Holy mother of CRAP..this was defo NOT part of my plans...what the jeff do i do??

[nosleepwithworry]

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 )
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 .

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..

Why do you think you're such high risk? I had an amnio with DD when I was 35 as the bloods at 12 weeks came back high risk...1 in 68 in fact. The nuchal fold was fine but I had high HcG and low Papp A. She does not have downs. A friend had the nuchal fold and bloods at 12 weeks at age 42 and got a risk of 1 in 300ish, so didn't have the amnio. The risk of mc with an amnio is there but is usually quoted as about 1-2%, so not huge either. Good that your hospital has such a good record with it too. When would the amnio be?

Hello, i am presuming that i am high risk because i am 42, also the re-occuring miscarriage clinic told me that the probable reason for all of my 7 miscarriages was chromosomal problems.
I took this as gospel.
However they quickly added that they were discharging me because actually they did not catagorically know why i miscarry so much, they have no answers for me and they had absolutely no treatement for me..
All unkown BUT that sticks in my mind "probably chromosomal related"...

When so called experts say something like that, it tends to stick i spose.
Funny isnt it, what goes through your mind.

Off wagon wheels, kinda loving Hienz tommy soup and tiger crusty bread at the mo

Ah, OK. I see. Do you have a date for the amnio? Mine was here in Spain and they quoted a 1-2% risk of mc but also said they had't had any mc following amnios that year or ever, can't remember. They scanned me before and during (I looked away) ad after to check all ok. It didn't hurt and only took about a minute.

No date yet, going to ring tomorrow and make the appointment. presume it will be in a couple of weeks.
Going to try to get a few days off work after it. Try to time it at the end of the week if possible.
Got appointment date for seeing the consultant though, excited about that, feel really reassured as its in a couple of weeks too.

would you go for bloods now anyway?

:)

I was told the bloods have to be done by 9 weeks.

No point nickelbara.
Im 14 weeks and as i say i do not want probability, waste of time and NHS money.
I need facts.

just found this thread, wanted to wish you lots and lots luck and positive thoughts, my close friend had amnio and said it didn't hurt at all nothing to be worried about physically, and her little boy was fine x x

fair enough :)

WOW came across this thread by accident and have read it all !!!!!

Such wonderful support ...it could be a book !!!

Well Heloooooo!

So amnio booked for a week on Friday....that i feel, is the very last major hurdle and i am there, i can relax and really really allow the fact that this is REALLY happening for us!!!

I am SO lucky to have access to the scanner, there are about 5 of us pregnant at the mo, and i have to time it with them nicking off with it too

That's great nosleep. :)

Good luck for the amnio.

Yippee for no longer fitting uniform and a bump

Hope that you keep on growing outwards...how are you feeling now? Mmmmm at crusty tiger bread

Hurrah for your busy little lemon. I'll be thinking of you on Friday week along with everyone else here.

Enjoy the bump and the busy little fruit - maybe orange size now? Best of luck for the amnio. Sounds as if you are in very good hands.

good to hear everything is going so well this time. Hope the amnio good ok too.

Amnio tomorrow........deep breaths, push through your bottom nosleep

Crunchie bars at the ready, nomnomnom.

Good luck tomorrow, Nosleep. I hope it all goes to plan. Are we still at lemon or have we moved on to something more avocado-ish?

Just to say good luck too - hoping the amnio goes as well as it can xx

Will be thinking of you and your avocado tomorrow xx
