Hello ladies,
Thought I'd drop by. Sorry I haven't been on much since the miscarriage - have been lurking but just didn't feel like joining in
Congrats Jessica - thats one speedy BFP - well done.
Lovely news shell's - a boy
Milos - how you getting on chasing that eggy - hope to see a bfp from you soon hun.
Amy - good to see you're still being positive
Mlyn - Good luck for your first month trying after your ectopic - fingers crossed you catch the egg this month.
In terms of me... I'm coming up to 3 weeks since I had the medical management of my missed miscarriage. Took a pregnancy test the other day which still had a very faint line - like the ones you get around 8dpo. Am hoping by monday the tests show negative, otherwise I have to go back to EPU to be rescanned to check for retained product. But I have a feeling all has come away and my spotting now is so much lighter. Should be colourless very soon methinks. I also had a +OPK for 3 days from Sunday through to Tuesday so wondering whether I'm ovulating? First + test came on CD14 (from the first day of bleeding of the miscarriage). As of today I have enlarged and sore boobs (they usually kick in right after the egg has popped. Strangely though I don't have major OV pain - just slight niggles but on both sides. Usually when its my tubeless right side I have dull aching from OV to AF - whereas I get no pain from my tube left side so I'm thinking I've missed the boat this month.
Didn't want to try this soon anyway - want to wait to af comes back so I know where we are with dates as don't want to go through stressing about scans not showing progress then casting doubt on my dates etc...
Life can be mean - as all you ladies have experienced. For me an ectopic in May followed by a blighted ovum in September is just about the worst luck I have ever had in my life. At least I know my left tube is working ok. And have to think surely next time I get pregnant it will all be ok? I'm not sure I'll hold my breath!
Another thing I won't do next time is waste loads of money doing test after test every day to make sure lines getting darker. With the blighted ovum all was on track, normal doubling HCG levels, at early scan I had the gestational sac and was positive all would be ok, only to go back at 6+2 will still an empty sac...! Oh well. I feel as if I've moved on. Just have to get back onto the TTC bandwagon and hope I am blessed with a healthy BFP before Xmas. The baby I lost through ectopic would have been due on 22.12.10 - so I hope I have a lovely BFP to celebrate.
I'm off to Centre Parcs again on Monday till Friday and then home for a week and then off to the Algarve on the Saturday for a few days. Felt I needed some time out as I haven't been able to tell work about the MC so had to go straight back after the medical management on the Sunday.
Sorry for droning on ladies.
Good to catch up and I'll stop by more often for regular updates.
Love to all, Lucy x
