Hi Girls

Good luck Anita with your scan, really hoping everything is ok for you.

I think I am miscarrying again ! I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks and a D&C on 1st Nov, then AF arrived on 17th Dec and really hasn't fully gone away. It was heavy for the first few days then on and off with spotting. I didn't test cos I reckoned cos AF was here I wouldn't be pg.

For some strange reason in Boots last night and decided to buy 2 tests, did one last night and it was positive and did one this morning and it was positive but I'm still spotting and did have some red blood last night !

Going to call the docs this morning and see what he says but just feel so deflated with it all. I haven't had sore boobs either which I did have the last time so I'm not holding out much hope.

It's a nightmare, I don't know whether to feel devastated or whether or not to shrug my shoulders and just get on with it. At least I only knew for 1 day this time !

Has anyone heard of this happening and going on to be ok ?????

Sus u poor thing..uve had it real tough... hoping ur doc can explain wats going on...and that its a good outlook for u.... loadsa hugs hun!! really feel for u xxx

sus- how nerve wracking that must be, i wouldnt like to say either way hun, if you are pregnant you are very early pregant if your af was on the 17th dec.x i hope everything is ok for you.x its playing the waiting game which is probably the worst bit

anita i hope your scan goes well n that everything is ok, i know how nerve wracking it is praying to see something on the screen.x

my story was i fell pregnant, started to get some cramps n was feeling particularly awful so went to the dr who sent me for a scan at 6 weeks, well the first time i went they couldnt see anything so i had to wait 2 weeks, they still couldnt see anything i then had to wait another 2 weeks where they did see a sac but nothing inside so it a blighted ovum as they call it where the body is supporting a pregnancy but there is nothing inside the sac in the womb, i was gutted from the day i first saw the lines on the pregnancy test that was it i had imagined the baby and everything. well i had to have a d&c because my body was holding on to the pregancy and wouldnt let go i think i wanted it so much my body just held on for dear life.x this was on the 27th jun 04 well i fell pregnant agin around halloween time , i had the same cramps and the same feeling awful etc so my heart sank, although everyone had said to me the more symptoms you get i.e sore boobs and sickness the more likey to be healthy pregnancy well i proved that wrong with the last time so i was convinced it was another one, so had the early scan they saw a sac and nothing inside so i had to wait another two weeks which is a lifetime anyone who is going through it will know 14 days could well be years the way it feels. anyhoo i went back and they saw a heartbeat thankgod had the 12 week scan everything was hunky dory although i was on tenderhooks the whole time. had my 20 week scan where they told me they thought ther could be a problem with the babies kidneys, we found out it was a boy which we really wanted as we already had a daughter, anyway i had to go to london and have a special scan where they told me they thought he had pkd polycistic kidney disease a fatal thing in newborns, they made me wait 6 weeks this time after that scan until i was 28 weeks pregnant, they told me on that appointment it was make or break if the baby had it then they would give me a termination at 28 weeks the thought of that for those 6 weeks killed me i felt the baby he was my son i couldnt i had pictured his fce everything in fact i saw his face on the 28 week scan clear as day he looked the mirror image of his dad. thankflly there is a happy ending he didnt have it at all and i now have a very healthy and extreemely happy 5 month old baby boy . so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. i seriously believe posotive thought helped though as mad a sit seemed the whole time throughout the waiting i kept it in my head evrything was going to be ok i hadnt quite convinced myself mind but i tried.
the moral of my long and very boring story stay strong and try to be posotive.x.x and you may just get lucky like me1

my heart goesout to anyone going through it and waiting to hear and i send posotive vibes to you all.x

Hi Sus,
Hope your Doc can sort things out quickly for you. Awful being in limbo and not know how to feel properly. Have had a thought.... I know that HCG levels can remain detectable for a while after a m/c. Is it possible that you still have HCG from your previous preg in your system? I hope you don't mind me asking... please don't answer if you don't want to... but how did you find out you'd had a missed m/c? I mean did you have some symptoms or did your midwife discover it?
xxxxxxx

Sorry Leah...we x posted. Just read your story. What an horrendous thing to have to go through. You must have been totally out of your mind with worry. Thank goodness you had a happy ending[]

Thanks Fazia, Summer and Leah. Leah, your story is inspiring and it just goes to show right enough.

