Hi Guys!
Quick me first - spreading lots of baby dust and sticky vibes to all hoping this is the lucky thread for you guys who are in the 2 ww!!!
Just wanted to let you know that I had my 2nd scan today and bubs is sticking there (yay! at last) and beating 170 b.p.m. OB said bubs mesures 8 wks 4 days (3 days ahead of schedule) and sack/amnio all looks good and normal. So relieved to get this far without any dramas and my confidence has taken a big jump upwards.
Take care guys, you are still in my thoughts and prayers.

How come I always feel like I haven't been in here for days!.... And I have to fly, cos I'm about to be late for my appt.
BUT- - I couldn't not say this: I wanted to reply to each person since my last post. And OMG, each new post I read made me want to reach out to each of you! So I am doing that. I'm so sorry, just can't spare the tick-ticks right now. I wish you every bit of strength and love and luck you can receive, so that your journey through this is as meaningful as you can allow it to be.
Now what I couldn't go past was Leah - hon, dear heavens what an ordeal! And you're so lovely to have replied to everyone individually even through your own grief. THAT is a hero, mydear. Can I just tell you, I have only had to have 2 d&c's and 2 u/s's for my 6 m/c's. So, I would say, if it was before the 6 wk mark you have probably had a complete natural m/c. Don't concern yourself with further medical intervention at this point. Honestly, and maybe TMI, there would probably not be much there to m/c anyway. When I have had mine (all under 7wks, except the two that "missed", requiring the d&c's - ie. they weren't going anywhere), they have varied between being very light AF's to heavy AF's with bare little clotting.
With regards to whether such an early m/c even "counts" as one, my word it does!!! And you are more than entitled to start pounding that fist on your dr's desk. Perhaps you could start with getting a full blood work done on you and DH, just for starters. Rule things out one by one, so it doesn't seem like a needle in a haystack. I really truly hope you find some answers soon. There are a number of factors which may be causing them.
Lastly, I cannot believe the gumption (I'm sorry, I know they're your friends and they're excited) of people who announce their pg's so early. My BIL and SIL, despite knowing full well about our (at that stage) 4 m/c's, came over to our house specifically to tell us they were 4wks and 3 days pg!!!!! I looked at BIL's fly to see if it was actually even done up yet. Sheesh.
You don't need to be happy for those who are newly pg. Don't say what you don't mean, that's my motto now after all my devastation. And I am a lot freer, more honest with myself and happier to simple "be" around these people if I don't have to keep a frigid smile on my face just so they "think" I'm coping. A genuine smile from me proves I am strong some days, and when it's not there, so be it. They'll just have to cope, no matter how uncomfortable *they* feel with that.
Gosh, sorry for the ramble. I'm late, I'm late, for a not-so-important date........
Love and hugs to everyone, you're in my thoughts.

I choose not to run - Jerry Seinfeld
Hi girls, I have been around but mainly just reading. I am soo hopeless with personals that I only seem to manage a couple at a time and then feel selfish that I have dribbled on about my own situation when there's so many of you in here that need support. Then last night I cooked dinner, served myself, left dh's next two night's meals on the stove as he works afternoon shift and I was going to serve them after I had eaten... and I jumped on here. Next thing I smell something burning - stupid me had shut the hood and not switched off the stove. I have just been so distracted lately that I haven't been a good wife, and realised it after I threw out the blackened meals that were meant to feed hubby. SO I decided I'm gonna spend a lot less time around here and try and get on with things, focusing less energy into thinking about what I've lost, and instead put it into hubby, the pets, my study and work which all seem to be suffering as a result of my not wanting to do anything.
But I will try to pop in occationally to see how you're all going, even if it is just to read. I can't jump on at lunch because our work computers shut out EB, but let me see another forum - I don't understand it!
Anyway I had to say Leah, your post had me in tears - I really feel for you. I am struggling with the one loss, that I couldn't imagine having two losses so close together, yet it was very much a possibility as we were ttc last cycle. Someone made me think about how far along I'd be with my baby this week, and I realised 16w - maybe feeling kicks and probably in maternity clothes. I miss being pregnant, despite the absolute exhaustion I felt, but also the knowledge that I was going to become a Mum. I want that back, and I want my July baby, but it won't happen, so now I just have to wait it out and keep on trying. You are an amazing woman to have taken the time to say hello to us all individually during such a difficult time. And to handle the wedding so well as it sounds you did - what a good friend you are to try and put on the happy face for the bride, even though you were falling apart inside. You deserve the biggest hug I have ((((((hugs)))))))!
Nic, I hope you get some answers soon, and Sharon, I'mvery, very sory that you have to meet up with us Julyers in here, hope you can find the support you need with the lovely girls that follow along with this thread.
Time to do some study now. Hope to here some good news soon from all the 2ww'ers to push us along.

