Its off of infammatory bowel disease, if you google it it will tell you all you need to know on it if you have 5 mins. How are you feeling about your app?

Hi all,

Had an emergency scan at noon due to bleeding yesterday evening. Everything was fine. Fetus is still viable. The consultant said it measures 10 weeks 1 day, instead of 10 weeks 5 days as I thought I would be today. She said it was hard to take proper measurements because fetus was very active and kept moving around. She wasn't worried so I really shouldn't.

Had my actual consultant appointment at 3pm to discuss about my treatment plan after 12 weeks. He said I can have my Nuchal scan next week and cervical stitch the following week. I reminded him that fetus only measures 35.9mm today but he said that is fine. By this time next week, it should be big enough for Nuchal scan. He was relaxed about everything and I tried thinking of questions to ask but not many came into mind. He didn't say much about the bleeding I had yesterday; it was one of those things I guess.

Usually people get stitches at about 14 weeks but because I lost our son early at 16 weeks, so mine is at 12 weeks. Stitch to be removed at 37 weeks.

That's it from me for now.

Tayla - How are you feeling?

Lisa - Are you prepared for your appointment?

 

[WILSMUM]

so glad everything is ok, make sure you take it easy and rest up.

been thinking about you Lisa and yr appointment almost being here - the time seems to have flown past - I hope it has felt the same for you. Really hoping you get the answers yr hoping for and its enough to convince yr OH to try again.

I can't believe its only 13 days till my appointment.

Tayla - i thought it was to do with the bowel - what will they do for you regarding future pregnancies?
i am getting worried about my appointment in case i hear something i don`t want to hear. Also if we are told yes go ahead, i will want to TTC straight away, but i know DH will want tome to think about it, so i can`t see we are going to get anywhere soon, but I will keep you updated.

Zoe, i am so glad to hear all is ok, I have been thinking about you all afternoon - it does sound like what happened to me with the blood clot.
Make sure you get plenty of rest and look after yourself.

Hi Anouska, i think you and i were writing at the same time, which is why i didn`t reply in my other post!
when it first happened i felt time stood still, every day lasted a lifetime and I was just about managing to get through it.
however, in the last few weeks time has gone back to its usual fast speed. my appoinment seemed ages away.
i so hope it is what i want to hear because the thought of trying again is all that`s keeping me going.

I`ve said before, the person we`re seeing specialises in multi or recurring miscarriages, so i am a little different from the norm. I did email her a while ago with a brief description of my history and her advise was to try straight away, because if i was PG when i went to see her, she said if any treatment was required she could start it straight away.
i am hoping she will say the same Friday.
Your appoinment will come round really quick now too.

It is the bowel - Crohn's disease is part of the bowel or all, and Crohn's disease 'comes off' of inflammatory bowel disease. I won't get any answers on future pregnancies untill I have my appointment with consultant, which I should get through the post soon. I also need to have another colonoscopy and biopsy, and the consultants appointment will come after that I assume.

Zoe, glad everything went well!

How are you Anouska?

Tayla, hopefully you won`t have to wait too long for an appoinment.

 

[WILSMUM]

I'm doing OK - had a mum at school ask how man weeks i am now this morning, so I had to tell her that I actually lost the baby 7 weeks ago! Its a horrible thing to have to do cause of course she felt bad like she put her foot in it!

And my appointment at the hospital is coming round fast - a week on Monday! Can't believe its almost here. I'll be glad to hear what they have to say and ask them some questions but then I'm terrified they're going to tell me something I don;t want to hear same as you Lisa.

 

[dancareoi]

just over 24 hours now - my appoinment is at 11.15am tomorrow - i so hope it`s good and hope DH will give the nod.
I keep hoping all ok and he will say in car on the way home, ok let`s do it, but even if all is ok i know this won`t happen as he`ll need to think about it!
Hope not for too long, because end of next week into beginning of next week i should be OV and i want to try then!

Hi all, check out my new profile - it says TTC after loss!!

Been to see the Professor, she tought it was strange we had a loss at 13 weeks after a healthy Nuchal.

Anyway, they have taken 7 lots of blood and will be checking for all sorts of things, anyone of which is treatable.

treatment starts when you are pregnant.

I am due to go back again on 19th June, to find test results. If nothing found it will have been one of those things - at my age 1 in 2 end in loss.

However, DH and have decided we will TTC again immediately - hooraaaaaayyyyy.

If i fall straight away i will be about 7 weeks at my bext appoinment, which they said is perfect.

They have promised to look after us very well and hope to prevent us going through what we did this time again.

if i am pg when I go, they will scan me then to see how everything is, then they will see me every 2 weeks and will scan me each time, at least then, if something were to go wrong we will know a lot earlier and will be having expert help along the way.

Finally have something to be hopeful for and i hope and pray all works out this time. i will be OV end of next week, beginning of week after, so heres hoping for my rainbow.

 

[yellowyamyam]

Oh Lisa, congratulations!!! I am so happy for you! I am actually in tears!

 

[Miss Mitch]

Congratulations hun, bet you were so so happy that oh said he wanted to ttc again! x

 

[WILSMUM]

that amazing news I'm so pleased for you!!

 

[dancareoi]

Hi all, thanks very much for the kind words.

I don`t really know how to feel. I feel happy that we can try again, but feel guilty in a way for feeling happy, if that makes sense!

Anyway, we will give it a try, we have decived to use our motto here - one day at a time.
Theres no point trying to think what if this happens or what if that happens, we just have to try and feel positive and trust in the people who are looking after us.

We have a long way to go, but hopefully it will work out this time.

Hope you are feeling ok Zoe.

Anouska, let`s hope you have good news too.

Tayla, whats the next step for you?

 

[Miss Mitch]

I wish I knew, as it isn't confirmed officially yet, we can't plan. But, i'm not trying, not preventing, so we will see. I'm petrified now of it happening again, apparently Crohn's can caused what happen so.... x

 

[WILSMUM]

but at least now they have an idea of what is wrong so that if you do fall pregnant they can treat you accordingly

 

[dancareoi]

Anouska`s right, at least they have something to work with. They have taken 7 lots of blood from me to test all sorts of different things, hopefully it is one of those things and that is treatable.
If it isn`t one of the things they have tested, then I think it is just nature, so not a lot can be done.
At least if you can be treated that should increase your chances of having a rainbow.

Aw Hoping for your Rainbow Baby!!!!

Here's to hoping for all of us! xx

I'm a little bit of a nervous wreck today. I've been in the house the past week so thought I would shop a little this afternoon. Told DH that we would go for 2 hours max. I was very cautious. Walking slow, gentle, etc. By the 1st hour, I started noticing pressure down there. I really don't know if I was imagining it; DH definitely said it was in my head. So came home and stayed in bed since.

Just read another post of another angel baby. It really saddens me and makes me feel everything is so fragile in this world. Special people like us have to endure such situations ... we are somewhat amazing, I reckon, to be able to pull through what we experienced.

Also, I feel like a drug addict now. I have started my Antibiotics today, 4 times daily for 7 days. I am still taking Progesterone orally but this will end in 3 days and after ... it is through "back passage". (Sorry, TMI) I am soooo not looking forward to that. BUT it has to be done... 6 weeks, twice a day worth of sacrifice to ensure this rainbow baby pulls through for us.

I really want you ladies to know that I am sorry that we had to go through what we did bu am proud that we all survived, still healing but survived...
