Wot ho ladies,

Err the title says it all.  I've been feeling I was pregnant for a while but decided not to test at all - assuming like most of the recent pg's that it would disappear in a  few days.  I suddenly remembered that I'm sposed to be going for a bone scan on friday so its forced my hand a bit.   Couldn't sleep so I just tested and blam straight back with Pregnant 3+ weeks on a CBD.

DH is asleep, don't think he'd appreciate me waking him right now.  Assuming I have my dates right, I'm 5 weeks 2 days...  So this one is already further than the previous 5, but I've never made it past 8.5 weeks (mmc discovered at 10.5weeks with foetus size dated to 8.5 weeks)

Alas, I'm not excessively positive in my frame of mind.  Although I feel more pg than I've ever felt before, I have a low down ache that I've come to associate with mc and some feint dark brown staining..... While I'm not feeling very positive, I'm also more irritated than stressed or upset.

Current plan is to 'ignore' this pregnancy untill it either fails or I get to the 8.5 week stage and then I'll get a scan.  Does that sound cold?  I figure I get so stressed out counting hours and days... and that clearly that hasn't worked so far... Maybe ignoring things till they are fully in place would work better?  Last time I nearly ruptured a vein in my head getting incandessantly angry with a doctor that wouldn't even scan me to put my mind at rest.  As useless as he was, it didn't make me feel any better getting that angry and that level of stress couldn't have helped now could it?

Sorry if this sounds a tad fatalistic, I don't mean to get anyone down...

Love and hugses and best of luck to you all m'dears

10 miscarriages and counting.....

hunni everything you have said has made perfect sense!!! after 10 m/c you have to find a way to protect yourself slightly from the risk of loss and thats very normal!!!

its a nightmare that the aches and pains of early pg feel so much like m/c, im sat here typing this reply with cramps too frightened to go and "look"

your not cold hunni!

welcome back to pal..... you take the early weeks as you need to hun, shout if you need us though ok!!

love

Hi hun,

Congrats on the bfp - Not really sure what else to say - having been in your position so many times before its really hard to be optimistic. I was EXACTLY the same as you when i got my bfp this time. But i did go for the early scans because i needed to know when things went wrong so that i could get the op and be done with it - thats how i dealt with it.

I also had spotting/bleeding  for 2 weeks with this one and having experienced this before as a sign of m/c assumed that it was over but i kept getting further and further and here i am almost 29 weeks pg after 12 m/c.

I hope and pray that this one is the one for you - and completey understand your way of dealing with it  do whatever feels right for you.

Im keeping my fingers crossed because miracles DO happen - i never thought i would be here. x

Hi Rachel - congrats on your BFP, I can completely understand you not wanting to get too attached to the pregnancy yet, given what has happened to you. You are trying to protect yourself from being hurt again which is natural.

I really hope things work out for you this time, as the other girls have said, miracles do happen, so fingers crossed, did you take any aspirin or anything in your previous pregnancies? Have they ever discovered a reason for your recurrent miscarriages?