Kbear - Yep I am here... still spotting... still nothing. Have an appointment with my GP today to try and get some ideas. I think 8 days of spotting is a bit much to be ovulation related. Temps are still above the cover line so hopefully it is nothing... just one of those things.
How's everything on your end?

Hey Nut - goodluck today at your GP's. Hope you get the answers you are looking for, especially a BFP.
It has been another teary day. We got the u/s reports and it was very difficult to read knowing everything with the bub was find, just in the wrong place. Then my one of my friends rung shortly after telling me she had her baby yesterday. I am thrilled for her, but it just made me sad. IYKWIM.
Other than that - things will pick up.

HI girls
Posted in the 2ww too - have been lurking there of late - sorry have not posted much, just haven't had anything interesting to say!
So sorry for all the heartache around at the moment - don't know if my news will cheer you up or not, but.... yesterday, 2 days before AF due, and was in a really #$# PMT mood, and though I would top it off by doing my last remaining HPT (can't keep them in the house!)and well, yep, you guessed it - faint BFP! Wrapped it up in a huge box with a bow and presented it to DH last night....he's thrilled, but like me, very nervous...can't quite believe it.
It's going to be a long 4 or so weeks - until I have an ultrasound to hopefully see the heart beat.... (last MC I had no MC symptoms - just went for the US to see him/her, and no heart beat at 8 weeks - looked like bub had stopped developing at 7 weeks.)
I am still in shock and think I will go and have a cup of tea now.
Take care

Ruth! Wonderful wonderful news!!! Congratulations to you and DH. A BFP is a BFP, no matter what the strength!
Curious, then, that I thought I had one three days ago and then yesterday tested and got a BFN.... hmmm!
http://www2.fertilityfriend.com/home/8c272
Potter you're looking fine still! You can see the trend there, I would have said cd13 or 14 even without the coverline, but it's such a relief to get even a dotted line there isn't it!
Hey I'm not down! Someone (sorry can't remember who) said we're all down in here.... well just wanted to let you know I'm ok! (today, this hour, this second LOL)
Bellac - I have always known them to be called dilation and curettages. But this last time I had a suction curette (I guess without the dilation part). It's curious! Maybe someone else in here has a better explanation.

Hello all
Ruth what fantastic news. Congratulations. It is a very stressful time waiting for that u/s. Every ache and pain you think the worse, it is very hard to relax. Perhaps you could get your hcg levels done or maybe an u/s at 6 weeks instead of 8. Well done!!!!
Bella: thanks to my medical dictionary:
Suction curettage
" a method of curettage in which a specimen of the endometrium or the products of conception are removed from the uterus by aspiration ( suction)
D/c: Dilatation of the cervix and scrapping of the endometrium of the uterus.
So the difference: Suction as opposed to scrapping. HTH.
Potter: I am sorry if i have made this thread sad or down. I will bring happy thoughts and lots of baby dust in the future.

Hi Girls
Hey kbear please don't feel like you can't say how you
feel in here... thats what we are all here for!
I have had more than my fair share of teary, venting
days posts in here. I was just trying to make myself
be a bit more positive... I am certainly NOT trying to
inflict that on anyone else!!
we all have our down days, weeks, months.... and it is
always a relief to come in here and vent because you
know that everyone understands where as family/friends
don't usually get it.
take care everyone.

