December Rainbow Babies!!! Congrats New Mom scoobydrlp PINK!

Welcome Wendyk07! Congrats on ur BFP!!!

My next scan date is the 5th May and I will be 10 weeks :)
 
I feel a little better which is scary, now I'm worried something is amiss :( never happy eh?!

I'm so sorry to hear of your stillbirth :( must have been so hard. I lost my last child at 25 weeks. Was there a cause or can it just happen with twins??xxx

It was due to placenta aging. Major thrombi to placenta (blood clotting). And, I was tested for blood clotting issues but I didn't have a clotting issue.
 
Hey ladies!

My first scan is on May 4th when I am 7w+4d. I am really excited. Trying to stay positive even though I have no nausea. Have other symptoms though at least. The 4th seems so far away.
 
Want2bemommy, I have just read your journal story about the loss of your daughter. That is really really sad, Im so sorry for your loss and other losses. You must be a very strong woman. That would have been so devastating. Your daughter was beautiful. Im glad that your son pulled through xx
 
Awwwwww wanttobemommy, so sad :( did the twins have separate placentas? Things get so much more complication with twins don't they? I'm already high risk because of my angel babies issues and I've very overweight!! How much more risk can I get?!

My sickness has come back with a vengeance -anyone got any tips? Retched so much tonight my tummy hurts :(

When is everyone planning on announcing? I'm scared to after what happened last time but can hardly keep twins a secret until 15 weeks (when a scan will show whether there are any issues or not )

Hugs xxxx
 
I'm really afraid I'm not going to make it to the announcing stage. The brown discharge is a bit more today. I am so worried my low progesterone is trying to trigger my uterus to shed its lining. Hcgs still good. 10080 yesterday at 5+3. Know I should be resting but just had a really busy 11h shift at work. 9 days until my scan still.

Try b6 for the nausea Donna. It might help.
 
I think they didnt because it would have affected my son too. Though I almost lost him but that was because he was choking himself with his cord. Yikes. Thank God I am not using that hospital again or live close by. Have you tried gingersnaps/lemon heads(sour candy). Ginger ale? Try those they are your best friend so is anything with pepperment. Not sparement. I am trying not to tell anyone til my 9th week. But, I'm so excited. Plus, my bump is about to give it away soon. Lol.

Lala have you asked your doctor about low progesterone and getting the supplements? Dont know what it is about docs in Scotland but their not the biggest advocates of progesterone. If I were you Id present your case to him that you think you have it and ask to try teh supplements. If they refuse then say that you are happy to pay for them on private prescription if they will do that. You can then buy them online but still need a private prescription...just means you pay instead of on NHS!
 
Welcome Wendyk07 !!!

When is your due date?

Wiggler: That is horrible! I hope someone cancels so that you can slide into their spot. My office is very difficult to ring as well. They never answer except first thing in the morning!

Donna: We won't announce until 15 weeks showing or not and only to my family, not the whole world. I will have to let people know at work after I stop being able to fit my normal uniform though, no hiding it then. I will keep it low key though and just say we are expecting for the third time in a year. That should give people a clue.

LalaR: There is generally a lot of discharge during pregnancy, so it could just be that. Unless it is bright red, you should be ok. The red stuff is the scary stuff and even then I woke up soaked in blood and still delivered DD at 39 weeks.
 
Hi, can I join? Just had my scan today and I am measuring at 5w2d with EDD 12/23/12.

I had a MC in Dec at 5w2d due to presumed ectopic - had two shots of methotrexate and had to wait 3 months. I got the OK to try naturally in March and got my :bfp: on 4/9!

I go back in two weeks for my next ultrasound/appointment.

:flower:
 
Just did a FRER and the control line is darker than the test line :happydance: Sooo happy, never had this last time.
 
The test line is darker than the control line is what I meant. baby brain :rofl:
 
Welcome Crystal!! Sorry to hear of your sad loss but yay for your BFP!!! Xx
 
I asked about the progesterone supplements because my blood levels were low but was told - no , what will be will be. Epac said they wouldn't even bother testing so no luck there either. I'm tempted to get my friend to write me a script but it could get us both in trouble. I know that discharge could be normal but this is how the first loss started - just 10 days earlier with much much lower hcg levels. I think my losses have scarred me for life. Also gutted to find out that I don't qualify to have my losses investigated and treated because I am 3 stone over the weight limit! Fed up feeling on my own in this.
Sorry to be a misery. I am really happy for you all that things are going well. L x
 
Welcome Crystal5483 !!!

Wiggler: Congrats!! You sucked all the dye out of that test LOL.

LalaR: That isn't fair. That is basically putting the blame square on you. They should at least do the testing before they default to that! There is another BnB member in the TTCAL forum who has lost 3 stone during her TTC journey. Maybe you could contact her to see how she has done it? Or maybe she has some advice for how to deal with the doctors?
 
The annoying thing is that 8 months ago, just before my first loss, I was 4 stone lighter. The misery and stress had me turn to chocolate!! I know what I need to do to lose it again but can't do it properly if I'm pregnant and bleeding. I would still rather be pregnant and bleeding than have another loss and be able to do intensive exercise though!!
I never ever thought that my quest to be a mum would have so many trials in such little time. Please keep your fingers crossed and/or pray for my bean. L x
 
Lala what were your numbers? Yours were way better than mine to begin with. How are you doing hun?

Thank you for the Welcomes!
 
Ugh, I know exactly what you mean! Everytime I get pregnant I stop exercising. I am terrified that any amount of exerted effort will affect the baby. When I lost my first, I never lost the baby weight. When I lost my second I lost my appetite for a while so I actually lost 1 stone simply being sad. Emotions have so much to do with weight! Praying for little bean Lala.
