Hi all I’m so new to this.
im 43 and fell pregnant after trying for 3 months, this will be my 3rd. (2 teenagers)
I tested faint positive on 3rd just, the tests got very dark this week.
took myself off for a early internal scan yesterday as I have had brown discharge and some period like cramping and scared to hell of ectopic.
I was told there is a sac in the right place but no yolk or fetus. My sac measured 10mm which they said was 5 week.
im still having sore boobies, the worst back pain and sickness/headaches has just started yesterday.
really just after some reassurance as this 10 day wait is going to be so painful.
thanks in advance 💜💙

Good luck today. Thinking of you x

Hello, it’s not good news I’m afraid 🥺 my sac was measuring 25mm with 2 yolks in. Nothing else. I’ve opted for a D&C tomorrow at 7am. Thank you all for your support and for helping me be ready for either outcome.
i wish I’d have followed my gut, last weekend when I was having cramps and brown discharge was definitely not normal. There was also a bleed on my sac which could have explained the brown discharge. Xx

Hello update 🥺
I had my d&c yesterday. The hospital was perfect I felt so cared for. I was in and home for 2pm. Had bad cramps yesterday was given codeine to take home so kept topped up. The bleeding wasn’t heavy and has kinda stopped now 🤔 no cramps now either.
boobs and nausea stopped immediately. No pregnancy symptoms thank god. It’s almost as if nothings happened today.
min having the rest of the week off work because I do feel a bit emotional but as of Monday it’s a new week new start and back on the proceive max for us both for a few month. 💪🏽
hope everyone is doing ok and please stay in touch on here with your scan outcomes etc. be lovely to hear some positive outcomes now 🩷🩵

Hi lovely!
glad you had a positive experience with your d&c, I also have had very little bleeding! But have had some cramps on and off and so much bloating, this has gone down a lot today though!
we will be TTC when all clear, but trying not to put too much stress on it so probably won’t involve my husband too much in the tracking etc process! It was just so stressful last time for us, I think I put a lot of pressure on the whole thing… Good luck!! Xxx

Mangotango39 · 02/08/2023 11:18

@Wen19 I am pregnant now 🤗I will be 12 weeks on Friday x

Wen19 · 02/08/2023 11:35

@Ems1992 i was trying to find your thread to ask how you are doing. 🩷 I’m glad you are doing okay too 🩷 I’m having like pulling pains on my right lower side but same as ovulation pain(ish)
thank you for preparing me 🩷 I really appreciate it. And I hope we are both pregnant soon 🩷 💫

@Mangotango39 aw that’s great!!! So positive thank you! How long did it take? How do you feel? I’m scared I’m going to be more of a nervous wreck next time. 💫🩵🩷

Hi all. I went to EPAC today as still bleeding, was excellent, so much knowledge and information compared to the private place that was basically 👋. Still the same as Sunday, sac, yolk and not fetus. Said sac is perfect no irregularity and right size etc but that obviously would expect to see fetus. Back in a week but getting cramps tonight so think the inevitable may just happen itself. I don't know if we'll try again tbh which makes it more sad, long story but feel like can't go into it right now. Been feeling slightly hopeful but tbh think I know whats coming with these pains (nurse said today could happen if miscarriage was to take place) she also said she thought would know before came in next week so looks like she was right

Wen19 · 02/08/2023 17:55

Aw darling 🥺🩵🩷 I’m sorry. Has the blood got heavier?
did they say how big your sac was?
if you feel like you pass this please keep doing pregnancy tests to check it’s all gone. 🩵
if you feel you need a chat inbox me 🩵 I’ll be thinking of you tonight. Xx

Thank you. I thought the blood and pain was worse last night but hasn't come to anything. Isn't much there today and no more pains. I'm really upset today tbh, more so than have been (worked the past three days and it's been busy). I'm not eating or sleeping well, feel like I can't go for a run that I know would help (had been eating a bit better and started running, sure how I got pregnant tbh) and I'm being awful to my partner and my lovely kids. Just want this to be over. I feel like this experience has completely ended things for my partner and he'll never agree to try again. The pregnancy had been greeted by shock and a bit of 'omg how will we cope' and now into this. Just feel so sad have never really been able to feel happy or excited and probably now never will. Sorry for the rant, bad morning. I've been an almighty cow to everyone and am just brain dumping I think

Wen19 · 03/08/2023 11:08

Aw honey no. I completely get how you feel! 💔
the cramps and bleeding just subsided with me too which left me even more confused.
I know what you mean about the trauma taking it’s toll, i was really tearful and snappy for that last week before the 2nd scan. That’s why I went for the d&c I didn’t want it going on any longer than needed.
I actually feel fine today. I feel like I could go back to work but I’m going to just go back Monday. (I work from home still anyway 🤣)
im sure if he knows how much this means to you he will consider? 🥺
not eating is not good! You need the nutrients more than ever now. I was the same…. Try a banana every now and then if you can or a hand full of berry’s. A glass of full fat milk 😘 as for sleeping…. Well I’ll be honest this past few days I’ve had to take some nytols to knock me out due to over thinking.
I'm thinking of you chick. 🩷💜💙

@Marchbug how are you feeling honey? X

Thanks so much for thinking of me and asking @Wen19. So kind. Very grim! Discharge continues, some episodes of light proper bleeding which I think will turn into something but doesn't. Some cramps but nothing consistent. Just want it over, waiting til Weds feels so cruel! (Am sure this absolutely cannot have a good outcome, like 100%)

Wen19 · 06/08/2023 19:14

@Wen19 aw darling 🥺 i felt the same but the day before my scan I got a sudden burst of positivity which made me feel all was going to be ok when it wasn’t. are the cramps with lower back pain?
im going back to work tmro. Definitely needed the week off I feel it did me good! X

@Wen19 it wasn't good news for me either. I was expecting it, but still. Just waiting to go for d&c now. Had awful afternoon of pain yesterday which has now eased. Will be glad once done. Terrified of the GA

Really can't decide what to do re: work, does anyone have advice. Wouldn't be back in until Monday anyways

I am in the same boat, I return tomorrow and I had a two week sick note. I’m an absolute workaholic and spent the first 3 days on my emails… everyone said I wouldn’t last the full two weeks off, but now I’ve had it I don’t feel ready. I am a MH nurse and talking all day to people about their trauma/troubles I don’t know how I will manage… I never thought I would feel like this! It isn’t necessarily the baby situation, it’s the effect it’s had on my marriage and its really rocked me emotionally.

Marchbug · 10/08/2023 18:44

@EmsEms1992 feel very similar, line of work with many similarities (nhs too). Also very much feel guilty being off and am thinking of things need to do and people am meant to be seeing already, and impact on colleagues in depleted AL time. I declined the sick note but wonder if should've taken it just in case.
