digitalgirl I am so very sorry. Heartbreaking. How devastating for you and your family. Curl up and get through tomorrow and Thursday and the days after. We are here for you. I'm so sorry digi, so very very unfair.

digitalgirl

I am so very very sorry. I felt sick to my stomach for you when I read your post. Life is just incredibly cruel and doesn't make sense at all sometimes. I will be thinking of you. Try and stay strong - although I know it is very hard. Thinking of you xx Big hugs

mumatron · 08/03/2011 22:13

digi :( so, so sorry for you. :(

milkyway2007 · 08/03/2011 22:20

digitalgirl I am absolutely heartbroken for you :( Please take care of yourself, and remember, you are not alone xx

digitalgirl · 09/03/2011 09:24

Thank you so much for your kind words. I don't know what I'd do without this support.

I've started bleeding brown today. But cramps haven't started yet so I may make it to tomorrow. The only reason I'm having the erpc is so they can karyotype the baby (the other option is to hope I pass the sac during office hours for them to accept it for testing). Otherwise I'm pretty confident my body will deal with it. It always has. I remember saying this last time - but my body is ruthlessly efficient at expelling a pregnancy. Shame it's not so good at hanging onto them.

Right better get myself off to the shower. Am going with dh to take ds to tumble tots - a rare treat for me as I'm usually working.

Havingkittens · 09/03/2011 10:43

So sorry to hear your news digitalgirl. Very very unfair. Take care of yourself x

ClaireDeLoon · 09/03/2011 10:50

Hope you can enjoy tumble tots digi

iggi999 · 09/03/2011 12:05

Glitterybits · 09/03/2011 23:59

Just a little hug for digi. So very sorry to hear that. Take good care of yourself. So bastarding unfair.

Sorry for my absence. Dying a death at this end. They suspected swine flu, but it seems I've just had a dose of the regular brand, which is evil enough. The irony that I went to the doc's for a swine flu jab to be told they'd run out of jabs is not lost on me though. Been panicking like mad about the baby (the non-existent one that I'm still in denial about) but getting little wiggles every now and again, so really hoping all is okay.

As soon as I'm back on form, I'll try to read back and catch up properly. Feels like I've been away forever. X

mumatron · 10/03/2011 04:41

thinking of you today digi

was starting to worry about you glittery. nice to hear from you. how many weeks are you now?

digitalgirl · 10/03/2011 07:07

Does anyone know if I'll be refused the erpc now that I've started bleeding properly?

randomimposter · 10/03/2011 08:35

hi digi - just saw this so am gatecrashing. I'd started bleeding a bit for both my ERPCs, but they did them anyway. Hope it's the same for you. Thinking of you x

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 10/03/2011 08:36

Sorry digi No advice on that I'm not sure. They may well do it anyway to ensure nothing is left behind. As you know if you bleed naturally there can always be some products left and end up needing ERPC anyway.

It feels awful talking about this, nobody should have to go through this Sad

Glitterybits · 10/03/2011 09:01

digi I don't think they can deny you the choice of what you want to do. I reckon if you rang them, they would probably try to encourage you to take the natural route, but I'd stick to your guns and just go in. I think it's very important for the sake of your sanity that you manage this in the best way possible for you. I'm sure it must have happened before. Lots of love and hugs to you. No one should be faced with this.

mumatron I'm 20 weeks and still staring at pregnant women in a hostile way. I can't get my head around it at all.

Waves to everyone else.

ClaireDeLoon · 10/03/2011 09:26

Digi no they won't if they have already agreed to try karotyping. Thinking of you today.

digitalgirl · 10/03/2011 09:39

Thanks. I do feel like the erpc is a risk for me as I've always been able to miscarry naturally and completely within a few days, bleeding for no more than 10-11 days. But I suppose every miscarriage is different so there's no guarantee that it would be the same this time. And I'm further on than before so potentially it would be more painful and drawn out.
Sorry, this is horrible to talk about. I guess I'm trying to convince myself that I'm doing the right thing. I need to know if this pregnancy was doomed from the start or if my body has turned on it.

Talking to dh last night we've decided to book an appointment with Dr Shehata to look into NK cells regardless of the karyotyping results. Even if this baby had a genetic problem I don't think I could go ahead with another pregnancy not having looked into that.
