Hi ladies

I wondered if you could help me at all? I'm going in tomorrow for an ERPC following my 3rd miscarriage (discovered at 8w pregnancy looked to have stopped at 6w3). Prior to this I had a MMC last summer and sadly lost my little girl Amelia Rose at 20w in January. Just at my wits end and can't cope with any more of an emotional bashing. The NHS are saying there is nothing wrong (was extensively tested after our little girl died) but can't just keep putting myself out there and getting knocked down again. Have just taken a deep breath and booked an appointment with Mr S but really nervous and wondered if you could shed some light for me? I'm wondering what he's like? What to expect in terms of tests and treatment? And whether he's given you the much needed confidence to believe things could be different this time? Hope you don't mind me asking but would really love to hear your experiences and thoughts. I could do with hope of a miracle right now!! Emma xxx

ari said pretty much everything I wanted to say so I could just copy and paste . Everyone read what Ari said and imagine i said it too.

brownie you have no idea how thrilled I am to hear from you, at the risk of sounding slightly stalkerish, I have been thinking about you heaps and am so pleased you have given us an update - fingers crossed for you! Looking forward to hearing more good news soon.

duggs been thinking of you lots too. Would be happy to have lunch or something if you want to talk in person - that's if you don't mind being around a pregnant person. Not that I look pregnant, free will vouch that I just look fat. So I could just generally make you feel better by looking fat and frumpy wearing an increasingly odd assortment of clothes (just so you know I tried to buy some trendy maternity stuff from your outift but had to return it as my body is just not the right shape! wah).

fwiw, I read last year that with my history I have a 3% chance of a successful pregnancy. It was not particularly confidence inspiring.

re the extra special sperm tests Mr S said not to worry about spending the money but I did anyway because I am pig headed and deludedly think I am medically qualified. Ditto the AMH test (which was also disastrous). I'm hoping your insurance company will come through for your ari. Any news on the redundanc front (I hope I am not mixing you up with someone else).

snoopy I have tried to imagine the ice cap and it sounds hideous! I know chemo has a cumulative effect like you say, but I am hoping you are one of the lucky ones who doesn't react too badly to it.

choccy i have been known to hide in my room from my PIL and pretend not to be home . Is that tactic an option for future visits???

Who was it that was asking about my DS? No he wasn't particulalrly prem at all - 36 weeks and we went home after 24 hours. It's just that my hospital has a premature antenatal clinic and I tick several of the referral boxes. Frozen any chance of a referral to St T's just for a checkup if your hospital doesn't have a prem clinic? Sorry to hear that your head midwife isn't helping...suppose you can't switch hospitals altogether or is that just a logistical nightmare?

Glad to hear you've branched out and ordered a pram free. No movements here (19+3) so of course I will be assuming the worst until my scan on 15 June...

Big wave to everyone else

PQ I am actually using you as my shining light, since you got pg successfully despite having a less-than optimal AMH test. I'm hoping my own less-than-great FSH test means as little as your AMH result did, in the end, since I have also been told I have about a 5% chance of successfully conceiving now :)
You're quite right, it is me and OH that are under threat of redundancy, we won't find out if we're actually hit until end of next week. Just in time for Father's Day, and my next test date, not that I'm thinking much will happen then! Actually that will be the same day as your passing-with-flying-colours scan (see the optimism there? :) ).

Welcome Emma and I am so very sorry for the pain you're going through right now. I feel for you, as will all of us on here, huge hugs to you. I'm sure you may not want to trawl through the last 6 parts of this thread but if you were to, you would see there are several success stories on here, quite a few who have either had or are imminently having their own 'miracle' babies after seeing Mr S. Personally I find Mr S a very nice man indeed, he does genuinely seem to care about you as a person, but do bear in mind that he tends to work at quite a pace! He's very open to questions, go prepared with a written list of any you have I should as I personally find they all fly out of my head when I'm sat in front of him! Go armed with your cycle history, miscarriage history, etc as he will want to see it - if you print it out you can just give it to him when he asks. Are you seeing him at Harley Street or the New Life Clinic? If Harley Street he will send you along to The Doctor's Laboratory in Wimpole Street, the next street along; if NLC they do the blood tests there. I can't tell you what tests he will do on you as he will order what he deems appropriate for your history, but most likely he will test you for Natural Killer Cell levels, along with various blood clotting disorders, thyroid levels, and some other things that no doubt I've forgotten and the other ladies on here will tell you about.

