Hi San, so it really is true. Luckily the bleeding is easing up now, and I hope you'll ovulate again soon! It's good news that everything is clear, so you can wrap things up. As long as that's easier physically than mentally, of course...
This baby will always have a place in your heart, but I hope you'll soon have a full-term baby!
I'm glad I was referred, I'm now completely convinced that it won't happen naturally for me. Still nothing to report, actually.
I'll hear tomorrow afternoon what the plan is. Probably pills, which I'll only start taking on Saturday, so I'll have time to prepare at least, if that's allowed.
I've been coping quite well these past few days. It'll probably dip again tomorrow...

Hey dear, I'm also really curious about tomorrow. Everything's been going well so far. I need to be there at 1:15 PM. I'll let you know as soon as possible.

Well, I went, but I haven’t got the answer I was hoping for yet. According to the calculation, I’m now 6 weeks and 1 day. The heartbeat was there, but too slow, so I have to go back next week.

@essiego oooh how exciting, hopefully next time there will be a strong heartbeat.

Essiegio started this 3 months ago #65

I hope so too, but I found this really scary

Hartje 3 months ago #66

Oh, that's good, but it's still better than nothing. At that stage, is it still okay? I really hope you have a nice ultrasound next time!

Essiegio oh wow, girl, that's so exciting. And still so uncertain, with a heart beating slowly. It's definitely scary, girl, but try to let go and enjoy the moment, even if you keep the other scenario in the back of your mind. I'm cheering really hard for you

It's terrible to have to wait like this, so uncertain

Hartje 3 months ago #69

I totally get it, Essie. You really have to get through this. But right now, there's a little baby with a beating heart growing inside you. Cherish that and try to push the other thoughts away—there's unfortunately nothing you can do about that. There are lots of positive stories out there, you know!

Thank you so much, sweetheart. I'm doing my best.

Essiegio started this 3 months ago #71

Hey girls, how are you? I'm really nervous about tomorrow

Essiegio started this 3 months ago #72

Unfortunately, we're also waiting for a miscarriage here; the heartbeat has stopped.

Hartje 3 months ago #73

Oh, that's so disappointing! That must be so hard and sad for you.. Strength also with getting the miscarriage. I just got it this morning, it was okay to deal with. But you had to wait a while, you know..

Essiegio started this 3 months ago #74

Yes, she asked what I wanted, and I chose to have it removed. The gynecologist is calling right away.

San1989 3 months ago #75

Essiegio oh wow girl

it's so bittersweet. Because it didn't go as planned, but still you had hope.

I would have made that choice too if it hadn't happened so spontaneously for me. Strength and take your time to process it in your own way.

Essiegio started this 3 months ago #76

I don't really know how I'm supposed to feel. This pregnancy was so spontaneous and unplanned. I actually didn't want any more kids, but I found it special because I had miscarried my youngest son 5 years ago, since I couldn't get pregnant spontaneously. I had already assumed something was wrong, so I don't really know how I'm supposed to feel now. I'm just really sad that the baby did have a heartbeat for a while, so it was actually alive.

Hartje 3 months ago #77

What mixed feelings you can have, huh! I was really overwhelmed during this pregnancy too, since it would be our fourth child and the oldest just turned two. But still, there's love in your heart for your little one! I never had a child before, but I did grieve for the baby I thought I'd be having.

These are strange feelings that come with it, huh! Give yourself space for them; processing takes some time. Especially since you're going through a physical process too.

Do you already know when you'll get help?

Essiegio started this 3 months ago #78

Yeah, my body, like my breasts still hurt and stuff. My youngest would be 2 years old if this baby had come. My husband has 2 kids from his previous marriage, so we have 4 in total. My oldest is 11, so there's quite an age gap between my youngest and him. I'm happy that I've been able to have 2 healthy boys.