Well I've had a scan and they couldn't see anything, but she said I would only be around 4 weeks. She's taken bloods and I have to go back on Sunday to get more taken, I'll get the results on Monday evening. Not feeling very positive cos I've no symptoms and still spotting so the midwife reckons it's probably been a miscarriage. Ho Hum !

Summer I started spotting at 10 weeks and went for a scan where, the same as Leah they say the sac but nothing in it. They recommended that I have a D&C so I had that the following week.

So, time will tell, I'll just take it easy this weekend and see what happens on Monday, but I'm sure they would have seen something had there been anything there !!!!

Thanks girls

Sorry Summer didn't fully answer your question. 2 weeks ago I did 2 preg tests as I'm sure I ov'd on 4 Dec, but they both came back negative, so I'm sure it's not from the previous miscarriage, but who knows !

I just hope I get lucky third time around !!!!

Sus I am so sorry for what you are going though, my heart goes out to you. I really hope the bleeding is just one of those things and you go on to have a healthy pregnancy.

Thanks Kate, I appreciate that, but deep down I know it's not gonna happen.

How are you getting on ? How far on are you now ? Have you many symptoms ????

Well I'm keeping everything crossed for you anyway Sus. I am fine thanks hun, I'm 8+2, cream crackered, queasy and look like ****e so hoping everything is progressing normally.

Anita I've been reading your posts, I hope everything goes well at your scan.

sus- hang on hun...like leah sed...with her boy she had to go back a second time..really hope u dont have to go thru a m/c again... loadsa hugs. good luck for monday evening..mus seem like an eternity til then for u. xxx

leah...wow...i was getting really sad and nervous reading that u could have faced such a horrendous thing and at 28weeks....!! especially as ppl have babies born then, that look and act like a newborn neways.... im so glad ur son is fine and so r u. u really r an inspiration xxx

Oh Sus, I really hope everything works out okay, if not this time, then very soon.

You really deserve to be happy and have a healthy pg, so you will be in my thoughts, and I'll cross everything I can for you.

Good luck with the blood tests, and just take it easy, put your feet up and rest, and make sure you get lots of hugs from your DH and family.

Love

Thanks Dippy & Fazia that was really sweet of you both.

I plan to do just that Dippy!

How are you getting on ?

There has to be light at the end of this tunnel eh !

Can I ask you Dippy, when you had your mc, did you have any symptoms, i.e. sore boobs, I haven't had anything this time which makes me think even more it's a gonner. Also, how did the hospital confirm for you, was it through blood tests ????? Did anything show up for you on the scan ????

Sorry for all the questions, just don't know what to expect. There is a huge part of me that really wants this, but I just don't see it !

Hello everybody

Firstly I want to say to Sus that I am so sorry to hear about your story. I hope you will have a healthy pg very soon!!! Leah, what a frightening experience!! I am glad to hear that it all went well in the end tough!!

Well, I had my scan this morning. Both a normal one and because they couldn't see anything they also did an internal one. They could unfortunately not find anything and the conclusion of it all is that I had a very early miscarriage. I must only have been about 4 weeks gone. My body had managed to get rid of it all by itself (which is good). I obviously got a bit upset though I had tried to prepare myself for that outcome. I am glad my dh was there with me - he's been great trough it all!! The nurse couldn't say why it had happened but just put it down to bad luck! The positive that has come out of all this is that I now know everything seem to be in working order. Got a view of my ovaries and everything else. I am obviously upset and going back to work trying to be cheerful was quite difficult, but I suppose life goes on. We have to just get back into the bd'ing and hope that it will happen again soon. It's soooo common it's frightening. I know when (not if!!) I get pg again I will be doubled as worried, but the nurse was very kind and said since I've gone trough it once now, they would do the outmost to help and reassure me (offer more scans etc) the next time.

I've had a few stressfull months recently with my father being ill, then passing away having to travel to Norway (as that's where I'm from) three times in two months + ttc'ing. I am sure that hasn't helped the situation. I am sure that now all I need is a few stress free months and lots of loving and I will be back 100% (fingers crossed). I am now at least looking forward to a nice and quite weekend!!

Thank you all so much for your concern and well wishes. I will keep posting as I have found it very helpful.

Sus, I am reallly crossing my fingers for you!!!!

Take care

Love
Anita
