just wanted to bump our thread as we'd slipped right down the list!

hope everyone is feeling alright...I hate when the clocks go back, ds has been awake since 6.30am...yeuk.

welcome to chocolatepeanut, you've found a great thread. Lots of warmth and support here. And congratulations!

JuicyLucy - the pains you're getting - I had them too all the way through my 1st trimester, they will just be stretching pains.Still get them now at 23 weeks. I know how hard it is not to take every pain or twinge as a sign of something going wrong..hang in there...time will pass. Slowly, but it will pass!

Going home to dear old Glasgow again tomorrow for a couple of weeks break (I say 'break', but I'm staying with the in-laws!). Also going to do a few hypnobirthing classes so quite looking forward to that. Really just very excited to be getting out of Germany for a while (apologies to any Germans out there) and getting back to some decent shops and to catch up with my friends. Might even squeeze in a spa day too!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone....

I was also keen to bump! the hour timechange is a tricky one - felt very peeved hearing people on TV encouraging us all to enjoy the extra hour in bed.

although today has been good, I've been enjoying a quiet hour of gardening, and planning to go to a lovely garden centre in a week's time to buy plants for the extended beds. It will be the due date of the baby I miscarried, not sure how I will be feeling. but gardening really got me through some bad times, to do something gardening related will probably be the best thing for me.

this weeks scan has been positive - now this baby feels more real (especially as DS likes to chat to it)

take care all XXXX

Just reading through this thread and catching up...so many names from the TTC threads last year. I have not been on for a while as so depressed after loosing dd.Great to see diddle,hellkat and others now have thier babies, safe and sound.

I suppose I was never a 'knicker checker' before. I had Hyperemisis from 6-22 weeks before and was hospitilised so kinda off took mind off worring if I would reach 12 weeks.

Now its so different. I am paranoid that this cant be it. I am going through loads loo roll and the remaining pg test from the two pack is shouting TEST TEST TEST. Its so irrational,I am SO pregnant.All the symptoms from both previous pregnancies so why the torture?

But for me personally the HARDEST bit will be when (or should I say IF) this one makes it to the 'kicking' stage.Most expectant mums long to feel the first kick but I will dread it. For once it starts I will be sick with worry that one day,it will suddenly stop.So for me, like some others, there is no magic 12 week goal.I am so happy to be finally pregnant after an emotional 18 months ttc, but I dread the next 35 weeks...x

I woke up thix morning and had a brown discharge.My boobs felt normal so I tested and its a negative

I am gutted but am clinging on to the fact that I can get pregnant and as soon as this AF arrives I am back on the clomid

Its better to find out at 5 weeks that its not goning to happen than 6 months,and knowing that helps.Buy still v disappointed

Oh Chocolate Peanut, I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm not at all surprised you're so disappointed. I really hope things work out for you soon (I had two very early miscarriages as well as a missed miscarriage; I think they're a lot more common than people let on). Take care of yourself. xxx

Chocolate Peanut. So sorry

Take care of yourself.

fraid not, in full flow now but thats good and means I can take clomid tomorrow on day 2.It just like a regular period now and I was only 5 weeks so I am just going to crack on..

I'm sorry too, CP. But there seems to be some truth in the idea that just after a mc of whatever sort, you are so awash with hormones that ttc is much easier. For example, it took me nearly a year to conceive the baby I mc, but conceived again exactly the next month. So keep positive, but as MyGirlLollipop says, this is the place to scream if you need to, no need for stiff upper lips here (big hug)

Good luck to you, and again, I'm so sorry.

I've been reading this thread with interest. I tested positive just over a week ago. My first pregnancy ended in June when a 12-week scan revealed the embryo hadn't grown at all. The test last week showed positive really quickly & since then I have been feeling sick CONSTANTLY...morning to night. GP says this is good sign as hormone levels high. But last night and today I had some brown discharge. Not had any since about 2pm today, when there was a tiny piece of tissue aswell. GP has booked me a scan for 9/11 and just have to wait till then.However, right now I don't 'feel' pregnant anymore. I don't feel sick at all and boobs feel normal. If I have miscarried is it possible to lose symptons so quickly? This time last night I still felt really pregnant. Any other experience of this? I'm tempted to do another test tomorrow to at least try & find something out. Thanks for listening...sorry it's long! (BTW what does BFP mean?)

Hi Janiegirl

BFP is big fat positive{pg test}

I too tested positive last week and had brown discharge yesterday and my boobs went all 'normal'. I tested and it was negative and since then my period has arrived.

