Vicki hope you feel better soon

Tina - i am happy Lukas is such a good baby! He looks like such a sweetheart in all the pictures - which I love seeing!

Becky and Megan - looking forward to seeing pictures of your little ladies!

Afm, think its time I stopped testing! Test today was lighter today than yesterday, so I freaked! I knew about the hook effect, so added about 1/2 water, 1/2 wee and sure enough the line is darker! My dh was like this is not some science experiment! The geek in me loves this kind of thing. But seriously I need to put the tests away and not test anymore. They are just the cheapie ones (I was on a strict budget for the frer's and the digi's! )

Just on a countdown now, my appt is at 2.30pm. I am working from home this morning, so hoping it goes quickly! 6.5 hrs to go.....

I had the exact same thing! A random lighter test and it totally freaked me too. I haven't heard of a hook test though...

Praying you get some reassuring answers today Lotte.

So, finally back at home

Rory was triploid, so he had three set of chromosomes. The chances of this happening again are very small, i am not increased risk of having another miscarriage than the normal population, because it was a spradic loss. It was just bad luck That its happenned twice to me.

Funny thing is, this is soemthimes linked with partial molar pregnancies! In this case it wasn't though, there were no molar cells found.

We also did a quick scan, saw nice gest. sac which measured 5 weeks / 5+1. And we saw a small yolk sac. Which was exactly what i was hoping for. I don't need any otherr scans additional apart from one at 16 weeks. I may pay for one though in two or three weeks time, if everything goes well. Finger's crossd.


Thanks for all your thoughts, it means alot. I am glad i have answers.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Xx

Lotte, glad you got some answers and so pleased about the scan. Great news xxx

Lotte: So happy that you got an ultrasound today and that things are looking good. Also pleased to hear that you got some answers about Rory. I know it must still be very difficult, but I find getting some answers provides a bit of closure. Praying that everything goes perfectly for you in this pregnancy.

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Lotte I'm glad you have answers now. It's good your not at an increased risk. Lovely to hear your scan went ok.... Boo to them not offering you more but at least you can pay for one if you need reassurance. Sending you lotsa love xxx

 

[jacky b]

Lotte, I am so glad you have answers and its nothing that will impact on this pregnancy. I hope you find peace in having the answer and pray that you can enjoy this pregnancy. So good to hear that the scan went well. Glad there are options for having more scans even if you have to pay. Thinking of you constantly and so glad you have answers (ive checked on my phone every feed during the night for your post) xx

 

[Angelcutie]

Great news lotte so happy for you!

 

[Rafferty]

Lotte this is wonderful news! I'm surprised they aren't offering another scan. I'd definitely be tempted to pay for one out of pocket too. I hope the first trimester flies by for you!

 

[B&LsMom]

Rest in peace sweet Rory!! I'm so thrilled they did a scan and you could see your itty bitty bean!! Eight weeks would be a great time if you do another scan-- you can see so much more and then you will have the reassurance from hearing the HB at your next appointments after that via the Doppler.

 

[ihave5boys]

Lotte-congrats and prayers are with you that all will turn out good.

I am feeling better, i took tonight off work just to not expose anymore then i have there. Still trying not to think about when i should start and just be prepared for it. I am now 35 days into my cycle but if i ovulated late then i will wait till at least next week to retest and the longer i can wait the better for me i think.

Lotte - I'm glad you got some answers and reassurance for this pregnancy. I look forward to hearing your updates as your pregnancy progresses! x

 

[Angelcutie]

Question ladies- when you went for monthlies did you count exactly 4 weeks from your last negative or went by the actual date? So if my last negative was Jan 2nd do I go 4 weeks from that or go Feb 2nd? Thanks!

Hope everyone is doing well- this past week was the first time I didn't need blood taken since the d and c and it felt weird, I almost bought a pg test just to make sure but i dont want this controlling my life, I hate this waiting time- so scared I have more "empty eggs". If molars are contributed to "bad luck" then why does our chance of having another one increases? I just want a baby so bad this hurts so much

 

[vegasbaby]

Angel: Good question. I want to know too! I have my last weekly scheduled for next week and am looking forward to the break. I have the same thought about why do our chances go up if it was just bad luck. Mine was a partial molar and how am I supposed to prevent more than one sperm from fertilizing the egg (which was obviously a bad egg to let something like that happen)? I'm scared to death of this happening again. Part of me wishes I had money for invitro as there seems to be so much more control. I hate not being in control of this. I hate that this ever happened to me and everyone else here. I'm sorry you are hurting, but all we can do is be positive for the future. Hugs.

 

[Lottelotte]

My hospital told me monthly meant 4 weekly. That suited me better cause i used to go on a sunday first thing else i ended up having to wait ages for them to take my blood!

On your other point, yesterday i was told by the fetal medicine specialist that these things are one offs and don't increase your chance of miscarriage. I am hoping that is true!

Xx

 

[Angelcutie]

Lotte thanks for your input, I was hoping it meant 4 weeks. That's great news from the specialist as well!

Vegas- I'm so glad there is someone out there who understands exactly what I'm saying. It brings tears to my eyes for your hurting, my hurting and eveyone else's. I think the not having control part is what I can't deal with. That and the fact that I'm anxious over finding out of this will in fact happen again when I go to try. I brought up invitro to my gyno and he laughed and said that's not necessary but it def has crossed my mind as well. We are only a few weeks apart from reaching negative, How many months are you waiting again?

 

[Mummy2Corban]

The thought of another molar is very frightening but with time I felt the need to try again started over ruling that. When I fell pregnant the worry started again but I guess that's natural. From what I've read/ other ladies stories its so very unlikely you'll have another especially if you've not had treatment. I believe in most cases its the original mole regrowing. We are all here to support you through these times of worry. It is all so tough!