Hi Bellac
The ttc is on hold for two reasons. I have had three d/c's in 4 months and my poor cervix and uterus need a break. Not to mention that in 8 months i have been pg for 20 weeks. Scary seeing it like that.
The other reason is i have to have my gallbladder out in April. I had an attack just before i found out i was pg with the ectopic. I am think and my general surgeon agrees that it may have had something to do with the Ectopic.
Dh wants to wait 12 months as my body has been through a lot. I dont want to wait longer than is neccesary. So i will wait 2 months after the lap for the gallbladder.
Potter: i know that i can come in here and vent and be upset. I just try not to post to much negativity. As you say it is so good to come in here and everyone knows what it is like. Thank goodness for EB!!!!

Hi Ladies,
Helli & ruth - hello, and yay, how exciting! Sticky vibes !!
potter - these ff charts are a mystery to me, but wishing you all the best!!
bellac - sorry for your loss
interesting about the d&s causing less pain/bleeding...
kbear - must have been hard reading the u/s (followed by the phone call), ((((hugs))))
And good wishes to all I have missed.
This has been a better week... spoke to obs on monday, and my bloods have shown up antibodies which may be why my waters broke (somehow, he didn't elaborate). Don't know if this is good or bad news, but for some reason it made me feel better talking about it to him. Think I will have to start researching this fertility charting stuff to be ready to go for it after we get the all clear in 2 weeks (hopefully!).

Hey ladies
Ruth - congrats! Wishing you a speedy 4 weeks. It's torture isn't it?
Well, I am both excited and terrified, and feel really guilty. I got a BFP on Friday!!! I just wish I could share it with all of you and that we could all have October babies! So Ruth - know exactly how you feel. Although I have a pretty good feeling this time (but I still panic about every twinge and just wish I could fly in a time machine to 3.5 weeks in the future!!!) So we have told no one (IRL anyway, and only here and the new Due in group on here) Will wait until we know we have a heartbeat or not.
To all those who are having a hard time at the moment - a big hug for you. What do they say - what doesn't kill us makes up stronger. Not much comfort, but it WILL happen.
Ok, DD is going off her nut (been one of *those* days

So Ruth - know exactly how you feel. Although I have a pretty good feeling this time (but I still panic about every twinge and just wish I could fly in a time machine to 3.5 weeks in the future!!!) So we have told no one (IRL anyway, and only here and the new Due in group on here) Will wait until we know we have a heartbeat or not.
To all those who are having a hard time at the moment - a big hug for you. What do they say - what doesn't kill us makes up stronger. Not much comfort, but it WILL happen.
Ok, DD is going off her nut (been one of *those* days

Congrats to the BFP-ers!!! I want one...
Brief update. Doctor was not really helpful. He said that with the pain it could have been O pain... not sure... and that if it was O pain the bleeding is unrelated.
Have an ultrasound booked for 12pm tomorrow so hopefully we will know at least where I stand.

Hello everyone!!
I know I've been a stranger lately - I was just feeling like a bit of an old timer here, it's been over 8 months since m/c and nothing I do has brought a bfp yet. I've been concentrating instead on getting fit, losing a bit of weight and working more efficiently (?!) rather than being constantly down each time AF arrives. Even booked an overseas hol in May just to give me something to look forward to.
Ruth and Amanda - Amazing news!!!! Wishing you a very sticky 8 months ahead and don't forget to drop by with some baby dust every now and then.
Helli - congratulations on your u/s. Thats great news. Fingers crossed for you.
Celtic - way to go with your job! Hope all's well with you.
Leah - sorry you had to join us here again.
Nut - loved your pedestrian analogy - so true - I see it in the city every day.
Hey Potter, Kirril & Kbear - how's everything?
Hello and a sad welcome to those who've joined us since I last posted. It is a great support and has helped me through many a dark day. I update the babydoves list on the thread next door. If you want to be added, or details changed pm me or add a note to that thread. It's nice to see when people graduate.
Sorry to those I haven't mentioned, but I am thinking of you.
It's CD30 for me, and wouldn't you believe it, the HPT was faulty and didn't work at all! I'll save the last one for tomorrow, but don't like my chances as the symptoms are minimal.

