TTC after recurrent miscarriage - thread 3

She thought of herself as a bit of a psychic. Told me I had a blockage in my bowel, a blockage in a fallopian tube and said that I wasn't going to like it but it wasn't my time to have a baby even though all I want is to be a mum. I felt really uneasy about it all. She also said my pelvis was out of alignment and tried to put it back in place!

@Hopefulforourrainbow that sounds like a story! I was debating Accupuncture or reflexology so do tell! Glad your having a pj day xxx

Thank you @norbert23. Yes resting and relaxing. Currently sitting in my pjs, feet up, fire lit and a cup of decaf tea thinking about all the housework I should be doing. Spa sounds good. Yeah i tried acupuncture. Didn't really like the woman doing it but it was strangely relaxing. Much better than my reflexology experience!

@Hopefulforourrainbow that's fantastic news I'm so pleased for you! I hope you're still resting and relaxing xx
I have a gp appointment with someone who seems to be the most knowledgeable about all things fertility wise, not til 22nd nov though. In the mean time I'm also in the self care zone, I had a spa day last week and have another week off to look forward to. I need to sort out some Accupuncture - has anyone else tried it? X

Lovely to hear from you @curlytwirlytwos. I'd be tempted to ring up about the referral of you've heard nothing. I got a letter after about 6 weeks with an appointment for 2-3 months time so even if it's a long wait for the appointment I'd have expected to have heard something by now? No harm in chasing it up if you've got the phone number. But obviously if it's going to cause more stress to be thinking about it you can always leave it for a bit?

Lovely to hear from you @CurlyTwirlyTwos. I've been thinking of you and have been wondering how you're doing. I'm glad you've been able to confide in friends. I don't know what I'd have done without the support of my friends this past year or so. It has been hard as they have all had a baby or 2 since my hubby and I started trying but I've got to be happy for them too. Look after yourself and pop in any time to let us know how you're doing. Hopefully you'll get your appointment through soon.

I’ve just checked in and wanted to say I’m so, so pleased for you @hopefulforarainbow It’s the best news! Crossing all my fingers and toes that things progress well. Sending positive vibes that it’ll work out this time!

Everyone else from earlier in the are also are going well Anne and Miami and Labmum I can’t believe how far into your pregnancies you are now!

FMU - wow, what a rollercoaster! But a good outcome for your baby daughter. Newbies mooncup and others, I’m so sorry you are here! I’m not much help, I’ve very little medical knowledge and not seen a rmc specialist yet. I’ve sort of put my head in the sand each time, but know how you feel. It’s so utterly shit!

Update from me, reading on the thread as I’m having a sleepness night. I’ve been avoiding all pregnancy related reading (including Mumsnet)! Not much update from me: no news on my referral to RMC, it’s been 2 months now. I can’t decide whether to chase them up or not. Thought I might give them 3 before pursuing, its seems like mental energy I don’t want to use up until next year (gearing myself up for it)

I’m about the ‘self care’ now I’ve had couple of spa days (instead of spending my money on fertility acupuncture/ovulation gear/ttcing related things)! I’ve been catching up with friends who’ve I’ve been avoiding and let them know what has been going on. Despite two of my best friends both being in their 3rd trimesters (they were both my bridesmaids 11 months ago) they have been absolutely lovely. I should have shared it with them much sooner rather than keep it to myself.

I still feel a bit ‘funny’ or ‘strange’ about this rmc experience. The counsellor I’m seeing and my DH are viewing it as ‘bad luck’, but until I see someone who is specialist in this, I’m trying my very best to get into the ‘zen’ zone!

I’ve been thinking of you and I’m so pleased all is well with you and your baby. I was there a couple of months ago and we all need the good news stories.

Thank you. I’m beyond exhausted, I ache like a bastard and it was brilliant London is the best and they had such a good time. They’re little sponges at the moment and into everything.

Haha thanks @Anne! Hope you had a good day out!

So very pleased and relieved for you hopeful,was checking in while juggling insane twins on a day out in London!

My consultant said there's no harm in giving it a go. I would have started it whether he said that or not!

So pleased to hear that @hopeful, what a relief for you!
Sorry to hear of your losses @sprinkleofsunshine, I hope you can start to get some answers and that your cycle comes back quickly.
Congratulations @moonpeace, I can empathise with the anxiety, I’m 12 weeks tomorrow and still struggling with the worry which affects my sleep which in turn makes the sickness worse!

That's wonderful @Hopeful!! 😘

I've been going on this website daily for reassurance

Congratulations @moonpeace. Hopefully this will be our turn. Have you considered low dose aspirin too?

Brilliant news @hopeful

Thank you. Yes, all my tests came back ok. We took a 6 month break from trying, I took seven seas trying for a baby, 50mg vitamin b6 for the month before bfp, went on holiday, relaxed and had lots of sex! Didn't track ovulation at all this time. Since bfp I've been on aspirin, cyclogest and I've been taking pregnacare plus vitamins.

Thank you @Hopefulforourrainbow and congratulations on your new pregnancy. Did they test after you're third one/ were you given any supplements or did anything different time?

Hey not long home. I can't believe I'm writing this but there's a strong heartbeat! Measuring at 6+4. My guess was 7 weeks today so not far off. They couldn't see where the bleed came from so they're thinking its the cyclogest irritating my cervix. Got to use back instead of front now. Not sure how I'll get on with that and IBS but I'll give it a go. Have been using that route since Tues night anyway. Next scan booked for 15th Nov and I've to call them if there's any more bleeding. Thank you all for your well wishes xxx

Hi @sprinkleofsunshine. Sorry you've found yourself here. I've had a similar story but the other way round. My 1st mc was mmc at 13 weeks but had stopped growing at 5+6, 5 months after I miscarried naturally at 5+6 and then had a ?ectopic the following month. It took a while for my cycle to return to normal.

Hello all,

Can I tentatively join this thread? Going into hospital tomorrow for medical management for a mmc. Should be 10wks today but stopped developing at 6weeks. Not sure what to expect, but worried and anxious, had 2 mc previously but both have started with bleeding themselves. No children.

Hoping period will return ok as I was very regular before and we can start ttc again shortly. Will be having genetic testing done after tomorrow and hopefully testing on myself/partner if needed now I have had 3.

Anyone been in a similar position?

Thinking of you hopeful

Me too xxx
