Cherished - just wanted to send you a huge hug:comfort: My thoughts are with you
Cherished - very sorry to read your sad news, it's devastating to loose a much wanted bub. Be kind to yourself, and take things easy for a while. There are a number of us in here with multiple losses - and I swear that eventually we will all get that much longed for baby. I hope your next pregnancy is the one. Hope you have someone looking after you :hug:
Pash - hi girl - thanks for checking on me. I'm so happy things are progressing well for you - and good for you buying those maternity jeans. You're a trendsetter!!! I have a confession - I've kept wearing this denim maternity skirt I had with Remy - just cos it's so comfortable. How have you been feeling? It's all good, and by god you deserve it!! By the way - are you finding out if you're carrying a hot dog or a cheeseburger at your next scan!
Meredith - How you doing? Good to see your ticker past the halfway mark. What a ride it's been for you. Not that long now hun. And congrats on having a pink one - just lovely!!
Hi to everyone else - sorry but will try to get to know everyone in here as I go.
AFM - Symptoms still running rampant. So tired, and the nausea has STILL not left the building, but I'm hoping for brighter days ahead. Thank god dd1 still enjoys day sleeps, I've been joining her! Have my nuchal scan this Thursday - and for those of you who know me - it's a bit of a scary one for me - so I'll be very glad to get it out of the way, and praying for a low risk good result.
BB again soon.

Cherished - I am so very sorry, that is such sad news. Sending :comfort: take care.
thanks girls.....
I got very drunk last night... THANK GOD! I have a dr's app today to get another HCG test but it is pointless as the scan showed no signs of pregnancy.... Is it worth having so that I can compare them for my next pregnancy? I kinda think that each pg is different and why bother iykwim? I had a HCG test on Monday (the day I actually miscarried) and if the scan had of been ok the one today would have showed me in the HCG was going up or down.... obviously it is going down! What do you all reckon?
I am off to work now for 3 hours than I have the day off with dh again....
Cherished, I'd be inclined to get it checked just to make sure that it really is going down - you are right though, I wouldn't use it to compare your next pregnancy, they are all different. Certainly my HCG levels were higher in my pregnancy that miscarried at 12 weeks than they have been in this one, so I personally don't think it is helpful to compare.
Big :hug: hun, take it easy today.
Cherished I'm so sorry, that is just devastating :hug: to both you and DH.
About the HCG, I would get the test just in case. Two reasons: 1) I had no heartbeat at my 6wk scan, and I was spotting with (small) clots. I (and my London Ob) thought it was all over, so I drank some wine, ate half a wheel of camembert. The next week, flew back to Aus, saw my Aussie ob, and there was a heartbeat on the scan. I don't want to give you false hope, but it is good to be sure. 2) If it is all over, It's good to know that that your HCG has gone back down to normal and that your body is coping. It's not much fun and you can always POAS later to make sure your HCG is back down I guess.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this again. It's just not fair. You're such a strong chick to head to work after this. Take care of you both :hug:
Lee Not good that the MS & tiredness is knocking you about, but the midday naps sound lovely. Wish I could have a bit of that too! All the best for your NT scan tomorrow. Will be thinking of you. I totally understand that sweaty-palmed-deer-in-the-headlights feeling just before a scan. Do they do BTs as well for the NT risk?
Oh, and I won't be finding out whether monkey is sporting a cheeseburger/hot dog! I'm not really a pink-for-girl-blue-for-boy kinda girl. And in my culture, we're theoretically not meant to name or buy anything for the baby until it's born anyway. Not that we'll stick to that exactly. But I think we'll love it no matter what, so we'll just wait and see. Are you going to find out?
AFM I had an appt with the MW today, and the HB sounded good to me. Though she didn't do the 2nd of the NT bloods cos I'd been bleeding and apparently that can falsely push up the risk? Don't know why? If I keep bleeding, she said I should come in and see one of the Obs on Friday to try to figure out why I'm still bleeding (and still no exercise, no DTD). Otherwise NT bloods next week.
Thanks Megs mum and pash, I know what you mean about being told it is all over with no heart beat etc and then finding one... but the scan showed no signs of pregnancy, no sack, no fetal pole, no heartbeat etc .... she said if I am still pregnant it is not a normal scan and based on the description of what I passed on Monday I did have a misscarriage. She did an ultrasound on the stomach and an internal one just to make sure but she couldnt' see any signs of pregnancy..... I will ge tthe tests done anyway it's not far out of my way so I will go.
Thanks again
Oh Cherished - so so sorry to hear of your loss. Just so devastating as we all know. Might be worth thinking about asking your Dr for some extra tests given this is your 2nd m/c. A lot will just recc having them after 3 losses but I requested them after my 2nd. I couldn't bear the thought of going through another loss if there was something that maybe could be done.
I hope you can take some time off to recover an grieve for your angel.
Cherished - My heart goes out to you. Take the time you need to grieve for your angel and heal. Big Hugs xox
Cherished - I`m so sorry hun, yes I`d get another hcg BT just to make sure the levels are dropping, I had both a scan and HCG levels checked when I miscarried just before I conceived this little boy I`m carrying now.
Oh Cherrished I am so sorry :hug: Hope the test help put your mind at ease.
Cherished - I am os sorry for your loss. No words can make you feel better but I hope our words gie you some comfort. Take care of yourself xxxx
Hello girls and BIG HUGS for all for being so wonderful! :grouphug:
The HCG from Monday (6 weeks and 2 days) was 650 whereas at 4 weeks 3 days it was 840 so there was no need for another HCG test. We got a referral for another ultrasound to get done after my 1st AF to make sure that everything is 'good to go again' and we got a referral for dh to get hes swimmers checked. dh is also calling my ob tomorrow to see if they can help with anything if we see him and dh is also calling a fertillity clinic which my ob is also a partner in.... So 'we will see'.
Thanks again everyone and take care xoxoox
Cherished :hug: I'm so sorry.
Hi girls, just to let you know I had my NT scan - and got a measurement of 1.4mm - which is normal - waiting on the blood results next week - but at least so far so good. Lovely to see a happy wriggling little bub in there. Very relieved indeed.
Cherished - your DH sounds like a good man - taking care of you, hope you are doing okay, as good as you can. Hugs.

Hi All,
Just a quick question for those that came over from the TTC thread..... any one heard from Jen?? Jen doesn't seem to be posting in the TTC anymore.
Would love to here how she is going?
Hi Easha, Jen and some others have changed to another forum! if you pm me I think I got messaged the name of it.
afm - had a quick sacn with ob last night and baby is still looking good. Im actually not seeing him for 3 weeks now (instead of 2) so being ver brave!!! I have a cardiac scan in a week and a half anyways so will be able to check the bubs then!!!
Hello ladies! It has been awhile since I have been around the TTC forums, but it is good to see many of you have moved over to this one! Well, I got a BFP a week ago at 4w2d. I went in to have some blood work done and my hcg was 153 at 9DPO. I went back at 13 dpo and my levels went up to 930. At first I was incredibly relieved and thought I would be resting easy until my ultrasound (2 weeks from tomorrow), but today I am even more worried then I have been this whole week! I have absolutely no symptoms at 5w2d. I know it is normal to stress after having been through a m/c, and more than likely everything will be fine. I just wish I didn't have to wait so long to have an u/s! Please keep your fingers crossed for me! I will be keeping all of you wonderful ladies in my prayers.
