Hi there,
I am new to this forum and have posted my story in the "Your Stories" thread.
I have just suffered my 4th miscarriage and and feeling the strain of the rollercoaster that is infertility.
Was hoping to hear some positive stories from ladies who have suffered recurrent miscarriage and are now pregnant again.
Best wishes to you all and I look forward to hearing about your journeys.

Tomorrow is D day. Will have to wait and see how I feel when I wake up. I'm a bit scared, but i'm reasured also because I have no spotting or cramping. I've still very much got M/S so somehow that is a comfort too.

Hope your all well.

Hi

Sorry. This is a me post.

I have got back some disturbing BT results today at 5 weeks 1 day.. Estrogen and HCG are ok, but my progesterone has dropped from 170.7 to 89.4 in just six days. I know 89.4 is a decent non-medicated number, but what is relevant is the massive drop

. I am barely feeling any symptoms since last week and my progesterone dropped at exactly the same time last PG which resulted in MC after HB detected. My FS has agreed to low-dose progesterone suppositories (1 x 100mg) which I will start tonight. But am I just delaying the inevitable?

Anyway, I am feeling very worried. May not last on this thread much longer.

Any advice anyone?

WTH- sounds like you need it, nothing wrong with a me post, I really hope this will all work out for you. Iknow its hard but try to think positively, talk encouragingly to your little one, (you might feel silly, but I truly think this works....)

satya- so glad you are back at home and all is ok. still cant believe that its finally happened!!

babyhopes- where have you been? was getting a bit worried about you, glad youre back now anyway, how is everything??

last night bubs was being very active and I was cuddled up with dp with my belly on his back (spooning??) anyway, dp let one rip then all of a sudden bubs starts kicking him in the bum!!! it was so funny! dp thought I was doing it and even now thinks that it wasnt the baby but me making my belly do it
Hope everyone is well and to all who need them.

WTH - as well as talking to bubs..... do heaps of belly rubs and imagining beautiful positive light going into ur tummy with every deep breath. I'm so praying for you hun - just take a day at a time, it's all you can do without making urself go too crazy!!

[Where there's hope]

Thanx Starrysky and PLC. Had a looooooooong stressy night, which will not have helped things.

Anyone here on pessaries? If so, what is your dosage?

[belfie]

Sorry WTH, I haven't tried the pessaries, but I just wanted to say and I'm crossing my fingers that everything goes ok for you. I also don't know any endo's near Sydney, but you could also try posting in the Pregnancy General Discussion area too. Thinking of you and sending big

Hi to everyone else, I hope you're all going well.
I've reached third trimester today which seems just amazing, and I think I felt my first baby hiccups this morning I think my heart just melted .

[SamiH]

Belfie - I'm just behind you honey - 3rd trimester just a couple of days away for me yaaaaaaaaay.
MelA - how did it all go today?
WTH - I have no idea, but I hope you can get some advice or info soon that answers your queries ...

I met with my doula again last night - and saw my friend and her bub so am feeling even more impatient if that is possible - bring on October!!!

[Mel A]

Feeling really bloated and lathargic today, but happy to report I've had no spotting, no cramping and no M/S. My emotions really leveled out today, the tight shoulders, that nigelding worry, everything is gone. Now we have the 10 week BT tomorrow then the NT scan on the 19th. now we wait till the end of the first Trimester, and hopfully more energy and no M/S. My plan is that it doesn't come back now that I'm past D day.


Snoochie boochies...

Hi girls
Mel A - It sounds like thing are going well now for you. I just hope the m/s stays away (it has finaly gone from me). Hope your BT results are good. I bet you can't wait till the 19th July to get to see your little Bub.

Sami H - I am start to feel safe now and enjoying the pregnancy (even with the pain) I was even thinking about going out and buying some things today.

Belfie - When bub hickups it feels really strange. I hope you are well.


WTH - I left a message for you on your thread. Sending you lots of : stickyvibesgirl: your way.

Starrysky - I think your little one is going to have a wonderful personality. Already has one up on Dad. I would like to know how you can get your belly to move like that??? Serve him right for letting off.

Hi to everyone else and I hope all is well.

AFM - I went to see the Consultant at my ANC today, he answered all my questions and has put my mind at ease. I feel like I can finaly enjoy the pregnancy (even with the pain) and I am starting to get the baby room put together and might even go and buy some baby things very soon.

Take care
Chris

hello everyone,
well, I finally did it! I went and bought some baby stuff. mainly cot sheets and quilt, pillow cases, towels,flannels,nappy stacker etc.....
but also some clothing, I found the most gorgeous t shirt in cotton on kids- it says "I see old people" heheheh!!! well, I thought it was funny.....
my mother has been frieking out about how little I have for the baby, she also keeps asking me why Im not excited......and to tell the truth, I am still scared to be too excited, I will only be truly happy when I have this baby in my arms and crying lustily
(I sure hope I will regret saying that!) I sill feel like im almost tempting fate to get stuff too early, but then I suppose its not that early anymore.....

on another topic, a girl I work with just lost her baby, we were having lots of fun chatting about all things baby related, I feel so bad for her, and I bet now I will be the last person she wants to see....what with my belly just there and all....but then again, she knows I have been thru the same thing, so I hope I can be a friend for her, but I would completely understand if she couldnt even look at me, I used to give pregnant women dirty looks all the time last year!!

looks like you guys have all been quiet for a few days, I hope this is because everything is good....

have a great weekend everyone, hope to see you around more soon.

just a very quick selfish post here...i'm going to try booking in for my first scan tomorrow instead of waiting till wed...i'll be back to catch up reading and say hello. i'm a bit nervous as you can understand...

[~ dragonfly ~]

not good news for me, i'm afraid... u/s this morning found only a five-week sac, no fetal pole or heartbeat. trying to get to the doctor tomorrow for more bloods, but it's not looking good.sorry to make this all about me, lovely ladies, but i'm gutted... i had calculated seven weeks, but the u/s found only a five-week-two-day sac, no fetal pole or heartbeat. trying to get to the doctor tomorrow for more bloods, but it's not looking good. i still feel pregnant, so i'm trying to hold onto hope, but i've felt all weekend something was wrong. hopefully more news tomorrow. i'm totally unimpressed by the new ultrasound place, first they told me my results were ready, then, no, wait 40mins, they rang in 30 and told me to come back, and then didn't put my results in with the pics! when i went back in, they were unsympathetic and i was devastated. i had to wait again and was told to go away because they'd rather send the results straight to my doctor! i said no, i want them now, it's my results, and she was very rude about that. the radiologist was no better, she told me my age was too much of a problem and bluntly told me i was carrying a non-viable pregnancy.

more i forgot to add before...i'm a bit of a mess as you can well imagine..the u/s also showed two uterine fibroids, one 20mm, one 14mm, and a 44mm cyst on my left ovary. why none of this was picked up during my last pg/miscarriage round of tests, i have no idea. i have an appointment with the doctor at pregnancy care tomorrow and we'll see what she says then.