Thanks Kirril and jgal for your kind words. jgal I think you're on the right track. I have to try and be more positive too - my hubby needs me to be. Boys are so funny. They feel so guilty if they can't fix all your problems for you. But I know I'll need my sad time now and then too.
To all those who have BFPs - good luck. I just wish I could be there again, but for me at least the BFPs aren't the issue - it's after that I have problems . . . sticky sticky vibes to you all.xx
Kirril, could I ask about your symptoms post-early m/c? I am still spotting. So spotting started on the 1st Feb, got heavy on the 3rd, continued until the 7th, and I'm still suffering brown spotting sometimes and at other times only light staining of discharge (sorry all - TMI!) Should I expect this to stop any time soon? Will my hormone levels return to normal fairly quickly do you think? Any ideas appreciated. xx

Leah, I'm actually pretty clueless about the hormones side of things. M/C had become so routine that I didn't even go to a dr to have a checkup so there were no followup BT's or anything for me.
Re the spotting: sometimes it can continue for weeks on end. If it doesn't clear up by, say, end Feb or within the next week etc. I'd consider going to a gp to discuss further. You may need a curette to "finish" things - I had to have this once when I spotted for around 3 months non stop, never getting normal AF back (but it was because of a cyst, not m/c).
Guess you could call me lucky: my m/c's are, gee, nice and "neat"..... spotting, then (TMI) the main part which mostly isn't any worse than AF - except the excruciating pain - then spotting peters out within a couple of days (the length of this process varies from two to 7 or 8 days roughly).
HTH, though I don't think it's answered you very well!
Cheerio to everyone else - I'm going back to bed LOL!
Please oh please be a healthy BFP...

Hi Lovely girls!
Yeah, I have been MIA again but the fone lines have been red hot to the UK so havent been on much. Geez when the sh*t hits the fan doesn't it fly!
My DSM had a hip replacement op. The op went well but she developed a blood clot on the internal op site. We had a few worrying days, but she is such fighter!
Anyway, she is getting on the mend now thank goodness!
Neglected my mum due to this, finally got through to find that my Dad has been having stomach pains again, he had stomach cancer 2yrs ago. He went for a scan 2 weeks ago. The buggar has spread to his liver and he starts Chemo this week. He is such a lovely man, my step dad since I was 14. As per ususal my mum is taking out on me! I know that she has to on someone but she really hits below the belt. I said that i would come home, No dont bother, she said, everytime you said you were coming, u havent and I know that you dont want to! ***! The first time I had to cancel cos of my first M/C and this time the DR wouldnt let me fly due to M/c 2! We had it all arranged for feb 5th but he was concerned cos I was still bleeding etc in Dec.I said surely if I am still bleeding that should be ok, no he said cos u r still forming clots. DVT and all that stuff! If I say that to my mum, I am called selfish and only thinking of myself! To top it all, she said Oh your Aunty thought that she should have the encyclopedeas(really ancient worthless books but sentimental). I rang her to say if she wanted them that badly she could have them. Now I am the Wicked witch of the West cos I have upset my Aunty! Oops sorry, cos I couldnt fly back last year my mum has my books and stuff stored in her garage. Well damn me for breathing!
Sorry of I sound so selfish in that vent but I am really upset about my Step Dad and feel so helpless!
Congrats to our 3 lovely BFPs! Lots of love and sticky vibes to you!
Love and hugs to all you lovely girls, to upset to do personnals but I am thinking of you all! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Celtic - selfish in your post? Anything but! It's such a b*tch when family just don't get it. You were told not to go for medical reasons. Darn and it's so hard cos part of you would want to explain to defend yourself but the other part wouldn't want the hurt of the retaliatory comment you'd get for explaining.... nnnghh!
Wish I could help you! You're such a vibrant light. I hate to see you hurt.
I really hope you find a way to see your step Dad, your affection for him is jumping out of your post. Is there any way you can talk on the phone at least? Or is he not at home?
Thinking of ya. *kiss kiss*
I think I might go and get a HPT today. BFN three days ago, but I'm cd30 and on 16dpo with an elevated temp still. ...They tell me that if it is still up at 18dpo, there can be no other reason but the "big one"! *shaky in the knees* LOL

