Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[Lumen000]

I am still holding out hope for you JDH...keep us updated.... thinking of you x

JDH - Praying for you. Fx that it is harmless bleeding, like many women can experience during the first trimester.

I'm freaking out a bit myself today. Last time I miscarried, we were in Chicago sitting at a restaurant eating and I kept feeling these weird little pulls. Almost like a moment of dizziness and would feel like I got pulled down a bit. It wasn't enough to disturb me, and I figured it was because I'd been on the train for several hours earlier that day. My m/c started some time that night. This morning when I woke up I was having those exact same pulls, kinda dizzy feelings. I haven't been in a train, or even a car. No spotting, cramping or anything, and my bbs still hurt like crazy. I'm hoping it's just sinuses making me dizzy as I'm very congested today.

But something feels kind of off. My head has that same exact weird feeling that I haven't had since the m/c in Sept. I went to bed feeling so hopeful and reassured. One more day til I am in week 6, and I've made it days past my m/c. I was only 5+2. I thought I was home free and feeling positive for the first time since my BFP, so I don't think it's nervousness making me imagine things.

I had a funny miscarriage head about six weeks. I know just what you mean. I sat in and cried for a day but it cleared overnight.
And as Sod's law, some mc symptoms overlap with pregnancy ones because dizziness and pulling sensations are common pregnancy symptoms. I've had both at one point or another x

 

[mackjess]

Thank you GIY. That is very reassuring.

Hi Mack--It is hard to go through another pregnancy after MC. I keep looking for the same signs as I had last time I had a MC. All it does is drive me nuts. There are some symptoms that overlap with miscarrage because of all of the horomone level changes.

I freaked out today because my bbs weren't very sore this morning but I was naseous. Then after a nap I had a little light brown/tan discarge. It was lighter than what I had last weekend when it turned out to be nothing. I called my doctor and haven't heard anything back. I've had some cramping but I've had cramping the entire pregnancy so far. I also go up to go to the bathroom and then also had to throw up. I know I am driving myself nuts. I don't have another scan for a week or so when I'll be 8 weeks. I am petrified that it'll be a MMC since we saw the heartbeat at 5w5d. When does this stress go away? When will we just be able to be happy to be pregnant???

I promised myself I wouldn't go crazy with worry this time, but every time I get a few mins sick free I start to worry..... I felt like a heavy low feeling this morning...I keep saying if I lose this one I'm giving up trying again, but I know I'll put myself through this again if this time isn't meant to be x

 

[girlinyork]

Kara, its meant to be. I'm sure of it. Your risk is so low once you pass 8 weeks. I get a few days off the sickness here and there but I know little blobby is safe and sound xx

 

[Shashua]

Ooh jfg, look at that perfect picture Congratulations! x

To those ladies who had scans at 7 weeks, did you need a transvaginal scan to see the heart beat? Just want to know if that's what's normally needed - that bit where you have to go and empty your bladder to see if they can get a better picture is frightening xxx

Surprisingly enough, they did not have to use transvaginal on me either!

 

[Shashua]

no personals today as my brown spotting turned to red yesterday and it's still going. It's not super heavy but enough for me to worry. It almost feels like a light period, and weirdly my period was due yesterday. I am not having any cramps yet, not what I know to be a MC anyway, but they could always get worse as the day progresses. What I don't understand is why i'm bleeding when doing double progesterone? I thought progesterone was supposed to stop bleeding?

So i'm highly expecting my BETA tomorrow to have dropped and to find that this is miscarriage number 6 I just don't get it. All of my tests for MC issues are normal, yet I just can't get any to stay put? They say 1 is common, 2 is unlucky and 3 is something wrong - so what's 6?

I really feel like giving up now, I just can't go through the heartache anymore. Maybe our destiny is adoption. I just wish I could give DH a baby of his own. I want to give birth and feel the bond that others get so easy.

Sorry for the downer, but I just don't know what to do anymore.
I most likely won't be back on until tomorrow evening when I find out my number. But I will let you lovely ladies know how it goes. Keep me in your prayers.