Do feel free to come on here and ask questions, vent, air feelings, etc etc at any time. We're a friendly bunch, and only bite when really, really hungry

And Emma I meant to say, best of luck for your ERPC tomorrow.

Echo I am so sorry to hear about your losses, especially your little girl at 20 weeks. None of it is easy. I am also so glad you have found us, and also that your research has led you to Mr S. I remember feeling really excited and hopeful when I first saw him last May as I was so hoping that this would be the magic bullet. He's very lovely and like Ari said your first appointment will be just about taking down the details and arranging the tests. Once you get your test results back (only takes a couple of weeks I think) then you can work out what your next step is. Not everyone who goes to see him gets diagnoses with high nkc by the way! But if you do have that diagnosis we are here to help with, oh, soooo much knowledge we have acquired/learnt/made up/Dr Googled :) Please stick around!

As for success rates, well the clinic as a whole have an 85% success rate which I think is pretty damn good, being that most of us who have found our way there have extra issues - recurrent miscarriage, thyroid or other autoimmune problems, some who have never had a BFP, others who have a history of chemical pregnancies and many of us who are now on the wrong side of 35+. The fact that you are getting pregnant in the first place, again from our amateur workings out here, is a very good sign. I know when people have said that to me in the past I feel like biting back with a comment that this doesn't help when you cant seem to keep a pregnancy, but it seems from our stats here that those who get pregnant a bit quicker (ie who are not struggling with both fertility and miscarriage, 'just' the latter) seem to be responding best to treatment so far.

PQ doesn't look pregnant at all! But then apparently she didn't right the way up until she gave birth to DS. Very jealous in terms of getting figure back quickly. I look a bit like I have swallowed a beach ball. It is still very early for movement for you PQ but I remember that mentalling well. My Doppler was very handy at such instances, shout if you want me to pop down with it for a bit of reassurance! But not everyone finds them reassuring. I remember they didn't do iggi much good.

Great to hear from my due date buddy Charlie. What sort of place are you going to for the long weekend? Into the desert again? Yes until yesterday I had bought precisely nothing but now have a 'starter pack' of a couple of vests, mittens and socks etc just in case anything happens sooner rather than later. It still doesn't feel very real, even though I have a growing baby kicking the hell out of me from the inside most of the time.

Hello. Just wanted to say to PQ that I wasn't feeling movement at 19 weeks - can't remember when it started but was def after my 20 week scan.
I used my doppler quite a lot in the 3rd trimester (often to wake the baby up so I'd feel a movement!). I found it less reassuring ealier on, before I could feel any movements. Still it worked "most" times, but filled me full of horror the times it didn't!

Welcome to Emma, hope your appointment with Mr S goes well and gives you some hope to move forward with.

ahh brownie great to hear from you.. you are almost there now !

Well I saw Dr G today (he isn't as friendly as Dr S I must say and uses a lot of medical jargon) but he had all our results back from the USA and Athens.

I was right in saying my NK cells are normal levels.
DH and are are not enough of a genetic match to cause an issue, I don't have anti bodies to him blaa blaa blaa..

But ASHAMED to say I did test positive for a strand of hidden chlamydia ..(have been married for 3 yrs and not had sex with anyone else for 5 or so.. NOW trying to recall exactly who it was...??

I also had ureaplasma and DH had enterococcus which can go someway to explain his high DNA fragmentation.

Have been perscribed some anti biotics and must re test in 6 weeks time.

Have been researching and most google posts say those things are not good for fertility and can cause mc.
Lesley Regan doesn't seem to agree..but then again she doesn't agree with much and is still in the tender loving care camp which isn't really a camp I would be happy in.

Anyway. Regardless. At least the steroids and intrallipids etc. did something and the 2 failures were probably not down to the immunology treatment not working..just my and DH body reflecting those of permiscious teenagers .

Anyway sue thanks for pointing me in this direction. The standard IVF chlaymidia test didn't show up positive so it really is HIDDEN isn't it.

Am going to get these things sorted out and have a break for the rest of the summer and perhaps try again in the Autumn.

