managed to get fitted into an emergancy list for ERPC and it was done this morning at 1am. I came around from the anesthetic with a surprising sence of peace. Thank you all for being here. Now can I have a large glass of the finest white wine there is?!!

Whoops I am here a day too late, still the chocolate brownies are nice!!!

Shrek - do you need to talk?

I am feeling cross with being so obsessed with what my body is doing. I am so confused, and fed-up. I am exhausted and hating it. Went to bed at 7pm last night, and already needed sleep early again tonight. Argggg.

Shrek, I just want to say that it might be that your cycle has changed, but as long as you are ovulating, it does not matter how long the cycle is, it does mean that the number of chances in a year is less, but each time you ovulate, you have an equal chance to everyone else. I am glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

I am feeling ill, I am wondering if it is possible to develop irritable bowel suddenly??? I am feeling groggy and not happy with a gripey tummy. I don't even feel like virtual chocolate today. Perhaps I just need a hot water bottle and my bed again?

Hi ladies..
ok well here goes ...Im pregant again ..I have a real thing about "announcing " it - as it just seems to be a foregone conclusion to me that this will not work out ..
BUT .. I need some safe place to talk and I know this is it..I know you understand the feeling so well.
I got referred for investigation last October after my ninth miscariage - and ever since then I have had the clinc appt cancelled on me without fail each month .. I ahd read the Lesley regan Book and some of Alan Beers stuff and had finally decided to get a private referral when the little ink line showed up.
at that point ( Monday) I called the hospital mc clinic and told them to damn well get me an appointment as I was now pg and needed to get the results of the tests they had been sitting on since November.. They got me in yesterday - and straight away told em I have Hughes syndrome ..(Factor V Leiden) which is what I suspected all along ..
So..I am on aspirin, and if I make it to six weeks ( Tues 30th) I have a scan, and if all is ok will start daily heparin..

I cant bring myself to be at alll excited ..to scared of a repeat of last October, but at least feel as though I have an answer now

Have all of you who have been mc'ing been tested for this ? If not, dont wait ..its ridiculous .. I could have avoided so much pain and stress by having this one blood test - am so angry that they took so long to agree to do it...

rainbowdays · 18/03/2010 13:17

Duritzfan - I firstly want congratulate yourself you on your pregnancy. And secondly that you have finally got your results. And very clear results. I pray that the asprin and heparin, result in helping this to be a pregnancy that goes to full term. Feel free to come here to talk, as we do understand what you are going through at the moment with worry/excitement.

As for me I am crazy.... I already am getting the "well perhaps we will try one more time" thoughts. I know I need to stop trying but it is just not that easy. How do I stop myself thinking that I should allow myself to go through yet another m/c?

Duritzfan · 18/03/2010 16:04

Hi Rainbow

I dont know if you have children already or not ..ad I dont know your story ..I ddi see that you lost a baby recently and I really feel for you ..I had a very similar experience where baby died and I didnt know until i got a scan ..
I felt that I should have known my baby was dying .. I needed a few months before I could contemplate trying again ..its such a roller coaster isnt it ?

Huge hugs to you ...x

Duritzfan · 18/03/2010 16:19

I see that some of you are struggling to get progesterone on prescription .I did at first too - but I changed doctors and my new GP is fab - and has given me it the last two times..
This time I started it from the positive test - immediately.. and with the aspirin I'm hoping I'll have a fighting chance of keeping this one ....but still very very unexcited..

willitbe · 18/03/2010 19:54

Duritzfan - I hope you can get a little excited soon. I do have children, I am very blessed. But we would like one more, hence trying for the last two years, and having 6 early miscarriages in that time. I had one m/c prior to my last dc too. I think it is my age against me. I hope that this pregnancy with the support of the asprin does work for you, you have been through so much already.

whoops posted under wrong username!!!! brain not in gear.

Duritzfan · 19/03/2010 17:45

thanks Rainbows .. I have two children already - one is a teen now
It was never supposed to take this long to have my third baby..
It odd to me jus how strong the desire can be for another child .. I have some health issues and will probably spend a lot of this pg if it continues in hospital - but I cannot ( and I have really tried ) get rid of the feeling that a part of my family is missing.. I even see a gap in photographs where I feel the next one should be ..

Bloody hell..I sound like a nutter...!
Oh well, I know you all understand anyhow ..
