Oh @moonpeace I am so so sorry. The ladies on the recurrent loss page are great and have loads of knowledge on the recurrent miscarriage clinic tests etc.
I know this is very difficult for you but have you had a scan? Also if this is your 3rd definitely phone the epu as they may be able to do some tests on the baby to check for genetic issues.
It's so difficult and life can feel so bleak when you are going through repeated loss. Talk it out if you can.
DM me any time if you want to chat.

I am so sorry to read this @moonpeace. Sending lots of love and hugs xxx

Paranormalbouquet · 03/12/2018 09:28

Moonpeace I’m so so sorry to hear that. I had my 3rd miscarriage in January/February this year and it was a very dark time for me. Agree with Miami re getting genetics if possible and a referral to a good rmc clinic.

Iswallowtoothpaste · 03/12/2018 10:25

So, so sorry to hear this @moonpeace.

Utterly devastating Flowers

I’m so sorry to hear this @moonpeace sending lots of love and hugs also xx

AnneLovesGilbert · 03/12/2018 10:57

@moonpeace my heart goes out to you xxxx I am so sorry you're going through this, again Sad

I agree with the others, make sure you get to the EPU, get looked at when you can face it. Is something with you?

How are your movements today @Miami81? Picked up I hope but go in if you're worried.

So sorry looking, I completely missed your message yesterday, didn't see it at all! I know you're right about work, I did say to DH the other day (we work together) are we going to look back on this pregnancy and only remember the late nights working and project deadline stress! When I know wtf's happening with my contract I'll relax a bit.

Love to everyone today.

moonpeace So, so sorry to read this. Thinking of you and sending lots of hugs. If you ever need someone to chat to, please let us know.

Miami81 Hope the movements picked up since yesterday. You should go to the hospital every time you're worried, that's what they're there for.

Miami81 · 03/12/2018 14:03

Hi ladies
Movements seem ok again today. I am keeping an eye. If I feel they quieten down again I will head off to the hospital.
Thanks all

I'm so sorry @moonpeace. I had planned to go to Dr Shehata's private clinic in London if things weren't working out this time. If you Google his name you'll find a website that has prices and contact details. Get what bloods etc you can on nhs then they'll do extra testing. Will save money if you do some on nhs.

Hopefulforourrainbow · 03/12/2018 19:18

Good news here. Measuring a few days ahead so 13 weeks today. Scan took ages as she struggled to get measurements with baby wriggling around so much. Have been told I can stop the cyclogest! Yippee!

Lambaman81 · 03/12/2018 19:27

@Hopefulforourrainbow - so nice to hear you got through this key milestone. So pleased for you

AnneLovesGilbert · 03/12/2018 23:56

Such wonderful news hopeful! Really happy for you, it’s the best feeling. Do you feel more relaxed knowing all is well in there?

Mine wasn’t wiggling but it was facing down so she couldn’t do the heart measurements till I’d gone for a sit down and inhaled a bounty bar which got the baby to turn around Smile

Hopefulforourrainbow · 04/12/2018 06:01

Baby was in all sorts of positions! Yes much more relaxed! I'm going to try to enjoy being pregnant now. Can't wait til I can start feeling movements!

whiteonesugar · 04/12/2018 09:52

Moonpeace I am so sorry to see this :(

@hopefulforourrainbow Fab update I am really pleased for you!

I have been a bit quiet, just trying to get through the days / weeks. Had my final EPU scan yesterday - 10w3d today - we saw baby who looks less like a blob now! Heartbeat, arms and legs and blood flow through the cord. The Doctor said all looks perfect and the lovely lovely sister who I've seen every time i have been to EPU was there and she was so lovely i almost cried.

Had my booking in appt with midwife yday too which was fine, lots of tick boxes! And my 12 week scan is 2 weeks tomorrow.

I am trying my best to stay really positive and enjoy it now, apart from DS this is the farthest i have got in pregnancy so I am taking it as a good sign.

Love to all.

Hi all
Got my BFP in September, big surprise was on the mini pill!!
Miscarried in October.
Had big problems getting my hcg to drop.
After 7 weeks at EPAU ( think they have had enough of me) and my level still not below 20, have decided to let me do a pregnancy test in 2 weeks.
Only problem I have started to get full on pregnancy symptoms gain.
Anyone else had this?

looking4hope · 04/12/2018 15:46

Hi all, unfortunately I lost the baby. My waters broke one day ago and today there's no heartbeat and no amniotic fluid. We're absolutely devastated. I'm 15+4, so I'm in the hospital getting ready to start labour soon. Best of luck to you all, you're all absolutely lovely and I wish you happy and healthy pregnancies.

Iswallowtoothpaste · 04/12/2018 16:00

@Looking4hope so upset to read this update. So, so sorry, I know words aren’t enough. Devastated for you Flowers

Kayleigh121 · 04/12/2018 16:16

@looking4hope so sorry to hear this. Sending lots of love and hugs devestated

@lookingforhope I'm so sorry to read this. Thinking of you and sending lots of love and hugs xxxx

Paranormalbouquet · 04/12/2018 16:26

Oh Looking I’m so sorry to hear this. I hope things go physically as smoothly as is possible and that you are getting as much support as is available.

Miami81 · 04/12/2018 17:09

@looking4hope I am so so sorry. This is heartbreaking.
I don't know how set up your hospital are for memory making options etc, but even if it doesn't feel right at the time try and accept whatever is offered in terms of footprints, keepsakes, etc.
Aching arms, 4louis and many other charities help out with that.
Our memory box with dd's footprints and photos in is my most cherished thing in this world.
Please dm me if you need to talk to someone about your beautiful baby. HmmThanks

Miami81 · 04/12/2018 17:10

Oh my I have no idea why the weird smiley is on that message. Goes without saying that was a mistake.