Waves to everyone.. and PQ will pm you... pram buying free and I can still remember the fur coat lesbian hugs back in November I think it was the 6 week scan. ahh....

Wow, glad you have had some results, especially as it's for something treatable - won't it be great if this is the last thing you need to "fix" before a successful pregnancy? You have shown such perseverence, surely this is it now

wow Duggs, am staggered, imagine if it was just that! Fingers crossed for you, will watch with interest. That's definately made my mind up, I'm going to him and having these tests done before i put us through another round of ivf. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry not to namecheck. This letrozole / pred combination is not doing any good for my mood, been feeling really down and too blue to keep up with everyone. Not convinced this is going to work for us. Follicles looked good last week though, 15 and 17, and had good FSH, LH results. Still think there must be another issue for us. x

Thanks everyone for your kind words and good wishes! It is lovely to hear from you.

Free Completely understandable you having not bought anything yet. We didn't start until about 35 weeks much to our family's dismay. I felt horrid barking at people not to buy us baby clothes or anything, but it is the only way we could cope. We only bought things for the hospital bag and figured everything else we can get afterwards.

Abney lucky 7th time round indeed, sorry to hear you have had a further 4 losses :(

Hi Iggi, Comedy, Picolina, Ari, Cheerful & duggs...sorry for anyone I have missed. Brain mangled now, need sleep.

PQ Your post made me laugh, not stalkerish at all, I have thought about you all a lot over the last 6 months and prayed life would be kind and give everyone a break.

Frozen - It is nice to hear your DD1 was ickle but all turned out ok. We have had growth scans every 4 weeks and she has remained constant which is good.

Just been out for dinner and the cinema to try and distract ourselves from mentalling before the CS. Went to get my hair done today and ended up being told how wonderful it is to give birth naturally in a birthing pool and how it is our rite of passage. That would of been my dream but we are going with advice that stillbirth is a risk because of the medication I am on and that she should come out sooner than later thus the CS. Went to the toilet and cried for 20 minutes as felt I was missing out on something. Quickly slapped myself and realised that the most important thing is getting her out safely.

Either I or DH will post tomorrow to let you know how things went. We all have had the strength to keep on trying despite so much heartache, so must draw on that when I am scared tomorrow. x x x

Brownie good luck for tomorrow x I know I'm biased, but c sections are absolutely fine!

Carebear glad you are resolved on a plan.

duggs those results are interesting. After my mcs my doc over here did the ureaplasma test on me and it was positive ( she did not do hidden C or other ones) so me and DH had to take antibiotics for a while. I was re- tested it was still there so we both then had to retake a different type of ab. It was the next pregnancy that was the current one, albeit that was also after I saw Dr S and did intralipids, also regulated my cycles through metformin and acupuncture and lost weight so who knows which of these things could have been the successful thing.
DH and I did used to get recurring mild sore throats which we put down to the air con but once we'd taken these anti biotics we didn't really get them again. I'm not a great fan of taking anti biotics but I do wonder if that cleared out something that had contributed to the mcs.

brownie you're totally right to have a c-section to reduce chances of still birth. I think anyone that was told that would do the same. Anyway there are advantages and disadvantages to both ways of giving birth so just relax and enjoy meeting your little one. I hope you update us when you can! Exciting!

Maybe I was a bit early with my baby shopping enthusiasm! I did go into Baby Gap when I was about 16 wks and the shop assistant giggled hysterically about me looking at baby clothes. In fact she thought is so funny she walked over to the cashier when I was paying, told her I was only 16 wks and they both had a good chuckle until they saw me glaring at them. I was mortified though and didn't buy anything for a few weeks after that.

free no desert hotel this time,thought that might be too remote. This is actually in the city but on the coast amongst the mangoves. The hotel only opened the other day so I am bracing myself for rubbish service and snagging issues.

free i booked doc appt, monday afternoon, so we will see. i think you may be right, i read on the weekend thyroid probs can be brought on by steriod use.

i love reading everyone comments and always feel sad when i finish!

we've started trying again, im ovulating at mom , day 11. so can prob test in another week or so since my cycle is 26 days.

Just posting from my phone at work so can't scroll back far but wanted to say how lovely to hear from brownie and wish her all the best for today.

