TTC after loss - over 40 - any takers? Our lucky thread - 9 rainbows and 1 BFP

SJ, I am so relieved, congratulations, hope you feel better soon. Apparently acupuncture can really help for severe morning sickness, maybe you can give it a try?

Thanks again to all of you. I have already started bleeding, which is better than the 3.5 weeks wait after my last m/mc, it happened so fast that I didn't have time to decide/book a D&C, but I am checking on getting genetic testing after all. If the baby was chromosomally abnormal or the result is 'inconclusive', I might give it another try; if it comes back as normal, I doubt I will reconsider trying again.

T so happy your scan went well and buns even measuring a day ahead feeling uck is no fun but worth the end result . Hang in there have you tried ice lollys ? Or freezing cold water it was the only that helped me . Oh bu then I found curry noodles , the only thing I could stomach for 31 weeks !!! Lol


Kim I'm sorry your going through a loss again , I really feel for you
Maybe now isn't a good time to make any final decisions . Your grieving , be kind to yourself xxxxx

I cant even sip on ice cubes.. I have been unable to take my aspirin today and I am so worried.. I am so ill girls x

Oh no I had a friend like that on both her pregnancies . She could keep nothing down for 16 weeks . Ended up on a drip both times . Its sounds awful . I just had normal ms and that was bad enough . She used to wake up to puke at night . Was told to try sip water even if it comes back up . You should go back to the doc if your feeling that unwell , dehydration will only make you feel worse . Maybe you need to be put on fluids ? The good news is it doesn't effect baby one little bit just the mammies feel awful

 

[Left wonderin]

Ooh your scan had LO grown ???

 

[Serenjay]

Baby is 2cm... and measuring 8weeks 3 days.. a day ahead.. Im waiting for a call back off Dr.. I've not had a wee since 1pm.. and no urge too.. im so weak im scared I cant take my aspirin xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Can they give you an injection of it ? Have you tried taking it ?

 

[Serenjay]

Aspirin taken before ms was bad last week on an empty stomach was painful on the lining enough. I used to take strong anti inflammatory and it weakened my stomach lining.. so I darnt take it on an already bleeding stomach from vomiting xx

 

[Serenjay]

Hi girls. Im in hospital on a drip. Diagnosed with that severe ms. Took forever to see a gp. He sent me straight in. Feel more hydrated but still feel so ill and sick. Xx

Hi all, we're back from our skiing and have been catching up.

T - so glad all is well with baby, but sorry you are so ill, you're in the best place. Put your feet up and let them run around after you and look after you until you feel better.

Crystal - congratulations he is gorgeous.

Kim - so sorry to read your sad news, look after yourself xx

Regina - belated 1st birthday wishes to Sean.

Jo - wow Australia, something to look forward to. We went for our honeymoon back in 1997!

Becks - hope you are ok

Skiing went very well and today we have booked again for next year in the same place!

 

[Serenjay]

Oh I have never been skiing im a person that loves heat not cold

I just got home. I was on a drip till 7am. they took wee samples until the ketones had all gone and then I had to eat breakfast and lunch and keep it down before I was discharged. So im home now cuddled up on sofa. I have been given Ondansetron and Cylizine with rantitadine. They said nothing will stop what I have but it can hopefully be eased.. but if I get back into a cycle of vomiting and not keeping fluids down to see my gp as I may need to go back in.. FX it eases xx

 

[Left wonderin]

How you feeling now ?? Hope it doesn't last too long for you . But hate to say it but it is a positive sign too !! ( don't hate me lol )

 

[Serenjay]

Girls im so ill I don't know how much more of this I can cope with..I feel so sick and gagging non stop and started bringing up occasional water again and cant even nibble a digestive.. I look 40 yrs older..my hair is greasy..my skin is bone dry and flaking and I cant stop crying.. I can't cope with this anymore.

 

[Left wonderin]

Awh sounds awful . Hang in there it won't last forever although I bet it feels like it !!! Maybe you need to go back to the doc ? And back on a drip? At least you will fell a tad better . Did you have this sickness with your other pg ? Sounds like you have it bad

Kim how are you doing ?? I hope your looking after yourself its a very tough time xxxx ill be thinking of you

Dance welcome back your holiday sounded wonderful and no better reccomendation than advance booking for next year !!! we didn't go in the end , weather was rainy , Sean was sick so we thought we will wait . He is at that age also he is crawling , not yet walking not happy except on the floor ! We were in a hotel room so our holiday would have consisted of me , DH and Sean in a room for 7 days not the best timing ! We're waiting till he is up on his feet

 

[Serenjay]

Thanks Regina.. aww this weather has been dreadful..but it would be a lot better when he is walking and weather brightens up so you can go out and about where will you be going? x

I went to see my consultant today.. the Hematologist consultant said I HAD to take aspirin daily for this pregnancy to last..(when my consultant asked him to go over my bloods last year) but the letter I had was advised..so I wasn't worrying so much that I needed it to be 100% 24 hours whilst I was so sick but obviously I knew I needed it. but I mentioned the HG and that there was 2 days I was unable to take aspirin and she frowned.. I said could that be a problem? yes she replied.. after 12 weeks we don't think it would be as worrying.. so now I have to have another scan Tuesday 11.15am. They won't scan within 7 days of a scan and the earliest was Tuesday.. so now im so worried

im still really ill and counting the mins till I can take the next dose of sickness meds xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh T on top of feeling so sick , you poor thing maybe she could have shown a little compassion !!!!!!! What did she suggest if you are so sick you can't keep it down ????
I'm sure everything is just fine try not worry xxxxxxx

Im not to allow myself to go that far again.. if I can keep water down and tiny snacks ok.. if I cant keep any food down for more than 24 hours and only water not to leave it more than 24 hours but if after 6 hours no water no food then I have to see gp to be readmitted. she said I may be admitted a few times during the 1st trimester but they need me hydrated and able to take meds so if it takes admissions then thats what happens.

I just feel so angry towards Out of hours GP service it took 6 hours from my call before I saw a Dr then another 2 hours until I was in hospital on a drip... the GP apologised and said he was disgusted that I had rang so early and not seen until so late(because they had no gp's until 12.45am) and he would be making a complaint about the service. He said next time if after an hour I dont get a call ring back or go straight to A&E..
