PG after MC: Keeping the Posifrickingtivity going into 2014!!

[Chocolateteabag]

Oops I managed to finish the last thread - so here we go!

Janie - fingers crossed

Awe Janie so glad you are home, it makes such a difference getting out of the hospital and into the craziness of real life! I agree with you, this thread has been amazing, the support we all offer each other is unbelievable. Guys in your first trimester's please stay positive, our thread babies are proof that you can get there. I've been reading your worries and it takes me back, we have all been there and are all here to hand hold. Never sit in silence and bottle it up, share and support. Feeling a bit emotional in a good way as I sit here writing this snuggling my baby, it's been a bloody hard journey but I would do it all again in a heartbeat to get what I have now. Stay strong and keep the posifrickinitivity flowing xxx

Just wanted to wish ickle and fedup and over lots of luck for your upcoming scans. Sending lots of positive vibes your way. And big congrats on your good scan gold, it must be a huge relief

Oh ickle.. I'm so with you lovely. Hang in there. Your DH is like mine. Tries to be positive - just think if they weren't like that and as negative and as pessimistic as we can get, we would have all jumped ship months ago. We need them to be like that as we can't both be like us, as irritating as it seems that they just don't get it, it's actually helping us more that we think. That's my take on it anyway.

janie I'm new to this thread so I didn't know you pre Leo but congrats! So exciting.

I already feel supported and very much understood by the lovely ladies on this thread - thank you. I know you all get how hellish this is and that means a lot. Had a 20 week pregnant lady round for dinner. Think I coped pretty well with just 3 pants checks throughout the evening. Still blood.

Oddly though. Even my mum, the biggest pessimist in the world seems more positive than me! When did that happen! Appreciate it though as if she was doom and gloom it would get me no where. Right sleep time and on the blower to EPU tomorrow....

Best of luck tomorrow ickle

Thanks all & thanks for those words fedup. Didn't get much sleep & my stomach is churning. It's taking me back to when I had the scan in Feb & had convinced myself I had a MMC and ol and behold it was. Just about to set out. Need to take DD to nursery and then off to hospital.

fedup really hope you get a scan today.

Will check in later and hopefully it'll be to stay on this thread.

Ok, I've been a bit naughty but has helped a bit with the worry. Yesterday my friend gave me some ovulation and preg tests - she doesn't need them as due in feb. and she knows we have been ttc for an age. I didn't tell her what was going on as not ready to, nor the best time! Anyway, the bag included a cb digital. And although absolutely petrified it was going to say not pregnant or only 1 to 2 it said 2 to 3 which means four to five weeks, which Is right really. I was literally peering round the door to see if the test had stopped flashing and crept in v cautiously! Don't know why, what did I think it was going to do, jump at me? Ridiculous.

Anyway, I've still got the brown gunk so calling EPU this morn to see what they say. Will probably get a receptionist who doesn't know anything!

Good luck ickle am thinking of you and holding your hand xxxxxx

Congratulations Janie on baby Leo. Sounds like you have Brent through a lot.

And garden on little Wolfe

And everyone else I missed during my period I absence x.

Sorry I have been AWOL for such a long time. These babies are time consuming!!!!
Nothing much to repor here apart from still loving being a mummy toy wee man.

Good luck for all the impending births. This thread is such a wonderful source of love and support xxx

As you can a see by typos delirious with tiredness!!!

So phoned EPU and they do want to see me. Despite being only 5 weeks. Shit scared. Just waiting for mum to come up and look after DS then will be on my way... dH at work so just me.

Just had my scan & on a positive note the pg is not ectopic but all they can see is an empty sac in the womb. Have got to go back for another scan in 10 days. Not holding out much hope as would've expected to see a heartbeat now. Got to gear myself up for a full day of teaching now when all I want to do is sit and cry.

fedup hope your scan goes well. Lots of luck.

Have my FX ickle & fedup, sending best wishes your way xxx

ickle how far are you? 6 weeks? Did they say they would expect heart beat now? I still think 6 weeks is early for that. Great news not ectopic though xxxx

5+6 according to LMP. No they said they would expect to see a heartbeat at next scan but they would've expected to see a yolk sac today. This is exactly what happened with the MMC - gestational sac at right age but empty. Least I haven't had to wait til 11 weeks this time. My concern is that if it's still empty next week I'm going to have to miscarry over Christmas.

