Thank you. I am not testing tomorrow as I think I need to give it some time and see what happens. If it isn't all over by Wed I will test again. In the meantime I am trying to distract myself, so am banning myself from B&B as all this fretting is driving me mad. Thnaks for the positivity and hopefully will be able to update with better news on Wed. Keep sending me that sticky dust xxx

Oh Hinky I think you need a big

Lots of sticky to you xxx

Hello all - looks like I well and truly killed the thread, sorry!!!

No more news here - haven't had any bleeding or signs it's imminent. Have booked an appointment with the midwife on Friday, assuming I'm still in the game. Must admit I am not feeling hopeful. I have a FRER to do in the morning, and have ordered some CB digitals online which should arrive by Sat, to see if I've gone up from 1-2 weeks at all.

I called the EPU yesterday (after my D&C the nurse looking after us told me to call as soon as I got my next BFP so they could book me in for an an early scan). Well, the woman on the phone totally brushed me off and said I need to make an appointment with my GP for advice. Needless to say I was totally crushed

Hope you are all ok. In other news DH is off this week and we took DS swimming today for the first time in about a year. He absolutely loved it - we drove to a pool in another town that I had heard was much warmer and more child friendly. He has almost a phobia of our local pool (where we did our aquababes lessons) and would be screaming before we even got changed -but luckily didn't associate it and had a whale of a time!! So some happy news

Hi Hinky :wave: I'm sorry the woman at EPU was so unhelpful, that was just what you didn't need Good to hear you've had no bleeding. Fingers crossed that you will get some really good news when you test in the morning x

That's lovely about your DS swimming! I bet you were so relieved to see him enjoying himself in the water again.

Well, after all my umming and aahing I've taken the bull by the horns and booked a private gender scan for 11am in the morning! I'm really looking forward to seeing LO again. We've not told anyone else we're doing it... I figured it will give me a couple of weeks of just me and hubby knowing so I can get used to it (you can tell I'm expecting to hear its a boy can't you?!). We're taking Fin with us so it will be fun to see what he makes of it!

Ah, can't wait to hear your news (I trust we're not included in the nobody knowing...) - hope they get a good view! If it is a boy, I bet you'll be used to the idea within 5 minutes of knowing, and thinking of all the brilliant things Fin and his new little brother will be able to do together. Good luck xxx

Bad news from me, I'm afraid

A very faint, barely visible line on the test this morning. Am going to try to get an appt with GP today. Am a bit worried now that my body is hanging on to a clearly non-viable pregnancy - hoping it's not ectopic or anything. Wish me luck in getting some closure; the waiting is the worst.

Hopefully the GP will agree it's time to start testing / investigating to see why all our efforts getting these eggs fetrtilised is going to waste. So frustrating!

 

[EverythingXd]

Oh Hinky I'm so sorry I don't know if you would have had some pain by now if it had been ectopic, I think they say it heightens at around 7 weeks but lets hope the fact you've had no pain is a good sign that it at least isn't ectopic. Sending you a big hug Hinky

Yes, I would like to share my news with you guys later today if that's ok x

 

[Rowan75]

hugs hinky am hoping everything is ok for you x

 

[Rowan75]

have a fab scan everything xd - love private scans so much nicer and great to get a dvd x

 

[dan-o]

Hinky I'm so sorry sweetie, you must be so disappointed, sending massive

Everything.. looking forward to your update later xx

 

[hinkybinky]

Just got back from GP - she feels it's too early to write the pregnancy off and wants to see me again in 2 weeks if I haven't miscarried, so they can scan me and see what's going on. She suggested doing a hpt once a week in the meantime. More waiting, even though I'm pretty convinced it's over.

She said if I lose it in the meantime then when we're ready we should come back and she'll send me for blood tests to make sure there's nothing going on. She seemed to think it is just bad luck, though, and said the fact we've already got a young child together gives us a lot of hope. She is the fertility specialist at the surgery so seemed to know what she was talking about. She said that statistically around 1 in 100 women will have 3 early losses and then go on to have a healthy pregnancy.

Was all very reassuring and positive, and I'm glad I went, if only so that there's a record on my file that this is the 3rd loss, and I won't just be told to keep trying when I go back.

Thanks for being so supportive, ladies

 

[EverythingXd]

That's good Hinky, and what a speedy doc's appointment you got!

I got a call asking us to go for the scan earlier because they'd had some cancellations so I'm back already! As expected, baby is a little boy. I can't pretend not to be a bit disappointed that I won't get a daughter... BUT... he's looking healthy and he's looking gorgeous! He looks a lot like Fin did in his 20 week scan

Here's one of the scan pics we got today. I've also attached a pic of Fin cos I don't think you ladies have seen my little monkey x

 

[dan-o]

Gorgeous pics of your boys!!!!

Hinky

I'm sorry you got another faint line but so pleased that your doctors appointment has given you a bit more to be positive about and fingers crossed that your bean will still stick.

Lovely scan picture everything and Fin is gorgeous too I'm sure both of your boys will have fun together in years to come.

I've been a bit quiet recently as I've had some bad family news. My gran has uterine cancer that is in its end, terminal stage. It's a real shock as she didn't tell anyone that she had it until she was hospitalised a week ago. We were told then she only had a couple of days but she's still hanging on right now. She knows about the new baby now (we were waiting until after 12 week scan) and she's really happy so that's a good thing at least.

Hope all is well with you other ladies x

 

[Rowan75]

ah hinky im so glad you got an app quick - keeping my fingers crossed for you x

congratulations on a boy Everything xd fin is gorge!

ah starlight thats such a shame im so sorry glad that she knows about the baby tho thats nice for her to know x

So sorry to hear about your gran, it must have been an awful shock for you all. It's some comfort that you've been able to tell her your news, and I suppose at least now you know things aren't looking good you have a chance to spend some precious time with her. Take care of yourself xxx

Everything - thanks for the update, lovely pics of both your boys! Great to have another chance to see your bubba - what did Fin think of it? At least you've got time to get used to the idea of another boy and there are a lot of positives in having two the same x

 

[starlight2801]

Thanks ever so much ladies, you're fantastic xxx

 

[ChelliBelle]

Oh dear :/

Hinky, i have everything crossed for you hun and i really hope you have got it wrong and your little bean sticks. However i am glad that your doctor is being supportive. Good luck hun.

Star- sorry to hear about your news. I think its lovely that you have had the chance to share your news with your gran tho and while sad at least that moment wasn't taken from her. I hope her last few days are pain free and comfort is given having her loved ones around her.

Everything! How fab is that scan pic! and your son is simply a cutie! oh how he will cause a few broken hearts when he is older lol....and now you'll have 2 of them! Just think of the delighful chaos the brothers will cause! Sp please for you that all is going well.

Rowan- how are things progressing for you?

Hi girls

Hinky, I'm keeping everything crossed for you (well except my legs from time to time, as I'm cd11). I really hope everything is ok and you are just less dpo than you think.

Starlight, I hope your gran is in the least pain possible and that she gets to see everyone she wants to in the next days and weeks. I'm sure it has been a terrible shock for you all, and am thinking of you.

Everything, congrats on the scan and I'm so envious of your two boys!!! My husband has such a close relationship with his mum, much better than mine with my mum. Plus he gives great hugs, he is 6'2'' and she is only 5'1'' so he envelops her!

All ok with me, fly to Malaysia on Sunday then Korea the following Saturday, back on 21st. Hoping to catch an egg before I go, it is DHs birthday (35) on Saturday.

Thanks, that did cross my mind but I've been getting bfp for a week now so I figure I'd have to be at least 15dpo Anyway, time will tell.
