They told me at Coventry that they'll prescribe me progesterone no matter what, and I think my local hospital will prescribe aspirin. That's assuming everything comes back fine - obviously if they find anything they'll prescribe more; steroids from Coventry, anti-clotting stuff if they find that at my local hospital.
I think I was quite affected by the chat at Coventry yesterday, as he really emphasised that the important thing is to keep trying - their theory is that it's all about the womb lining, but the thing about that is that it regenerates each time, so you're never dealing with the same situation twice. Which makes lots of sense to me - but then why treat?
My big fear is that there is something wrong, but it's my eggs and no one can do anything about that.
I think all the time about this:
The funny one, that's a mystery, is they say the outcomes of pregnancies post mcs are better the more antenatal care the woman receives. How can that be? Is there an implication that had you had more care (though what, as here's nothing you can do for at least the first trimester?) the less chance you'd have lost the previous one(s)? What about people who can't access free, supportive care?
Surely the only logical conclusion to draw from this is that it does help to keep positive and keep anxiety down, and that scans and reassurance does that? And that makes me think even more that a lot of this stuff is placebo (and steroids seem to be like a nasty substance to be fucking with for the sake of a placebo). I really, really hate that thought because I'm a pessimistic person who lives by the mantra of 'prepare for the worst', and who tried to deal with each pregnancy by not getting my hopes up. DH pointed this out the other day - I get jealous of people who have never MCed because I say they get to be all happy and not worry, but, as he said, I was never like that anyway. I read all those stories of people buying 'daddy' babygros and all that with jealous incredulity - even with my first one I think I told him with the words 'I have good news, but really it's too early to be good news, but it's news'. I remember repeatedly telling him the odds of miscarriage and how we mustn't get excited - and then I started bleeding a week later. I hate all the positive thinking stuff (I think I have a bit of intellectual snobbery about it, if I'm honest) so I so don't want it to be true - but how else can you read those stats about supportive care? As you say, they can't be doing anything, so it has to all be emotional.
