Hi Dani, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I believe the general rule is that if you start to miscarry naturally - then the hospital is more inclined to let it continue naturally unless there are any signs of complications (probably because it cost's them nothing to let you go...

I don't wish to alarm you - but what could possibly be happening is an early miscarriage. Miscarriages normally last approx. 2 weeks & you do experience a LOT of blood, clots & tissue loss, and normally very severe cramping in your lower pelivic area. It may be worth going to a Dr's just...

Hi Ricki, Congratulations on the pregnancy & sorry to hear about your previous losses. I miscarried 2 months ago (1st pregnancy, lost at 8weeks), so it's encouraging to hear from people who are successfully preggers again. Wishing you the best for a healthy, stress-free pregnancy and...

Sorry to hear it's not your month! I think they'll be a whole load of us with fingers crossed for a BFP in May. Take care, we're all thinking of you. Hagan Daaz works for me ........ usually the strawberry cheescake flavour :shock:

Hi Dani, Thanks for your response. I went to Dr's today & had another pregnancy test done (to check if there was any possibility of tissue still left in my womb), but that came back negative. I'm now on a weeks course of pills to control the bleeding & have to go back to Dr's in 3...

I'm getting totally demoralised. I'm now at 9 weeks since start of miscarriage and don't know what's wrong with my body. Since my AF started (assuming that's what it is) I've been bleeding heavily for 10 days - normally it's only 4-5 days long. My best friend - who misscarried approx 3...

Hi Moonpiesb, To be honest I think cottage cheese should be totally avoided, just on the basis that it looks & smells like vomit! :lol: :lol: ....... but that's just my personal opinion!! I can't stand the stuff :roll: But seriously - cottage chesse is FINE because it's pasturised -...

Unfortunately Feta is off the menu too - but as I said this is more for when preggers rather than trying. The reason being certain foods (soft cheeses and deli meats in particular) can become contaminated with a bacteria called Listeria - which if you become sick with, can also be transmitted...

The 'dodgy' foods I know you are supposed to avoid in the 1st 3 months of pregnancy - although not sure if it means you need to avoid whilst trying :?: are things like: Soft eggs (i.e. yolk to be cooked fully however you have them) Soft cheeses (Brie, Camembert etc.) Peanuts

Yeah - I guess if your cycle is 14-16 days than the best bet to cover all bases would be to try every few days from day 12. ie. Day's 12, 14, 16 and 18 That should keep you & the hubby occupied for a week eh? :lol:

Erm..... not too sure how far the little blighters have to swim, but I read somewhere that the window of time to concieve is a few days before & a few days after ovulation (I think the mechanics being that sperm can survive for a few days 'in situ', plus it takes the egg a few days to travel...

Hi Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear of the hard time you are having. Please don't feel you are alone - I'm sure you've already read a lot of the posts on here and have seen that there are a number of ladies in the same predicament. I'm unable to give advice on the length of times it's taken you...

I would like some info please as I'm starting to get a bit pee'd off with my body!!! :( I started miscarrying on 27th Feb @ 8weeks. I miscarried naturally and bled for a further 2 weeks, then the discharge started looking a bit pus like so I went to the Dr's and was given a weeks course of...

Rachel, Just wanted to add my congratulations to you & your partner. Well Done!!!! You must be ecstatic :D

Hi Shamarra, So sorry to hear that you miscarried. I miscarried 6weeks ago so totally understand the emotional trauma and physical pain you've been through. Unfortunately miscarriage is a VERY common occurence - especially with your 1st pregnancy ........ though I know from experience...
