tea it's frustrating that you've not got a 100% answer, but great news that the baby has grown! That really is good...when is your 12 week?

EnglishGirlsReturned · 05/06/2014 15:00

Glad that's the baby is still doing well and growing Tea! Sucks that's you're still in limbo. Hope the next few weeks until 12 weeks flys by in un-eventfully!

Itscurtainsforyou · 05/06/2014 15:24

Glad things are looking more positive tea.

Bad news for me, passed a lot of bright red blood this morning, had a scan which showed the sac had detached from the womb and moved down on its way out. There was also no sign of baby developing so miscarriage is inevitable. Good news is that everyone was very kind, both the midwife and consultant came to talk to me and gave me a hug. Now just home waiting for the full force of the bleeding etc to kick in.

Wishing you all the best for successful pregnancies Smile

Oh curtains, I'm so sorry. Sounds like you've had brilliant care. I hope things pass quickly and you can start to grieve your loss. Sending you big hugs xxx

Cakebaker35 · 05/06/2014 16:30

Oh curtains so very very sorry, sending you hugs xxxx

tea well it seems you and I go together in more than just name! Had scan today and my bleeding is due to the last clot having bled some more and got bigger. Basically as the placenta is growing it's given a big blood vessel in my uterus lining a big nudge causing a rupture. This clotted and then that clot has also had a nudge causing more bleeding. It's big and I've been told to expect lots more bleeding and cramping as it comes away. It's close to my cervix so very likely to pass it rather than the body re absorb. Now it's a waiting game to see if when the clots comes away it brings everything with it, impossible to say. I'm going back in a week's time for another scan. Paying privately for all this as local hospital staff are great but it involves hours of hanging around and I'd probably be told to wait til 12 wks before scanning which is just too much limbo for me. At £50 a go I think it's money well spent and the lady at the clinic is just lovely. So we will see what the next week holds. Little bean is growing nicely and measuring 6+6 but who knows if it'll still be hanging on there next week.

Thanks to you all for the lovely messages, what a bloody rollercoaster this is! X

amicablemoomin · 05/06/2014 16:35

curtains I'm so sorry.

IhavetowaitHOWlong · 05/06/2014 18:32

Glad you've had some positive news today teaand cake, even if you are both still somewhat in limbo.

curtains I'm so so sorry. Hope you're getting lots of support Thanks

Seasides · 05/06/2014 19:08

curtains, that's awful, I'm so sorry.

Wow, what a rollercoaster for you both tea and cake. Really glad your beans are hanging on in there and it's not as bad as first feared - so hope your next scans bring good news too.

TeaRex · 05/06/2014 19:12

curtains I'm so sorry :( you've been through so much, I really hope you're okay and being looked after Thanks

cake pleased that it's not bad news but the waiting is horrible, you're right it's a complete roller coaster. My next scans not till the 23rd so I'm expecting to go grey over the next couple of weeks, just have to try and get on with it I guess.

Thanks again for all your well wishes, it really does help x

joosiewoosie · 05/06/2014 20:05

So sorry, Curtains. What a rough ride you've had. Be extra kind to yourself. Sending of chocolate and hugs xxx

Penguin13 · 05/06/2014 21:22

I'm so sorry for your loss curtains Sad There are no words to make it better but I hope that you are surrounded with love, support and care.

Tea and Cake I'm glad you each got positive news if not quite the reassurance you were hoping for. Will be rooting for you both.

LondonJen · 05/06/2014 22:12

Fingers crossed for you both Tea and Cake sending you lots of hope x

I'm so sorry curtains. It is nice to hear that you were treated so well when you needed it

Itscurtainsforyou · 05/06/2014 22:13

Thank you all, really appreciate it.

Gwlondon · 05/06/2014 22:17

itscurtainsforyou I am very sorry. X

teaRex and cakebaker35 good luck. I am glad the scans went well (partly) but it must be so hard to know that there will still be bleeding. I have everything crossed.

squizita · 05/06/2014 22:33

Cake keeping everything crossed for your little bean!

Gosh I thought TTC was bad enough but i realise now the emotional rollercoaster is only just getting started after our BFP's. Sending lots of thoughts your way to tea, cake and curtains

I'm taking the final exam today of a Law qualification that I've been studying for since January. Its been a mega hard 6 months, full time job and fitting in studying and coursework lunchtimes and evenings after my 2 year old has gone to bed. Not to mention I spent Jan-Feb in the first trimester so feeling sicky and exhausted, then had the MC 2 days before I had to drive 3 hours for my first University study weekend. And now I'm feeling sicky and exhausted again just intime for the exams! I will be very glad when today is over!

amicablemoomin · 06/06/2014 10:35

good luck today Gail - no wonder you are exhausted! Hope you can relax with a nice tonic water tonight Smile

squizita · 06/06/2014 10:54

Hello all. Someone kindly pointed me towards this thread last week when I was feeling low during my 2ww. I hope you don't mind me stopping by. I have actually had a bfp this week but I am really, really nervous. AF isn't even due till today/tomorrow and the line on the test is not getting darker yet. I had a mmc in January and a chemical pg last August and really, really, want this one to stick but am not sure it's going to (I know - need to be posifrickintive!). Haven't felt anywhere near as sick since Tuesday though and the lines are if anything lighter now. I do have one dd, and I know I'm really lucky for that. I would really like to give her a sibling though. Good luck to everyone on this thread - I hope I can offer some support to others too.

longestlurkerever · 06/06/2014 11:11

PS Have just read back through some of the recent posts and wanted to add how sorry I am to read your news, curtains.

longestlurkerever · 06/06/2014 13:24

and that I am keeping everything crossed for you, tea and cakes. Must be gruelling for you.

Cakebaker35 · 06/06/2014 13:59

Thanks longest and welcome. Congratulations on your bfp and remember, today you are pregnant Smile

Well it's not great news from here - tmi alert - I've passed a couple of huge huge clots and continue to bleed. I was told to expect bleeding and that the clot would make it's way out but all I can think when I see it all is that's my little bean on it's way out and it's all over, just the sheer volume of it all says to me that everything is coming away. It's bloody torture going to the loo and having to face it over and over. Seriously lacking in posifrickentivity today, fish slaps please. Sorry for the woe is me post but I just can't pull myself together at all at the moment.

longestlurkerever · 06/06/2014 14:11

cake you poor thing. That does sound scary. Are you at home, and are you on your own? Do you have anyone you can call? Am really, really hoping for you that your little bean is clinging on. Today you are pregnant, and all that.
