Staying posifrickentive- Thread 10 for ladies pg after mc

[LynseyH5]

I've made the new thread, hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes... just wanted to make sure we had one.

Really happy for you Lyndsey! Very good news. It must feel like such a relief.

Mrs so sorry to hear the anxiety you are going through. Good you got your scan brought forward will you have that at 6 weeks now? If you do want bloods im sure your GP would do them for you. I think the change in hormones mustn't be helping in our bodies mustn't be helping the mental state. I am the same. It's so so hard. Unfortunately there's nothing anyone can do for us. The other night I resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn't happening for me this time. I felt suffocated and like I couldn't cope. I wanted to cry and cry. And now after seeing the GP I seem to be a bit more positive again.

All being well, I'll be about 5+3 today. See what the bloods show later. Each day is a milestone isn't it. Xxx

Mrs, I've also had light twinges/ cramping. They say that's totally normal. It's just about noticeable but not sore as such. It does fit into the 'everything is stretching' idea.

In my last miscarriage I had worse cramping. It was more like period pain and I almost needed painkillers for it as it was constantly uncomfortable. It sounds like the twinges you describe are more like what I am experiencing this time.

Mrs and Purple the early days are tough . Soon, stronger symptoms will kick in and be a welcome reassurance!

Congratulations Lynsey, so pleased to hear more good news.
I've got another scan today, 10+5. Still worried despite all being ok 2 weeks ago.. Not sure we'll stop worrying will we?!

Good luck nasch. What time is your scan?

And good luck purple for your bloods. Thinking of you.

mrs we will get through this!! I'm determined we will. Lots of love.

Hope everyone else is good.

Xxx

Good luck for the scan!

Thanks Kate, hope you are enjoying your holiday.

My sickness didn't kick in until 8 weeks mrs. Enjoy this time! Xx

Hi ladies,

Can I join? Found out I'm expecting no3 at the weekend, iv had 3 mcs trying for this one, 2 early ones and 1 at 12 weeks. I'm on cyclogest pessaries this time. Desperately hoping this one sticks x

Mrs I know what you mean about symptoms but I've been pregnant 3 times (+ one chemical) and the only time I was sick was with my lost baby. I was sick 4 times a day and I thought it meant good things. I thought it meant twins. With dd and my current pregnancy and felt a bit more sleepy and had a little nausea but not until after 8 weeks. My boobs didn't even start hurting this time until 9 weeks. Early pregnancy is the worst but, here you are, a week further along than last week. One day at a time.

It's a huge relief purple and I sincerely hope all others worrying get the same outcomes.

Thank you nasch best of luck today but I reckon all will be well for you too! I almost feel now like it's time to let the anxiety go from my previous two mc but whether I can actually do that remains to be seen!

I don't want to spend the next 6 months constantly worrying and I've tried really hard to keep myself level headed this time. Instead of stressing I started to notice my worry coming out in other ways though, like panicking about germs as an example. I guess if we need to worry and cry and scream, shout and pull our hair out, it's best just to let it out.

Other good news for me is, although still tired, I've coped without the cyclizine for nearly 2 weeks and the last 2 days especially, I don't feel as rotten. We had a lovely family day out on Sunday and apart from being totally wiped out afterwards, I didn't feel ill and we had a great day.
There really is light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm hungry all the time and fancy a really specific thing each day.., then when I eat it I don't really enjoy it.

HCG is 2653. In line with 5+0 but at the lower end of the range.

On baby md it says between 2580-6530.

I thought i was 5+2 when the bloods were taken so then the range is 4420-10810.

I could have ovulated late but it's worrying that I'm only at the lower range of 5 +0...

Keeping an open mind.

I think that sounds positive, Purple. Mine would have been really high at that point because I was a week further along than I thought. I was panicking about molar pregnancy if you remember? Are you having them taken again?

Purple Don't worry too much about HCG, the ranges are massive. And having lived my life by levels for 6 months after a molar pregnancy I know there is no rhyme or reason, everyone is different. At the start of this pregnancy mine were very high and I was worrying about another molar. Are you having another test to check its rising or is that the second?

Mrs and MissClarke you're describing me! I'm constantly hungry and know exactly what I fancy. Nothing else will do but then nothing tastes great except chips or salt and vinegar crisps!

Thank you for all the good wishes. Scan shows everything fine, measuring perfectly for 10+5. EDD 24th Feb. I feel like I can start to say that now... Maybe I'll start telling family too!

I feel exactly the same Lynsey. DH is very positive and keeps asking if I'll stop worrying now. I think the answer is probably not! But I'm going to make an effort to be positive. 2 good scans = so much further than I made it last time.

Welcome Cuckoo, congratulations on your BFP! We'll all be hoping along with you.

Congratulations, Nasch, that is wonderful news x

Congratulations very good news!

Yes sorry my last message was in a bit of a panic

4+1 = 127
5+2 = 2653

So they have doubled every 48 hours.

They offered them weekly until about week 9.
Thanks for all your support ladies really appreciate it

I'm really sorry to hear this Mrs. I will be thinking of you

I'm devastated for you Mrs. It's not over till it's over. Feel free to pm me.

So sorry Mrs.

Aww Mrs I'm so sorry, I really hope it's not over for you. I'll be thinking of you & im so sorry. Be kind to yourself.

Nasch that's really good news.

Purple those levels seem good. They have high ranges as everyone is so different. Scans at 8 weeks are even 5 days out either way.

I can't stop eating in the evening, I've made a cheese & potato pie for tonight so I can eat it for hours.
The mum's guessed at baby group today as I look knackered haha.

Can't wait for bedtime.
