aww thanks babyboom 1979, x

Feeling like one is on a conveyer belt is certainly no fun. Hope you are cosy at home with your feet up....

Great that you have tests booked. I found it so hard to take the first step (scared of what might come up) but so happy I did. Now i feel like I will have a little more faith for next time......even though I know I will be completely anxiety-ridden.

Sending you loads of hugs....

Had my erpc, it was ok, but felt like I was on a conveyor belt, as soon as it was over, they wanted to discharge me asap. Yes I would like to be in the comfort of my own home, but not when they are basically pushing me out the door!!

Got some tests booked now too!! It sounds so silly, but Im actually looking forward to them, not because I want them, but maybe because there may be a simple curable problem, and I will beable to go forward, and put all of this behind me.

Thanks so much Rachxx....that really means a lot.....you very much deserve a BFP as well -- and soon! So sorry about your ERPC tommorrow. You'll be in my thoughts. Please hang in there and let us know how you are getting on.

Rainbow.....gosh three months -- I hope with the summer it goes by more quickly. I went private and was on the phone with my doctor within a week discussing my blood results. Luckily, my foreign insurance partially covered the investigations so I now realise I was very, very lucky. I really hope you are fourth time lucky and I'm sending you loads of sticky vibes.

Oh and Rachxx....the Portland is in Central London......sort of near regents park if i remember correctly.

Also where is the portland hospital?!

The nhs annoy me barley- some of the docs/nurses seem to know less than me on the subject! Think i have become obsessesed on the subject tho, im constantly searching for info online!

Rainbow-is that 3 month wait on the nhs? I would be the same as you, i wouldnt want to wait until oct for results before ttc again. Fingers crossed that you won't miscarry again

i have started phoning a few private clinics today to arrange tests, but waiting for them all to phone me bak.

Let me know when any of you have any updates

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through all of this at the moment. I hope that the ERPC passes quickly. I've had 2 mmc's since October and 3 ERPC's following a successful pregnancy in 2007. I'm now trying to conceive again. Like other posters I knew that there was a reason for my mc's despite doctors (and 1 NHS specialist) telling me that they were just bad luck and I was fine. I have a family history of secondary infertility and after paying to see a private consultant at the Portland hospital it was confirmed that DH and I have developed an incompatibilty problem and I am in effect rejecting pregnancies as an immune response. Although this was a hard thing to find out at least I knew what was happening and we have gone for treatment that may or may not work and that was worth the expense rather than more false hope from the NHS. I really hope that things become positive for you soon

I have been with my dh to get the blood tests today, but just realised that the wait for the results is three months. So we will not be waiting for the results before ttc again, but risk yet another m/c. That is we will be ttc again, if my body ever gets back into gear, I was hopeful that my body might be getting back to normal when I started spotting at the weekend, but still just spotting, no af here yet.

I have stupied ERPC tomorrow then not sure, I really want to start ttc again!! But wanted to get tested 1st...

I hope you have some good news soon, you really deserve to.

I would imagine he would see you once to do an evaluation and send you for tests, and a second time to discuss results after they come in.

He is my regular gyne so I see him whenever I need to but I really don't think you will need more than two meetings with him. Also, do not hesitate to tell him your worries (he is a good listener) and that you would really like to get tested. He will sit and explain everything about the procedure and you can decide from there what you would like to do.

And don't worry about questions! I'm sure I will have some of my own very soon.

My husband and I will be trying this month....Currently waiting for period and then fingers crossed! What about you?
