beanieb, I TOTALLY agree with the last post from lala.

I only had very small amount of bleeding and period cramps which by all purposes sounds to be normal and i rushed off for a scan. otherwise i would be in blissful ignorance thinking all these symptoms were good news.

P.s. (TMI) dd making pushing noises to beat the band and dh not here to change the nappy.

hiya

I am going at 7 weeks 4 days. They are scanning me early because I was on clomid and that's just the date they gave me. Am sure it will be fine, am just going through the usual scares I guess.

hi all!
how is everybody today? my boobs are not so sore anymore, still feelingg nauseaus though...don't know what to think...will not go for a scan until next thursday am in the end as dh said it's better to wait, at least we will be sure...try to cheer myself up, saying that if something bad happens, we will go to thailand or malaysia!! (well, it's kind of making me feel better)

hi girls

Am absolutely SICK with nerves about tomorrow. I find myself daydreaming of the best possible scenario, then i talk myself out of it and have daynightmares of the opposite.

DD is an absolute NIGHTMARE this evening - possibility of chicken pox as half the nursery is down with it and she tantrums if you even look at her sideways. I sat on the remote which turned off Peppa and she screamed for ten minutes.

DH does not know what to do with me anymore, I'm snappy and hungry and sick and hormonal and depressed and hopeful, depressed and hopeful, depressed and hopeful.

BUT less than 24 hrs to go, please say a prayer for me

Hi all.......after reading your posts I'm really worried, I went for a scan last wednesday 13th May, I was convinced I was 8 weeks but scan said baby was 6.5 weeks and that it had died, well I had an ERPC the next day, now I'm really worried that baby was not dead and I aborted him/her, how acurate are the doctors and did I just accept what they were saying too soon? The fact that I had to have ERPC was devastating and this has just topped it off, really sorry to be talking of this on PG thread but really concerned, any help would be appreciated.............

Good luck lee for tomorrow, fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you, and lalatv good luck for next week...

LeeWT · 21/05/2009 19:43

hoops I dont know what to say.. they must have been very sure. Sometimes they can tell by the form of the baby that things arent right (something to do with yolk sac or something?) but I'm not sure, am so new to this.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Part of me thinks that they are really only humouring me by bringing me back tomor.

Would it be worth asking for a chat with the midwife or dr that treated you to ask a few questions? i know that i always think of questions afterwards..

thanks for your good wishes and am thinking of you,

lee x

hoops997 · 21/05/2009 19:51

yes I am going to speak to the Doctor next week but part of me thinks that I don't really want to know because if they did get it wrong then I have done the unthinkable......they must have been certain surely?

Well anyway there is nothing that be done about it now, in your case lee they must have some hope because they have asked you back for another scan, all they did for me was schudule a ERPC!

LeeWT · 21/05/2009 20:01

if it was me i would have to ask but i'm a pushy so and so!

they say that you are even more fertile than normal after a MC so if you feel ready you could acost your other half! if its bad news tomor i intend to try and get pg asap..

temara, temara...

katster37 · 21/05/2009 20:11

Hoops you poor thing to have gone through that. I think it is fairly normal to have anxious thoughts afterwards. I am sure they would be able to tell the difference between a baby that had died and a baby that might just not be as far along as they think. If there was any doubt, they would not have done the procedure. I had an early scan at 6+5 and there was a heartbeat, and baby was measuring 5.8mm. Seriously, they would be able to tell. Also, how sure are you of your dates, because if you are regular, you should be able to work out whether it would have been possible for you to be 6.5 weeks. Big hugs, and also to everyone else on this thread. So stressful. x

LeeWT · 21/05/2009 20:16

katster said it much better than me!

im sure they would never take the risk..

hoops997 · 21/05/2009 22:08

thanks lee and kat, yes I'm sure they would be 100% sure otherwise they wouldn't have carried out the op, as for jumping on my other half, we are going to have a real big party this weekend so you never know I could be joining you on these threads very soon with another BFP! The best thing about this all is that I know I can get pg and that my body does work.......

Thanks for all your comments and I wish you all the very best luck in the world, just hope I can join you all soon x x

Liskey · 22/05/2009 08:51

hoops997 I felt you did after a mmc last year - kept wondering afterwards if it had been a mistake. Logically I know it wasn't I had 3 scans and I knew the last one was at 8 weeks and there should have been a heartbeat and wasn't. They did know I'm sure but its just part of the grieving I think.

LeeWT · 22/05/2009 17:29

Well girls I went along to scan and unfortunately it was bad news.. Am still hopeful for the rest of u on this forum tho and am trying to be positive.

Am all about the wine and comfort food now..

Thanks for all the support and hope x

mowmi · 22/05/2009 20:49

Lee - I'm so sorry, the same thing happened to me in January. Have 2 weeks to wait to see if this pregnancy is viable and I'm very scared. Take care of yourself x

hoops, i am sure these guys know what they are saying....last mc, they saw that embryo had not grown as much as it should have at the second scan and i wanted to made sure and waited another week to confirm...then before erpc, asked again..that was really true...
i am so sad for lee now, take care....

lala i'm so sorry i contemplated not posting at all as i didnt want to upset you but figured you'd know by that too..

every situation is different and all you can do is hope its not natural to give up home.

This is my first MC but the midwife said this doesnt affect your chances of carrying the next one safely so i am trying to be positive. i have to get through the actual MC so there's still a lot to be sorted out but for my little girls sake i have to try and move forward.

will be checking in to see how you get on hon
and thanks to everyone for all the support..

dear lee, i know what is like when you have been hoping for them to be wrong but they were not...it is such a shock...unfortunately, i have gone through that twice already and i u said u needed to be strong for ur child and appreciate her even more...for me this 3rd mc will mean more as i will then agree that the mcs were not down to luck only andd i will definately to investigate this further... i have gone through a lot with 2mcs and 1 cyst but i guess it's life and there is always worse...i wish u all the best for the future and will keep u updated...although my hopes now have gone down...thinking of u...xxxx

hi girls, just to give u an update, i went for an scan today and everything was fine(for now!)....baby 7weeks and 3 days with heartbeat! i was sooo relieved but will still worry until i have a healthy baby in my arms i guess...i heard the risk of mc is lower now that there is a heartbeat...is it true??

OP posts:
hoops997 · 27/05/2009 17:38

that's great news lala , of course you are going to worry all the time, it's natural.......I don't think you would be human if you didn't worry!!

triggerhappybaby · 27/05/2009 17:39

Yey 4 lala - going for mine tomorrow but not even a shred of hope given the amount of blood my body has chosen to donate to my pants over the past 2 weeks. At least it will be confirmation of what I already know and I'm quite reconciled to it now. Onwards and upwards!

lalatv · 27/05/2009 18:07

thanks! Let's hope you will still be ok tomorrow trigger...but i found it important to be prepared for whatever the situation....good luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of u!