Chin up Ickle.
At this stage dates can change. If you ovulated, fertilised or implanted late then your dates will be out. My scan at what I considered dead on 6 weeks only just showed a fetal pole. The thinnest of white lines. There's every chance that you are perfectly on track and your Lmp dates are just out. x

Doesn't look good for me either. They did a preg test when I arrived and said was faint. That and the discharge means they are worried about ectopic. Waiting for scan... If they can see anything. I feel terrible.
Apparently it's not the same sonographer as last time which is the only good thing in all of this...

Sending positive vibes to ickle & fedup!

Like saggy said your dates could just be out. Fingers crossed for 10 days time.

fedup good luck with the scan this afternoon.

Sending you a ((HUG)) ickle being left in limbo is horrible. Hope you get better news at the next scan.

fedup hope they can see a sac where it should be and your mind is put at rest.

Hi Ickle and FedUp. Just wanted you both to know I am thinking of you. Hope you are both getting lots of love and support . Xx

Thinking of you ickle and fedup the waiting in this whole TTC after MC business is so torturous. Really hope you both get answers soon.

overanxious I remember you from the TTC thread, is great to see you here. I hope everything will be smooth going for you this time.

Oh ickle how horrid. Its easy to say I know, but remember that dates based on LMP and DtD can be really inaccurate - and at 5+6 even a few days makes a big difference. I didn't think a yolk sac was visible till 5+5 anyway, so even a couple of days out could make a difference.

fedup hope the scan isn't bad news - keeping fingers crossed.

For both of you, if it is bad news, be kind to yourselves - just because you've found out earlier than last time doesn't make it easier, nor will you be "used to it" (which I was convinced would be the case). And have heart that there are lots of people on here who have had more than 1 MC in a row and have gone on to have successful pregnancies.

kat - glad to see you back. I feel your microwave meal pain ... our kitchen is still there but only a matter of days till it goes, and its now going to be mid Feb before its back

I'm now 37 weeks and very uncomfortable, and suffering from chronic insomnia. Still got a week of work to go too, and they're being mean to me. Ok, they're not ACTUALLY being mean, but I'm definitely not getting any special treatment for being heavily pg and still having to slog my guts out to get all the work done. I think i'm wavering towards wanting the baby to arrive early and before Christmas, because I'm just so grumpy when pregnant! I will, however, be gutted if I'm in hospital on Christmas morning, because DC1 is sooooooooooooooo excited about Santa that I really really really don't want to miss stocking opening

Crossing my fingers for everyone. and my legs, might help with the incontinence!
It makes my problem seems totally irrelevant!
I lent my cousin my cot when she had her 2. She's just broken the news that her twat face 3 dumped it. She only just found out and has been scared to tell me! I swore it was no problem, not to worry, don't be daft but inside im crying! Both my DCs slept in it and several other family babies. It was a tradition!

Oh well! I suppose buying a new one will be fun.

I sincerely hope that those of us going through shit now come through it ok. I can honestly attest that the shittiest crappiest times which seem like they are unendurable do end, there's light at the end of the tunnel and one day all these worries are if not a distant memory then manageable and even seem nothing.
The Posifrickentivity here held my head above water, I hope it can do the same for you all. xx

Not good news here. Couldn't see any sign of pregnancy in uterus. Internal bleeding but weren't sure of source. Admitting me, taking blood and potential camera surgery if hcg is high.

fedup I'm so sorry. Will be thinking of you. Hope you've got people IRL who'll be there with you x x x

whatwill I'm holding into that hope. According to due date calculator that allows cycle length to change, I'm 5+4 which fits in with my OV date (had positive OPK 13th & 14th of Nov). Just hoping that it's too early to see the yolk and not just another MMC. My friend has her 12 week scan the same day as my scan next Weds. When I had my ERPC this year I found out the same day another friend was of with twins due around my EDD. Not sure if I can take that again :-(
