Thanks Amy
I'm ok, the mc is all over and done with. I've found some ladies on this site going through the same and we have joined a facebook group and their support has really helped. It's strange but it was harder to deal with the loss at 4.5w in nov than this one at 7w, maybe because when I got that first bfp I really believed that was it, and this time I was just waiting for the mc to happen from the start. I'm seeing a recurrent mc specialist this week and I'm really excited, and depending on what she says we'll just keep trying. There's still a few months for me to get my desired 4year gap between the first and last, so here's hoping! In the mean time I'll be starting a new teaching job at the medical school next month and that will be good to keep my mind occupied.

StephI am so glad that you have an appointment to see someone, I hope you get some answers. Please keep us posted on here.
I really hope that you like your new job, it sounds like it will be something you will enjoy.
Really glad to hear that you're doing better.

Thanks ladies, I had the specialist appointment today and it went really well. I love the doctor! She thinks that our chances of having a normal pregnancy next time are good, and that my losses could just have been bad luck. I am not officially a recurrent miscarrier because I haven't had 3 losses in a row, and I have two healthy girls so she really thinks my chances of expanding my family are good. She ordered the full works when it comes to testing loads of bloods, clotting, autoimmune, genetics, and I'm getting a uterine mri and dh is having a sperm analysis (I think he's actually looking forward to donating a sample haha). If something comes back which is easily fixable like clotting, then that's easy, we fix it. However if it's something which we can't fix (like genetics) or something which is harder to fix (like uterine anomaly) then we'll probably just keep trying and hoping. With all that said, she reckons that it's likely nothing is wrong and we just got unlucky.
The good news is that she has given us the green light to keep trying. So I'm now cd13 if I count the first day of the bleed as cd1 (if there is one thing going for me is that I'm a superb miscarrier, the mc was really quick and straight forward) so hopefully will be O'ing soon and crossing my fingers for 3rd time lucky. In the mean time, we'll be having all the testing done and we'll be back to see her in 3 weeks for the results.
I'm in a good place though (obviously I'd be in a better place if I was pregnant, but c'est la vie), and the only time I feel sad is when I see a family on the street with 3 kids close together. That's what I really wanted and that's what I thought my family would look like, and now I don't know if I'll have that. But what you said in a previous post Amy really stayed with me, you said that whatever happens everyone will be happy. And when I feel that way, that sentence comes back to me and makes me feel better. It's not really that big of a deal what the age gap between the kids are, I just wish my brain would register that.
Anyway sorry for the massive essay, both girls have started daycare so I obviously have too much time on my hands!

Your doctor sounds really awesome Steph, I'm glad that she is so positive and is being so thorough. I have everything crossed for you this cycle
I'm doing well here, same old same old really. Isla has again been sleeping horribly, teething again, I will be so happy when we are done with teeth. So tired but other than that I can't complain

Hey Kay 
I'm doing really well. Things here are good and this pregnancy is moving along. Finally starting to get nicer weather here too, which has been amazing.
We did recently find out that Isla has to have tubes put in her ears which I am freaking out about a little bit but feeling better about it after getting some positive feedback from some friends whose LOs have had that surgery and some ladies on here too!
How are you doing? How are all your little guys?
It's funny I was just thinking about this thread recently and was going to post something. Nice to hear from you
Hope everyone else is well!

Oh no, I would be so scared for her but I'm sure that it will all go well, it's just never nice to think your baby needs to have something like that done. Good luck, have they said when they will do it?
Glad your pregnancy is going well.
We are all good, the boys are all growing and changing so much and so fast. It kind of makes your head spin when you realise that in just a few weeks it'll be easter!

I know, it is crazy that it is almost Easter, very ready for Spring here though, awful winter we just had 
The booking appointment is next Monday so we'll find out when her surgery will be then, they said it will be at some point in April.
I noticed when I was reading to her on Monday night that her hearing in her right ear is a bit compromised so kind of looking forward to getting it done now...
