Hi everyone, really looking for people with similar experiences here.
I had a MMC 2 weeks ago. Managed to get pregnant using clomid after 2 years of TTC #2 (1st child conceived with no issues). I see a consultant due to endometriosis (who prescribed the clomid). A different consultant I saw in the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit said I could start ttc again once I get my next period. A nurse on the unit also suggested I take progesterone next time to help sustain the pregnancy. I contacted my consultant's secretary to inform them of the miscarriage and ask if I could be prescribed progesterone in the event I get pregnant again. I've been given an appointment for Feb. I asked what happens if my period returns in the meantime and if I can I get progesterone prescribed prior to the appointment. They have got back to me today and said it would be best to wait for a few months before embarking on another pregnancy to have a better chance of a successful pregnancy. WHY?! This doesn't seem to be up to date guidance and doesn't align with what the other consultant said. Is it a case of can't fit me in sooner for an appointment so just tell me to wait, is this genuinely something that will give me a better chance? I'm so upset, it feels like telling someone to wait who has already waited 2 years to get pregnant really invalidates the struggle we've had. AIBU? Should I wait? Should I ignore the consultant and try anyway, and if we do ttc, should I use the clomid I have left or should I try without clomid until I've seen the consultant? Any experiences like this - what did you/ what would you do? Thanks!