I hope that this is not the case for you and that your litlle baby is hanging on x

I have just made first appointment to start accupuncture.I looked into as a treatement to sort out the severe sicness I get in pregnancy and discovered that they treat infertility too and people who have had m/c.The lady sounded really lovely and I am hopeful that a combination of the clomid and her sessions will give me another bfp and this time a successful pregnancy

Hi everybody - Im new on this site - so forgive my mistakes!
Found out I am pregnant last friday - however cant get excited as although I have a lovely 11yr old DD have since then had 4 miscarriages . Have been seen about 18mths ago at St Marys Recurrent Miscarriage clinic in Paddington and am very nervous as I have an appointment there tomorrow - will it be good/bad news? still feel pregnant though and am feeling slighty queasy as im typing this (and cant stop yawning!) any one else been seen at St Marys?

Hi justbeme

Welcome and congrats!!

I live in Manchester so no, have not been to St Marys.Hope all goes well tomorrow

I had a stillbirth last year and a miscariage yesterday so know how worrying it all is xx

realised I am posting on pregancy site and as I am no longer pregnant I will swan of now...........

But I WILL be back (hopefully v soon}

hi Chocolate Peanut (if you haven't gone), thanks for your kind thoughts. I'm gonna go to bed and stop worrying about it... nothing I can do to change things. Good luck with your future TTC's xx

hi ladies
i have been on the ttc section for 8 months after losing my 1st baby in march, i found out on monday that i am pregnant again only 5 weeks but over the moon its so disappointing when you come on every month, i have spoke to my consultant who is going to give me a scan at 8 weeks as thats when i lost baby last time. i just wondered how many of you on here have had a miscarriage and gone on to have a beautiful healthy child?
im so scared oh well only 16 more sleeps till my scan and hopefully all will be well xxxxx
any advice would be great x my best friend is 4 months pregnent too so its great tio have someone close to me goin throughthe same things x

hello Chocolate Peanut - stay here as long as you like!!

Nadine, I think there is a stats thread somewhere about how things have worked out... there's some nice stats in the Lesley Regan general book on pregnancy and birth about general chances. I think, with just one mc, your chances of having a healthy baby are pretty much the same as if no mc - ie high. But I know myself that numbers/stats are not much comfort in these early days - that's what this thread is for, for us to off load worries etc together.

I had a missed mc at about 8 weeks in March/April, they re-scanned me at 7 and 9 weeks in this pregancy, which was scary to do but reassuring, now I am 23 weeks and all going well. Apart from having tests yesterday for diabetes... trying not to panic until I get the results. I think most of us find these pregnancies post-mc very anxious at times, if not all the time, but worrying gets us no-where so most of us are just trying to fill the time....

good luck and stick around here, we;re all in it together, so welcome.

morning all- and welcome to all the new people!

janiegirl - I know that there are/were plenty of people on this thread who have had bleeding and then a successful pregnancy, so I hope this one works out for you.

justbeme - Good luck with the appointment at St Mary's - hope it's all good news. I think that Oinker is being treated there - and you'll probably find her over in the ttc after miscarriage section in Conception. But that's probably a bit late for today, so hope it goes well.

Nadinetd - I think t4t is right, that your chances of having a succesful pregnancy after one or even two miscarriages are about the same as for any other person of your age. And, although I'm not counting any chickens, or indeed babies, yet, I had one missed miscarriage and two early ones and it's my due date TODAY. Not that there's any signs of anything happening. And there have been plenty of graduates from this thread over the time I've been here - and definitely more babies than further m/cs.

CP, stay as long as you like!

Right, I'm off to get my mended computer back, while trying to pretend that I'm not just sat here waiting for something to happen. We all run late in my family tho, so I'm not holding my breath...

I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy in March 2004 after 10 weeks, we had been trying for two years so I had myself convinced that I was never going to have a baby. Since then in May 2005 I gave birth to a healthy 9lbs 2oz baby girl and on the 3rd JAn I am expecting my second baby. The worry never really goes especially going to each scan. I feel that it is really important to try to come to terms with it emotionally I had alot of counselling afterwards and acupucture was great. I also took up yoga which I am hooked on even now.Taking care and nurturing yourself is vital.

this site is so wonderful i know i have to stay positive but finding it really hard im taking my folica cid and taking it easy so fingers crossed, several of my friends had m/c's and now either have babies or are pregnant so u never know. thanks for your kind words ill keep u updated 1st scan on 17th ill be just over 7 weeks, should i be able to see a heartbeat then:>?

or not today, as is pretty clearly the case....

just to let you know , i had my appointment yesterday at st marys in paddington (recurrent miscarriage clinic as Ive had 4 miscarriages)
Well... I am 5 weeks pregnant and have a little "baked bean" inside me!
The scan couldnt show much, but i was told that it looked normal for 5 weeks and theyve told me to take 150mg of aspirin every day to thin my blood. Ive got to go back next week when a scan should show if there is an egg sac etc

justbeme - that's fantastic news! You must be so pleased.

No sign of anything at all happening here, so anyone with any tips that have worked, do pass them on. I'm on day five of clary sage oil in the bath and pineapple. And I ought to go for a long walk today, but it all seems a bit daunting...
