Can I ask for advice? I live in the UK. Following a successful transfer of a frozen donor embryo overseas, and now at 7 weeks, how long have UK specialists been advising that one should be continuing with the medications in this situation - prednisolone tablets, clexane injections, progesterone pessaries and oestrogen pessaries.GP not helpful with finding an expert in my area of country with the right knowledge and skills who is happy to take on a pregnant patient who had their fertility treatment overseas. Really need that advice, and keen to hear what others in a similar position have been advised to do. Am happy to go private and to travel elsewhere in the UK. Thanks All

I have been told to carry on my drugs (most of which you've listed) until 12 weeks. I'm now at 8+5

Hi I’m just jumping in.
I’ve had 4 miscarriages in 18 months.
2 at 6 weeks, one at 8 weeks and one at 11weeks 5 days.
ive been seen at Lister and Hertford.
Ive just seen the specialist called Dr Atalla.
Hes stated that all my blood work and ultrasound are all normal and clear.
Hes said I could try and get pregnant again and be under his specialist care having scans every 2 weeks. He said that I could try again with no meds, with Prednislone, with Clexane or both.
I don’t know why I have a choice of one or the other or both.
On the second miscarriage I took baby aspirin, he said not to do this.
Ive asked about progesterone, but he said I didn’t need this.
Im so confused about going forward.
Has anyone heard of taking both together? Or been under Dr Atallas care?
I see him again in a month to discuss what we would like to do, he said to do some research by the next appointment.
hope I can have some clarity and make the right decisions.
xx
