Hi everyone. I used to be a regular on the old board, mostly in my BMB but lurking and occasionally posting elsewhere.
In May last year, at ten and a half weeks, the pink spotting I'd been having for a week turned red. A scan confirmed the miscarriage. I decided not to take any medication or schedule a D&C but to let things happen naturally. Four days later I heamorrhaged and almost died, and had emergency surgery in the middle of the night.
I had two subsequent chemical pregnancies, in September and February.
After the February loss we decided to stop trying. We moved out of our old house at the beginning of May and after a month between houses, in the first half of June we moved into the new house and celebrated my fortieth and our daughter's second birthday. So we decided to stop trying until July or August.
In the middle of May we went to Italy for a fortnight. It was six weeks since my LMP so my husband suggested I do a test to rule out pregnancy. We were so stressed with the move that we still can't work out when it must have happened.
We were stunned by the BFP. And then had to put everything on hold for our holiday. When we got back I contacted my GP and he arranged for my first scan, which was Tuesday last week (my birthday).
I thought I was about ten weeks but because of my womb tilt and fibroids it was very hard to see anything. It was the same room, and the same midwife, as when we had the miscarriage confirmed, which wasn't much fun. The midwife arranged a detailed scan with the consultant gor Wednesday this week.
Well, there was a lot of growth, but the complications are still there and consequentlythe consultant couldn't see any heartbeats. We did find out that it's twins, but still no due date, and the doctor said that he won't be surprised if I begin to miscarry between now and my next appointment on Wednesday. But I am doing my best to stay positive, because they grew so much in a week. Surely they must have heartbeats? And doctors have to present the worst case scenario. But PGAL is messing with my brain.
Sorry that this is my first post. If I get to stick around I'll do my best to be supportive!
