Fab news Tasha!

 

[Hope39]

I'm the opposite to you lot, I wish my OH wouldn't come sometimes , lol

lee have a look at my test on our fb group, that was 14dpo

I think yours are darker x

Lee - I wasn't happy with English Louise either tbh. She was pushing for me to have surgery until a young surgeon came in and said she would consider me for methotrexate. She told me that two miscarriages and an ectopic are "just bad luck" despite the fact that all women on one side of the family have had the same issues. She also told me that I hadn't to believe anything which I read online and that I am risking my babies and my own life by taking 75mg aspirin. I just think she is quite curt in the way she explains things and doesn't have the same bedside manner. Scottish Louise was lovely as was everyone else - even the clerical woman was lovely!

That is terrible that they aren't offering you blood tests given your history, especially with spotting. I must admit I have always found them reluctant to do bloods (only had them in pregnancy 1 which was a different hospital and then in my ectopic to monitor hcg coming down rather than diagnostically)

 

[floridamomma]

Struggling to call the specialist or not. Woke up last night in excruciating pain on left side close to groin. It's since gotten better but not gone away. I think it's fine. Dh wants to call. He works in emergency medicine and fears ectopic. I don't want to be a bother. Really don't want a Transvaal us either

 

[Squig34]

Aw Tasha, so glad all was well with your LO & no growth restriction

Good luck Lee.

Hope all turns out to be well Florida.

 

[loeylo]

Florida I would definitely call. Not to scare you but with my ectopic the pain did come and go a bit, although with my miscarriages this also happened.
Why do you not want a tv? I have had loads and they honestly are fine. I'm a total wimp as well!

 

[LeeC]

I think I told you I had a run in with her last year too. I've told her to stop wasting my time and then Lucy called me back she is speaking with Maharaj tomorrow and calling me back, in the meantime bloods booked for tomorrow and Friday.

I have told Lucy I am putting a formal complaint in about her, especially after last year I sort of went on a rant. An EPAS unit is the last place someone should be made to feel bad about worrying about their baby/health.
Louise Mc is great as is Elaine and Lucy.

Good news that Maharaj is back as he's very open to meds for rmc, he's lovely, very quiet and always made me laugh swinging his legs under his desk lol...

On a separate note I've got cramping on left side and down left leg now.

Oh well will know soon enough and don't think a rupture would happen 4-5 weeks but going to check Dr Google.

Tasha, great news Hun. I'll be looking at your pics on FB later once Morgan is settled, so happy for you my lovely.

 

[Tasha]

Oh Lee not what you need x

 

[LeeC]

I feel like the pains getting worse and have half scared myself to death on Google. I've been told to go straight to hospital if the pain gets bad. I'm hoping it's def not that though, at least I know the signs to look out for. I really need some anti anxiety meds right now!!

 

[mowat]

Everything crossed for you Lee! Oh my goodness PARL sucks!

 

[blueblue]

Lee C - fingers crossed it is all ok for you but definitely call them if you are worried, will they scan you asap?

Confuzion - congratulations, I'm so happy everything is going well for you.

Loeylo - great news about your scan!

Tasha - congratulations on your week 20 scan.

Dairy/florida/mrs r - thanks for the reassurance, really trying to be positive. Wish PARL was easier.

Florida - hope you are feeling better now.

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone, it's moved on 3 pages in a day on here.

 

[blueblue]

D - sorry he is being so difficult

 

[floridamomma]

Squig how are you? How's your oh? Thinking of touch
Loeylo it's better. It's there but better it hurts worse when I need to urinate. It's my groin on the left side. Also hurts worse with gas or constipation. Thinking I need a good bm(tmi)

 

[confuzion]

Thanks for the welcome ladies.

Tasha - so glad your scan went so well! I can't believe how this little one was dismissed as another miscarriage in the beginning and has turned out to be such a strong one.

LeeC - really hoping it's not ectopic. I've had spotting, pain, wonky looking tests with most of my pregnancies and never had an ectopic so it could definitely go either way still. Hoping for the best possible outcome.

Florida - I would get checked out even if the pain has gone away. It's worth it. I know I didn't want a transvaginal at first either (just brought back too many sad memories and I formed a connection in my head that it must be related) but had a quick one early on in this pregnancy and not really sure what I was afraid of.

Blueblue - , hope you're doing well too.

Hope - I'm surprised your docs were trying to talk you out of weekly scans. Seems whenever I was concerned about the safety of ultrasound, I had doctors reassuring me about their safety rather than agreeing with me. Having read the studies on the benefits for RPL ladies, I would keep pushing for them as well.

 

[confuzion]

Oh and Dsemcho honestly I would be heartbroken if my husband acted that way. But thankfully that's not my guy's personality. He gets just as anxious about scans as I do and he's as happy to see baby doing well as I am. I'm sorry you are dealing with that but they say some guys just don't get all that attached until baby is in their arms.

 

[Hope39]

Thanks confuzion but I can't be arsed to fight with them anymore, they drive me nuts as it is with all there stupid lies and I was there 3 hours last week and I can't face that wait weekly .

The lights in the hospital send my oh funny so the less time we are there probably the better

X

 

[LeeC]

Pain has eased off, I've checked my notes from my rupture last year and I think I'm safe for now, early night for this paranoid android!!

Loeylo, she obviously doesn't know their own rmc specialist prescribes aspirin til 36 weeks!!!! Urgh, she needs to reconsider a career in the 'care' industry.

Thank you everyone, plan to read back as I need to catch up on thread.

 

[confuzion]

Got ya. Well I've only had 2 scans this pregnancy and they (combined with genetic test) were enough to get me feeling positive and supported! It's really passing milestones that takes the anxiety away. Maybe getting past the point where you lost little Isaac will help with your emotional health and excitement for the pregnancy.

 

[Hope39]

I've got another 20w to wait then, ha ha

I lost isaac at 27w and am being admitted into hospital at 24w till I deliver at 36w so I might feel better once I'm in hospital

Xx

I have had that sort of pain this pregnancy actually, but never severe. I tend to get a bit constipated when pregnant (actually that was the reason I had to have an internal yesterday!)