Hi everyone, I've been reading some of your posts and would like to join in with you lovely ladies.
My name's Lou, I miscarried my second child in October, my partner's first. It was a missed miscarriage, everything seemed fine (boobs were sore, things felt like they were stretching) until I got a tiny bit of spotting at 8 1/2 weeks. I had an ultrasound which showed that bubs stopped growing at around 6 weeks. I had another ultrasound just to be sure and a D&C a week later. It was all such a shock, I'd been feeling great and my first pregnancy was a breeze - I guess I fancied myself as too good at being pregnant for anything like that to happen to me.
We decided to wait until my first cycle after the D&C to start trying for another baby, unfortunately that cycle took 9 weeks. But everything is back to normal now and this is our second cycle of trying. My period is due today so fingers crossed..
Looking forward to getting to know you all - but hopefully in another thread!

huge Congratulations to those with little babies growing nicely in their snuggly warm tummies.
To those still spotting it could be retained placenta so the ultrasound can pick up on this and they may need to do a d&c to clean your uterus of the placenta.
I went to the doctors today and said I wanted blood tests to see if I have any blood clotting disorders and he is either going to refer me to a specialist who knows about these things or when he rings him tonight he may just ask what tests to do and then do them for me. I said nicely that I just want to make sure before falling pregnant again just to lose another baby and its not as if I imagined the other babies but they are real babies lost and so I think its fair to want some explaination or answers and possible help and he understood completely. So if they do come back positive or neg then we will know either I will be alright or I will need some help. I will let you know how things go. I just dont want to risk another little babies life lost.

hi my name is debb
just joined the forum a couple of days ago hoping to become good internet friends with a lot of you ladies
my oh & l have just recently had our 3 m/c this was the worse by far as we were supposed to be 16 weeks but something happened at 13 weeks?? according to the u/s so had to be admitted into hosp as they couldn't perform a d & c
we have a appointment at the rwh late march so hoping that it is just 3rd time unlucky

Well ultrasound did not help much. There is no obvious cause for the bleeding and it seems that after 3 months my PCOS has returned... to quote the report:
"Both ovaries are enlarged with an echopattern confirming polycystic ovaries"
So guess with my miscarriage that was just a once off bit of luck.

Oh gals! Deary me.
Nut - I'm so sorry about the PCOS. What a buggar - buggar and damn. I don't know much about PCOS - does it come and go all by itself?
Rataholic - so sorry you had to join us, but we are a nice bunch (if I do say so myself). Have you had any successful pgs?
Good on you mums the word. Get whatever testing you want. I plan to ask my obgyn all about this on Monday too. Shall ask him about the spotting also, thanks.
Lou - also sorry you had to join us, but I'm sure you'll be moving along soon. Hopefully just a spot of bad luck last time. I'm very sorry for your loss.
bellac - what an awful way to be feeling! Maybe you can talk to your ob to seek some reassurance that things really had ended naturally before your D&C?
I know for my first m/c, I saw that little heart beat flickering on screen the first time I had an u/s at 7 wks - very distinct - couldn't miss it. The second time, only 4 days later - nothing at all - not a blip. The sonographer was very thorough. That was at less than 8 weeks, so if they couldn't detect anything at 9 then . . .
Did you have the transvag u/s? That would be accurate surely? Try not to doubt yourself. You've got enough to worry about without that too. hugs to you.
Kirril! You've made me excited. Good luck. Everything crossed. Thanks for the info on post m/c symptoms. x
Celtic - vent away! Can't believe your mum thinks you would be selfish for following your doc's orders! I'm sorry about your step dad - my ma fought cancer twice and beat it, but that was breast & lymph glands - don't know how agressive it is in the liver. My thoughts are with your family at this horrible time.
My family news is that my dad fell off his motorbike on Monday and broke his arm - DH and I cooked him dinner last night and chopped up his steak for him! Ha!
Gotta run.
Ciao!

Leah - PCOS takes aa bit to explain effectively but basically it means that ovulation is few and far between.
I was diagnosed with it 6 years ago but when I had a scan done in October (when I found out I was pregnant) it said that my ovaries were normal and contained no signs of PCOS.

