I defo think the best way to go is a D&C. Its quick and you can get on with it without worrying if everything has gone or will you get infected and shit...

LO is doing ok since last night, have eaten tons of sweets to get her moving so i feel like a porker but what the hell. I have my glucose test Monday morning so i hope i dont get bad results from all the shit ive eaten this weekend...

 

[grandbleu]

Sorry I haven't read through all the threads this AM - I promise to do so later but I'm in a right SH*&^Y mood this morning as showed her hateful self this morning in full RED glory and evil cramps. I guess I'm officially out for an Xmas BFP...I give my December baby dust to anyone left in the running for this month wish everyone all the best.

Hi Raz- I understand using plans to help you deal with things, and it makes total sense that you don't feel nearly as upset as the other times. But please, take care of yourself both physically and emotionally and try not to just block out the feelings. I admit that I am guilty of just putting my feelings aside too, but sometimes they show their ugly head why I least expect it.

As for the D&C, I think in your case this seems like the best option. If it was obviously starting on it's own, I would say a natural mc is better, but I know that I couldn't go too long knowing the inevitable was going to happen. It seems most of the other girls are happing that they chose that route and I think it could help speed up your healing process.

AFM- my natural mc was nothing like the first one I had, which granted only at 5.5 weeks before. The first night when the major cramps and contractions started I passed the embryo and some other stuff, the cramps stopped, and I thought the worst was over. Man was I wrong. Almost two days later (yesterday), we were downtown shopping when the cramps came back full-force, maybe even worse than the first time. When I got home, I passed something huge, maybe 5 x 1 inches, which I assume was the placenta? After that, the cramps are completely gone and I have only a little bit of bleeding. sorry for TMI, girls.

In a way I'm proud of my body for doing this on its own, but at the same time I am worried about infection now. Maybe I'll need a D&C anyway...

 

[Allie84]

Oh, Amy, that sounds just awful. Why are you worried about infection? My guess is your doc would like to scan you to make sure everything's gone, and if it is I bet you'll be fine. It sounds like since you are only bleeding slighty now that the worst is over. Thinking of you.

Raz, since yours is a mmc is a d&c the prefferred option for you? From everyone's stories it doesn't sound like the anesthesia isn't too bad and at least it leaves the ambiguity out. Thinking of you, as well.

Vicky, I'm happy you're feeling yoru LO move, and my bet is the sugar will out of your system for your glucose test. In any case, I doubt it's relevant because they are going ot pump you full of sugar anyways. Good luck.

Raz I think having a plan is a good idea. I found with my third loss that I felt numb for a while and the sadness/grive hit me in waves. I also would recommend the d&c option I had one with first and third loss with a natural in between. I just didnt feel strong enough to wait for it to happen naturally especially as each time I didnt feel like my body was going to let my baby go. The one piece of advice I would give is make sure when you come round to eat and drink and have a pee as once your doing that they will let you go my first one they kept me in a bit longer as my blood pressure dropped I've never drank so much sugary tea in my life all to get my blood pressure up so I could go home. With my third loss they sent our baby of for testing (not had the results back yet) but they should be able to do that for you as well if you have the d&c if thats what you want. I'm so sorry your going through this it is a heartbraking time, here for you

Dazed I am so sorry the bitch got you she sucks and sorry she's treating you and hearty so badly god I hate her sometimes. to you both.

Allie did you have a good day yesterday? Did you go to see a film?

Vicky yay to feeling little one more and I would worry about the sugar.

Megg hope your little ones are getting nice and cosy

 

[Dazed]

DOWN WITH THE WITCH

 

[Megg33k]

It sounds like a hard morning in Disco Towers! I wish I could make it all better, girls! I'd take all the pain and disappointment away if I could!

 

[heart tree]

Raz I've only had D&Cs but I'm glad I did. The first one I didn't have GA and it was awful. The last two were with GA. I was under for probably 15 minutes total. I remember being wheeled in and then waking up when it was over. I was glad to have it all out of my body so I could move on. I'm glad you have a plan. Plans help me move on as well. Good luck tomorrow.

Amy what an awful experience. I'm glad that it seems like it is completely over now. You should get a scan to make sure you passed it all, but don't worry yourself too much about infection or having a D&C.

Grandbleu, sorry about the witch. You will be cycle buddies with me and Dazed now. The witch sucks.

Vicky, glad you could feel your LO. I'm sure things are just fine in there.

I start my Femera today. Bring on earlier ov!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Sad news all round for my discos. It was our baby's due date today. I've done very well all day - my parents came down for the day so that was nice talking about babies and stuff. I feel very sad now i'm at home and quiet though. I miss my angels so much, I hope they're looking after my baby and helping it be strong so it can meet us.

Hugs to all xx

 

[yogi77]

Raz, thinking about you and glad to hear that you have a plan too look forward too

Amy so sorry for what you are going through right now, yesterday sounds awful, I hope you are feeling ok today.

sorry the stupid ho-bag got you Grandbleu

woohoo Hearty, good luck to you!!

 

[heart tree]

Hugs to you Cesca. I'm sure your little angels are looking after your baby now. You have your forever baby in there. Take care honey.

 

[Megg33k]

Oh.. How hard, Cesca! I'm so sorry! I'm sure they're giving your little one all the advice they can so that s/he will grow big and strong and finally be in your arms the way they weren't able to be.

 

[Megg33k]

Okay... Everything I read today makes me sob uncontrollably. So, I think I'm going to walk away for a bit. I can't imagine that its good for me. This is about the 5th thread in a row now... So, its nothing against you girls. Just people saying things about their own struggles that are hitting pretty close to home today. And, I'm realizing that its almost the 1st anniversary of my 1st loss... in 3 days' time. Not good for me at all. I'm going to go eat something and snuggle with my husband and puppy and try to be thankful for what I have instead of heartbroken for what I've lost.

 

[LucyJ]

Grandbleu sorry I missed the witch had got you too, damn her.

Woo hoo to hearty starting on the meds and getting ready for Ov.

Amy I'm so sorry for what you have been through sounds so scary

Cesca to you I'm sure your angels are looking after you and your little one.

Megg I totally understand needing a break you've got a lot going on as well I think having some food and snuggeling up with your hubby and puppy is a good plan. Dont stay away too long though we'd miss you too much

 

[heart tree]

Ok Meggles, do what you need to do for yourself. I've certainly taken a break from here as well. Please let me know when you receive the blanket though, so I have a little peace of mind that it got to you ok. They told me you should be getting it tomorrow.

Take good care honey.

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Megg thats a good idea, especially when you need to be at your best physically to grow those embies. I have to avoid threads and situations a lot, not as much now but earlier on I really did.

Thanks for the nice words girls, I had a cry watching Glee earlier and feel a tad better now xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Dazed]

Gunna miss you meggie moo! Take all the time you need.

As for me, I took my depression out on my mixer and made marshmallows! YUMMY!

Hope the rest of you girls are fairing well!

 

[Megg33k]

Oh girls... I meant hours, not days! Don't be silly! Lol. I am going for a nap though. Apparently my 9 hours last night weren't enough. Growing embies/blasties is hard work!

 

[Dazed]

Sorry for the confusion megg, but I wouldn't blame you. You have more important things to focus on!

 

[sugarlove]

Hey girls.

Megg sorry you're feeling emotional.

I had a great night last night with my mate. Had lovely meal and drank plenty of prosecco. Today, I have the most vicious horrible AF cramps. Am holding a hot bottle against my tummy. to everyone who has evil AF!

Just watching X Factor. Matt to win, although I think Rebecca and the lads have done really well too!
