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..

Prayers sent to heaven from Norfolk too. Your post made me cry :)

Long may the nausea, tiredness and sore boobs last

WhatDreams - I wasn't taking it in pregnancy, I was taking it prior - my levels had been checked and were below normal range, so I was megadosed (10,000 iu once a fortnight) and by the time I became pg with this one my levels were back into normal range.

There are no safety studies on the levels of vit D supplementation in pg; I asked my pharmacist if I should continue to take the pills monthly and they didn't know the answer - so I didn't.

I'm not saying it will lead to a successful outcome, who can know that? And I'm sorry that it didn't in your case :( - just that it might remove a known risk factor for MC and subfertility. But if your levels are checked and are within range (which I recommend doing first) then there's probably no point taking it.

My levels had already been checked. I had been taking it for four years before pregnancy. Would be great to discuss this on another thread as we've had different experiences with it. 10,000 iu every fortnight, for example, might be considered mega in the UK but perhaps not in the view of the Vitamin D Council and GrassRoots Association in the USA. There is a great deal of discussion about what the best range is and by the time papers are peer reviewed, the consensus becomes even lower. Going to bed now but very willing to chat tomorrow! . Would be really good to discuss with someone who has taken it here, as it seems there are fewer taking it here than in America. Congratulations on your pregnancy by the way! Glad that everything has worked out for well for you.

(Am not in UK, Whatdreams - am in Australia ) But yes, happy to chat elsewhere. :) I love the Vitamin D Council, they do excellent work.

Hope you're doing well nosleep. Thinking of you.

Hello!
8 weeks today
im green around the gills, yet GOTTA eat every couple of hours because i am absolutely ravenous, RAVENOUS i tell ya!
Clothes tightening, feel like theres a bump there already.

Going to book for a scan next week, just to check everything is going ok. EXCITED!!!!

I am sucking every second out of this, just keep thinkng "i will never ever be 7 weeks/8 weeks pregnant again, i want to remember and savour it, every second of it.
I still cant believe it, still completely amazed that this is going right for me...5 years 7 miscarriages.

I am determined.
Whatever happens, whatever comes for me, right now, at this second in time, i am a normal pregnant lady, i have a baby inside me, a desperately loved and wanted miracle of a baby.
What i saw on that screen, that day and that overwhelming joy right there and then will stay with me forever.

I dont know who to thank, i feel like someone has granted this for me, and that i need to kiss their feet, but i dont know who it is....crazy lady!!!!!

WHOOP WHOOP

I am so happy for you!

Keeping everything crossed for you.
