Hi

I am 6+2 but I woke up on Friday with an overwhelming feeling that it is all over. My symptoms completly stopped on Saturday. I didn't have many to be fair but I could feel they were starting to come. My boobs no longer feel heavy and are back to normal, my wee is pale and no longer smelly and I just feel back to normal. I know that symptoms come and go but everything has just stopped. I have an appointment at the EPU on Thursday but I am terrified. I had a mc last May and a mmc in Dec. I had a full set of blood tests and saw someone at Guys who said I had been fully tested incl. the product of conception following the ERPC and he said eveything was fine and not to worry. There was no reason I miscarried. Can symptoms just complelty go and everything is fine or is this a sign that something has gone wrong? Thanks.

Malotkins - I don't know the answer to that, I'm sorry. But maybe you should phone the midwives and ask for an early scan? I just had a mmc and they said they would scan me at 8 weeks next time whatever happens, just to check things. Fingers crossed for you.

Morning Besom. I called them on Sunday but they said there was nothing they could do unless I started bleeding as I have a scan booked for later this week anyway. If I went in now it's at that point where there may or not be a heart beat and its too early to tell if something is wrong so I would just need to go back again. The waiting is just so stressful.

hi malotkins how horrible. i do think symptoms can come and go- lots of people have posted positive stories on here about that. my own experience of disappearing symptoms hasn't been positive but i've only had one successful pregnancy so don't have many positive pregnancies to compare the negative ones with, if you see what i mean. with my successful preg i felt pretty terrible from the word go until about 16 weeks.
i'm so sorry you're facing this uncertainty - i know it's an incredibly difficult thing to go through. as you say the difficulty is that even if all is well it is a bit early to see a heartbeat so though you could go for a private scan i doubt it would be conclusive. hang in there.

Malotkins, just wanted to lend my support. I know how dreadful the waiting can be. Like kissmummy, my experiences of disappearing symptoms haven't been good but there's simply no way of knowing until you have the scan (and, as you say, even that might be inconclusive this early on). I really hope that the next few days go quickly for you and that you get good news on Thursday. Please let us know how you get on.

I had a MMC and my symptoms remained very strong throughout, infact they really kicked in around the time the baby stopped growing.
Didn't have that many symptoms with my healthy pregnancies really, so not sure how much you can read into the whole symptom thing.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I can imagine how anxious you must be feeling right now. x

There was a baby in there with a heartbeat! I am so relieved. They said that everything was exactly how it should be and my dates coincided with the scan 6+4. I feel like I have been thrown a lifeline. Funnily enough I felt so sick last night after I had pizza, it was the most revolting thing I had ever eaten so I imagine that must have been a sign. Now to set some coping strategies in place for the next 6 weeks! Hannah x

I am DELIGHTED for you - wow, what a relief and what fantastic news. I imagine the last few days have been hell on earth. Hope you're going to do something lovely today to celebrate - even if it's just buying a crappy mag and sitting in the sun for half an hour.

Very best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy.

welshandproud · 22/04/2010 11:36

That is fantastic news! Wishing you lots of luck

Thanks for the kind wishes. I am back at work but managed to fit in a sneaky half an hour in the park with my husband first. Hee Hee
