RainbowRach - Friday, 28 November Hi Helen, thanks for your comment. I called the hospital to tell them I would be starting AF on 7th so can I move the scan as its an internal and the lady said its not an internal? So I have left it for now. I have had both internal and belly scans to look at the cyst before. I have had it since at least Sept 07 and its normally around 4.1cms so they can normally see it ok. Not sure?
RainbowRach - Friday, 28 November ooo, I dont think so. I will check x
shellyl - Friday, 28 November no you never do know!! Good luck for Monday, I will be thinking about you. I am fine, loving being pregnant and never thought I would be here. Scared all the time but starting to relax. Thanks for asking xx
shellyl - Friday, 28 November Hiya not sure if this will help or not but I was watching Lorraine today before my Grans funeral on Wednesday and a lady was on who had 18 m/c. She had been to see specialists and had loads of test and was told sorry it is just bad luck. She went to her usual GP for something totaly unrelated as she had been off colour. He requested some blood tests to be done and it turned out she had a serious deficiency of folic acid and vitamin B12. She took folic acid whilst ttc and whilst pregnant but she needed a much higher dose than you usually take when ttc. Her GP put her on Vitamin B12 and a high dosage of folic acid and she went on to get pregnant and stay pregnant. She now has a healthy baby girl. I was so upset watching this, emotions were high anyway but I just thought I would share it. You may have been tested for this so my apologies if you have and I have been rambling!! I just thought it was qorth sharing for anyone you know as well as your self who may wish to get tested for it.
Hope you are doing well, Christmas is a difficult time. I hope your staying positive, the new year is just around the corner and I am sure it will be better for you. xxxxx

BethSilva - Wednesday, 26 November Hi Helen thanks for the comment on my hair... So how are you doing? Looking forward to the holidays?
WendySue - Wednesday, 26 November See if you can get the doctor to prescribe it for you ahead of time so as soon as you find out you're pregnant you can get it flled without having to wait for the doctor's office. This is important especially if you get a BFP on the weekend. The first time I got my doctor to agree to prescribe it, he wanted me to call and come in first. By the time I got to the appointment because of the holidays, I had already miscarried (Christmas Eve last year). After that I got him to give me the prescription ahead of time.
WendySue - Wednesday, 26 November You weren't on my friend's network, but I have followed your story when I was in the TTC forum and had known you were pregnant again, and thought I'd check on you. I am soo sorry to hear you had another miscarriage. I know your pain. I have had 5 miscarriages in the last year and a half. 4 of them around 5 weeks and one at 8 weeks. I also dealt with 5 years of infertility with my previous husband and never getting pregnant after going though IUI's and a year of testing. The ex and I had also tried to adopt for a year and the day my marriage ended was the day I got a phone call from the adoption agency that they had a baby for us. Obviously when your marriage is ending, you don't adopt a baby, so I had to turn it down. I know the pain of wanting a baby and having so much heartbreak over it. After all that, I want you to know there is hope. I am now 14 weeks and am doing fantastic. I don't know if you have the same issues as me but it sounds like you mjight. This time that I got pregnant I took Vitex, Kelp and L-Arginine from the time I ovulated until I found out I was pregnant. I continued with the L-arginine for about a month. My doctor also had me on progesterone suppositories from the day I found out I was pregnant. The Vitex, Kelp and L-arginine are all supposed to help thicken the uterine lining so the baby can really implant. I don't know if that's really what made the difference this time, but it's what I did differently from all other 5 times. Sorry this is long, but I wanted you to know I've been there, I support you and wish you the best!! And wanted to give you HOPE! (Sorry it's such a long comment)
prettypreggo - Wednesday, 26 November Hey, just read your blog. Cycles can be so weird after a MC. I had been 31 days since my last one, but this time, I think I am on a 28 day cycle, which would be back to normal--8 months later! I check your old blogs everyday to see if I have any symptoms you logged on your July blogs. I know we say we won't chart and check and all kinds of things but it seems to be impossible not to! I'm glad to hear you're in yoga, and bike riding--you seem to have a fabulous and healthy life. I need to be more active so that I can be a healthy mother. I should follow your lead!
The Orlandos - Wednesday, 26 November Thank you so much for the kind comment on my picture blog! You will get your bump soon girl,,,I just know it! xxxx
kelim - Wednesday, 26 November well i hope they do something for you! you did a good job with tht letter, have you heard any thing yet?
kelim - Wednesday, 26 November yes defo, i didnt even know that your body had to make it i thought you just had to take the tablets!! but ask bout the b12 too, its worth a try, cos whats happening to you is pretty much the same as her, and you dont want to have 18 like her hun, i think you have had enough shit for the past 18 months!XXXX
kelim - Wednesday, 26 November the nurse who was with the woman said that you have to take it and your body also has to produce it too, but wot about the vitamin b12?xxx
kelim - Wednesday, 26 November hi hun, did you watch lorraine kelly this morning? there was a lady on who has had 18 miscarriges, and all her test came back normal, but wen she went back to her doctor he did some blood test, and they found out tht her body never had any folic acid or vitamin b12, so that is worth a try if you aint already thought of it? and she lost all her babies around the same time as you, hope this is a useful bit of info for you?
love kelly!xxx
Jelly27 - Tuesday, 25 November thanks for your comment, I just decided that it's really no point in being upset anymore. Freaking AF! Anyway, how are you doing?
RainbowRach - Tuesday, 25 November awwww that would be so cool. Little (not so little anymore) loves everyone and all dogs he meets
RainbowRach - Tuesday, 25 November I am changing jobs at the moment, as I will be moving from managing people, I lose my car allowance (which I have taken the cash option for each month). So in order to get rid of my credit card which is paid for by my cash allowance, I wanted to see my car to pay it off. But its not a good time to try and sell a car that most people would need a loan for
