hello everyone, sorry that any o you is in a postition to be on this board. will try not to go on, not really a request for advice, just 'need to get it off my chest' post.
i have a bit of chequered history when it comes to ttc- had my dd two years ago after 5 years of trying, which included an ectopic (lost tube) and vv early miscarriage. had been struggling to conceive while breast feeding- periods came back late etc, but then one month after stopping bf completely got bfp, so first real month of trying, and was so chuffed with new 'fertile self'! . At nearly 7 weeks started to have some pain in left side, so due to post ectopic paranoia rang epu for early scan, which i had on sunday. Fortunatly not ectopic, in right place, but only showing 5 1/2 week yolk sac, not 7 as i thought. i know my dates can't be wrong as know when i ovulated, so although sonographer said there was some hope, i just don't feel it myself. I'm going back for another scan in ten days, and honestly expect to be told it was all over at 5 weeks. my over riding feeling just seems to be one of irritation that i'm going to have to wait so long (including the anticipated miscarriage/erpc afterwards) before i can try again, and i just can't get over how callous this feels! i mean i'm still having nausea, sore bbs, tired, i'm still effectively pregnant with this baby, and i'm just wishing it away, without grieving or leaving myself time to come to terms with it-Am i setting myself up for a big fall when it finally hits me? do you think its a kind of defence mechanism, or am i just heartless?! i almost felt a warped sense of relief when it went wrong, so i didn't have to spend anymore time stressing about whether it would go wrong iyswim- has anyone else felt like that? or am i just bitter and twisted from too many years of ttc! thanks for reading if you did- am serial lurker on mn, and have found so much comfort/fabulous advice/belly laughs on here, that if anuone else comes across this with similar feelings, i hope they canget some solace out of not being alone. sorry agaon for all your losses. it sucks.
