I had my 7th mcs about 9 weeks ago (i think, i didnt write any dates down, have little memory of about 2 weeks during the time, due to the drugs i was pumped with)
In short, i dont know when it occurred.

Ive sought councelling because i have never talked about my mcs ever, to any one.(well, only to you lot Smile)
Additionally, i am coming up 42, and thught that that was IT the end, no more, even went and got the pill.

Patiently waiting for my period so that i could start taking the damned thing.
No af as yet.
Feeling much better in myself, councelling really really helping, im on a healthy eating mission (thanks to myfitnesspal) doing really well.

Accepting everything, although the grief has been overwhelming at times Sad.

So af still not here, so bought a cheepy test, thought that all pregnancy hrmones will now be gone...this far after mc....almost immediately a pink line came up.

We dtd only a couple of times..it normally took me up to 22 months to concieve so this has floored me...completely and totally. Do not know what the jeff i should do?????????
All calming words of wisdom very much appreciated....i know i know, theres no fool like an old fool.. Sad

good luck for the scan!

are you def going to have an amnio? or will you see what the results of nuchal scan is? i have always been 'low risk' due to my age and had to pay for nuchal scans as they only offer them if you are over 35 where i live (tho i think they are rolling htem out to all or trying to?)

glad everyone in rl is being supportive, i bet telling people feels a bit like omg this is REALLY happening?!

i agree with saggy this a 'squeeeel' inducing thread! along with tears, a reall miracle bean :)

I can't resist a SQUEEEEEEEE either! Grin 12 weeks!!! And a scan date!! Yippeee!! Grin

Sorry if I've missed a bit but may I ask why you are having the amnio?

bitbewildered · 22/07/2012 15:40

So you're a 12+2, 2nd trimester, invincible Mamma!

So happy for you. Good luck for the 'official' scan on Tuesday ... photos and everything!

Amnio becuase i am 42 in a few days. Nuchal fold only gives probability of downs, no good for me, i need definitive result.

Had a lovely few days away, kept forgetting about wee jumping bean and being reminded by feeling sick when not eating. Coooool little jumper Smile

that makes sense, i am a bit younger, had no 5 at 32! with no1 and no 2 it didnt occur to me to worry really, i was 19 when i got preg with ds1. anyway with no 3, 4 and 5 i felt that i was a, pushing my luck! and b, i had my other children to consider, so i paid for nuchal and we had decided IF it showed i was high risk we would then have the amnio, tho i amnot sure what we would have done if that situation had arrisen, i just figured that forewarned means forearmed and i could then research and make an informed choice.

fingers crossed for you that all goes well, and yay for feeling sick, 12 wks and 2 days wow! :)

5madthings · 22/07/2012 20:46

nosleep - congrats on passing the 12week mark with a wonderful fully nosed, wriggle bubba on board. Keep ticking off the days and look forward to the reassurance of those little kicks to come. I am so happy for you. Smile
