Hi
My first was a complete miscarriage at 8w3d in 1995. I'd stopped taking anti-depressants and come off the pill to TTC. I fell pregnant first cycle. The news didn't go down too well with the wider family and it was a very stressful time both during and after the pregnancy. I'd started to bleed and cramp in my 7th week, and was told by the hospital it was a threatened miscarriage. The scan showed a strong h/b and I was sent home. I miscarried that night.
Once all the stress in the family died down, we tried again and after only one period fell pregnant with my gorgeous son who is now 14 years old.
My third pregnancy ended this Christmas at 10w3d. I'd had a great pregnancy, with lots of strong symptoms. I'd been a Mirena user for 7 years and had the regular coil for the 7 years prior to that. LMP was 14 October, Mirena was removed 18 October, and I fell pregnant that cycle. Unfortunately I contracted swine flu in the run up to Christmas and started spotting Christmas Eve. I passed clots Christmas Day and an ultrasound on Boxing Day showed the baby had died. I elected for a natural miscarriage at home and passed my darling baby on Boxing Day night. I'm back to hospital on 4 January for a follow up ultrasound.
We're planning to TTC again once I've got my strength back from the flu and blood loss. However, given that the last 'normal' period I ever had was in March 1996 I've no idea what my cycle is or when I might ovulate. I may have to come back for some advice on that one!
Babydust to you all.
