Recurrent Miscarriage Support Thread - Thread 17 - Tests, treatment and trying again

[Flower29]

Information, support, hand holding, tea, sympathy and a hell of a lot of combined knowledge - all welcome as we try to make sense of the RMC roller coaster of tests, NHS admin, heart ache and (hopefully) happy endings!
Please start with a recap of your stats

1 DS, 3.5 years, totally uncomplicated pregnancy - Ttc no.2 since summer 2012
MC 1 Jan 2013, discovered at 10 weeks, ERPC
MC 2 April 2013, discovered at 8 weeks, natural management
MC 3 August 2013, discovered at 8 weeks, semi-medical management (got the first round of drugs, which kicked everything off, didn't have to do the rest), trisomy 2
MC 4 April 2014, discovered at 17 weeks, medical management, trisomy 18
I have a big fibroid, which the consultant would like to look at on an MRI scan, currently waiting for the referral.

And I am coming to the end of my 2ww, planning to test on Saturday or Sunday. Symptom-spotting like crazy!

Thank you Flower.

Me 36, OH 34.

Mc1 - mm at 12.5 weeks, baby was 6-7 weeks, D&C
Mc2 - natural miscarriage at 11.5 weeks.
Mc3 - mmc at 9.5 weeks, baby was 6.5 weeks, D&C

Been through NHS tests which showed nothing - everything normal. Our last baby was also chromosomally normal.

It's been 3.5 months since the last miscarriage and we are now (deep breath) trying again. No joy this month and am now Cd2....

Ds born Feb 2013
TTC 2 since Oct 13. Mc 1 April 14 @ almost 10 weeks - natural. Mc 2 Nov 14 @ almost 12 weeks - erpc.
Currently fluctuating between complete crazy TTC lady who is convinced she ain't ov'ing and head stuck firmly in the sand where nothing can hurt me. Two extremes.

Thanks for the thread flower.

Hello again. Just turned 40, DS born from blissfully ignorant pregnancy in 2009.
Mc1 7wks
Mc2 Anembryonic passed naturally at home at 13 weeks. Ouch.
Mc3 at about 9 weeks after weak heartbeat early scan the prev week, medically managed this time.
Currently, unbelievably, 15weeks pregnant. We know its a girl thanks to Harmony test at 10wks.
Doom feeling still abounds but spirits lifting hit by bit since a very emotional and positive scan last week.

Thanks Flower

Me 38, DP 45 been ttc'ing since April 14 - no dc's
Mc 1 at 5 weeks in May 14
Mc 2 at 8.5 weeks in August 14 ERPC
Mc 3 at 9 weeks January 15 after seeing heartbeat at 7 weeks. ERPC. Took baby aspirin for that one, didn't work.

Currently having acupuncture and counselling and desperately drinking Raspberry leaf tea and pomegranate juice to increase lining. Not sure it's working after pathetic 2 day AF

Awaiting appt regarding RMC with Mr John Watts at Worcestershire Royal Hospital on 23rd Feb to find out what is going on. Terrified they'll find nothing and I'll be sent on my way....
Have decided if they send us on our way with no help / treatment we are going to attend Coventry as not prepared to attempt number 4 without some help. Am ready to email Kerri @ Coventry at a moments notice.

But we feel seeing the consultant first can't hurt

Tanny big hugs xx

March bloody hell, yay !!!!

[Marchgirl]

Thanks guys. Feeling v scared but mostly just excited at the moment. Going to try and maintain the excited/positive feeling and hope it carries me through

[Justonemoretime]

Yay March!!! :)
Thanks for the thread, Flower.
Just marking my place, will add full stats later. Armpit scan fine, one of my (increasingly massive) boobs is encroaching into my armpit, nothing sinister. Just waiting to see consultant.
