[Hopeful335]

Hey all I'm sorry I've been so hit and miss! Lots been going on with you lot! Mommylov good to hear from you again sorry about your sad news. I had a natural mc at 6 weeks at the end of Aug after the mmc in June. It's awful but I didn't think anywhere neat as sad/bad as mmc-but that's just me. I'd not grown attached like I had first time! At least you now know about the mutation.

I'm 18w6d now and getting excited now! Bit like Smiler I've self diagnosed baby aspirin! One of my best friends had 2 mmc and 1 normal mc, had loads of tests but nothing. Specialist said to try baby aspirin for her-she now has a happy healthy 1 yr old daughter. She took it until 36 weeks. I'm following that I'm convinced it's helping me!!! No one can tell me otherwise. My doc laughed me out of place when I suggested said only for reccurent miscarriage but to me 2 was I didn't want to wait for a third!!!

Oh wow Lilesmom I cannot believe you felt it kick!!! I haven't yet-poo!!! Pleased for you. What's it like? Hope you're feeling better now you're on iron!

Discoria I've tried to catch up but not sure if I've missed your posts -how are you?

Katy I've kinda missed you joining the thread really but big congrats it lovely and all do exciting now!

I'm all good, really starting to look preg. The reason I've been away south is its been my 30th birthday and I've been really busy seeing family, friends out etc, then tired! All seems good, listen to baby on Doppler fairly regularly -absolutely live it -best sound ever!!!!!! Pretty good, much more energy than first 13/14 weeks but ladies other stuff takes over! Sorry if tmi but constipation and uncomfortable trapped wind! Plus my stomach stretching etc is odd but wonderful all wonderful!!!

I cannot wait until June to meet my baby! Or maybe May if it comes a little early!

Babydust to you all x x x x x x

Congratulations Katy!!!! so pleased for you xx

Hey hopeful nice to hear from you also interesting,to hear about the advice your friend was given re aspirin. Am scared to tell my doc I've self-prescribed it but going to use stories like that to explain my choice.

I hear ya on the constipation! Driving me mad already!

Oh and happy birthday

Thank you Hopeful! Im so happy youre preg with your rainbow baby and hope the rest of your pregnancy is joyous Im terrified of not being able to carry. I know there are many with this MTHFR thing that I have and Im currently in the tww. I too felt way more connected with the first one mainly because we saw her and her heart beating away (I was convinced she was a girl). To see her at 6 weeks and then go in at 10 wk and be told that she died at 8 just broke my heart. Then I get preg a 2nd time and it was a nightmare that led me to a new dr but lost that one too. Thankfully I was not as far along but none the less a loss is a loss. So now Im hoping with this new dr and new findings Im hoping that my rainbow baby is coming. I am on Neevo & extra folic acid.. she told me that I can take the baby asprin if I want but I didnt need it so I too am self medicated with baby asprin I guess hehe. Im so glad this new dr didnt make we wait to mc for a third time before running all these tests and monitoring me the way they are. I was so devestated after the last one and what we went through (Lilesmom witnessed me go throught it) that they felt so bad and just started testing away. Keeping my fingers crossed that this tww ends with a BFP soon! You are one more that has me hopeful again so thank you!

Thank you so much Smiler. I'm so happy. Was not expecting it so soon! The OH is over the moon. Thankyou so much for the support! Xx

 

[babybemine]

Dh and I are all clear and all labs were normal. If no pregnant this cycle then we will be trying femera next cycle

 

[mommylov]

babybemine, thats great! Happy to you and hope you catch that egg this cycle! heheh

I too am in the same boat. We were told to try this cycle and if I am not pregnant, then next cycle Im told I will be put on Clomid. Here's hoping that we dont need the meds!

Thankyou so much. Thankyou for the support to! Wow, can't believe it! X

 

[Smiler82]

babybemine I'm pleased for you that they didn't find anything wrong with either of you, but sorry you still have to go on femara. Did they say why they're giving it to you if there's nothing wrong? I hope it works - I know someone on here who had both her kids on femara. I think it's meant to be a little better than clomid - fewer side effects and doesn't thin the womb lining like clomid does. So FX for you

Katy so nice to hear you so excited Got everything crossed for you is a H+H 9 months

Lilesmom how are you doing? Are the iron tablets starting to make a difference yet?

AFM I am in shock...just got a call from the hospital asking me to come in for a scan TODAY. OMG. I am so nervous. I saw my GP yesterday and she was annoyed I hadn't heard anything yet, because she wrote to them on Dec 14th. So she gave them a kick up the backside for me and in 2.5 hours I'll be in the u/s room...eeek. I am excited but also scared. If you read this before 2pm (UK time) please please please send me lots of PMA vibes xxxx

 

[KATYJAITCH]

Thankyou Smiler, I hope so too.

Ahhh good luck! Hope everything goes ok! Lots of positive thoughts for you. Let us know how you get on! Xx

[lilesMom]

my doc rang me.
blood tests a bit bad but not hideous
i have low thyroid but controlled with meds, its nudged its way back into hypo zone,
i thought it was gone funky this last week, but when she said my iron had dipped i reckoned maybe that was at fault. am taking iron now anyway as well .
my liver fx tests are also a tiny bit worse than last time but i think its cos i was on antibs in the meantime.
she is not doing anymore for now just retesting in 4 weeks, i may say to um can i up my throid dose slightly anyway cos i have been symptomatic too so i prob need to .
bit peed off that all 3 things r worse but anyway so long as bub is ok im happy

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks lilesmom yeah you are totally right, I'm kind of pleased I've only had a couple of hours in which to get nervous rather than a week or something Will be leaving in 30 mins or so, should really have some lunch but too nervous to eat I think!

Oh no I'm sorry to hear your test results aren't coming back great. But they're not awful are they? It's really good you're not at work with all this going on. At least you can get the rest you need and get to the docs when you need to. But yeah main thing is bubs is okay. Hope you feel better soon xxx

 

[lilesMom]

try and have something light hon so u dont feel fainty xxxxxxx
fx so hard for u and lovely pma winging its way to u. xxxxx

yeah il be alright, just a peed off cos i have been doin so well and being as healthy as i can but it will be fine xxx

 

[Smiler82]

Good news Baby is doing fine, all looking ok so far. My dates have changed slightly, they put me a few days ahead which is nice I thought I was 8+1 today but it's now 8+4. I was really touched by the lady doing the scan - they have signs up all over the place saying you only get photos at your 12 week scan, and you have to pay for them. But she printed one out for us and gave it to us for free. Means a lot to have a pic, just in case. I think I'd still like to go for a scan around 10 weeks just to be sure, but for now me and DH are really happy

Aw lilesmom sometimes these things just can't be helped even if you are taking care of yourself. I guess maybe pregnancy just throws things out of whack a little and there's not much you can do. As long as your doc is on top of it all it's ok xx

 

[mommylov]

Smiler, so glad you were able to get in for a scan and that everythign looks great!

Got my bloodwork back for my progesterone and it was at 10.12 which indicated that I ovulated. At first they said that I didnt need to take the Crinone but I said since I was on the boarder can I just take it to be on the safe side and they said to go ahead and start it tonight. Im hoping that being at 10.12 last night (Night of 6dpo) wouldnt affect implantation

 

[mommylov]

Laura, I too think that pregnancy does funny things to our bodies. Even though you have been doing so good and got these results, dont let it get you down. With the meds that they gave you and time, Im sure you will be back to 110% in no time!
