Thanks Jo.
Midwife coming later then back to diabetic clinic on Monday!
We heard the little heartbeat today which was nice, but as I say we are far from being able to relax and stop worrying.

I don't think there is any need to do OPk still, or though you aren't making things easy are you? Wo knows how many days DPO you are! As you say, will have to be patient, but as we know , easier said than done!

At least if they do find something, from the tests they do, they should be able to treat it accordingly, so that's good to know. Next week will seem forever away at the moment!

Jan, hope you feel better soon. Sending lots of baby dust to you and Jo.

Thanks Lisa, it's more the hcg result I'm worried about, in case it's low. But hopefully it won't be xxx

Have you done any digi tests to see the dates?

You need to try and relax now Becks, as there is nothing you can do at the moment.
I have added my chart as my sig Lisa but think AF is on its way as think my temp is too low. I had two dips this month. Only been charting since last miscarriage in September and I usually get a dip around 4dpo/5po and then it stays up with a slow decline 2/3 days before af. Had a second dip this time but I am loaded with cold so thinking maybe something to do with that?
Besides I just don't feel pregnant so another reason why I think AF is on its ugly way x

Yes I must admit I said to dh there's nothing we can do now, it's in the hands of fate me too had terrible cold, hope we all feel better soon xxx

 

[josie1234]

Yeh hope we all feel better soon. This cough is doing my head in. Also cramps doing my head in.

Jo hope your cough is feeling better.

the cramps could be a good sign!

Hi Becks, how are you today, is the cold better?

I had a load of tests done last year, sounds like what you are having done. All mine were negative. in a way i was hoping they would find something, because then we would think that was what the problem was and it could now be sorted. However, all mine were negative, which doctor said was good.

So either way, you will get a good idea what is going on.

Jan, how are you today? Has the witch arrived yet or are other things happening?

Felt really sicky this morning and brought up some bile, sorry if TMI. Glad I am feeling bad because that makes me think all is good, if you knwo what I mean!

 

[Oasis717]

I couldn't make my mind up yesterday if I wanted them to find something or not, part of me does so I'd at least have a reason, an answer, for the babies lost, then part of me doesn't and just wanted it to be what they said, just very, very bad luck. I'm really glad you're feeling ill! Everytime I get a change in symptoms it worries me, I'm not peeing quite so much, boobs still very sore though. This is such a long waiting game, I wish it was like before and I could enjoy being pregnant xxxx

When you have suffered a loss, or losses, as we have. There is no joy or excitment, just constant worry!

I think back to my first pregnancy and it was so different. Although before my first PG my sister had MMC and this was the first time i had ever heard of that.
During my first PG she had another MMC.
She does now have 2 little girls.

In my second PG there was more worry as I was aware of what had happened to my sister, plus when i was 7 weeks PG my cousin went for a scan and she had had a MMC too, at that time I started bleeding slightly. Very scary times, but my littel girl was born fine.

It's so sad isn't it Lisa, it feels as if it can be snatched away at any point, before my losses it never occured to me I'd loose a baby, it was always something that happened to other people, then it hits you and pregnancy can never be the same again.
Such a shame xxxx

i know, i always thought that too, it will never happen to me!!!

We just have to take each day at a time now.

will you be having any early scans this time?

 

[josie1234]

Morning all. Yes it would be nice to relax and enjoy pregnancy but you cant after you have had miscarriage. I didnt even think about miscarriage until i had one. Makes you realise what the little one goes to be born. It is a miracle. My cough is gettingbetter but still not sleeping. Cramps not as bad more like twinges or is it my imagination. Temp went down a bit this morning. Hope you are all ok. Xxx

Yes I agree, one day at a time My doc has offered me an early scan around 8 weeks, I'm going to go up there at 7 weeks and request one. I'm dreading that though because that's how my mmc was diagnosed last time xx
