oh at how frustrating must be really hard for you im sorry.

fromwesttoeast · 18/03/2015 14:13

Ah well Ginger. I guess with pg related matters always expect the unexpected!!
Sorry you are waiting At.

AtAt · 18/03/2015 15:30

They've called. My levels have dropped 50% since Monday, so it's a confirmed miscarriage. I thought I'd feel relieved for knowing for certain, but I'm really upset now. Hopefully I can use it to move on.

gingerbreadmam · 18/03/2015 15:33

very true west

at im so sorry its just a sad time. let your emotions do as they want, holding it in is no good its all a process. you have lost something you had built your future around. i hope u r ok. keep talking here if it helps i know it did me Thanks

minibmw2010 · 18/03/2015 15:37

AtAt, I'm so sorry, that's so rough.

Ginger, I'm so pleased for you, I really am.

AFM, I'm having my EPRC on Friday. Very relieved I don't have to wait too long, really hoping it doesn't start before then or while I have my 3 year old at home with me Confused

kep1979 · 18/03/2015 15:50

ginger - yay that is brilliant news!

atat so sorry, it's such a shit time isn't it Flowers

mini fingers crossed that nothing happens before Friday

AFM, my sister took me to lunch but now feeling very woozy and weak, bleeding has got heavier again, so am now lay on sofa "looking grey". Feeling emotional. Bah.

gingerbreadmam · 18/03/2015 15:56

thanks mini and kep

good luck for friday im sure you will be fine until then only a day to wait. if u have any questions about erpc i had one december.

AtAt · 18/03/2015 16:01

Thank you all. I have to take a pregnancy test on the 30th and call them with the results. I'll be on holiday with my family, so at least I'll have some support then.

DH stayed home with me today. I kept saying to him to go in while we waited for the results, but he said he wanted to be here with me when I actually got the call. I'm really pleased he did. He's been my rock.

wheresmybump · 18/03/2015 16:03

Hi ladies hope it's ok to join, sorry to hear what your all going through.
I had a mc at the start of Feb and bled loads over four days and everything stopped, did two tests both coming back negative so knew it was all finished. Last week though I got those feelings again and did another test which came back positive. Doctors have confirmed it's a new pregnancy and guessed I'm roughly 5+2 days going from the mc but now I've started bleeding again Sad it's only really light at the minute but the cramps have started now.Epu can't see me till Monday - this will be my 3rd mc since last August.

gingerbreadmam · 18/03/2015 16:09

bump that is awful. i bled at the weekend and had a scan today that showed everything was fine.

i cant tell if that will be the case with you obviously but eep everything crossed just incase.

if you were to mc again i think 3 is the number where they will start investigating if there is a problem.

the good thing is youre very good at getting pregnant and it could be something minor. ive heard of lots of people who mc a few times tjen take baby aspirin and have succesful pregnancies. im not suggesting u do that u would need advise frm a gp but see how u get on first it might npt be what u thnk.

i hope u av support in rl Thanks

gingerbreadmam · 18/03/2015 16:09

at your dp sounds lovely glad he is there for support for u.

wheresmybump · 18/03/2015 16:16

Thanks ginger yes I've got some friends who let me vent whenever I need too Smile but not one of them has suffered a mc so have no idea really. I saw the doctor today who told me I probably still have fibroids that weren't detected last year when I had some removed so I think that will be my first check xx

AtAt · 18/03/2015 16:16

bump so sorry to hear this. Just try and rest up as much as you can. Really hope everything is ok Thanks

wheresmybump · 18/03/2015 16:23

Thank you atat sorry to read what's happening for you at the moment too xx

AtAt · 18/03/2015 17:50

Thanks bump. I've taken some pain killers now. I didn't want to take anything until I had a confirmed result.

kep1979 · 18/03/2015 19:35

bump so sorry Flowers

wheresmybump · 18/03/2015 20:10

Thankyou kep I'm so sorry your also on this thread. I joined the same AN group you were on (in my keeping positive stage) just as you suffered your loss xx
I wish I hadn't got my hopes up to be honest but it felt really different this time

kep1979 · 18/03/2015 21:57

Aaww thanks bump - I had only just passed the knicker checking panic stages when BAM this all happened. Sigh. Have had a lot of pain today and been bleeding v heavy so think my bloods tomorrow will show a big drop in hcg.

Started thinking about ttc again. Also want to find some way of remembering this little one that didn't make it. Not in a morbid way, but they made such an impact on our lives in such a short space of time it seems only right. Not sure what to do though. My brain is quite mushed!

Niffertiti · 18/03/2015 22:09

Ginger soo pleased for your good news, that's really lovely. Celebratory cake in order!

Sorry to those who find themselves here. I had a mc last week and am still on the emotional rollercoaster. Take care of yourselves ThanksThanksThanks

AtAt · 18/03/2015 22:30

Kep, I've been thinking about doing something in memory. I was thinking of a plant in the garden, but I'm rubbish at gardening. I'm very tempted to buy some kind of garden ornament, maybe a butterfly to put up outside. I can then take it with me if we move house.
DH is now off work till Monday. I was fine with him going into work tomorrow, but am actually relieved he will be off with me. We are going to take the day to be by ourselves tomorrow, and will then keep 2 year old ds on Friday to spend the day together. I'm still upset for what I have lost, but looking forward to spending the next couple of days with my lovely family.
We are also going to start TTC again, but I want to wait till after my pregnancy test on the 30th, so I can be sure if I do get a positive, it's a true result.

gingerbreadmam · 19/03/2015 06:56

thank you niff i hope my good news will be of some comfort to you in the coming weeks. u really can get pregnanr again soon after mc.

it wont make this one hurt any less but its the best distraction i could have hoped for.

bump the good thing about this thread is weve all been there so no matter what ur feeling one of us will have felt the same. if u want to talk were all here.

the memory thing is a lovely idea, i know on the previous thread to this some people planted trees. i never quite got that far i couldnt decide one way or the other. i did joing baby clubs and received two teddies which we have kept and will be passed on to the little brother or sister i am carrying now Thanks

kep1979 · 19/03/2015 07:41

Well i am up and shortly off to have my second lot of bloods - this morning's hpt was much lighter so i'm expecting a big drop to show in my nunbers. Think i'm going to carry on testing until it shows a clear neg. Thos pregnancy was a bit of a miracle really, we were told that we needed icsi and were just postponing it for a while as we are in between houses so wanted to move first. I'm very worried that it will take us another few years to get another BFP Sad Hoping the stories of being extra fertile post-loss are true.

AtAt · 19/03/2015 08:45

Thinking of you kep

MyNameIsSuz · 19/03/2015 08:54

I was thinking of doing something in memory too, more similar to Ginger though - I crocheted a blanket for my DS when he was younger and had started planning the blanket I was going to make for this one. I'm still going to make one, to hopefully be used by a future baby. I'm thinking rainbow stripes. It'll give me something practical to do too.

wheresmybump · 19/03/2015 09:50

Thinking of you kep and I do believe your more fertile afterwards.
suz such a beautiful idea Smile
Me and dh have had a tattoo designed (we have other dc names already) but only we know what this is for. My bleeding stopped as quick as it started but I'm still cramping a lot which is how my first mc happened- it took four weeks in total. Oh and I had a trip to a&e last night after passing out from standing to quick and have a lovely black eye and bump on my head now.
