12 week scan ... so surprised to see a heartbeat/ good result. Hope for all. x

[Music1]

I'm writing this to give others hope. After a mc and many failed ivfs, a heavy bleed around Christmas I was expecting the worst.

Although 7 week scan showed heartbeat and a space where we had lost the other embryo from bleeding, I wasn't expecting this.

I can honestly say... NO symptoms, if anything weight loss, flat tummy, no signs of pregnancy since another bleed and pain in New Year. Yet it was there on the screen with a heartbeat. Not a very clear scan but blew me away.

Without sounding strange, I've been googling the worst, reading Tommy's website for 'missed miscarriage' and just been tearful on and off for the last 2-3 weeks. I haven't had any luck seeing a midwife yet so I think that has caused some upset and anxiety as well.

Just letting you know... even when you think the worst, with no symptoms it can still be possible x

Wow so happy to see this post. Massive congratulations to you both xx

[Music1 in reply to Hidden]

How are you doing now? You must have a 2 year old? It's been quite a while x

[Hidden in reply to Music1]

We are good thanks. Our little girl is one tomorrow & full of mischief ha ha xx

[Music1 in reply to Hidden]

Aww. Wow, 1 tomorrow. What a journey we've been through. I know I'm not out of the woods yet, and I'm still on all ivf meds (patches, clexane injections, lubion and cyclogest etc). Wondering how my body will cope when I stop all those next week. Lovely to hear from you. Birthday wishes for little one tomorrow x

[Hidden in reply to Music1]

I was very frightened stopping medication but your own hormones etc have well kicked in by 12 weeks & will take over (doesn’t make it any less scary though)

When you have been on the journey we have it’s hard to enjoy pregnancy but with every milestone you pass it does get slightly easier.

Just message me anytime you want a chat etc xx

[Music1 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for reassurance. Can't explain how worried I was regarding the scan today... thinking the worst. We had 2 FET put back but the bleed was losing the other one. I just thought the second/ third bleed was game over.

Thanks for telling me about meds. I have been worried about stopping them suddenly. Especially with Hashi and Hypothyroid/ autoimmune probs. It's just one step/ milestone at a time. I thought pregnancy would be a wonderful feeling but it's been one scare after another with worry at every corner. Maybe I got too complacent with no bleed leading upto 7 weeks and then suddenly before Christmas I was in A&E overnight thinking it was happening all again. Thanks Button. Lovely to hear from you x

[Hidden in reply to Music1]

Sounds exactly the same as what happened with us (look back at my old posts) sadly I don’t think you can fully relax but I was determined ivf wasn’t going to spoil my pregnancy I took it one day at a time but every milestone, scan & kick made things slightly easier and was wonderful to experience and see. Can highly, highly recommend NCT antenatal classes, I learnt loads and met a lovely bunch of mummy friends that I still see all the time. I have just had a year off work & I am due back next week (part time) it’s crazy how fast it’s gone xx

[Music1 in reply to Hidden]

Yes I remember. One day at a time is good advice, each milestone etc. Hasn't stopped me worrying though when it's our last hope. I've never heard of NCT antenatal classes, thanks for that.

Sounds stupid, but would you recommend ironing? Last time I did some I had a bright red bleed. Basically ironing is building up on ironing board lol, as oh doesn't have a clue. Did you go back to work whilst/ when pregnant or take the time off? I would say time has gone incred slow, with so many hold ups, but am thankful for where I am now. Thanks for advice/ reassurance xx

[Hidden in reply to Music1]

I had 3 weeks off at the beginning when I was bleeding but then I was fine, I just made sure I took it easy when I could and listened to my body.

To be fair with ironing I don’t really do much my hubby does it, but do what your comfortable with and rest when needed.

Have a look at NCT (national childbirth trust) their website has loads of info about pregnancy and birth etc but the classes are really informative xx

[Music1 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, just had a quick browse and it looks a great website. Thanks for that x

[Hidden]

Aw what lovely post! Huge congrats to you all xx

[Music1 in reply to baby2016]

Thank you. It really doesn't seem real at the moment after all we've been through x

[Rowly88]

Thats wonderful news, congratulations xx 💛💚💙💜🧡

Best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy xx

[Music1 in reply to Rowly88]

Thank you. News hasn't sunk in yet. Wish I could do all these lovely emojis Wishing you all the best x

[Suzannah1985]

All sounds fab 👌.

Particularly lovely to see as you have hashi’s and auto immune issues, gives me so much hope xx

[Music1 in reply to Suzannah1985]

After hearing I had those to contend with those as well it didn't give me much hope. Make sure you're on steroid (Predisolone 20mg) tablets leading up to any transfer and through 2 week wait if you're doing IVF? If you can. I honestly believe they've made a huge diff, that and going complete GF. Glad I can give you some hope. Been trying for 7 years so it seems so unreal to get this far x

[Suzannah1985 in reply to Music1]

Thank you for the advice, I have taken prednisolone for my last couple of rounds, but will be having intralipid infusions next time too.

I think I am going to have to try GF, anything that helps is worth it.

7 years is a real battle, I am so pleased for you xx

[Music1 in reply to Suzannah1985]

Wishing you all the best success in the world x
