Just wanted a little reassurance from the 'experts'!! I know I have probably had more than my fair share of advice etcc lately! I couldn't resist doing a persona test today. It was pm and I got a very strong result. Also, I have had brown blood a little every day since m/c but today there was a little pink. Does this happen when u ovulate? Was worried and knew there would be some advice here!! Good to know I'm still ov'g though, you get a bit worried after m/c that you've lost the knack! I've never had this when ov'g. That means I'm one step closer to ttc again!!!

Quackers - I am quoting from Dr Winston again:

"Another hormonal problem that can cause miscarriage may occur if the blood level of LH is abnormally high or fluctuating. Abnormalities of LH can lead to the developing egg being matured abnormally, and this seems to lead to a miscarriage in some women. Abnormalities of LH hormone are common in women with PCO. ............ Treantment is definitely possible if miscarriage is occurring because of high LH levels; these can be suppressed by taking the drug buserelin, following which ovulation can be induced with gonadotrophins."

Blimey, don't really think this is relevant to you at all. I'm sure you dont have PCO. But it may be why you m/c. I don't know. Just thought it could be of some interest. I'm prob just scaring you instead! Sorry.

i think you would have high LH all the time if there was a prob. YOu are prob just ov really well this month!

Quackers not sure which side I o'vd I always seem to get twinges all over the place at that time of the month.

DH and drink - nothing excessive - but he had been out the night before his last test and does use this as an excuse - maybe they had headache and couldn't be bothered to swim !!!!

Hopefully we will get him properly primed before his next test, "teetotal and loose undies"

On your reccomendation Egypt, have ordered Dr Winstons book (on DH's credit card which I am sure he will be pleased about !!!!!!)

quackers · 22/08/2003 13:46

Ooh fab! Nik, where did u get it?? I'll order one too. It's got everything in it!!
Egypt - thankyou for that. It is very interesting though that high LH isn't always cos of PCO. Might ask the Doc to test my LH as well. She'll think I'm a right fruitcake going back and asking for these tests. It would just clear that up for me though. You can tell me anything Egypt - would rather know and be able to do something! Have u tested yet for ov? Certainly looks like clomid works very well then - bunny has done SO well. Hope it does the same for you - no reason why it shouldn't!!

Hi quackers. no not tested LH yet. Going to wait another 3 hours. if i can! Sposed to wait 4 hours aren't you and its best taken after midday for some reason. Shall check about 5o/c. will let you know. Yes, your trip to the doc may be worth it.
I got my Dr Winston book from Amazon.co.uk.
Good luck!!!

Cheers Egypt, will order it now! Yes think Doc might be inclined to just check it out for me.
