Lucyfur

Miscarrying again:mad:

Cramping way more than last time but bleeding isn't as heavy so far.


Waiting for doc to ring with a time for a scan.

Grawns

I'm so sad for you Lucyfur. Big hug!

Lucyfur

Tests are still positive, which is normal enough.

Have a scan on Tuesday morning. Bleeding has stopped completely for now.

I don't really know what to think. With the last miscarriage, ALL my symptoms of pregnancy vanished. Boobs disappeared over night, so did my wee pot belly. This is totally different. My boobs are still huge (for me:o) and I still feel pregnant. Will see what the next few days bring.

Doc said to go for the scan regardless of what happens between now and then.

barbiegirl

Oh lucyfur hope it's only a threaten. Take it very easy and have the scan. Big hugs

I'm cramping so think period on the way feel like a fool getting my hopes up still I know my baby is around the corner. :-(

dublinlady

Lucyfur I really hope ur ok, what a terrible waiting game to be in, I really hope you can relax a bit and mind yourself over the weekend, we'll all be here for you if you need support, x

Barbiegirl, hope the waiting isn't driving you too mad like it does to me! Stay positive and as you say, even if it does come it doesn't mean you won't be pregnant this time next month!

I have pregnant sister in law coming for the weekend, she's really lovely but can see myself feeling v.jealous!!
Ovulating in the next week tho so have that to focus on!!

Tigeress

Oh Lucyfur I'm so so so very sorry.. Try to keep your hopes up maybe it's just sympthoms of a MC but it's not an MC.. If there is anything I can do let me know huge hugs xxx


My cramps have started to get Alot sharper today hope it's not a sign of things going bad.. On the upside the cramps are less and less frequent.. In tomorrow for more bloods, guess I'll find out then.. Staying positive in the meantime!

galah

Lucyfur & Tigeress, my thoughts are with you! I am hoping for ye it'll all come good and this is just a little scare but nothing serious!

(still following this thread, and am hoping for all you wonderful ladies out there that babies will follow really soon!)

xx

Lucyfur

Ye're so good ladies:)


I spoke to my doc and a nurse in the EPU for ages today. They're so nice:) My bleeding has eased off completely but the cramping is still coming in waves. I'm being as positive as I can but if I'm completely honest, I don't think this pregnancy will result in a baby in my arms:(

newbie!

Newbie never say never.....unless you have your period, I wouldn't take that negative as a definite just yet.
I have been swotting up on the various pregnancy tests on the market.

Clearblue measures 50MLu's of HCG (pregnancy hormone), so if you were
early on in your pregnancy; it may not register on that test yet.
Whereas First Response measures as low as 6.3MLu.

Thanks a million for that. In the end I just stocked up on pregnancy tests and ovulation sticks on ebay. Waay cheaper than the chemists.

This is a really good thread. Full of great information and real stories. Good luck to all of you. Lucyfur I've only been reading your threads for 24hrs but I really wish you well. Will say a little prayer for you tonight.

caprilicious

Lucyfur & Tigeress, my thoughts are with you both. Please God you will both be ok x

Lucyfur, if its any consolation I had a 3 day bleed in week 8 & went on to have a healthy little girl.
My best friend bleed continuously throughout her pregnancy & also went on to have a healthy baby.


I really hope it all works out for you both and that all is well x

Barbiegirl I know exactly how you feel. Today would have been 14 days past ovulation for me, I woke up at 6am to test, got a (6th) big fat negative & for some stupid reason was devasted. I cried my eyes out.
Wouldn't you think after the first 5 negatives this month I would've got the hint!
Still no sign of aunt flo though. I wish at this stage it would hurry up and happen so I could close the chapter on this month & start again next month.

Newbie - no probs, I found Ebay great and also I recently found an Irish website http://www.inhealth.ie
€11.99 for 20 tests, bargain!
Big difference between €0.60c per test there versus the chemist prices of €10+ for digital tests :eek:

Thinking of you Lucyfur, u must be out of your mind with worry, Please God you and your little bean will get through this x

Tigeress best of luck tomorrow

Lucyfur

Morning everyone:)


Had an ok night, cramps didn't wake me up:)

Still cramping but bleeding hasn't returned. I really don't know what to think. Guess I'll know exactly what's happening on Tuesday.


Hugs and baby dust to all:)


Tigeress, thinking of you this morning, hope your bloods go well xx


Thank you so much to everyone who has us in their thoughts. I'm not religios but I'm praying to whoever will listen to me:D

Grawns

Fingers and toes crossed for you Lucyfur and you Tigress. Me - I got my period yesterday which was 29 days since d&c. Was very upset Think it was a combination of having to start trying again, Lucyfur's news and hormones. Have enjoyed my month off trying to conceive.

So far it's not too bad ( normal really) as I was fearful of really bad cramps, clots and bleeding post d&c. It's different for everyone but that seems common enough.

Tigeress

Hugs to Grawns & Barbiegirl.. Sorry to hear the dreaded P arrived hope you're ok!

Lucyfur hope you're ok hun, I hope Tuesday comes quick & that you get good news!

I got my blood results back everything looks great thank goodness! My hormones have double & the mid wife said she is delighted with the results! They've booked me in for another scan on Mon 9th May I'm beginning to actually believe that this is our peanut & it'll be fine.. Looking forward to the scan to see our baba now!

Tigeress

Oh Cordub I'd love that hehe

dublinlady

That's great news tigeress!! Now just try to relax and stay positive!!!

Hope your ok lucyfur and that the cramping is ok, my friend bled on and off the whole 9 months when she had her 3rd son, stay positive for your own and the babas sake! I'll keep everything crossed for you , x

Just a qn, probably silly, I have a really bad cold and chest infection at the mo and in general feel rubbish, can this affect ovulation?

Lucyfur

Brilliant news Tigeress!! I'm delighted for you:D


Dublinlady- I'm not fully sure. Are you on an antibiotic?


I'm feeling a little better. I spent the day lying in the sun with my mommy, it was lovely, she's the best:D

Cramps have ease and the bleeding hasn't started up again. I'm beginning to feel a little bit hopeful:). It's AMAZING how a few hours of relaxation makes you so much more rational. I feel lovely and chilled:)

So sorry this month wasn't for you

I was in with my gp today & had a great chat about things, put my mind at ease a lot, so feel a lot more positive about this month

Lucyfur, great that you're getting to chill out today, it'll probably do you the world of good.

Tigeress, fantastic news from the hospital; I'm absolutely thrilled for you!!!

Around 12 months talkin, that's if there are no other health problems. Hope you're ok x

I'm not sure what the steps are as I'm not trying 12 months yet. A lot of ladies here are trying 12 months and much more. It's a trying and emotional time. I think the first step are bloods to determine whether or not you're ovulating, and at what stage of your cycle it's occurring. As far as I know, this test is done in two stages, once before you would be expected to ovulate and once after. I would presume a scan would be arranged, to check the health of the ovaries and uterus.


I've had scans, they weren't clear but they didn't show anything that would hinder conception.

Tigeress

Thanks Ladies delighted and super positive!

Lucyfur I'm glad ya had a relaxing day with your Mum ya can't beat a Mammy Day keep positive it might not be anything bad hun! I'm not religious but I'll light a candle for ya xx

How long are you off the pill? With some pills, it can take months and months for fertility to return to normal.

talkin
