sorry to hear about the pox lucky but good that you're immune!

santa hopefully the scan will give you something to focus on and help you relax when you know everything is ok. my ms came and went. I had a few days of running to the loo and retching and then nothing for a few days.

fingers crossed for your scan baking

still not heard anything about the job, don't think i got it but nevermind!

Told my boss this morning so it's official at work now. Also worked out i only have 4 months of full time work left as i'm going to use annual leave in October to work part time until mat leave.

Santa - if a scan helps, just do it. It's so worth it for how much better you would feel.
If it is of any relevance, I had hardly any symptoms at all. No sickness. A teeny bit of nausea on some days. Bit tired. Didn't even have to get up in the night to pee. Turns out I just one of the 'lucky' ones.
However now, I get massive bloating every single day. Thought my tummy was going to pop yesterday. Your symptoms will come, it just may not be the ones you are expecting :)

I'm sorry ladies. I have started, and jinxed, another thread.
No heartbeat, fetus too small for dates. I have to have another scan in a week but there is no doubt this is miscarriage no 4 on the way .
I don't know if we can bear to try again.

Worried about poor baking - no news hopefully means good news.

Its a very peculiar thing, this mn malarkey, isn't it? Here we all are, a bunch of total strangers who probably come from such diverse walks of life that we'd never cross paths in RL, and yet, thanks to all of us having a shared shitty past, we all care so deeply about each other that we worry about each other as much as we do about our RL friends.

So thank you for all your kind words - they really do help keep me on the in-the-community side of sane . My symptoms were there but have now all but disappeared, which i know is totally normal for some, but I'm going to go for the scan next week to put my mind at rest.

Oh no, baking - cross posts. How awful, you poor poor thing. Praying for you my lovely.

Oh baking I'm so so sorry. My thoughts are with you, even though I know how little consolation that will be. As ever, we're all here, hoping for the very best for you, and for if you need anything at all. Take care of yourself my lovely xx

oh baking i'm so terribly sorry. this is so unfair for you. i'm so so sorry xx

santa you're so right, i consider you all my buddies, i was telling DH last night about my friend aoife's terrible time as if she was a close friend, but you guys are my friends, you've all been there for me through thick and thin and if it wasn't for you all, i would have been feeling so lonely and lost through the whole journey. you guys xxxxx

Oh baking no no no I'm so pissed off and upset for you, it's so unfair. Look after yourself and please come to us for support if we can help at all xxx

So sorry to hear your sad news baking, thinking of you xx

I'm so sorry baking it's so unfair. Thinking of you and sending you love x

Ladies I fear I may also be leaving you soon. I was bleeding when I woke up this morning and have had some cramping too. Have an emergency NHS scan booked for this afternoon at 3.15 but I'm not hopeful. Feels exactly like when I mc''d last time. Will let you know what happens.

Oh baking. I'm so so sorry. Again, I don't know what to say. It's so shit, I'm sorry. Xx

Yes ladies, I also talk about you as my friends. My DH even now asks me how my 'Internet friends' are getting on. Which is why it makes it so much sadder to hear that any of you are going through pain. :(

oh zeux you poor thing, i've got everything crossed for you. sending you a hug xxx

Oh zeux! No! Everything crossed that it isn't what you think.
This is the worst week ever :(

Oh zeux hope it isn't what you think. Fx for you xx

Zeux have everything crossed for you. Try not to put the two together - cramps might just be stretching, bleeding can be completely normal. Hope the next few hours go quickly for you - will be thinking of you and sending lots of positive thoughts.

I'm so so sorry baking. Please know that you're in our thoughts and we're here should you need anything.

zeux thinking of you this afternoon x x

baking I am so, so sorry you're going through this, it's heartbreaking...maybe you can take some time off ttc, ask your GP to refer you for recurrent miscarriage investigations and try again when you've had some space and time? (and hopefully some answers?) And don't start a thread next time! Thinking of you

Santa, Janie I feel the same and was also telling my DH yesterday about what happened to Aoife, as if I knew her in RL. It's amazing the solidarity you feel with people you've never met but have a shared experience of miscarriage.

Aoife, hope you're coping OK hun...x

oh no, zeux hopefully it's nothing serious. Good luck with the scan this afternoon!

Oh zeux fingers crossed for you this afternoon x

I second pink what a shit week, and yes I get upset for everyone just like I would a friend in RL...we all know exactly what it feels like

Baking- I'm so sorry to hear your news. Thinking of you.
Zeux- hope all is ok, I bled throughout my pregnancy with my daughter so it often has a god outcome.

I also told my DH about dear Aoife as I am really sad for her.
I had told him about her before and he remembered- he doesn't do any online social stuff but I think he understands why I do.
Thinking of you still Aoife xx

You lovely ladies here have been such a strength of support in what had been a horrible year- with a MC and then TTC again.
My family were shocking and I only had my DH for support so to have another group to reach out too for support has been such a blessing.

I keep having to say that on the day I hold my new baby whenever that may be and this journey will be worth it and I wish that for us all.

I'm a bit of a nervous wreck though- just had a blocked number on my
Phone and my heart started racing as I thought it was the FMC calling with bad news.
Wishing everyone much strength and love xx

Baking, I'm so sorry for you. I can't work out what else to say, what a massive pile of shit, sending you lots of love &

zeux, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Cross-post/thinking with everyone on the MN mc bond, you're a lovely bunch, and although it's absolute shite that a thread like this is needed, it's fantastic to share everything with you all.

Thanks everyone. We had all the RMC investigations after the last one, there is nothing wrong, apparently. I was already on all the therapies they throw at it when investigations don't show anything (aspirin, high dose folic acid, progesterone) so there is nothing more to offer me.
The consultant thinks I am "hyperfertile" that's a fucking laugh and have a very good womb lining that accepts embryos that should never implant, that have no chance of developing and that in many women would not make it as far as a missed period. She still thinks I have a good chance of having another child but I'm not sure I can put us all through it over and over again in the vain hope there is a decent egg in there somewhere.

Oh no baking, I'm so so sorry, you so deserve better luck than this, it is just too cruel. Was really really hoping you'd have good news. Am so angry and sad for you.

zeux keeping everything crossed for you and thinking of you this afternoon.

I agree with everyone else about feeling you are all friends - this thread is such a brilliant support and I find I'm rooting for everyone on scan days/scares. It's so wonderful to have other people who understand.

Shit, what a horrible few days. You have been such a tower of strength for me, and your messages have really helped. Bakingtins and Zeux, my heart is breaking for all of us. It is all just so fucking unfair.

Well the news is not good. I should be ten and a half weeks pregnant. There is a baby but it only measures 6 + 5 and I'm sure about my dates. There is a faint heartbeat, very slow, but no yolk sac. It looks as though the pregnancy will fail but they cannot be sure so will re-scan me in a week.

Just feel numb
