    WTH - I'm so sorry sweetheart, and I hear you on the hurt of changing the sig. That was the thing that really snapped me into feeling sad after my m/c last June. I'm glad to hear DH will be home to look after you and DD. Take good care of yourself chick, thinking of you. And good on your OB for staying optimistic and determined to get your baby to you

    Ruthie - let us know how the appointment goes Lucky girl to get in so soon!

    Jen - I remembered you mentioned about cramps after DTD..so that relieved me a bit. Still trying to hold on!

    Joey - I'm glad to hear you got an appointment so soon. There's nothing worse than waiting! Good luck.

    AFM - minor (?) crisis this afternoon. Had my lunch and bought a baby magazine (couldn't resist as I've allowed myself to get just a little bit hopeful and excited), and when I got back to work and went to the toilet, there was a little bit of watery spotting. I totally got depressed and was sure for the rest of the afternoon that my period had simply reverted to a 28 day cycle and she was here. But now I've come home and been to the toilet again and there's basically nothing there at all when I wiped. Just the tiniest pink tinge to the CM on the first wipe and nothing on the second (sorry if TMI). I'm also still having virtually no cramps at all, just very mild and infrequent twinges. So there's still hope. I'll buy a test tomorrow night after work if AF hasn't shown.

    I was sure AF had come to punish me for buying that magazine! I get so superstitious, I suppose we all do. I've been tring to think 'If I'm not pg, it's an opportunity to lose weight before conceiving', but it's not quite enough to replace being pregnant. Fingers crossed.

    Question I didnt have a D&C

    Hi
    thanks for every1 words of support.....
    Joel123- Hi, thanks, no i didnt have D&C and im not sure if that was better, when i had my first m/c i had one and then everything was ok no pain no bleeding etc.
    but now is only pain...bleeding feeling bad....this is physically...i didnt have the choice they said it was only 10% of "baby" or conception tissue and i didnt need tgo have a D&C...im scare something can go wrong i read bad experiences & good experiences....i feel today like this is no over yet (a lot of cramps) an strong painkillers..so i called my doc and ask for an appoitment.

    Thanks!!!:

    Hi Sandy - I really hope you feel better soon. I'm not sure, but I think may be it's better when your body cleans itself rather than having intervention. With a D&C they scrape the walls, so you would definately need to wait at least a month for the lining to thicken up again. The pain should go away soon, but if it doesn't, make sure you go and see your GP.

    Hope you are feeling better soon.

    Take care of yourself. Rest up.

    WTH - I am so so sorry to hear your news. Big hun and make sure that you are being very kind to yourself. I am glad to hear that your dh can take some time off to look after you. Hoping that the additional procedures will give you some answers...

    Joey - sounds like the universe is really looking after you with the appts. GL for tomorrow and don't leave the room until you have all the answers you need and lots of scripts for lots of progesterone

    Acria - fingers crossed that it was just implantation bleed and not the witch AF! When will you test? Completely understand the superstition thing too

    Ruthie - wow - congrats on the bfp Unfortunately the pics were removed before I could see them but sounds as though everyone that did see them said YES! Yay!! GL with getting an appt to get the pg confirmed.

    Tutmae - I have also just read your post on Lilah's story - and I'm just so sorry to hear just how difficult that journey was for you.Big I can see that o is fast approaching - have fun bd and hopefully the 2ww will be very gentle on you

    Easha - I am so sorry to hear that AF made an appearance. Hope you are doing ok...

    pbstar - have fun bd'ing and catching that eggie!

    Angel Babies - that bfp sounds so very very close....

    Jen - Thanks for your bloating story (did that just sound very strange !?!). I'm starting to get people glancing at my tum - when I finally do tell they'll be so surprised I'm not due until Feb!! I hope you are doing ok - not good to hear those cramps have made you throw up. And can I just say that "brain fart" is the best thing I've ever heard

    Krystielove - thinking of you and hoping that you're doing ok. Good to hear that you have picked up extra shifts - makes the time go quicker as well as adding to that baby fund!

    AFM - left work early today - we got evacuated because of fumes (eek). Thankfully it was fine on my side of the building and it was just a precaution for us really but jeez, not really what I want to hear! Bit nervous about going in tomorrow but I think I'll call my boss before i go in to check that its all safe (she knows I'm pg). Otherwise doing pretty good, still feeling sick and have sore bbs (yay) - and very very keen for my 11 Aug scan to roll around

    Loads of and for everyone - waves and hellos to those that I missed. I'm thinking of you all...

    sandy... I also had a "natural" mc and what you are explaining is the same as what I went through... the bleeding took over a week to stop and the cramping required pain killers for about a week. The day after the second twin I went to the A & E who confirmed the MC was complete and perscribed strong pain killers. It then took about 30 days to AF and then cycles have been normal since then. I have not had a D & C so I dont know how to compare the two.
