    Thank you all for your kind words (and thanks to anyone who posted on the less than 12 week thread but I just can't bring myself to look at that just now) I just feel so torn apart that our baby died and I didn't know - I should have known.

    I haven't miscarried naturally so we need to think about the next steps to take but its hard to process. Thankyou again for the support x

    Lemon I am so very very sorry Hugs Hugs Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    It won't destroy you Lemon. It just feels like it will at the moment :o

    Am still thinking of you lots and sending virtual hugs your way.

    Are you staying off work for a while?

    How is your OH/DH doing?

    I found giving myself little things to take my mind off things helped in the first few days. I did a couple of jigsaws and made a new flavour of buns. Helped make me me zone out and not think so much about the bad things for a while. :o

    MV - how you doing now? The first day back is always hard :o I keep seeing bumps n babies everywhere too :( I wrote on my status this morning that I felt ill n tired which I did, and someone wrote back that at least I had my new car for when I was feeling sicky ;) and tired. I think I over reacted to her comment cos it looked to me like she was hinting I was pregnant and I thought everyone else would think she knew something they didn't. Think I am maybe getting a wee bit paranoid at times now :o

    Babyizzard - So sorry for your losses :( There is also a multiple miscarriage thread which may help you? Skintchick has had 5 miscarriages and she started the thread. She has just been diagnosed with Factor V thingie too. Obviously you can chat to us too, but I'm afraid I won't be any help with a lot of what you will be going through :o

    Tinks - How you doing huni? Thinking of you xx

    Hello there - I feel a bit of a fraud posting here, after reading the last couple of pages I'm so sorry that many of you have had this happen more than once.

    I'm sat here having a bit of a cry. I am/was between 4-5 weeks pregnant - it was a surprise as we weren't planning it, but a welcome one as we were planning on trying during the next year (we have a 2 year old LO). Anyway, I had a bit of bleeding last night and went to bed hoping it was just a one-off, however this morning there was lots of bright red blood and clots (sorry if TMI) that has kept coming, so I'm pretty sure this is the end. I have an appointment with the EPU in a couple of hours to confirm it.

    I just feel very sad. I've not told anyone else (apart from my OH and our GP) so feel like I've no-one to talk to about this
  • Welcome Betty, sorry you have to post on here. Don't feel a fraud. No mc is easy no matter how early it was. I've just had 2 early one's in a row, and although my GP didn't seem to think it was much of a big deal, to me it's just horrendous.

    I hope all goes ok at EPU, at least you are getting in there for an early scan and will get some answers asap. Hugs to you, it just sucks.

    abis - I'm ok I guess. Still feeling pretty depressed about the whole thing, and can't get excited about anything much right now. How are you doing?

    One thing I did do yesterday which helped me a bit was have a read right back at the beginning of this thread when Ali first started it. I was going through my first mc before my DS, and I was in a similar frame of mind to how I am now, thinking I was never going to get through it/never have a baby etc.

    Seeing how things panned out helps a bit, and gives me a bit of hope that all will be ok again one day. How long that will take I do not know though.

    Sorry to see you over here sweaty betty :( Hope your appointment at EPU goes ok.

    MV - I had a look back a while ago at when I first posted and how far I have come since then. It was wierd looking back on my old self and remembering how awful the pain was back then. It does really take time to heal I suppose. I remember the days going so slowly at first, it was such hard work.

    I'm a lot brighter and more relaxed at the mo. I think I'm about 7dpo, and this month I am actually doing sooooo much better and its probably the least I have thought about being/getting pregnant in the last 2-3 years. I seem to have taken a chill pill, but not quite sure how or why that happened?! Its a good thing tho so I aren't complaining :D Its my birthday in 10 days, so if I am out again this month at least I can get vair drunk :p

  • Glad to hear you are feeling more relaxed abis. You may find that does the trick and you get your BFP this month :)

    We are going for the more 'relaxed' approach this month too (well, as relaxed as I can be right now)

    OH has convinced me to leave the ov sticks/CBFM alone and even though I am a total control freak and need to feel like I am doing something positive, I do understand what he is saying and actually not having the 'oh my god we have to BD NOW!!' panic which was so ruddy awful last month!

    Also having has 2 chemical's in a row, and my cycle being 30 days last month rather than the usual 28, I really have no idea when (or even if) I'll ov. Fertility Friend has predicted me in for 3 possible ov dates..it's a s confused as I am!

    So just going to try and bonk a few times the right week, and then try again properly from next month.

    Maybe my womb would benefit from a whole cycle of not ttc.

    I hate waiting though :(
