Thanks meg.......guess you're right, now the physical is over (well nearly) we can begin to properly heal emotionally. Hope you're better soon x

Sorry to see new ladies on the thread. Be gentle with yourselves and allow yourself to grieve.

adventure sorry your still feeling conflicted. Give yourself time there's no rush to get pg right away.

Shaz I'm sorry you're bleeding but hope it will help you to accept what has happened. Fx it isn't too bad - just take it very easy and one day at a time. We are always around if you need someone to chat to. It will get better I promise - there are ladies on her who are living proof of it xx

How are you doing today adventure and megan?

Meganlilly89 · 16/05/2015 11:48

Lilliana I'm feeling ok emotionally so far. I'm just so tired still and feel abit out of sorts. Dh is going to take Dd out for a couple of hours so I can sleep.

Shaz so sorry to hear you are bleeding. Hope your ok x

Lilliana · 16/05/2015 12:26

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 16/05/2015 23:43

I'm sure I've missed a few ladies out to 'Wish well' that I have previously chatted with....so just wanted to say "Hi all" hope everyone is doing good. Stay strong, it is always darkest before the dawn Smile x

Hi All - I was feeling quite ok yesterday and even cycled to the cinema with DH to watch the new mad movie.Warning for anyone who is thinking of seeing it- There is a graphic scene with a pregnant woman & her baby death . I had to leave to vomit. I wish I had known. I went home and thought I would try a pregnancy test to see if my hcg levels have gone down yet. I am still saying 3weeks + on the test. How long does it take to go down. Not bleeding yet. I feel worse today I thought I was getting better.

shaz5555 · 17/05/2015 12:23

Allmychildren .. Thankyou !!! I hope it does get easier .. Was feeling better yesterday , but today I feel sad & still in denial I guess .. I'm going back to work tmw to see if it helps .. I'm not looking forward it ..don't know if I'm doing the right thing or not ?? Xxx

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 17/05/2015 14:44

Wifey that's horrible about having to see that at the cinema...i think it takes a different amount of time for everyone for the hormone to go down to zero...sometimes the hormones won't disappear until around 3 weeks after the mc. I tested neg only a few days after my mc, but I think my hormones dropped conciderably after my fetal pole disappeared (although I mc at 10+5 I had grown a 10-12 cm sack that I still had to pass) my pg symptoms disappeared at around 8 weeks so I believe they dropped from then, as I no longer 'felt' pg. I think its different for everyone. But generally speaking, your hormones shouldn't reach zero until after you have passed the pregnancy. Sorry I don't have better news. Its good you are trying to go out and do things though, I didn't dare go anywhere once the bleeding started! Don't push yourself to do things though, if you feel sad, allow yourself to be sad, give yourself time to grieve. Best wishes x

happywifey · 17/05/2015 14:47

It's awful going through these ups and downs some days are better than others, I hope things become better for you soon too shaz . Good luck with work tomorrow- have you told them?. I going back on Tuesday if I have not started to bleed by then and just sit it out. I have literally told them everything so as they cannot try any funny business as I am in probationary period at the moment. I am not sure how long you can have off with pregnancy related sickness though and that is worrying me.

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 17/05/2015 14:51

shaz if you don't feel up to going back to work yet then don't push yourself, a doctor would definitely sign you off for a couple of weeks given the circumstances! You will feel very up and down, its such a confusing time. One minute you feel you understand and accept, and the next you feel completely gutted again. It's shit I know, but it really does get easier, there is no quick fix and it will take time. But do allow yourself to grieve and be sad, its natural and is all part of the healing process. Look after and be kind to yourself x

happywifey · 17/05/2015 14:52

Thanks paws think we X posted. I am bit apprehensive about the sack still growing , even though baby is not. I just wish I would start bleeding so I can get things moving. My pregnancy symptoms are lessening though for sure so hopefully things will happen soon.

shaz5555 · 17/05/2015 14:54

Happy wifey .. I'm sure they can't get funny with you at work , they need to be careful with pregnany related sickness etc ... I hadn't told my work I was pregnant I was going to wait until after my scan .. So sad I didn't get that far :( .. Hope ur work is kind to you .. I think I'm going to have to tell them tmw as I'm still bleeding quite heavy , going to the loo nearly every hour .. I had time off when I went for my ivf , they thought I was just on annual leave so they are going to be a bit annoyed if I take more time .. Although I havnt had any sick days untill last week .. Keep positive and remember things happen for a reason and u will get what you want one day xxx

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 17/05/2015 14:56

wifey when its pg and mc related, they cannot legally terminate your employment with them, even if you're in a probation period. Just do what you feel you need to do. If they did try anything funny, you could take them to court for it, and they know it! X

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 17/05/2015 14:59

Will be thinking of you both. X

shaz5555 · 17/05/2015 15:00

Allmychildren .. Thank you !! You have given my some good advice .. I don't know if it's the same for you but the mornings are he worst .. I wake up still thinking I'm pregnant and suddenly comes rushing back to me that I'm in this nitemare ... Such a horrible feeling .. I'm trying to carry on as normal but I feel like I'm walking round in a daze , I'm hearing things pass me by but not taking any of it .. Xxx
