Thank you all for your kind words and support. I will reply properly later about me.

Zeux- I'm so very very sorry for you I can't tell you. I had two back to back and it's soul destroying. I also wanted a break. We waited one cycle and the period I had brought it all rushing back and made me want to ttc again after it.

Take as much time as you need to heal, hold and talk and cry with your dh, have time off work if that's what you need. I absorbed myself in DIY to keep my body busy and my mind distracted.

Thinking of you and feeling so very sad for you. Lots of love xxx

GardenWorm · 25/05/2013 06:56

Oh Zeux so sad to read this, so sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family are being supported in RL. Take as long as you need before getting back on this roller coaster. I wish you the very best with your continued journey to a successful pregnancy and healthy baby. It will happen for you. Sending you a massive squeeze of a hug xxx

Bakingtins · 25/05/2013 07:31

Zeux I am very sorry to hear that. I don't blame you for needing some time to regroup, it's very tough to have just picked yourself up and to get the stuffing knocked out of you again. I'm sure you know the MC threads are there if you need to vent. I will be hanging around there for the next few months as we consider our next move. I'm so sad for you, everybody on this thread deserves to get their happy ending.

Bodicea · 25/05/2013 08:45

Hi just back from holiday and sorry I had to come back to so much sad news. My heart goes out to zeux, aoife and baking tins. I hope you are getting lots of emotional support and give yourselves time to heal xxx

IBelieveInPink · 25/05/2013 08:46

Zeux - I'm so sorry. 2 back to back is heartbreaking. Take the time you need to heal. I do hope to see you back sometime in the not too distant future. Thank you too for all your support and help while you have been here. Will miss you xx

IBelieveInPink · 25/05/2013 08:47

Janie - yay for doppling.
Chocolate - have a fantastic hols!
Bod - welcome back! :)

pumpkinsweetie · 25/05/2013 09:00

zuex take care of yourself, hope you are getting lots of love and support at home.
Hope to see you here one day, when you have healed. Thinking of you xx

Mummytothearkbuilder · 25/05/2013 09:22

Zeux - I'm so so sorry hun. I completely understand why you may want to take time. Sending lots of love and hugs xxx

I have woken up this morning and boobs feel completely normal and I have some brown spotting when I wipe - positivity slipping away here :-(

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 25/05/2013 09:59

aw zeux i'm so so sorry. what a rough ride you've had. take as much time as you need and go easy on yourself for the next few weeks. i really hope our paths cross again soon with positive news xxx

mummy try not to don't panic (easier said than done i know), i had brown wipeage at exactly that stage - on and off for a week or so but i think it was just old implantation blood. brown blood should be ok xx

Mummytothearkbuilder · 25/05/2013 10:04

Thanks Janie - just had a big cry - this should be an exciting time in our lives and instead it is just pure anxiety. I'm trying to be positive and think brown blood is old blood but I'm only 5 weeks and already feel emotionally drained by it all :-(

Sorry for the negative post - just feeling low :-( xxx

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 25/05/2013 10:06

aw mummy it's normal to be panicky, i'm pretty sure i wrote an exact copy of your post when i had it at 5 / 6 weeks. sending you a reassuring hug xx

GardenWorm · 25/05/2013 10:16

Tins I've just read back and seen your sad news too. So sorry. How can something that sounds so good (hyper fertility) be so shit. Sending you a big hug too. X

LuckySocks13 · 25/05/2013 11:18

Mummy I have also had brown silage at about 3 different stages firstly at around five to 6 weeks. Here for hand holding. Try and put your feet up and take it easy if you can. Pregnancy is such a worrying anxious time especially after what we have all been through. Janie how nice to hear a heartbeat :) I really would like a Doppler but DH would never agree! Still have a very spotty itchy, scratchy DS with the pox! Thanks for the tips ladies. Really hope they stop appearing soon or no chance of hollybobs Friday! Happy holiday to you chocolate. Thinking of you ladies with such sad news this week. Hope you are being looked after well. My friend in RL found she had lost one twin at her scan. :( heartbreaking.

LuckySocks13 · 25/05/2013 11:19

That should be wipeage and not silage!

Pentagon · 25/05/2013 11:22

Zeux I'm so sorry....I hope it wasn't too painful physically (I bet emotionally it was/is no matter what) and I hope you have lots of TLC and support in RL to help you get through this Flowers

mummy I also had brown spotting at 5/6 weeks with DD as well as this pregnancy. With the 2MMCs I had nothing at all. So, as insane as this may sound, I see brown spotting as a good sign.

Janie hooray for listening to the heartbeat. Damn, I want a doppler!

Choc Enjoy your holiday!

Welcome back Bod!

Mummytothearkbuilder · 25/05/2013 12:37

Thanks ladies - I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.

The brown spotting has continued through the morning - no cramps or pains at the moment. DH is not dealing with it very well - he is normally such a positive person but he just said how hard he will find it if we have to go through a miscarriage again :-( I'm so worried that the 5w and 1d baby we saw yesterday was actually a baby from say last week and it has stopped growing :-( xx

Bodicea · 25/05/2013 17:11

So just went shopping in a massive kiddicare with my 32 weeks pregnant and baby guru ( she has one already is a primary school teacher and is about quit to set up a baby sensory franchise). She is font of all knowledge and advised me on prams etc. Course I didn't buy anything but just followed her round, absorbed her knowledge and allowed myself to get a little excited!
For those who want to know: Apparently the oyster pram is best buy as allows baby to sit up better further down the line so can use for longer. apparently a lot of the other makes silver surf, bugaboo, icandy, quinny etc baby is only half sat up which apparently they hate as get bigger so dont last v long. So there you are for future reference :-)
Was itching to buy stuff but kept hand firmly in pockets!
I did get a bounty pack so didn't come away empty handed!

Bodicea · 25/05/2013 17:14

I keep forgetting that a lot of you guys already have kiddies so that info is prob useless to most of you. The world of baby stuff is a complete wonder to me at mo!

andadietcoke · 25/05/2013 17:35

Some more posifrickintivity for you mummy, my brown bleeding started at 5 weeks, and has been continuing on and off since. It's horrid, but 'normal' for me!