Also good to hear from snoopy. Glad to hear the chemo is bearable. Stay strong, you're doing brilliantly.

Sorry for fleeting post. Hope everyone's ok. Will try to catch up properly soon!

duggs - so glad you have something that is easily treatable for once! I am fascinated by hidden c etc and also the positive effect of anti-b's on overactive immune system. Mentioned in Dr Beer's book too. I think I told you I had a mega dose of anti-b's before I conceived DS and also this time around I had a round for a sinus infection a few weeks before conceiving this pregnancy cheerful - you back up my anti-b theory!

brownie i don't blame you for crying after hearing the water birth dream sequence. I only just managed not to punch the mother who had a lovely water birth and then said to me "oh that's what you wanted wasn't it...and you had an emergency c-section...oooohhhhhh". I am thinking of you and Mr B today, I have every confidence it will be great.

pico glad you have a Dr's appt.

Thanks for the reassurance re non movement ari and free - pretty sure i felt something last night after all after A LOT of chocolate

juliet so sorry to hear about your losses, I had a few things I wanted to ask you but will have to log in later when not at work.

big hi to everyone else

duggs Really interesting to see your results, and don't be ashamed of any infection you may have - bear in mind hidden C can lay around for years, an ex-partner of yours could have had it and not known about it. No shame there :) Can I ask, you say your DH was positive for enterococcus .. presumably he and you both have to take hefty doses of anti-bs (is it still something like 25 days worth?) but are you taking the same ones? Reason I ask is, I'm planning also to get tested for hidden-C/ureaplasma/mycoplasma (but probably via Serum in Athens, if Mr S will test me & DP for DQa and sperm issues then I probably won't end up going to Dr G after all) but I would bet any money DP won't want that testing as well as whatever Mr S has in mind, and I understand that your partner needs to be treated as well as you in case he reinfects you once you're clear. I just wondered if the anti-bs they prescribe to clear the hidden-C would also clear any other infection (like enterococcus) in case I do end up having one or more of these and on the offchance DP might have infections too (which we won't know if he isn't tested!). If you see what I mean! Mind you, how I'd get prescribed anti-bs for him as well without him being tested is another story altogether, as is actually convincing him to take the things!

Just out of interest, was it blood they took from your DH for his testing, or was it all sperm-related testing? Wondering whether Mr S would be open to infection testing as well shrug

So glad they have found something, anyway duggs ... crossing all fingers/toes/eyes/ears that this is the answer for you!!

brownie lots and lots of luck for today, and please don't worry yourself that you aren't having the exact birth you wanted - it really and truly doesn't matter, what matters is ending up with your LO safe and sound. I really really wanted a water birth with DD, but ended up flat-on-back with ventouse delivery having being fully prepped up for C-section. A very long way from the birth I had wanted, but at the end of the day, my DD was safely born and that's what matters!

PQ Think it was igggi that gave reassurance on non-movement, not me ... I honestly don't remember when I started to feel DD moving, but they say you feel it earlier with a second. But I'll make reassuring noises your way anyway, I'm sure everything is going great :) And what a good excuse to chomp choc!!

/waves to everyone and hope you're all managing to dodge the rain.

Good luck brownie!

Duggs it is great that you are finally getting some answers. I think we might be following you down that road if our IVF isn't successful. You are a bit of a pioneer for me - a few months ahead with SO, IUI, IVF and now this! And don't forget the C could have originated with your husband ;) so there is no need to ...

I've been reading up about the infection-related fertility stuff. I haven't had many sexual partners but a couple of them were proper mansluts. Hmmm.

Good luck for today Brownie, hope all goes well.

Duggs very interesting re the hidden c, I hope this is the answer for you I really do. Can I ask what the other things are you mention that you and your dh tested positive for?

Waves to everyone else, am off to Paris tomorrow for a couple if nights with dh for our wedding anniversary. So glad I have had that to look forward too as it has been keeping me going. Hope you all have a lively weekend.

Sorry about the spellings I meant lovely weekend, bloody i phone!

