cloudjumper · 13/05/2015 12:21

bubbly Sad So so sorry. Life is so cruel. What do you think you are going to do, surgical, medical, natural management? Do you have someone to look after you?

girlie Wow, it's all still up in the air for you!! Fingers crossed. (but rubbish that you now have yet another week of waiting to get through).

I'm was spotting again this morning Sad And now have lower back ache. Sunday can't come soon enough.

CheesyMash · 13/05/2015 12:51

I'm so sorry Bubbly it's not fair that you're having to go through this again. Thinking of you Flowers xxx

Girlie sorry your scan was inconclusive but it means there is still hope and I will have my fingers crossed for you. xxx

Cloud sorry you're spotting again. I hope it settles down soon and pisses off. Hope the days pass quickly for you until Sunday.

girliesaints · 13/05/2015 12:52

Oh Cloud, shall I get as a time machine to fast forward for a few days for us? Hope it settles down soon

Brummiegirl15 · 13/05/2015 13:03

Cloud big hugs.

Standing waiting for a meeting at Solihull hospital - I must have a beacon. Suddenly loads of women suddenly appear carrying green maternity notes!!

Bugger off all of you!!! I can't help it, I just feel sick with envy when I see them...

Catlover2014 · 13/05/2015 13:06

So sorry to hear that you had bad scan news bubbles. It's heartbreaking and so desperately unfair. Wish I could reach out and hug you, we all do. Have they said what the next steps will be?

Girlie am sorry you have more waiting but will stay hopeful for you. Does it mean there could possibly be twins onboard?

Cloud hope your spotting stops soon and the time doesn't drag too much. Every day can feel like an eternity when you're waiting to know.

March I had pink spotting before my BFP so it could be implantation! Keep us updated. Hope the treatment isn't messing your body around too much.

Tanny I think boozle is 4 July, so she's not got long to go either!

Marchgirl · 13/05/2015 13:07

Sorry to hear you're spotting again cloud. Sad hope time passes quickly until Sunday. Big hugs xxx

girliesaints · 13/05/2015 13:09

Yes it does Cat ?? not going there at the moment until I know what's going to happen

Sunandrainbow · 13/05/2015 13:20

Gosh girlie - how frustrating that it was inconclusive. Really hoping the week passes quickly for you. X

Frecklefire · 13/05/2015 13:29

bubbles I'm so sorry. Even if you were pessimistic about it losing that last bit of hope hurts like hell.

I'm continuing to cross fingers for girlie and cloud

Justonemoretime · 13/05/2015 15:19

Bubbles, so sorry to hear your news. I hope you're getting the support you need in RL.
Girlie, sorry your scan was inconclusive. fx it is good news next week.
Cloud, sorry to hear the spotting is back. Hope it stops soon. x

girliesaints · 13/05/2015 15:53

Thanks for your comments. I've had a little chat with my tummy this afternoon and asked that either the egg sacks hurry up and grow, or if they've decided that's it, that's ok but can they not decide to grow a bit and then stop, so I'm in limbo for another week.

Bubblybubbles80 · 13/05/2015 15:57

thank you ladies i have decided for surgical option. i am booked for tuesday. they also said to me they will test the tissue and I'm being referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic.

i am focusing on recovery now and then go on holiday hopefully by the time i get back the clinic would have been in touch and then lets see what the outcome of the results are. if nothing conclusive then perhaps i will try the coventry I'm not too sure i will ask you lovelies for advice when the time comes at the moment it is too much to think about.

Erica21 · 13/05/2015 16:29

Bubbly Flowers for you, life really is shit sometimes. Sending big hugs and my support x

Girlie (I hope your chat works!) and Cloud you are in my thoughts and am keeping everything crossed x

Catlover2014 · 13/05/2015 16:54

Just take it one day at a time bubbles. It's a positive that you have the holiday to look fwd to and that it will give you some time out. Glad you don't have too long to wait to go into hospital, I found the surgical management to be the least painful way. In the meantime be sure to rest up, drink wine and eat chocolate. Hugs xxxx

Bubblybubbles80 · 13/05/2015 17:20

yes cocktails and a good night out

girliesaints · 13/05/2015 17:43

Bubbly, surgical would be my preferred option. Enjoy the chocolate and wine x

Sunandrainbow · 13/05/2015 17:46

bubbly - not sure if you've had surgical before? If not, just to say it is definitely my preferred option if it doesn't happen naturally. It's pretty quick and pain free - maybe a couple of paracetamol required that evening and that was it for me. Big hugs x

Bubblybubbles80 · 13/05/2015 17:57

i haven't had a surgical before first time :S i am a bit nervous. but i feel like the recovery is quicker. and everyone does say it their preferred method :)

Sunandrainbow · 13/05/2015 17:58

cloud - sorry to hear that the spotting is back and hoping that Sunday comes around bloomin quickly for you. X

barkingtreefrog · 13/05/2015 18:00

I'm so, so sorry bubbles Thanks.
I'm glad you've got that holiday booked.

girlie that's so frustrating but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Just had my smear test. After all the internal fiddlings I've had in the three years since my last one it seemed like absolutely nothing! She asked me if I was using any contraception. I said if I was that might explain over three years of ttc and no baby Grin.

Sunandrainbow · 13/05/2015 18:01

bubbly - yes I found the physical recovery to be pretty quick. The anaesthetic can make you a bit tired, but I was out shopping the day after the last one. You just have to be prepared to take it a bit easy for a couple of days after if you need to. x
