Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss #1

[Maruschke]

Quietly very excited for you both! LTTTC AML is so hard. So so happy to see you both get BFP's and I'm sending all the sticky dust I can manage your way. I know it's a frightening time... thinking of you both. xoxo

Maruschke: thanks how are you going ?

[Maruschke]

Pretty crap to be honest. I'm still checking my knickers. Just a bit paranoid coming up to the morph scan... wondering if this will just be a late repeat of the past.

[minniemouse]

Maruschke: it is so hard, its awful that you never really feel safe, im sure i will be like that if things continue. i don't really know much of your story, have you had a bad morphology scan before (if you don't mind me asking)

[Maruschke]

No bad morph... just 2 mc's, 3 iui's, 2 ivf's and countless oi/tsi cycles. Exhausted! When is your next scan? I'll hold my breath with you.

This is a new pregnancy and a fresh chance. I'll be thinking of you in 16 days!

Thanks Maruschke, I'm sorry you have to be a nervous wreck every day until the baby is in your arms. It's completely understandable, but completely unfair!
Minnie - I am so excited for your scan!!

I'm still spotting but it's brown and much less now. I think my body is making virtually no progesterone and it's all coming from the pessaries. Progesterone was 43 at 10dpo and 75 at 14 dpo. Anyway, I'm trying my best to stay hopeful for the next blood test on Saturday...

hello!

I was trying to stay out of this thread and pretend like I was having a normal fear-free pregnancy, but I can feel the anxiety beginning to descend, so I need some friends!

Mia - Depends how far along you get that result. But I say unlikely.

I have resolved not to have bloods this time around, which is very different from the million or so I had last time. My Dr is really supportive of my decision, so I'm just sitting tight. The bloods caused me so much stress last time.

So, first scan is on Friday. Not sure how to feel; I just feel uneasy. A lot.

Mich8 - I had falling progesterone last time. My Dr said to eat heaps of good fats to help produce it. Not sure if there's any real basis in it or she just wanted me to chill out (I was the nervousest Nellie in the world) but I have an awesome baby. 43 and 75 is good though!

[Maruschke]

Prog of 75 is great. With DD1 it got as low as 26!!! The supplements should help. Hang in there

Hi ladies,

May I join to?? Can we hold hands together?? I am currently 5.5 weeks pregnant and while I am enjoying this pregnancy - I am scared.... Terrified about the NT scan and going through the FMU to have NT and possibly a CVS..... And everything going wrong again

Audax- I wish I had your strength not to have BT's ... you are very strong!! Will be thinking of you on Friday, what time is your scan?

Maruschke - when is your morph scan hun?

looking forward to sharing this journey with you all

Congrats xx

[Maruschke]

Chepie & Mia & Audax hang in there mum's!

My scan is in 8 days, next thursday.

[luna moth]

9:30 Friday. My mum is coming to visit tomorrow, so that will be a very welcome distraction.

[minniemouse]

Audax: i will be thinking of you friday and hoping all goes well

Maruschke: i will also be thinking of you next week

mia: nice to see you here :-) you have great numbers

mich: i hope that spotting settles, how stressful for you

chepie: welcome also, it is such a scary time isn't it

afm: i had a mini panic attack today as i have a lot of stress going on in my life (aside from the pregnancy) and i rang my clinic to ask for a blood test fri, they told me if i was stressed to call and go in and have one and im worried about what effect this stress is having on the pregnancy. im not feeling anything really and im not convinced there is anything happening in there, do you think thats normal for 5 weeks (tomorrow) ?

[luna moth]

Totally normal minnie!

[Mich8]

Hi Mia - it all sounds really positive, yay Was that hcg at 4 wks 2 days? It looks good. When's your next test?
Audax - don't resist the lure of the thread, ha ha! You have been so strong with the no bloods thing. I'd have them every 2 days if they let me. Friday is so soon - I bet you feel a mixture of excited and terrified. Good fats hey? So is chocolate good fat because all my dieting and exercise has gone out the window with all this stress and I'm devouring chocolate!! Probably not hey?
Maruschke - thanks for the reassurance. One week to your scan, yay
Chepie - I'd love to hold hands, ha ha. I think sharing your stress with other people who are stressing - somehow reduces stress!
Minnie - deep breaths. I think (and hope) no symptoms yet is normal.

I got an episode of bright red light bleeding today followed by a few hours of feeling like I was being stabbed in the uterus. I got upset and kind of resigned myself to the fact that it was all over, then it all disappeared and my boobs got sore. I hate my body I'm feeling fairly calm, whatever will be, will be sort of thing tonight (we'll see how long this lasts!!).

Hi Ladies

Welcome to all the newbies and Big Congrats for the BFP's!! :-)

I know the feeling you are experiencing and its not fun - I'm still a little bit nervous everyday and think I will be until I hold my healthy baby in my arms. I was terribly anxious at the start but did get better day by day. I hope you ladies can breathe a little easier soon too! You will all be in my thoughts and

Sending you all loads of
I think my PG was also about 75 Mich after previous m/c being a lot lower. GL, hope everyones HCG and PG increase nicely.