Hello...wanted to pop in just to say you were right, it really didn't matter about what type of birth we had, the csection was fine. Made even better because the team here tried to make it as close to our birth plan as possible. Had immediate skin to skin, they lowered the curtain as she was being delivered and let me keep her while they stitched me up. They were fab and I have no regrets. I managed to BF her within an hour of coming out so am over the moon.

We have called her Amelia Alice Aspden. She actually weighed in at 7lbs in the end! Thank you all for your support, I will post properly once I am home in 3-4 days.

Take care everyone, sending you big hugs x

Brownie good luck with the csection and also to echo what others have said about it not being your choice. I also wanted a home water birth with DD1 but ended up on my back in a hospital bed too! Things rarely go according to the birth plan so don't beat yourself up about it. The safety of the baby and you are the important thing, not how she comes into the world.

Duggs I am so pleased you have found an answer at long last - glad I bullied you into having it done. BTW when I did research on hidden C I found it can lay dormant in you regardless of your sexual history, a bit like the herpes virus so it might not have been the product of your misspent youth! Thats how you can still test positive for it even after having a child with the same partner and neither of you have strayed to catch it from someone else. That test will be my next step if this pregnancy doesnt work out.

It would be amazing if this is the reason for all your losses! Great too that Mr S has bought your NK cells down so at least the last year has not been wasted. Do you still need to take the steroids etc to keep the levels down? I think you asked me earlier if I was on the hydroxy and yes I am and this is the first BFP where the hydroxy is at full effect (with my CP in March I had only been on it for 2 weeks).

Good luck for all the testers this week and to pico and pinkdragon for getting back into TTC again

Echo hope the ERPC was bearable - I always feel awful after having them as it all seems so final.

PQ if you are worried, why dont you go to the local hospital to get a scan?

I remember a few of you saying that you were lucky with pregnancy no.7. This one is my 7th attempt too (not counting my DD) so I am hoping it will be lucky number 7 for me too. I have been feeling exhausted and having to go to bed at 9.30pm plus want to eat everything in sight! Only a week to go until my first scan and I am already worrying. I know you will all think I am mad but I am still doing CB digital tests twice a week to give me peace of mind. Did another one yesterday and it is still saying 5+ weeks so the HCG levels are still high. I just wish I could know whether there is anything there yet and in the right place but it's still early days at 6+2 and every day is dragging by so slowly!

Crossed posts!

Congrats Brownie what a lovely story after all the worry you have had and 7lbs is a good size!! Really pleased for you, now go and enjoy time with little Amelia.

Oh wow! Brownie has had her baby! Huge congratulations Brownie, after everything you have been through it is so heartwarming to hear of little Amelia's arrival. I can remember how nervous you were when we met up and you were just 15 weeks. To think that it has all gone well is so lovely. Can't wait to hear more about it and glad that the C Section went so well. Do join Digi, Iggi, Comedy and Coconut on the grads thread!

Pebbles I was thinking of you in relation to all Duggs test too - make sure you write them down. Have a lovely trip to Paris. Ah, both your and mine wedding anniversaries this week (mine was the 5th) and was just looking at the weather in Spain where we were both married and it's 38 degrees today

Echo I hope the ERPC was as bearable as it could be for you. Horrible to have to go through but good to get it over with once you know there's nothing to be done. I really hope you get some answers with the tests.

Not long to go for the scan Sue! Great that the tests are still looking good and you are having some good symptoms. Not that everyone gets symptoms of course but it is good nevertheless.

I've been having a lot of movement today and am wondering if the baby is turning from its current breech position. No scan until 22nd June so I guess I won't really know until then.

And another baby joins the Grads! Huge congratulations to Brownie, Mr Brownie and the new addition to the family. So lovely to see a happy ending after everything you have been through.

Woohoo brownie and mr brownie!! So very happy to hear of the safe arrival of little Amelia, and well done you for posting from your hospital bed, thank you for letting us know it all went so well! Now take it easy, recover quickly and enjoy your new bundle of joy :)

Hmm Lucky number 7 eh ... that means I have one more MC to go. Well, get on with it body .. :)

pebbles Have a really great time in Paris, relax and enjoy yourself!

sue You're not mad at all, I am certain we all understand the compulsion to keep checking. As I've said before, if only we could all go get hCG tests as easily as they do in the US, it would hugely help our peace of mind! Hang in there, your symptoms are sounding good!