Congrats to those who are Pregnant. Sending you lots of sticky dust so you can keep those bubs.
Had a call from my OB today and he said my hCG levels are at 1 now, so I dont need to see him next Monday after all. I dont even have to have a D/C so I was told. I made an appointment to see him next month so that I can go on some fertility pills to kind of give me a head start on Mother Nature. I want to see if I can get some of my weight off before I TTC.
Okay, I need some answers. Im totally new to this computer talk or is it just the language used in here.
What are BFP’s, AF? Okay, so what is cd is? Im trying to follow all of what I read here, but sometimes, its like, “Man Im in a whole new world here”.
I guessed that BT's are Blood Tests, but some of the other abreviations are confusing. Forgive my ignorance please. ;p

Celtic - really sorry to hear about you step dad. I really hope he pulls through. I lost my dear step dad fifteen years ago to a brain tumour and I still feel so sad when I think about him - he was such a wonderful man and didn't deserve to go that way.
Bellac - the internet is a very dangerous thing, don't believe everything you read (unless on this site of course!). You were 9 weeks along so I think it would have been fairly clear if there was a baby there or not. Perhaps early on at say 5 weeks, it is easier to misdiagnose a blighted ovum.
Ruth and Amanda - YAY!!!!! Best of luck over the next few weeks and beyond..
Fiona - there is a posting here somewhere with all the acronmys on it, does anyone know where it is? I'll try and find it for you...
Nic - sorry about the PCOS. Is there a chance the sonographer is wrong? It turns out mine was when they said I had a suspected Arteriovenus Malformation and it was retained placenta...
As for me, I had my hysteroscopy yesterday and they removed another bit of placenta. My god, if this isn't the end of it I think I might lose it. I nearly did bigtime yesterday in the hospital after being made to wait for hours and hours for the op... they showed me the pictures of the placenta attached afterwards...truly amazing, and no wonder my HCG levels took so long to come down.
The GYN recommended I let the uterus heal this cycle and then try again next cycle. I feel pretty positive about it all today. Fiji, here we come!!!
A big hello and hug to everyone else.
Jaytee

Hey all,
Well entered my temps into FF this morning and it gave me a dotted coverline at CD16. Said my microscope results didn't match up. Well I never saw any ferning at all so don't know if I should take it out all together.
Not sure if I totally agree.
Anyway, FF thinks I'm 3 DPO so I'll run with that.
Had my specialist appt yesterday and am happy with the results.
He sent me off for 'day 21' progesterone. He said it should be mid luteal phase which is supposed to be day 21 or 7 days before expected AF, so for me on 9 or 10 LP that was yesterday. Did some thrombosis testing and some antibody testing and prolactin too and a whole range of other things. About 7 vials of blood in all. Should get the results mid next week.
He said if they're all clear, try for 2 more cycles, keep charting and come back and he'll look at Clomid for me. Said there's no endo, but mild PCOS, looking at my cycle, hairgrowth (not much but a bit more than normal) history of weight (which I have to work hard at) and skin (another thing I have to work hard at keeping nice).
He thinks my short LP could be progesterone related and would probably be sorted out using Clomid. But would like my body to have a couple more cycles on its own and see if I fall pg naturally and if it sorts itself out.
In regards to management for another pg he said he'll monitor me with HCG and regular scans to check progression and also so we're in the best position for testing and investigation should something (heaven forbid) go wrong again. He suggested if I have another m/c for both Paul and I and the bub to have genetic testing.
But all in all he thinks its probably just a run of bad luck!!
So unless something major shows up in the bloods, its back in 2 months.
Thanks for listening all.
Cheers
Kell

Jaytee - As nice as it would be to think it was something else, I doubt it. Ovaries have taken on the very PCO look again and are enlarged. Am going to talk to the doctor again today and request that I get put back on Metformin and perhaps go see a Gyno. I might even consider going strait to Chlomid... I do not want to sit here for 2 years trying to fall pregnant. After I was first diagnosed with PCOS is took me 3 years to get a normal cycle going and then I went on the Pill for birth control reasons. Now after this who knows how long it will take for things to settle.

