LTTTC-after loss-TWW...

[mowat]

Scan is tomorrow. Got home from a weekend away last night. Woke up this morning with spotting. Has been on and off all day. I'm already assuming it is over. Guess we'll know tomorrow.

Oh gosh Mowat i really hope that its not, i know with your history that you will be thinking the worst but i so hope its something else!!!! Keep us updated thinking of you!!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

So so Hope it's nothing Mowat!!! I know how u feel it's so hard not to think the worse hope u get good results Today!!!

Mowat, fingers crossed. I had spotting early on too but it was a blood clot. I thought it was all over too. I really hope it's not true.

I almost started crying before the u/s tech even began. He could tell I was about to have a heart attack and said 1 second after putting the wand on my stomach "Twins, both with heartbeats". At which point I truly burst into tears. I can't believe it! Yesterdays spotting is how it usually starts so I couldn't imagine it being good news---wish I was religious because I would be calling this a miracle! No explanation for the spotting, but when I called my clinic she just said casually that it was common with twins. The nurse is making me an appointment to talk to the doctor hopefully this week. Never been so relieved in my life. Oh my, here I go crying again!

 

[nimbec]

YAY!!! Mowat thats AMAZING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how exciting xxxxxxx

 

[mowat]

Still keep thinking he must have made a mistake! Wish I'd gotten photos!

 

[Sis4Us]

Yay so happy for U Mowat!!!!

Woohoo congrats

Mowat, such great news! I thought it was twins.
What will your plan be for multiples??
You should totally ask for photo next appointment. I'm surprised they didn't give you a copy! I had early bleed & I started with two. I had a clot however my doctor also told me that it's common with twins.

Yay!!!

I have another bnb friend who had an SCH with twins. Must be common. I had it with my one this time so I know how you felt when you saw blood. So pleased you got good news.

 

[mowat]

THakns guys! Feeling a little better, mostly because of the u/s, but the spotting has pretty much stopped too. Wondering if it's just the progesterone irritating something? I was crazy busy on the weekend too, and did quite a bit of heavy lifting----lugggage, dog crates, etc.

No plan so far with the twins. I called my clinic today and the nurse was completely confused! You want to talk to the doctor why? Oh.... Talked to my regular nurse later in the day (she hadn't talked to the other one), and she was confused too. Couldn't understand why I would need to do a reduction. So, I guess we'll see. My OH and myself have talked about it quite a bit today and we'd definitely like to keep both if possible. I'd like to hear what the doctor thinks----I'll definitely need some convincing. Both heartbeats were good (135 and 155), so it looks like they are both fine so far.

 

[Sis4Us]

Yay twins is so exciting!!!

 

[mowat]

Talked to the doctor this morning (just after I had dropped my DS off at his first day of kindergarten! Ahhh!). She wasn't sure why she would have suggested the possibility of reduction. Maybe because they weren't sure of the condition of my uterus? Anyway, she is convinced I should be fine----so, I guess we might have twins? Holy cow. Wish we'd known what we know now when we ordered our new van 18 months ago. That optional extra back seat would be really great to have!

 

[nimbec]

Ahh thats great news Mowat!!!! Blimey double trouble how exciting!!!!

 

[mowat]

Pretty relieved.

How are you doing Sis?

 

[Sis4Us]

I'm trucking along its the only thing that keeps me sane!!

I went for my scan yesterday and as suspected nothing but a Lil left over blood was found so most like the MC was the spotting and clots 2 wks back my HCG is down so I most likely will O soon!!!

Trying for that fertile window after loss everyone talks about

 

[mowat]

Lots of luck!

Mowat, great news & congrats! I'm glad you have made a decision about twins.
You should be referred to a doctor who can deal with multiple mama's. I think generally that would be high risk pregnancy? What is your EDD??

Hey Erin, how are you?! Long time.
MY SCH went away entirely - I'm happy for that. I hated seeing the blood!
Wow you're almost 30 weeks!! WEEE! How are you feeling?

Sis, I am crossing my fingers for you.
Any game plan to help pregnancy stick next time around?
Any investigative work?

Hiya thanks for checking in on me. I've been pretty sporadic on bnb lately but trying to catch up in the last couple of days. I used to use slow times at work to keep up here, but work has been so busy lately, and when I'm home I'm trying desperately to get the house ready for another person (long way to go, sigh).

Barb that's great news that the SCH is gone! Yay!

Yeah 30 weeks tomorrow. Crazy! I can't even believe it. I see babies now and I just can't even fathom that I'm going to have one of those.

In general I'm feeling really good! Kinda achy, sometimes more than just kinda. But it's nothing I can't live with. It's sort of amazing the difference 4 years can make in what it's like to be pregnant, lol. Definitely more comfortable the last time, but that's okay. I'm definitely in the waddling stage now too.

Hope everyone is doing okay.
