Just wnat to write a few words each day to help me through. Feel free to ignore as it will be mostly ramblings, but i feel it will help me.

Worked out that on Saturday, i will be 6 weeks.
Luckily at this moment in time, i do not know anyone else who is pregnant too.
This is always torturous as when i miscarry, and they continue blissfully with their pregnancies, it is painful to see them grow bigger and to then give birth.

There are allot of reminders within my circle of what i could have had.

Every night, i get into bed and think, "thank God, another day with no bleeding"
Every time i go to the loo, i try to force myslef not to look......just in case, i just cant bear it.
Mostly i dont, occasionally i do, and its like i have stopped breathing and suddenly taken a huge great breath of fresh cool air when the loo roll is clear of blood.
I feel ok, not strong symptoms this together with the faint positive leads me to think that this is not a strong and viable pregnancy. Waiting for it all to start again.

Appoitnment at the end of the week at Liverpool, see what they say. I started the 5mg folic acid, and asprin, but not sure about the injections, im not convinced about them, but what if they increase my chances??????
So every day is a bonus.
Refuse to post on any of the preg bourds, not told a soul, except dh obv. I am completely ignoring and putting it to the back of my mind as if it isnt happening.
every day, is a good day...i spose.

oh feel rough as tonight.
Had lunch with a friend, came home with raging thirst and desperately tired.

lay down fell asleep immediately and woke up 1.5 hour later feeling awful.

Just hanging around here realy.

I am DESPERATE to be excited, DESPERATE to tell the world and think ahead.
Keeping a very tight lid on it though.

Faintpositive I have been following your thread and wish I had the right words. I really hope that this time you get the baby you long for. We have only mc once 2 weeks ago and that was hard enough I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you.

HorseyGirl1 · 24/06/2011 20:46

another day done. xx

faintpositive · 24/06/2011 21:07

Another day, soon it will be another week xx

shirazplease · 25/06/2011 20:18

7 weeks, a fantastic milestone. You sound so calm and coherent. Well done xx

faintpositive · 27/06/2011 14:51

7+2 and no bleeding and no more funny pains.
mildly sore boobs, other than that, absolutely no symptoms. VERY VERY different to all other pregnancies, for this reason.....you guessed it, i am thinking doom & gloom.

I start to shake when i think about the scan coming up to tell me whether or not i will miscarry again.
I am so anxious.

Every day should be a bonus, but all i can think about is that the miscarriage will be 100 times worse because of the injections and asprin. Wonder if they will give me the 1st pills in the miscarriage clinic or if i will have to go to my local hospital for it, will they wait till the drugs are out of my system for a few days then get me to take the tablets????
We dont go on holiday for another couple of weeks so it could be all over for then, and i can go and recover by the beach in the sun. and i am on leave from Friday so it wont affect work at all.
BUT if there is something there, will i go back regualrly for scans because although a scan shows something that day, the next it could be over....

Shit, why do i do this to myself?
BECAUSE all i want is a baby, just one little one, just to complete my family, i wont ask for anything else in life, just a little brother or sister for ds...

Damit! While is upport the teachers strike and the reason for it, why on Gods green earth does it have to be Thursday???

Thursday is my scan date and we will have had to take ds with us, somewhat inapropriate to have a 7 year old sitting the room as i undergo an internal scan....well plan was that dh would sit outside the room with ds, so i would have to be on my own. Thats not what i need at all. THEn keep a brave face on all the way home if its bad news.
Anyway a kindly relative has text asking if i need any childcare on Thursday..so i have said ooooh yes please.
Becuase we haven't told any one, it would have meant me having to explain why we needed childcare as i couldnt lie and tell them i was working. Im a rubbish lier. So is DH.

still no bleeding but no other symptoms either.

Is it possible for pregancies to be so very different from each other in the same person?

I've been following and keeping my fingers crossed. I'm hoping for you that this pregnancy is different and that this is a good sign!!

faintpositive · 29/06/2011 09:01

Bleeding started last night.

All symptoms completely gone this morning.

Sad Rang in sick, going to hibernate at home all day and wait for the pain to start.

I'm so so sorry. Take care. xx

farfallarocks · 29/06/2011 15:01

faintpositive I am so so sorry. Have just had my first miscarriage myself and I know how utterly crushing it is. I can't believe you have been through so much. You are a very brave lady.

LIG1979 · 29/06/2011 16:40

I am so so sorry. I have been lurking on your thread and hoping it would be a good news story as it really does sound like you have been through so much. x

shirazplease · 29/06/2011 18:52

OMG I'm so very sorry FP, like everyone else, I really was rooting for a happy ending. Totally and utterly unfair.

Much love

HorseyGirl1 · 29/06/2011 19:54

So dreadfully sorry to hear this, I was reading your thread and willing you along every day. Thinking of you. xx

Browncoats · 29/06/2011 20:35

Oh FP I'm so so fucking sorry to hear that. Fucking life is just so utterly shit sometimes. Much love sent your way Sad

eve34 · 29/06/2011 20:47

So sorry to hear your news. Really hoped that you were going to get the outcome you so badly wanted.

faintpositive · 30/06/2011 08:43

Bleeding very small amount and old dark stuff. keeps stopping, nothing there this morning, no pain or cramps. No other symptoms, boobs no longer feeling anything.
DH gutted.
Scan this afternoon, maybe give me some idea of when to expect it all to come away.

I have had my injection anyway, no point i understand, but feel i should becuase if there is anything in there struggling, it might just give it the boost it needs to hang on........

Should be 7+5 today.
Lets see what today brings.

Catsycat · 30/06/2011 11:01

So sorry FP. I've also been lurking and hoping for you to have a happy outcome. Just had my first mc, and think you must be so very brave to have tried so hard. Take care of yourself xx

escapeartist · 30/06/2011 12:04

FP hope today brings good news. We are all hoping for the best for you and it sounds like the bleeding is very little and the absence of cramps also good sign. Sending all our positive vibes to you!

HorseyGirl1 · 30/06/2011 13:39

Thinking of you xx

faintpositive · 01/07/2011 15:57

SO,
5+2 with an empty sac, but a yolk present.
Good blood levels.

DH is DEMANDING that i get positive, so wet clod fish around the chops whenever i spout negative thoughts.
PMA he tells me.

Bleeding has stopped now. Boobs sore, fell asleep with my mouth wide open this afternoon, just couldnt keep my eyes open.
Going back in a few weeks to be rescanned.

This can go one of two ways, so i have a 50:50 chance of a normal pregnancy, so i need to air on the side of 50% positivity.......

Deep breath....

here goes....

another day and no bleeding, no pain, and sore boobs are back, must be transient the boob thing???
Feeling a wee bit Smile today
xx
