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

[dancareoi]

Welcome back kat, hope all works out for you.

Creative - congratulations, look after yourself now and try and be relaxed, I know It's not easy. Maybe the relaxed attitude last month paid off!

Jo, Fiona and Regina, keep going girls!

Crazy and Becks, morning, hope you are both feeling bad!

welcome Kat, hope it all works out for you.
Feeling sickly, started yesterday and its coming and going. not actually throwing up just that sickly feeling.still feel wiped out.
In a dilemna over scan on Tuesday, debating whether to postpone for a week as I think I will have more chance of hearing a hearbeat if I go the week after.I will only be just 6 weeks and if dates aren't right then I might not hear a heartbeat and that will only send me a frenzy and will only want to pay for another one!

I had my first one at 7 weeks and 4 days. I didn't want it the week earlier, just in case. I am it sure when the heartbeat can actually be seen. Could yo call the clinic and have a chat?

Morning ladies, I had my first scan at 7 plus 4 too, any earlier and I would have worried if a hb couldn't be seen, I'm feeling ok today, sickness is waning now, not sure if I'm pleased or not but I'm.definitely showing now and have my other symptoms still so I'm just really hoping all is ok, I was laying in bed last nite and I felt 3 little taps low down, followed by 3 more twenty seconds later, it didn't feel like gas, that pops and makes noises, was it baby? I'd love to think so but obviously I don't know, as baby was measuring 3 days ahead at 8 weeks, 5 at 9 by now they could be a week ahead so I guess it's possible, would love to think so hope everyone is ok xxxxx

 

[crazymam]

well I have rearranged it ladies, scan is now a week later when I will be 7 weeks.
How long does this tiredness last ladies? I cant remember and last time I carried twins so was tired all the way through thanks to my low blood pressure!
I know the sickness has usually gone by 12 weeks Becks, for most people, so you probably will be starting to feel a bit better now.

 

[Oasis717]

That's really good I think you've made the right decision, you def should be able to see the hb etc at 7 weeks I hope that's all it is, that I'm feeling better cause I'm at that state where you can feel better but it does worry me still, the emotional up and down is still as bad, the headaches, a lot of food aversions still so I'm hoping all is ok, I got through yest thankfully, I started bleeding bang on 11 weeks last year and lost the baby 4 days later so am nervous around this time. My second mc was all over by 11 weeks but that was diagnosed as a blighted ovum at 7 weeks. The tiredness has come and gone for me this time depending on how much I've done xxx

 

[crazymam]

you are almost 12 weeks Becks, so I wouldn't worry about it.Plus as you say you still have other symptoms like your food aversions.
crossing my fingers there is a heartbeat too.
because they took so long to offer me a scan when miscarrying last time, basically they only scanned me to make sure it was all gone or just about gone!, I have no idea at what stage the baby died. There wasn't much left to look at when they did scan.
I should have put a formal complaint in at the time but was too upset.

 

[Oasis717]

That's dreadful, I'm so sorry, I had kind of the same situation, I started bleeding brown blood at 11 weeks but no one was interested until it turned red 4 days later, they refused to scan me in a & e saying there wasn't anyone to do it so me too I never knew when my baby died either xxxxxxx

 

[crazymam]

Compared to when i was pregnant first time and even last time ten years ago out nhs has gone really downhill. I remember having a scan at 6 weeks simply because my doctor suspected twins as i tested positive 7dpo. She was right and i had regular scans and appts after that. Now its all down to cutbacks i think.

Beck's 11 weeks and on the way to 12 !! Your ticker is really flying it !! Crazy good thinking on moving the scan forward you should defo see and hear the heartbeat by then ) I can't wait till i can join in these types of conversations and have a ticker of my own )
I am so hoping I get a BFP before my would have been due date Which would be the 16th of July . 3 months to go so there is hope

 

[Left wonderin]

Ps I just noticed that in all the threads I'm in there is more pregnant ladies in this one and they say its more difficult to get preg over 40 !!!! How ironic lol........

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Regina, I just want to get to 12 weeks get out of this bad memory 11 weeks the days are flying so it won't be long, I'm so so hoping for you us oldies are showing we're not past it yet lol xxxx
