Saw prof Q today. She said that my lupus anti coagulant test is now normal so she said I don't need clexane. She said the latest research with aspirin is more people got pregnant on the placebo than on aspirin and that the progesterone research went the same way, less got pregnant on progesterone, so unless people have low progesterone it may make no difference. She wouldn't give me prednisone because I am on metformin. And doesn't think it would be good for me to take it anyhow. So plan is to take metformin but no progesterone and no clexane. She has booked me for a scan 2 weeks today if by some miracle I haven't had a MC. She said if I have a MC then they could repeat the NK test to see if it was at a low point last Nov and is now higher. She also said could do the scratch again. But that's all they can do. She said I can't be part of the sitagliptin trial because your cycles have to be no more than 32 days long to take part, because the cost of the placebo is too much money, and so that's the rules they had to agree to for the funding. She said that if any sperm issue could pay for private DNA fragmentation tests but that all they would recommend to improve the sperm following those tests is well man tablets, or only other option is IVF which we can't afford. Not feeling hopeful for our rainbow.
She said there is no research to confirm if progesterone or clexane cause miscarriages but given they haven't worked for me she thinks it is safer to not take either. I haven't started anything yet for this bfp so going to have to trust her and take nothing and see what happens. She gave me a print out of the blood tests they ran, it's more tests than the standard NHS ones that Worcester did. They tested: full blood count, tsh, free t3, free t4, clotting screen, cardiolipin abs, Csc? Which gives a prothrombin time, hbac1, lupus anti coagulant (which was negative), prothrombin gene mutation, short fbc, thrombophilia screen/protein C, tissue transglutaminase, vitamin D. Every single one was normal. No idea if there is anything else I could be tested for? So frustrating. My lining is supposedly good. Hysteroscopy clear bar for few small adhesions that were removed. I can't have tube blockages else I wouldn't be getting pregnant. Pcos been treated for 7 1/2 months now. All blood tests normal. NK cells normal and stromal cells and other stuff that they looked at all normal. She said sperm count and motility must be fine else wouldn't be getting pregnant every time. So only possible sperm issue can be treated by well man tablets, and nothing else that they can suggest for me other than above, in case the progesterone or clexane is having a negative effect. Forgot to ask her re hcg injections, so just emailed prof B as its one thing I haven't tried yet.
Today's test is bottom line, top line is yesterday's, both a little bit darker than the same dpo last cycle. Tomorrow is 14 dpo and last cycle I had a really strong line so hoping for the same tomorrow...
