Early MC

Hi All, It's been so helpful reading all your posts, I'm so sorry for those who have lost little ones, but reassured by those who have gone on to have beautiful babies! I'm 5 weeks 4 days and have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions as my hcg levels haven't been doing what they ought to. I have all the symptoms, morning sickness, rapidly growing and tender breasts - when they tell me it doesn't look good it seems like a cruel joke. If this one doesn't go ahead it will be my 3rd MC in 13 months, but I am not giving up just yet! I have let both come out naturally and had no problems. I gave myself 6 months after the first one but only because I needed to get my head space together before trying again. I don't mean to put anyone off by sharing my story, I have PCOS and I'm sure that's something to do with my inability to carry... so far. Hopefully it's something that can be leveled out with hormones or something?? I'm with a specialist this time around so if this one doesn't work out the next one is bound to. Look after yourselves and stay positive.

Hi Appy2,
Thank you... yes I did get those things ruled out, while waiting for those results I was wishing they would come back positive, crazy huh, but it would have been nice to have an easy solution. My specialist recommended Clomid to give me the extra boost needed to ov, worked a treat for me but took a few goes to get the dose right. That's what got me up the duff this time. Two friends of mine have pcos and both have beautiful healthy babies, we can do it!! Good luck on Tuesday, I'm sure they'll have positive sticky bubba solutions for you guys... keep us posted

Thanks Emmi_. Did you get pregnant again soon after your mc? Waiting to TTC is soooo hard but don't want to try again too soon and end up having another mc and having the doctor say i told you so....

Hi,
I'm new to all this kind of thing. I had my first mc on Sunday and was lost. I have irregular periods, endo and PCOS and have been on clomid. One round of clomid and I conceived, but had a mc at 6 weeks. It all started on the last Wednesday and I had a scan and there was a heartbeat. Bleeding had started on Friday and I had another scan and there was a heartbeat.   It has been so hard but I'm getting there slowly.
I am trying to be positive and look forward to the day I get a BFP.
This support network is great because when it happens you can feel a little bit lost. It's nice to have the positive forum to go to in times of need.

Thanks so much for the kind words littlestar! I'm feeling good today. I know I'll get there one day soon. It was our first shot on Clomid and we concieved, so thats something positive. Taking time out after it happens is really important and talking about it! I am under a really good specialist, and I have had a complete m/c. There was no lingering and everything seems to be back to normal. I know that it will prob take 6 weeks or so for my HCG to come down, but we haven't had any more bloods done for that either. Not really too worried about that though because if I feel I need another blood test in 6 weeks I can just ring the doctor. It sure is a rollercoaster, but the the ultimate prize is that lovely bundle at the end! Positive thoughts to all of you and hope you all have a lovely day!

EARLY MISCARRIAGES:

Hi - reading these just makes me want to cry - but also to encourage you all not to give up! I have two children from a previous marriage - and my new hubby desperately wants to be a dad - but I am 40 - and just didn't know how things would go. We have 3 angel-babies (lost 3 in a row) - lost the biggest at 9 weeks on Christmas Day which was just devastating.

I am now just over 15 weeks along - so keep perservering - keep positive - feep focusing on your goal and RELAX! Be kind to yourself - the worst thing I did was to beat myself up because I couldn't seem to keep a baby! (It felt that way at the time).

Big hugs to ALL of you who have gone through or are going through this......there are many of us here who understand and want to be there for you!
