Hi Ladies, mind if I join? I love the gifs btw! I'm due November 14th which I actually just now thought about it and that's roughly about the same time I found out last year we had a mmc Praying these are our rainbows!

 

[dairymomma]

Thanks ladies. Will pop in with an update when I know more but as of a half hour ago, my labs weren't back yet and everything stopped last night. Only thing I've had today is a small swipe of tan discharge. I still feel like it's over though.

jlw - welcome!

Dairy - any update?

Hi all,
Im mum to 3 children, including Jett my angel.
Isla is 7, Amber is 5 and Jett would have been nearly 18 months...
We have been trying for 4 months and i got a bfp last weekend.
A little why Im here:
I had a horrendous pregnancy with Jett.... i had unexplained pains which they thought was apendicitis but wasnt, i fell straight onto my belly at 17 weeks and had a dreadful pain constantly duevto ripping my absomen off my pelvic bone in late 2010.
I went in at 40+1 for induction.... they did the gels and he was kicking like crazy... then went quiet.... i figured he was getting ready for his grand entrance. Early next morning they went to check him.... and couldnt find his heart beat, i had an emergency csection... they managed to get a heart beat at 18 mins and put him on life support, but it was too late - he was brain dead. He was born at 7.07 am and i removed his life support at 12.55 .... he passed quietly 2 mins later.
I never got to see his eyes or hear him cry but the time i had with him ill never forget.
After 4 months of trying we now have a bfp and as excited as I am. .. Im scared to death.
I have had 2 blood tests last week... tues hcg was 35 frid it was 174... gotta go back tuesday again, then hopefully ill be referred to a specialist.
Sorry for the essay lol.. .. hopefully we can all have the rainbow we are looking for.

Sweet-nope. Still waiting. And getting unhappier with my dr by the minute because I BEGGED for a scan last week...And still in limbo. Passed another dime sized blood clot (this was a clot this time), had red staining on the tp, and my back/belly ached after the clot last night but nothing again this morning. AND I feel pg. Big boobs and nauseated. After the clot came out, I thought "I'm kickin' this thing into gear" so I started doing some housework trying to get the aches to build into actual cramps. But nothing else happened. This is so frustrating...I don't know if I should hope or not anymore.

babe - welcome and congrats on you BFP. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss and we are a part of a club that will probably never feel safe during pregnancy.

Dairy - that is really not cool that they would leave you waiting all weekend. Glad to see that bubs is being persistent through fx that means good things!

Hope you're ok dairy

Welcome to the new ladies :wave: I'll add you to the front page when I have a few minutes.

Well my hopes to stay blissfully ignorant have been dashed today. I'm spotting. Only a tiny amount but it's still so scary to see. I've rung the epu and they're going to see me two weeks on Wednesday when I'll be 8+2. I'm feeling very calm about it cos my symptoms are soooooo strong. Like the strongest I've ever had before. I'm so tired all day long, I have all day nausea, my breasts are still very sore. I'm emotional. I think that deep down I have a feeling everything is ok but maybe that will change in a couple of weeks Who knows

 

[girlinyork]

Oh, I just responded to this on the Facebook group. Didn't realise that was you. Keeping it all crossed for you as always of course xxxx

Afm, I'm sick as a dog today. Typical it would kick in the same time my 21 month old gets explosive diarrhea

 

[dairymomma]

Em-just replied on your pg journal but thinking of you and sending I know how scary spotting is during a PARL pregnancy. I'm still going through it myself. again.

AFM-Hcg came back at 13000 on Friday (FINALLY got my results...) so doubling time is around 62 hours yet, progesterone popped up 2.5 points in that same time too so good signs there. Nauseated and sore/heavy feeling bbs this morning so awesome signs there too. No clots last night either. Just two blobs of pink tinged opaque discharge and some minor achey stuff for the evening so very nice to not see red. However, I'm not convinced I'm out of the woods. I'm just at the start of my danger zone, I've been known to m/c after this sort of bleeding, and it just doesn't seem like it could possibly be a viable pg if I've passed clots like that. So my sig stays as-is until Thursday when I'll have this confirmed one way or another. It would hurt too much I think to put my ticker back only to find out things went bad.

 

[girlinyork]

Really hoping things turn out well for you dairy xxx

 

[dairymomma]

I'm starting to hope again but it's hard not to face what I feel is going to be reality too. 9 times out of 13, clots have meant the end so why should #10 be any different, right? I know I passed clots with LO but they were very small and I didn't have cramping at the same time. Nor did I pass one a night for half a week. The regular spotting/discharge, I can handle as I know I've had it and made it to term and the progesterone can be causing it too but the clots are another story. That's why I'm still in limbo...

I woke this morning to a liner full of light tan discharge, not sure if it's considered spotting or not, but have this annoying dripping feeling. I'm going to be inspecting lots of TP today. I very lightly checked my cervix and it feels very tightly closed and the cm around it is creamy white. I took a weeks estimator test yesterday and got 2-3 so I feel at least a little confident this pregnancy is progressing (I'm not getting betas drawn) I know the test isn't terribly accurate, but with my mc in July I didn't make it past 1-2 and I was over 5 weeks (3 since ovulation) when I took it.

I'll be thinking of you ladies today and checking in.

 

[girlinyork]

Oh Kwynia, how stressful Hope it clears up soon and its just some old stuff working its way out xx

 

[mommychris]

Hey Ladies

Embo how's the spotting? that's so scarry... sorry that you're going through it... we all know that it's "normal" but that doesn't make it any easier. Hopefully it's lightened up for you.

Dairy good news so far! good luck at your scan on Thursday!! it's going to feel like forever!!

kwynia you too!! big hugs and hope that discharge has gone away!

girlinyork.. hope your lo is feeling better!! hope you're feeling better soon too!!

hope all of the rest of you are doing well.

afm, well I have my scan tomorrow!! so anxious/excited to just know either way... the ms is killing me I am no longer eating chicken or meat... or yogurt... lol afraid to try fruits and veggies.... sigh... I'm going to be huge... it's like my first pregnancy.. only carbs... hopefully this doesn't last the full pregnancy like my first.. caused me to gain over 100 lbs!!!!

 

[SweetV]

Em - I'm so sorry to hear about the spotting. Glad they will see you and 8 weeks is still amazing to wait!

Dairy - I'm so glad to see that things are going in the right direction. What time is your scan on Thursday. I'll be thinking of you while I'm waiting for mine.

klsltsp - yay for scan tomorrow!! I'm so excited for you!!

kwynia - I'm sorry to hear that you are having off coloured discharge as well. Will you be having an ultrasound at your first appointment?

Mommychris - welcome! Congrats on your BFP!

afm - worried to no end last night as I had no symptoms all weekend long. It was DS's birthday and I'm wondering if there was just too much going on and my body was in go mode. I felt horrible this morning. Slept through my alarm, was dizzy and nauseous all am weird to say that this made me feel better mentally. My boobs don't hurt any more and that was always the first sign with my mc's.

Also... there is a fb group?! How do I get added to this?

 

[kwynia]

Someone mentioned on my journal that my oral dose of prometrium could cause changes in vaginal discharge, so hoping this is the cause. I will be getting an ultrasound at my appointment, I'll be 6w4d. My OB usually does a scan at 8 weeks, so it's not too much earlier than normal.
