I'm still really dubious about all this
Miscariage tx. Even with no tx we have a 75 percent chance of all being ok. I wonder if its the tx or just luck! No randomised control trials so we will never know!
Nduke or gorgy shehata or quenby. I wish I knew who had the magic formula. On the reccurent miscarriage thread most the women have seen quenby and see to have luck with her . While on the old ttc on pred they all saw shehata and had luck!

Tryingno1 · 28/01/2015 22:26

Scroll down! It's on Adelle yes!

Determined123 · 28/01/2015 22:21

Is that meant to be an article on clothes? Or is something weird going on?

Did you see Adele Silva (emmerdale?) was on the TV today after 3 miscarriages and saw Dr Ndukwe. Has thyroid prob, NK cells and blood clotting I think!!

Tryingno1 · 28/01/2015 22:08

Yep she prob was! Have u read the comments? They all saying she's put On a lot of weight (I have no idea what she looked like before). I want to tell them all its prob the pred!

sunnyday01 · 28/01/2015 22:00

Just seen this - wonder if she was on pred and intralipids?! www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2896450/Top-trends-2015-power-flowers-pretty-pleats-military-khaki-nautical-stripes.html

Enjoy your wknd trying! And good luck with the pred! Xx

Determined123 · 28/01/2015 21:57

Oh don't know about refund but I am sure they would be ok...so do you only have ils at 8 weeks? (Sorry if got that wrong I have a phenomonal headache right now) sunny have you been having anything like headaches? Or anyone else after mc. Mine are killer at the mo.

I need to find an acu who knows about NK cells!! Smile

Am so pleased you are feeling strong Sunny!

Oh and I had Jackie too, she is lovely!

sunnyday01 · 28/01/2015 21:57

I'm not sure - to be honest I'm taking so many different things what's one more!!

dildoos · 28/01/2015 21:51

You will! We all will get there! If we can visualise ourselves with a baby that is the biggest hurdle . What did he do wih the lady on the news that took anti maleria tablets instead? Is that a consideration for you? Sorry I am no oracle but there were two ladies one treated with pred the other wasn't successful and mc again and I am sure she went on anti maleria tablets . X

Tryingno1 · 28/01/2015 21:50

Sunny u will get preg! U have done it before u will do it again. It's like rolling a dice-u just have to roll the right one. But all the stories and studies suggest u get there in end
I still have my worries as to why I'm not preg I really Hope it happens naturally.....

Tryingno1 · 28/01/2015 21:49

3 preg on pred have got rid of my itrational fear it stops u getting preg. So I'm gonna do it this time!
Dildoos hope u sleep well!
Hula have u ovulated yet?
Good luck tmrw determined.
I'm off on a mini uk break for DH bday. Not sure if the snow will allow it though! So might be off radar for a few days but will be thinking if u ESP sunny determined and dildoos.

sunnyday01 · 28/01/2015 21:47

Oh and actually feeling quite strong at the moment - I'm determined that I will get pregnant again soon, and I'm not letting g these nk cells rule my life!

OP posts:
sunnyday01 · 28/01/2015 21:46

I think you only get a refund if you don't actually go and get it if that makes sense? It is like a big milkshake though! I was lucky I have good veins and had it in my arm - bit like a blood test - the lady at Alexandra house - Jackie - was excellent. Still got the bruise though :/

Going to write down questions at weekend but my main 2 are - can I keep doing SO and the other is - why did it happen exactly the same as mc2 even though I was on medians what else can you do!

OP posts:
dildoos · 28/01/2015 21:45

To your question earlier trying
Last mc was July. Had to stop trying until dr s original appointment in October and started trying again after my results 17/11/14 so yes 6 months since last but I wa thinking technically only 3 rounds of prednisalone so that was better? Although if all is ok I am going with my gut instinct and saying def the acupuncture as she seemed to suggest Chinese medicine can help nk cells and progesterone levels out ( something I am low on when pregnant !)

dildoos · 28/01/2015 21:41

Thank you determind! If I get to the appointment on the 25/2/15 I most certainly will be eating chocolate Grin and copious amounts of it!! X

dildoos · 28/01/2015 21:40

Determind- hats off to that £1000 positivity on tasteless milkshake! We paid the £350 today and i kept thinking that's £350 I could spend on a new kitchen or a house move depending, a holiday a splurge on clothes, a spa sod it not a spa day a whole weekend away at spa maybe?
Do you know if I don't make it to the 6 week mark do you get a refund in the intralipid's? Sorry for my matter of fact way of dealing with myself at moment but I seem to cope better like that x

Determined123 · 28/01/2015 21:30

Oh tip for the intralipids, make sure you are super hydrated and wrap up warm so you are 'vascular' I had loads try's with my first one as my veins were hard to get. Ended up in the side of my wrist. Was jumping up and down and running my hands under hot water to help.

Second time round (I knew all this) and worked second go easy. Just a little tip to help things go smooth!

Oh and I had some sugar/choc about half hour before...no clue if it helped but I figured it's what body builders do before a comp to help with their veins pop (and an excuse to eat choc!!) so tried it!! ha ha xx

Determined123 · 28/01/2015 21:24

Whoo hoo twins would be awesome! Yay!!

Trying-Yes wil ask that, I think I can only go up one tab higher but it's deffo worth asking-good spot, didn't think of that!

Oh the intralipids! I hear you Sunny/Dildoos (with travel I have spent about £1000 on 2 that got me know where these past 2 months) Most expensive tasteless milkshake I ever bought! Ha ha!

But...there's a big but...if it gets you that baby is worth every single penny and is a great investment Wink xxxxxxx

dildoos · 28/01/2015 21:15

Sunny- Sad and Angry to the intralipid fees for you!
Have you all your questions, thoughts written down?
How are you feeling at the moment? X

Tryingno1 · 28/01/2015 20:36

determined i was thinking - ask mr s if upping ur metformin dose would be helpful? i don't know wot dose ur on...and its prob not but worth asking?

sunnyday01 · 28/01/2015 19:34

I thought twins too hula!

Getting a blood test sounds like a good idea dildoos - what a pavlova all this eRly testing , taking pred, sorting intralipids etc is! I can totally identify with the not wanting to waste money on drip having paid for mine last week!

My appt is next weds at 4pm

OP posts:
dildoos · 28/01/2015 19:28

Good idea trying! Maybe if I call gp tomorrow and ask if I can have this done, I don't mind paying privately should I have too.
Hula yes I had a tarot done 1 year ago and she said you will have twin boys but I laughed it off! Especially when I saw her on 2/1/15 and she said you will have a boy but you won't fall pregnant until September or October and you won't meet your son this year ( yes so it's now playing on my mind!)
I had high hcg after MC for 6 weeks I could kick off a tesco own brand test so that too makes me think MC as I have never ever ever in my whole trying days which I guess started in 2004 had an early positive xx

Hula2 · 28/01/2015 19:08

Hi Dildoos

I agree this sounds more likely a new preg than not (yay!), so you d be 8dpo and i have def read of women getting bfp this early and if ovu was just a day or too earlier than you thought it was that could make u think you are earlier than u are. If clearblue says 1-2 wks that could fit too. I can t see you would ovu with hcg still in the system and if you d had a reeally early mc would that much hcg still be left 3 wks later ? Hcg can give u positive opks but that would have been the case continously from af and then reducing which would have made the monitor peak really early or not at all.

Yep i think it def sounds promising.

Oh and the other thing would be what about twins .......?!

Tryingno1 · 28/01/2015 19:01

But dildoos it sounds to me like u r preg and just implanted really early!
