@Indreamland and @fuckmyuterus I’m so pleased to hear you’re both doing a bit better. The UTI sucks but at least that’s all it is. Thanks for updating us guys.

Feel better after therapy, I’m being referred to a specialist perinatal therapist as well as doing this current therapy because it does help day to day. Also called in New Look, if any of you guys are starting to get a maternity wardrobe I can really recommend because their stuff is on sale and it’s actually nice stuff.

@FuckMyUterus glad everything is ok.

I spoke too soon. Went for a wee and now brown on my panty liner. When i wiped i swear out was a slight pink colour. Panicking again now.

@InDreamland this could be linked to when you went to the toilet earlier? I have had the pink after straining. You could ring the EPU for some extra support sometimes talking it through helps.

FuckMyUterus · 09/07/2018 16:21

indreamland sounds like u possibly have what I have. The bleeds that bleed not very much but for ages take ages to go away according to the sonographer, as they're in a 'moist' environment they can't heal very well so can bleed little bits for weeks :(

@FuckMyUterus so glad everything is ok!

InDreamland · 09/07/2018 16:57

Thanks @purplesmiler and @FuckMyUterus. I phoned the EPU and they suggests I could go in tomorrow to be checked but unlikely can be scanned as they're fully booked up. Said they're very busy which makes me anxious that so much can go wrong. Apparently peopke don't bleed at all but miscarry and others do bleed but go full term.

@InDreamland try not to worry (I know it is easier said than done) - have you had any cramps - apart from the bad stomach? Is it worth speaking to midwife / EPU? I would if you can.

Boobs might not hurt but I did throw up my lunch today - what a strange world where I was almost pleased about this as I sat on my work toilet floor. Pregnancy does strange things to all of us!

purplesmiler · 09/07/2018 17:08

@InDreamland it may be worth going to the EPU as they can have a look at your cervix but also when I went the Doctor who examined me really pushed I was slotted in for a scan on that day.

cryptonaut · 09/07/2018 17:26

Hi everyone. I apologise now for the long rambling post.

I finally had my scan this morning, almost couldn't sit still as I was so anxious, my appointment was a bit late as well so the wait didn't help. Had DH with me and he kept me calm by talking about other things and joking around.

When we went in and the sonographer first found the baby I was genuinely shocked, it really didn't feel real until then, over the past day or so I'd almost convinced myself that they wouldn't find anything and that it was a phantom pregnancy or that something had gone wrong and it would be bad news. I couldn't help it, I just started crying and laughing, poor sonographer had to wait for me to calm down as it made my stomach move so much.

We confirmed a single baby. I could see the heart beating (nice and strong) and the baby was moving around a lot at first, it probably didn't like being prodded at lol or it was responding to my reaction of seeing it. After a while it calmed down so we were able to get measurements and we also did the NT screening. Due date has been moved back 2 days to 16th Jan, and NT well within normal limits. Had bloods taken as part of the screening but expect this will be ok as there was no indication of an issue.

DH and I decided to take the whole day off work for this, it's been a very good day. The good news with the pregnancy, then we saw my best friend as she was off work today too and showed her the scan photos, then a massage which was extremely relaxing, then DH and I spontaneously went swimming as we were melting at home. Hope to have more days like this.

InDreamland · 09/07/2018 18:26

@cryptonaut it's nice to hear everything is well with your scan.

@Wowthisisreal and @purplesmiler I think i will take myself tomorrow to the EPU as I'm so worried about this. I'll see what they can do but not holding my breath for a scan if they're busy, I was told on the phone that if my scan is Friday it's unlikely they'll scan tomorrow. Apart from loo trips lastnight I've not had any pain but so keep feeling some mild fluttering type cramping, it's a weird feeling.

Morning ladies hope you all managed some sleep last night I found it a bit cooler.

@cryptonaut pleased everything went well with your scan and you had a nice day.

@InDreamland hope you got some rest and the EPU help today.

Each time I had to pee in the night I woke up feeling sick and am feeling that way now. Going to try and eat something to see if it settles.

InDreamland · 10/07/2018 09:12

Thanks @purplesmiler. I'm in the EPU waiting area now. Couple of people ahead of me I think so will be a bit of a wait. I feel sick from the anxiety. Hope your nausea subsides.

cryptonaut · 10/07/2018 09:51

Fingers crossed for you @InDreamland hope you don't have to wait too long.

purplesmiler · 10/07/2018 10:22

Hope you arent waiting long @InDreamland sending hugs.

Just eaten way too many biscuits to try and calm the nausea feel a right greedy pig.

InDreamland · 10/07/2018 13:22

Thanks ladies. Seen nurse, doctor amd had scan and it's bad news. Waiting to see doc again but think it's over. Reckon I've had an early MMC. Devastated. Taken us 5 years to conceive.

@indreamland, oh I'm so sorry Sad. That's so awful to hear, I hope you have a lot of support around Flowers

purplesmiler · 10/07/2018 13:39

@InDreamland I am so sorry for what you are going through please take care xx

Buttercup53 · 10/07/2018 13:47

@indreamland I’m so sorry to read this, to echo what others have said I really hope you have support to lean on during this time x

FuckMyUterus · 10/07/2018 14:13

indreamland I'm so sorry. Been there and it's the worst thing. Hope you have lots of support, take care of yourself.

InDreamland · 10/07/2018 14:14

Thanks ladies. I just feel numb but worried about DH as he's with me but I know how much he's wanted a baby, like made clear he wanted kids before we got engaged. Last 5 years have been so hard, we were so relieved and happy for last 6 weeks since getting BFP. Even this morning nurse did teat on urine and test is also BFP. So this is just a massive blow. Still waiting for doctor to see us again.

OP posts:
purplesmiler · 10/07/2018 14:24

@InDreamland my advice would be you both need to take it one day at a time and be kind to yourselves. My DH was upset with the world initially when we had our MC, very much why had this happened to us and I probably closed up to begin with due to feeling numb.

Sending hugs to you both x x

FuckMyUterus · 10/07/2018 14:47

indreamland the cruel fact of it is that most ladies test positive for 6 or 7 weeks after actually passing the baby during a miscarriage. It's just one more way to kick you whilst you're already on the floor. I'm so, so, so sorry this is happening to you.

jennac · 10/07/2018 15:39

@InDreamland sending positive thoughts and love your way. Life can be so unfair. I really hope the doctor can give you some answers and hoping that this conception means you can do it again. Take care of yourself x

cryptonaut · 10/07/2018 17:52

@InDreamland so sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you in this difficult time

Wowthisisreal · 10/07/2018 19:21

@InDreamland I am so so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you.