Sorry Nic about the PCOS so annoying for you. I hope they put you on the clomid and you produce twins,lol. We will think that is what will happen, happy thoughts for you. So annoying though, sorry.

Thanks so much for all your good wishes everyone.Trying to get up confidence to move next door, but still lurking here! Kbear, I will talk with GP next week re getting an u/s before 8 weeks, but my 2 x mc would have been ok at that stage, it was only at the 8 week stage when there was not heart beat (and 6 -7 week sac) that we knew it wasn't happening - afraid if i have an earlier u/s, I will get my hopes up.
SO I guess patience is the only option! My DH says I am a very patient person - as long as I get want I want when I want it!!lol!
Anyway, Thanks again, and looking forward to catching up with all of you next door.
Take care

Hello all, good luck to the ones with little jelly beans in their tum tums. My condolensences to the ladies who have joined us. Just think that we are a unique group of wonderful ladies who will share something that many people will never understand.
I've been lurking waiting for my appointment with the Professor at the clinic. He asked about my last 2 m/c's, and when I said the 1st one had a heart beat before it m/c, he asked if there was any additional testing and I said no, and he was like with a big sigh "some doctors think it's only 2 m/cs and don't warrant it for futher investigation, but if there's a heartbeat in the beginning that is something to be concerned about". I could almost kiss this man, and I only knew him for 5 minutes! To cut a long story short myself and dh need to have some blood tests and the results will take about 1 month for one of them to come through, so when we come back we'll have some results. It's just so invigorating (is that the right word?) to hear someone in the medical professinal agree with you for futher testing. I went today and one of the tests was one to check insuline levels. Took almost 3 hours. Anyone else have that one?
So now looks like no ttc in Paris better wait until the results. 2 weeks till our big o/s rip, not that I'm hanging out for it at all!

Thank you for the help with the abreviations ginnyk. I have looked them up and I feel as though I am speaking the same language as you all now.
I was telling my sister in law about this web site. She was astonished that there was one for women who have problems with M/c. She said that she was glad we could all help each other and I could get the support from women who actually understood what I am going through. Although, my oldest sister has had over 19 m/c in her life, she is very lucky to have two lovely boys.
One of the girls who works with me has started the IVF and discovered today that she isnt producing enough eggs to start her first cycle this month.
Have a great trip to Paris buzzer, dont forget to make the trip to the perfume factory, you can get the French perfumes really cheap. Ones like White Linen etc.
Okay, bed time for me, busy weekend cleaning...ewwwww

Hello Girls
Sorry I have been MIA - I have been reading all the posts though. I have kept quiet as I have been abit down but starting to get better now.
I saw my GP yesterday and had another BT to check my hormone levels are disappearing. I won't get the result till next week. Hopefully it will be minimal so I won't need a D & C.
She is sending me off for genetic counselling and I am having basic chromosome testing. This makes me feel so much better, and will help lessen (well, if thats possible..) my scared thoughts about TCC and it happening again. She is doing this seeing as my SIL has Turners Syndrome, and DH cousin is DS, and MIL had 3 miscarriages from 5 pregnancies......so yep, some might think this is too early, but its only a few tests and it will be reassuring to talk to someone.
Congrats on the BFP's!!!!!! Have a STICKY time!
Its sad to see we have newbies, but girls, I have found the group in this thread to be so loving and caring. You girls were the only ones I spoke to for 3 days after my MC, and your comments were so lovely. THANKYOU.
Have a nice w/end, and will keep in touch,

Bellac - It's mainly known as Trisomy 22 but I have come across reference to it (or something related to it) as Cat Eye Syndrome. I have read about it somewhere. There are varying levels of it (as with any chromosomal issue). If you look up Trisomy 22 you should be able to find some info on it.

Hi girls,
Just wondering if someone would like to take over updating the Babydoves Inc list for a while. I'm obviously not coming on here as much as I used to and I'm going to give it a rest for a bit while I get my life back on track and stop obsessing quite so much about why I'm not pg yet.
PM me and I'll email you the file. I've added it below just for those who haven't seen it, but I have been putting it in a separate thread next door just because its so big.
Sorry to those girls who've just joined us here. I hope your stay is short and sweet.