Praying for you! Keep us posted!!

not really sure what's going on. I'm still bleeding and it's very much like the end of a period, red but I could go all day with one sanitary pad if needed. Only having slight cramps and haven't passed any clots.

Nurse just called with my BETA and it's now 2490

Previous one was 557! That's a doubling time of 33hrs! I'm so pleased and am going to relax a bit now. They're going to get me in for another on Wed and just hope that it's gone up again. Nurse said it may be breakthrough bleeding or could be that only one has stuck She was very reassuring and said that they would have only expected my numbers to have gone to about 1400, so she said the fact that it's quadrupled told her it was quite a strong one

God I hope it's going to be OK

I'm in a bit of shock! I totally expected her to tell me it had gone down!

 

[A1983]

Yey JDH, I'm so pleased for you-and what a horribly stressful 2 days this must've been for you. But those numbers are fantastic! Have they been that high before?

 

[girlinyork]

JDH I knew everything would go well

 

[JDH1982]

Yey JDH, I'm so pleased for you-and what a horribly stressful 2 days this must've been for you. But those numbers are fantastic! Have they been that high before?

Thank you. It has, and still is, very stressful, but that BETA does relax me a bit!

I've never got past a BETA of 500odd before a MC so i'm very happy at the mo. Just need the bleeding to stop now

Got to keep praying for another good one on Wednesday

 

[mackjess]

JDH hun, that is awesome news!

bethneebabe - how are you feeling today? I know it's so hard to be PAL. I just keep thinking positive and praying for myself and all of you ladies.

AFM - weird twinges/pulls from yesterday quit and didn't come back. No spotting or anything yesterday or last night so that was good news. Also had a Chinese food craving and made DH go get me some. I thought I'd wake up this morning and be doing a big happy dance that I made it to 6 weeks, and that I'd feel relieved. NOPE. Instead I'm even more worried. My tummy felt tight when I woke up, my boobs don't hurt and I haven't had a craving or any nausea. AAARRRRGGGHHH. Now I'm even more nervous about my appt Thursday. I wish I hadn't told the family over Thanksgiving. I'm so scared now that it's not going right.

 

[ladykara]

JDH- that's fab news, I'm so pleased they came back so high... X

Mack- it's so hard to stay positive when you know how common MC really is, and I can't ell you not to worry because I worry too, but stay positive .... Thurs will be here before you know it and I'm sure all will be good.. X

Did anyone see a thread in 1st tri about a women who said she is scared about MC since joining the forum with all the threads on MC being posted and how she didn't think it was common and is now just terrified it will happen to her ? She ended up MC the day after she posted it... So sad I remember pregnant with my son and you just think your go full term, didn't have any clue how common MC was thought it was a rare thing u read in magazine.... I wish I was sheltered like that again.

 

[girlinyork]

I think I'm going to avoid the first tri board. The miscarriage threads make me feel awful. I can't bear it

 

[JDH1982]

I agree. I'm not venturing into first tri, there are too many negative posts that just make me worry.

I'd rather be with ppl like you that know what it's like, and know the best things to say when we have a scare or feel down, to keep us thinking positive.

Your positivity and care kept me going this weekend x

 

[girlinyork]

When I said that a sub-board for miscarriage concerns might be a good idea I had my head bitten off :/

 

[mackjess]

Thanks ladies. This thread was the first one I joined after my BFP, and I love how positive it is. I don't even go to any other pregnancy forums since everyone here is always so helpful!

I feel better about Thursday because I ALMOST barfed. LOL, weird how that will make you get better. Haven't been sick yet, but man has it been getting close and a little worse every day. I grabbed 2 pieces of mint gum, ran to the bathroom, and prayed and prayed not to get sick. Getting queasy is PLENTY of reassurance for me!

I have a feeling by tomorrow I may not get off so easily.

 

[girlinyork]

Ahaha isn't it great Jess? I felt sick while eating something I actually enjoyed. It was a strange sensation but I sort of relished it haha x
