loopy congrats! amazing you could feel it all happening too!

cloud good luck today!

march you're right of course I should be able to talk about MC (and usually I do with no worries). I feel a bit wrong doing it when people are pg and maybe are worried about things going wrong, and then I'm being very clear it can all change at the drop of a hat. Today I really don't want to go but we'll see. Thanks though I do agree with you x

Pretty down this morning. Still no high (never mind peak!) on the monitor and I feel like I'm back starting the slog to get pg. I just can't face another year full of poas and bfns. I'm already worrying about which days to dtd and Dh not finishing if I change from the every other day to match the (non-existent) peak day. I wish I got pg easily but experience says not! And I should be six months pg now. Sorry for the me me me- I'm just really fed up today.

Re. private prescriptions - I was going to say - you can shop around pharmacies because they set the rate (so decide any markups/dispensing fees on top) themselves! So I'd ask local independents as well as chains.
Prednisolone is a pretty old drug so shouldn't be that expensive.

Heparins are often on GP prescribing red or blacklists as they're specialist medications - so even with a clinic recommendation your GP might not be able to take over the prescribing - so make sure clinic gives you enough to get started with & there's enough time to sort more from clinic/privately if GP can't.

Don't be disheartened minnie, you have the benefit of the scratch this time and a good plan in place for when it does happen. I think the timing is less critical than we all think (although i also find it very hard to see past those critical days). The stress of going to see your pg friends is probably contributing to you feeling down. Big hugs x

twilight, I'm sorry! My understanding is that the scratch makes your lining thicker/better and also makes it react more normally (the correct balance of selective and receptive). Sort of like a reset. As i said though, sometimes there are others benefits, mentally, to doing these things while you're waiting that might outweigh the effect of the scratch. It's a toughie.

Thanks bootles, I hope that didn't seem like I was fishing for sympathy! I think one of the reasons I like this thread is that I don't feel worthless here because I can talk openly about the most important thing in my life and because I feel like I can be a bit useful by supporting other people. You guys are great Star

Cloud** am thinking of you, sooo hope for good news xxx

Loopy** whispered yehah!!! X

Frecklefire · 30/05/2015 11:09

March**- i think talking about miscarrige should have a place in society. Talking about death and grief are part of life, even though our cultures social mores suggest it remains pushed under the carpet. But that suggests shame - and we have no reason to feel that. And for what it's worth you are one of the key people i look for on here because of your well formed opinions.
Btw - have we heard of barking* recently? I don't recall seeing any posts this week from her - are you out there barking*? Sending you good wishes if you are lurking!

No sign of ov this month - day 16, hope it's not going to be day 30 like last month!

cloudjumper · 30/05/2015 11:25

All good on the scan!! Measuring bang on 9+6 (which I am tomorrow), heart beating away, it was moving around, and we could even see its nose! So relieved Smile

Catlover2014 · 30/05/2015 13:26

Just had a quick check in to see how Cloud got on and couldn't resist leaving a quick post to say whoooooooop! Really happy for you lovely lady, must have been great to see that sort of detail on the baby's face too Smile x

cloudjumper · 30/05/2015 14:06

Thank you all. I am sooo relieved, I had expected the worst. But all is looking good, heartbeat strong, placenta is starting to form, all in place.
The sonographer could not see any reason for the spotting/bleeding, so I am wondering if it's to do with the heparin. She did say, though, that sometimes you can get cell abruption when the placenta is starting to be established, which can lead to bleeding, so it could have something to do with that. Who knows...
And it was as I suspected - they had not realised that I had a scan 2 weeks ago already, so this one was definitely a bonus freebie. The nurse who took my blood pressure and history for a bit miffed when she heard that I've already had one, but it really isn't my problem if they don't check their records Wink I am very grateful they let me have it, don't get me wrong, I have felt so rotten in the last 2weeks, it was worth it (for me, anyway). So, thank you, NHS, for being disorganised!
12 week scan is next, but I'm not sure they will fit me in before we go on holiday in 2 weeks... Of course I will be 12 weeks just as we are going away for a fortnight, duh.

Shattered now, all the anxiety has left (for now). Might go and have a sneaky nap while DH and DS are out shopping.

tannyLoo · 30/05/2015 14:08

Definitely go and have a nap. You deserve it! Grin

Wadsy · 30/05/2015 14:21

sun so happy for you! Hope you can relax a bit now.

cloud so happy the spotting hasn't led to bad news. So cute that you saw bub's nose. Dinky!

loopy fab news about the bfp! I must have missed your post when you felt implantation. I'm intrigued, do tell?!

bootles our dates are similar! How are you coping? Do you have a heartbeat scan booked?

girlie I'm so sorry to hear it didn't work out. I was hoping for a miracle. I really hope you enjoy your well deserved holiday.

cheesy glad you enjoyed your hol! Re the needles on a plane, sleazy jet have made me get a signed letter from the dr.