The Babydoves Incorporated List
Welcome to the all new “Babydoves Incorporated” List. – The list of those brave enough to stare a m/c (or multiple ones) in the face and say “You are not going to defeat me ! I WILL get my baby!”
“There are no words with enough power to comfort you and nothing I can do to change things.
But maybe just knowing that I am here will help.
Take my hand when you feel alone…Walk with me when your heart needs company...Turn to me when you need someone to lean on…
Because I am your friend…Because I will always care”
Mary Miro
I am sure to get some things wrong – so please don’t get upset if I do – just PM me the way it should be and I will fix it right up.

Welcome to the all new “Babydoves Incorporated” List. – The list of those brave enough to stare a m/c (or multiple ones) in the face and say “You are not going to defeat me ! I WILL get my baby!”
“There are no words with enough power to comfort you and nothing I can do to change things.
But maybe just knowing that I am here will help.
Take my hand when you feel alone…Walk with me when your heart needs company...Turn to me when you need someone to lean on…
Because I am your friend…Because I will always care”
Mary Miro
I am sure to get some things wrong – so please don’t get upset if I do – just PM me the way it should be and I will fix it right up.

Hi everyone,
Saying Hello for the first time in a while, but I've been reading about you all in the meantime. Some of you guys have been through a pretty harrowing time of late.
JT - I've been thinking about you heaps with your hysteroscopy and all theo ther stuff that's been going on. Bummer that you had to wait in the hospital, it's bad enough having to wait for things like that when we're at home, and able to log on here!! They should have bought you a laptop!!!LOL. Were they able to show you actual photos of the part of placenta that was stuck? That must really help you to know that it's all over now. Fingers crossed!! Have a great holiday, you deserve some restful, relaxing time.
Nic - That's such a huge bummer! It sounds like you're thinking about this in a really positive way, though (or as much as you could, anyway). Sounds great to be trying to get treatment working for you asap, rather than waiting. Waiting is soooooo hard!
Debb - Sorry you had to find this thread, but glad if we can all help in some way. Sounds like you've had a rotten time, but you're in good company!
Mandy - That sounds soooooooo romantic. Hope you get that Paris baby!!
As for us - The last u/s on Friday showed a clear uterus (no more placenta) but I'm still bleeding heavily. It's possibly only a long period, of course this is what I'm hoping for! I think I'm feeling that this would be too good to be true, so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet (that I'm back to normal, that is). I think it's only time now that will let me get my head around being back to normal (if I am). Does that make sense?
Hi to everyone else and BIG CONGRATS to those with a BFP! Wishing you sticky baby dust.

Hi all
I think i have been like a lot of others atm, just lurking not a lot of posting.
I have been to the Naturopath for some new herbs to get me going and it was good to have a chat with her again.
I am also seeing my weight management dr again. The first big weigh in is tomorrow...aggh...had my sister's 30th today and ate a bit more than i should have.
I finally bought a new pusher for dd2 so i can go walking and even invested in a new pair of runners. I am motivated atm, how long it lasts is another matter.
ANd....i o'd!!! Yippee, first o since the ectopic. Just pleased to know that my ovaries are working and hopefully if it was the right ovary the left tube picked it up. Hopefully AF will turn up in 14 days. Strange arent i looking forward to AF?? Well 3 months til we can ttc!!!
goodnight all

Thanks everyone for your kind words of welcome. I've been reading through some of your posts and I can see what a warm, brave and supportive bunch of women you are.
But it looks like I won't be getting to know you in this thread after all - at least I hope so. The day after i posted my ever first EB message to this thread, I was one day late and did a home pg test. To my surprise it was a faint BFP! Posting here must have brought me luck... I feel like i'm rubbing your noses in it though, it must look like it was so easy for me, after what some of you have been through. But believe me those 4 months since the m/c have been very long ones.
Ruth, I know how you feel, one part of me is excited but I can't let myself get too carried away. Once I get past the 8 week mark and see a heartbeat I think I'll be able to embrace the pregnancy a lot more.
Good luck to everyone in here, there's been quite a few BFPs lately, I hope it's catching and that I'll be seeing you in the Pregnant after m/c thread soon.
