Assisted conception after recurrent miscarriage part 7

nanny I have only had intrallipids at 14dpo. This pregnancy was more like 18dpo so I am sure that having intrallipids later won't make a difference. Were you on steroids too? ZW told me that it was ok to have intrallipids during the week you get a bfp so from 14dpo as it won't make any difference at that early stage. Don't beat yourself up that you could have done something to prevent a miscarriage as it was probably a chromosonal reason.

Brown I've been told by two consultants that there's no need to sit out a cycle after a mc. I've never managed to get pregnant straight after a mc, though.

Nanny thinking of you. Wise words from sue!

BFN in the morning. Not surprised at all.
thank you ladies for all your kind words.
Village its you hysteroscopy soon, isn't it? Have you got your results from infection test yet?

Brown always wear whatever and they tell me what to take off and give me a robe/towel to cover myself. Generally is lower tummy, feet and hands for me but sometimes my back, shoulders etc.
Don't know what antibiotics they gave you but had a look at it when I was taking mine and I THINK it is just to prevent reinfection. Doxycycline can be dangerous later in pregnancy and the other one I had can be used in pregnancy. Are you thinking about TTC straight away?
My bleeding is weird - had those 48 hours of quite a heavy one , than 2 days of just occasional spotting and that againg last night proper red bleed with cramps. Nothing today so far...

brown I had lots of this kind of acupuncture; for me, they needed to access the legs from just above knee down (so, loose jogging bottoms are ideal), and depending on whether they do your back points or your front depends on where they need to access for that. If it's front I didn't need to take my top off as it was mainly around the abdomen and arms; for the back points I had to take off my top.

Antibiotics they say no unprotected sex usually because guys apparently clear their infections quicker than we do, and there is the likelihood of cross-reinfection. But if your DH isn't taking them then I don't see the point - however, if he isn't taking them, you may well just end up reinfected anyway once your antibiotic course has finished??

Nanny so sorry to hear about the negative. Hope you are doing ok and that the bleeding is easing off. Hugs to you.

brown the hidden infections literature sent out by Serum says that if the male partner has symptoms of infection they can do a test on a semen sample - but they generally only suggest testing the female partner unless the man has such symptoms. If the female partner tests positive, then they assume the man is infected too. Such a shame that your DH won't take the ABs! Maybe you could gently point out to him that an untreated infection in men can cause urinary and prostate problems?

Waves to all.

How did the acupuncture go Brown ?
Village thank you. Any news about your results?

brown I'd accept the free treatments if she's offering them!

I've just had my infections screening results - negative for chlamydia, herpes, BV, ureaplasma, the lot. But the "good" bacteria are there in slightly smaller quantities than they should be, which suggests a bog-standard vaginal infection for which Penny will prescribe antibiotics when I see her next week. Flying out on Tuesday evening. I'm feeling a bit nervous - I guess I'm expecting Penny to wave a magic wand, which of course she can't do. But all at Serum have been incredibly helpful and supportive so far...

Hope everyone is well!

brown I'm sorry to hear about the shakes... that's very strange.

DH and both children are going to Athens with me - I need him along in case he has to get his sperm tested, and I don't want to leave the kids (especially our 3-year-old) with anyone else. We'll try to see the Acropolis and the agora while there - it's been a good 20 years since I was last in Athens! It seems crazy to say this, but I'm half hoping that Serum will find uterine scarring that they can "fix" - I suppose I'm looking for something "fixable" as the cause of my recent chemicals, rather than having to accept that they're down to plain old-fashioned egg quality. The major infections have now been ruled out, so scarring is about all that's left...

Hey not sure if any of you read the pred thread still? But the latest post is interesting reading. About a success story but the lady's doctor actually found that the prednisolone had dulled her uterine NK cells so much so she was no longer able to conceive. It says this can be quite common. Is interesting to me as soon as I started taking prednisolone I no longer could conceive and then could again when i stopped? Anyway you might have some questions for her - just thought I'd flag it!

Sorry for the silence have had trouble logging into mumsnet and finding the thread!

Hope you are doing ok Nanny & brown.

village what day are you off to Athens? Try not to worry it will all be fine.

I am having a minor op/procedure to do with my heart Wednesday, makes a change from the other end! Really not looking forward to it as am only having sedation and will be awake, takes 2-4 hrs...only good thing is a few days off work! Have an check on the whole time so everyone will get a good view of my top half which makes a big change, lol!

Hope everyone else is ok.

Pebbles hope everything goes well for you on Wednesday - I'm sure it will! Enjoy the time off!!

We're flying to Athens tomorrow evening. Haven't had a chance to stress about it thanks to a pair of domestic disasters this week. Washing machine packed up last Sunday. Power shower blew up on Monday, covering the bathroom in soot. After endless complications I've only just managed to get them both fixed. DS says - "Stop fussing mum, these are first world problems." True enough.

Hope everyone is doing ok!

Sounds like you have had a hectic week village and need that little anaesthetic sleep!! Keep us posted to how you get on and hope you get to enjoy a bit of Athens.

We had a chat with Penny this evening about where to go from here. She feels thesim problem is my uterus but she thought it was improved enough that we could have a positive outcome. She would really like is to try with my eggs again as she is saying we need to forget our previous ivf rounds before my uterus was sorted out as it would have been impossible for it to have worked. She thinks my eggs are not a problem but totally understands why we are thinking about using donor eggs. She would want me to have another hysto as some font adhesions would have grown back, if she is happy with my uterus we would then go for donor eggs the following month. She said with my eggs it's around 27% chance and with donor around 50%. We are not doing anything until next year so have time to mull it all over.

Sorry for the me post!

Umm im now on pred from day 7 though prof q thinks it caused high uterine cells :/
Village good luck in Athens hubby's prescription came today so will start the sperm protocol. Upped gonal f to 150 this cycle too.
Duggs good luck for the induction.
Pebbles glad you've spoken to Peny and good luck with whatever you decide it's good to have the options and percentages to think about, though still not easy. Were hopefully going over in feb when I can find somewhere local to get an Aquascan!
Lucie is home from uni for a few days so that's nice, she's brought me washing!!
Waves to all x

Village hope all goes well for you in Athens and you'll manage to have a little holiday as well
Pebbles hope it is nothing serious and all goes well tomorrow. Loads to think about after yout chat with Penny...
Brown how are you doing?
Any of you ladies going to Fertility show this weekend?

Thinking of you Pebbles, Duggs and Village plus everyone else too (obvs!).
