On the road again graduates

[Topanga053]

Thanks ladies! And no, Left, we haven't DTD for over a week (we're staying at my mother in law's so opportunities are a little harder to come by!), but that's the first question my doctor asked too!

Anyway, the apt went really well. We heard the HB on the Doppler and the doctor said he could hear the baby moving too. He offered me an ultrasound if that would make me feel better, but I turned it down since our gender scan is on Monday (kinda regretting that now lol). He said everything in my abdomen feels normal too, so he thinks its just "one of those things." He said to avoid DTD until I've gone at least a few days without spotting and to call if it happens again.

Red- any updates on you? Symptoms? Any more spotting?

 

[SusieC]

Good news Topanga- glad ur apt went well.
Red- glad ur symptoms r back x

 

[Left wonderin]

Red hope all well with you and spotting has stopped . Susie thinking of you xxxxxx

Susie love, I can't get you out of my mind. The similarity of your situation to my last pregnancy is so similar. I went in for my 6 week 3 day scan and all they could find was a tiny 6mm sac that had no evidence of fetal pole, yolk sac, nothin. My heart goes out to you and I am hoping for a miracle and if that doens't work out, the strength to get through this yet again. Be strong!

Afm... no spotting since that one time. I went and laid by the pool for several hours and it was nice. Today I woke up feeling icky again and was relieved when I threw up (first time) unexpectedly. I've also had a headache all day and just felt exhausted. All of this makes me much more secure.

Topanga those are great news!!! so so happy for you!! you're definitely finding out the gender on monday then? awww so so curious to know!

and Red - it sounds so silly to say, but - i'm so glad you're feeling sick and that you puked (doh) what a pregnancy can do to you is totally insane!

 

[rayraykay]

Great news topanga!!!! Can't wait to hear if you're having a boy or girl!!! Yeehaw! Any feelings or predictions one way or the other?

Red- so glad you got to relax by the pool. That sounds amazing right about now. And as odd as this feels to say, yay! You puked! Hahaha but I was super relieved when I puked for the first time at 11 weeks so I totally understand. It was so reassuring.

Left- what do you think you're having?!! Boy or girl? What does DH think?

Susie you're constantly in my thoughts.

 

[SusieC]

Thanks guys for your thoughts. Off for more bloods today. Trying to stay strong. I'm still having lots of pregnancy symptoms but think its the progesterone, I also had lots of symptoms with my MMC.
Red- glad ur feeling sick - lol!! The only time it's ok to say you're glad someone is sick!! R&R by the pool sounds like heaven
Left & Topanga - v exciting for gender scans

 

[Left wonderin]

What are the bloods for today Susie ? Goodluck .
Red that all sounds so good the puking and the lying by the pool lol........
AFM had one hell of a dry heaving episode this am !! Thought it would never end !!!!

 

[skyesmom]

keeping my fingers crossed for your bloods today Susie!

 

[Topanga053]

Ray- No, I don't have a feeling one way or the other, but DH had a vivid dream that I gave birth to a girl, so he's convinced it's a girl!

Susie- good luck today with your bloods. Is today your follow up scan as well or am I getting my dates confused??

 

[SusieC]

Thanks girls. My HCG levels are rather low -133 on Monday and roughly stayed the same today. I know its not so much the mumbers that matter but what they do - obv they should be rising. They are going to scan me again on Monday. Still no bleeding, cramping or back ache.

 

[Topanga053]

Ahh Susie, so sorry it wasn't better news. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that things are just happening slowly! This waiting game is so unfair.

 

[anchor08]

I am so sorry everyone seems to be having such a rough time! I'm really hoping for good news from all of you very soon. It really is cruel to go through spotting after experiencing losses. And Susie, I am so heartbroken for what you're going through right now, hoping for a miracle. I hope you're getting lots of love and support in real life too!

 

[RedWylder]

Susie, how are you doing?

Topanga- no more spotting?

Me- no more spotting and nausea is back in force. I threw up for the first time yesterday and today I just feel like poo. So basically I'm thrilled. I'm going to go enjoy my last few days in Vegas by the pool.

 

[RedWylder]

Anchor I can't believe you're so near the end. It feels like yesterday you were letting us know you got your BFP and it's even more heartwarming to note that you were the first of us to "move on". I'm so glad your rainbow will be here soon. I can't remember, are you having a girl or boy? Have you figured out the name thing yet? And you should really consider posting a photo of that bump.

 

[Topanga053]

No, absolutely no more spotting. I got my Doppler in the mail today. I'm still getting used to operating it myself (and it's a cheap one), but I'm 99% sure I heard the HB and some movement.

Red- so glad the spotting stopped for you too and the sickness is back!! When's your next apt??

 

[Starry Night]

Red - hooray for feeling sick! Hopefully, the spotting was just one of those things and it will be a case of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and you'll get no more scares.

Susie - thinking of you.

Topanga - have fun figuring out the doppler. I hope it can keep you sane until your rainbow arrives.

 

[SusieC]

Thanks ladies for your kind thoughts. Things aren't looking hopeful, I've started bleeding and mild cramping now. Looks like I'll be joining the recurrent miscarriage club- a club no-one wants to be a member of!
Glad you other ladies are doing well. Keep puking Red!!! Lovely to hear a heart beat at home Topanga! Anchor - glad ur cooking nicely!
Am hoping to be back here in the next few months with happy news.
Healthy & happy pregnancies to all xx

 

[Topanga053]

Oh Susie. that is so unfair. I hope you'll be back here soon with good news too, but don't feel like you need to go anywhere.. you're always welcome here!! We're all here for you, however you need us.

I wish you all the love and comfort in the world as you heal from this. It's a journey that none of us should have to be on. Hopefully your rainbow is just around the corner!!

 

[Starry Night]

Susie - I recently joined the recurrent m/c club and the ladies there are so kind and smart and really helpful. I've lived in dread of that club since my first m/c but if I have to go through recurrent losses I am glad there is a place for me--that forum is a great place for support. I am so sorry that you are going through this again.
