@WishingWaiting - sorry for your losses . I’ve had 5 myself all before 6 weeks . Did you mean you had ivf with pgs ? I’ve had a consultation with Brosens whose theory is there may be something wrong with the stems cells in the womb lining which explains why women lose chromosomally normal pregnancies. X

Hello @finleysmom84 - thank you so much for replying. I’m so sorry you’ve had so many losses too. Yes, this was the first PGS-tested embryo we have transferred. That’s interesting about the stem cells - I will look into that and maybe try to get an appt with Broaens too. Thank you again x

@Everhopeful35 if you’re having your scan today good luck! And anyone else x

LRL12 · 22/12/2020 10:14

@everhopeful35 good luck today xxx

Everhopeful35 · 22/12/2020 11:17

Thanks @Rebecca9876 @LRL12 - I know I was only scanned three days ago, but I'm stupidly nervous. I've never got past seven weeks with any pregnancy and today is six weeks, five days, where usually it's showing signs of going wrong 😔 xx

LRL12 · 22/12/2020 11:30

@Everhopeful35 are you going into the clinic?
Be thinking of you everything crossed 🤞🏼

Everhopeful35 · 22/12/2020 11:42

@LRL12 I am, yes. Had a private scan on Saturday where we were reassured everything looked normal and heartbeat was strong. But I know things can change quickly... xx

Rebecca9876 · 22/12/2020 11:58

@Everhopeful35 I have everything crossed for you please let us know how it goes. I know I shouldn’t say this just in case but, honestly, I have a really good feeling. The key difference to the past if your treatment now. Sending lots of good vibes your way xx

Hazlet2 · 22/12/2020 12:15

Thinking of you @Everhopeful35 - good luck at your scan x

LookingforAnswers86 · 22/12/2020 12:21

@Everhopeful35 Lots of luck! I hope it goes well 🙏🤞

NessyT91 · 22/12/2020 12:52

@Everhopeful35 hope everything goes well for you today!

@LookingforAnswers86 thanks for your message and great to hear from a fellow Irish ☘️ That’s great that he seems flexible about scans, such a relief given the current situation...

@LRL12 thanks so much. It’s put my husband at ease a bit to know he won’t have to be there at all the appointments.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas xxx

Everhopeful35 · 22/12/2020 15:51

It was bad news unfortunately. The heartbeat is practically non-existent and the foetus has shrunk. It's another miscarriage. x

VenusStarr · 22/12/2020 15:55

Oh my god @Everhopeful35 I am so sorry 💔 I'm absolutely devastated for you. Did you see Dr S today for the scan? Just wondering if they had any idea what had happened (completely understand if you don't want to talk right now). Sending you lots of love ❤️ xxx

LaurenAB94 · 22/12/2020 16:00

@Everhopeful35 I am so sorry. Take care of yourself. Hopefully Dr S can find out why and do a new treatment plan for you. Sending big hugs your way

LookingforAnswers86 · 22/12/2020 16:02

@Everhopeful35 I am also heartbroken for you :(....I am so sorry!

LRL12 · 22/12/2020 16:09

@Everhopeful35 Omg I’m so sorry 😢
Heartbroken for you, take care of yourself ❤️

Daffodil21 · 22/12/2020 16:23

@Everhopeful35 I'm so very sorry 😢 big hugs to you.

I started bleeding last night too so I think I'm headed the same way. This is all so unfair ❤️

KtAgs · 22/12/2020 16:29

I'm so sorry @Everhopeful35. It's such terrible timing. Just know we're all here for you. X

So sorry @Everhopeful35 and @daffodil21
This is not fair. I hope you can at least put your feet up and rest over Xmas. I'm sure Mr S will have some ideas on next steps. Sending love x

LookingforAnswers86 · 22/12/2020 17:16

@Daffodil21 I hope that's not the case. Thinking of you too xx

Rebecca9876 · 22/12/2020 17:44

Oh @Everhopeful35 I’m so so sorry and devastated for you. I just can’t believe it :( Try to rest up and regroup - we are all here if you need us, we know what it is like xx

@Daffodil21 I hope it’s ok, bleeding doesn’t always mean miscarriage, I have my fingers crossed for you x

VenusStarr · 22/12/2020 17:47

Sending lots of love to you @Daffodil21 ❤️

Jellystar23 · 22/12/2020 18:18

NICK7nick7 · 22/12/2020 18:41

@Everhopeful35 my heart completely sank when I read this. I am so, so sorry. This is so unfair and I just don’t understand :(. Sending you so much love.

@Daffodil21 also sending you lots of love and really hope the bleeding is for a different reason.

Finleysmom84 · 22/12/2020 19:14
