Congrats Elochin and JenX!

It's great to hear some good news

It is certainly set to be a busy week next week on this forum, I wish everyone the very best of luck. I currently have all my fingers and toes crossed (it's making it difficult to walk).

In the meantime trying to carry on as normal, time to go and buy school shoes for my boys and get ready to return to work on Tuesday after the school holidays (boo hiss!) I had got used to being at home its amazing how much you can find to do with your time!!

School holidays one of the major perks to being a high school science teacher. TTC for months and months and months when in work and failed BUT succeeded as soon as school was out for the hols!! I think that says a lot about the job.

Good luck everyone xxx

Haha I said that I was trying to carry on as normal, well we got the shoes but then talk about fatigue hitting I felt like I could fall asleep whilst walking around TESCO. Actually had to leave with only about 10% of the shopping done!!

I'm taking that as a good sign, I came straight home and feel asleep on the settee

I remember with my first I slept through my OH very loudly ripping out the bathroom which was on the other side of the partition wall that my head was on. Returning to work is going to be interesting especially as I want to keep it quite until 12 weeks, I think the pupils may notice if I fall asleep.

Feeling much more positive today, as last time I quickly lost all my symptoms!

Hope everyone else is doing well xxx

Hi Shelby, and welcome. I actually haven't felt much this time- symptoms are very mild. But so far everything looks okay.

Jenna, glad you're feeling more positive!

Hi everyone

I just thought I would let you know that I had my scan yesterday and saw my litlle ones heartbeat and actually measured a day further on

However I do have some internal bruising right next to the implantation site and ave been told to take it easy and possibly take time off work until I hit the 12 week mark. I'm off to see my doctor this afternoon and hopefully all will be well and I look forward to seeing my little one again in 5 weeks at my next scan!

Hope everyone is ok x

Congrats on your successful scan Jenna mummy!

Hope everyone else is continuing to do okay. I have been having some on and off nausea this weekend so hopefully that is a good sign.

Good luck!

 

[JenX]

Glad you had a good scan, Jenna.

I've been having a rough couple of days. Yesterday would have been the due date for the first baby I lost, and that was hard to deal with. It has got me very down. I'm still very nervous about this pregnancy too, and haven't felt like eating. Then I worry that not eating isn't good for the baby. Worrying makes my appetite even smaller. Viscious cycle.

I went to the birth center today for a level check and your and it was absolutely lovely!!!

Well that's good news! Anyone have any scans or more good news to post?

Hi girls, well I am afraid I have bad news Went in for my appt this morning... no HB and measuring a week behind. My doc wanted me to come back for another U/S in the afternoon and it was the same so looks like MMC #5 for me. This journey is SO hard! DH and I are crushed, we really thought this was going to be the one for us. I am scheduled for a D&C in the morning. Hopefully my tissue will provide some answers.

Good luck and wishing you all a H&H 9 months!!!

I am so, so sorry. It feels so hopeless when you have loss after loss. Praying you guys get some answers.

Hi girls, well I am afraid I have bad news

BeachChica, I am so sorry for your loss. Nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing a baby with no heartbeat on the ultrasound when you hope for good news.

You will be in my thoughts. I hope you find some solutions after this horrible event.

 

[JenX]

Oh BeachChica, really sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you. Hope you get some answers.

I have some good news to share. I had an ultrasound yesterday evening at 9 weeks 5 days and the little one was still alive and growing. That is always the first question I ask the ultrasound tech, because she doesn't say much and keeps the screen facing her for the first 5 minutes, but I at least need to know if the baby is alive before she does all her checks!

We also saw it kicking and moving for the first time which was very exciting. I really hope this little one continues to grow.

I am getting an NT scan at 12-13 weeks, anyone else getting one of those?

Hope everyone is doing okay!

Hi

That's great news. I can't wait for my next scan at around 12 weeks, I'm going to call again tomorrow to see if I can find out the date.

Can't wait to see it moving last time it was just a beautiful blob with a heartbeat

Hope everyone else is ok, I am so sorry for eveyone with loses, you are all in my thoughts xxx

 

[blondee]

Hi ladies,

I hope you are all well. I'm so sorry that there have been a few more losses since i last logged on. My heart goes out to you all. Congrats to all the ladies seeing heartbeats though - great news!

Sadly - i had a natural MC two weeks ago. It wasn't a shock and we are doing really well. We are now being referred to a fertility specialist with a view to IVF. We are both feeling so positive and happily looking to the future. I just couldn't try one more 'hope for the best' cycle and be hurt again by yet another MC. I had a whole arm full of blood taken today to give me a full once over before the referral. Exciting!

I wish all of you health, luck and happiness on your baby journeys.

love,

Mich

Sorry to hear about your MC Blondie it's such a tough journey.

Hope the rest of you prego ladies are doing well!! :wave:

 

[Etoiles]

Blondee I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

I'm glad you are getting to go to a fertility specialist. I hope they can help you figure out how to solve this. You'll be in my thoughts just as the other ladies from this thread that have lost their little one.
