PAL - August 2012 Rainbow babies!

[filipenko32]

Right well that was a nightmare!! Back home now. So the baby is there, it measures a week behind at 6.4 and the heartbeat is low at 68. Just like all my other miscarriages. I'm going to have to class this as a treatment failure now (steroids). Can't believe they've all been the same!! The only difference is this had such high hormone levels obviously that means nothing. What do you girls think? I just want it to be over! Going by my other 3 patterns the heartbeat will stop in precisely 3 days.

 

[filipenko32]

Great news jd!!! soooo pleased for you! x x x I definitely think you can relax now.

 

[MrsMoo72]

Aw darling, I was really hoping for better news for you. How are you feeling about it all, is there anyway it could work out? What did yr Dr say? You have had such a tough year, im so sorry you have to go through this again xxx

 

[NewbieLisette]

JD over the moon for ya love!!! Enjoy taking a deep breath today!

Fil hunni what did the Dr say....do you have any hope right now?

I don't have a scan until the 18th. I haven't even considered a preg journal, think its because i don't fully believe it iykwim?

I know exactly what you mean. I'm the same - kind of in some sort of denial!!

Morning gilrs...praying for Fil this morning!!!!!!

How you doing Emma?

I just told my boss...went well...now can I go home and get some sleep? LOL

Glad is went well Lisette! One less thing to worry about, eh?

AFM, just got back from my scan. Baby is looking good! Finally got a measurement today. She measured me at 7wks exactly, which is pretty much what I thought because I am pretty sure I ovulated late. So due August 24, not the 21. So happy this morning She said the chance of a m/c now that we have seen the heartbeat 2 wks in a row is very small, only like 4-5%. So that is also very reassuring

JD that is brilliant!!! So pleased for you. And if you liked stats...https://www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk/information/ultrasound-scans/

I found this when I had my previous mcs. If you scroll down it tells you:

Research has shown that if you see a heartbeat at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the chances of the pregnancy continuing are 78%.

A heartbeat at 8 weeks increases the chance of a continuing pregnancy to 98% and at 10 weeks that goes up to 99.4%.

So.... that is why I'm aiming for a scan after 8 weeks!!! I guess that what the lady today told you fits with this too! I think there must be a big jump between 6 and 7 weeks! So pleased for you x

Awww Fili - I'm so so sorry. I had a very similar situation - at 7w5d I was measuring about 6 weeks and the bean had a slow heartrate. I know exactly how it feels honey. They told me that the chances of it working out were very low but I still tried to hold on to some hope. Like your previous situations, by the next week's scan the heartbeat had stopped. I really hope that you have some kind of miracle hon - I did read a couple of good stories when I was searching for information myself. My thoughts are with you honey xxx

Fili, I am so sorry your appt didn't go well

Ruth, thanks for the statistics, sounds pretty much like what she said. Its reassuring to have that knowledge.

 

[Mrskg]

Ruth thanks for link that's great info gives me hope for my scan at 8/4 x can't believe it's still a fortnight away!!! Xxx

I know it seems like a long way off but it will be here before you know it and then you can be perfectly (well to 98%) reassured!

 

[Mrskg]

I'd say I'm counting down the sleeps but since I'm an insomniac just now that's not quite true lol x anyone know if herbal tea to help you sleep is safe in pregnancy xxx

Mrsmoo how are you getting on xxx

 

[puppycat]

Puppy how's your ms?

Well it's different day by day, yesterday was horrid, I slept most of it and nibbled carbs when I absolutely had to but today I feel a bit better. It seems to be in patterns of 3 days being: God awful/Awful/Bearable.

Think today is the Bearable? Not sure until I eat....

 

[KozmikKitten]

fili, I'm sorry to hear your news. I hope you're taking good care of yourself. Things will look up for you soon!


justwaiting, glad to hear your good news!

 

[bizzy27]

Fili - I am sorry that your scan didn't have the new you wanted...but I will keep you in my prayers and hope that maybe this bean is just taking its time ... maybe "fashionably late" kind of kiddo.

Sounds familiar puppy - I had a couple of bearable days and then yesterday it hit me like a truck again. We'll get through it though x

 

[jd83]

Anyone else having pregnancy brain already? This morning I sat drooling over recipes for an hour, made up my grocery list, and then went to the store only to realize I left my list on the table at home. Sigh...lol

 

[Mrskg]

Happy 10wks Kozmic xxxxx

Aw puppy glad your having a bearable day I find as long as I eat I'm ok it making myself eat when I feel sick I find hard but just have to force myself x so far so good only been sick once guessing next week will prob be worse xxx

Jenni I have baby brain def x I went to freezer for rice crispies! Then when I poured them
I poured about 2 bowls full over 1 bowl bit of butter fingers too lol xx

 

[bizzy27]

Haha YES!!! I caught myself trying to put the orange juice in the pantry with the coffee cups....

My big thing lately is balance..... Really how many times can one person fall or lean into things ... i fell trying to get off the couch...luck i fell back on the couch ... then this morning i wobbled and fel back into my dh.....and im not even big yet...oy

 

[Mrskg]

Lol bizzy I get that too think Its to do with all the extra blood flow xx oh how exciting your 10wks tomorrow xxx

 

[KozmikKitten]

Ugh! Hormones! They are insane right now!
DH came home and immediately went to the kitchen to start dinner. (He's been doing all the cooking lately since I'm sooo tired after work.) Heard him "banging pans around and huffing and puffing" (in my mind) and started crying because I thought he was mad that I didnt have dinner ready! Apparently he was upset with himself for forgetting to stop for milk! Bah! Cant believe I cried over who was cooking dinner.

 

[puppycat]

Well today was a really good day sickness wise. No tabs, I did heave at the usual sh*t smells and farts (lol) but was able to do food and eat! woo!

Think that means tomorrow will be shocking again

 

[justwaiting]

Congrats on the good scan jd.

Fili my thoughts are with your hun.

no occasions of baby brain yet but can't wait for the amusing moments to begin!!!
