Recurrent miscarriage support - tests, treatment, trying again - thread 8

Welcome everyone, pull up a chair! A thread for anyone who has suffered multiple miscarriages and is in need of company, information, moral support, tea or sympathy.

Can I suggest we start page 1 with a recap of where we are all up to, because my fuddled head can't keep track?

Best of luck Butterfly.

Last day of work pre-Xmas for me. POAS - no OV yet but that very pale line suggesting day after tomorrow will be a proper line, which means I don't have to rush home and BD tonight instead of drinking the free cheap wine the bosses give us on principal cuz it's free. As DH said "Getting it on TWICE in a weekend and wine? Gosh it must be Christmas!!" Xmas Wink

Squiz lucky DH! Xmas Grin

Go Squiz!

I got to work today and everyone is off sick with V+D. It's been a nightmare. I'm wearing gloves and squirting anti-bac stuff like a mad woman thinking I really can't afford to be ill, I have the baby and my other kids to think about. Sad I'm probably going to have to work tomorrow as there is nobody left standing to do it, which will mean I'm working all three weekends of the Christmas rota. Boo!

Great news butterfly. Happy Christmas!

butterfly86 · 20/12/2013 22:56

Thanks ladies :) it's amazing how much detail you can see even so early on, had the nuchal screening aswell so will be waiting for the results of that, I feel like the sonographer tried to put me off having it she said im low risk because of my age but I know I would drive myself crazy if I didn't have it just hope I'm low risk.

Hello I'm having a bad day today. I've been very sick this week; doctor confirmed hyperemesis and medicine was issued. I cracked and took one yesterday as I felt so awful (I've lost 4lbs in less than a week) and the medicine worked! It was great (ondasetron for reference). Anyway. I felt better for at least 18hours which was great and although I've vomited today, the nausea, smell aversion etc is all less today - DP has commented on it so its not in my head Sad I'm asking on the hyperemesis thread whether anyone has found the ondasetron has disrupted symptoms for so long but I am really worried. No one likes symptoms disappearing do they?

Hope everyone is far more prepared for Christmas than I am!

Purplefrogshoe · 21/12/2013 20:18

sorry you have been so ill worry, its good the medication has worked but i know the anxiety when symptoms lessen Brew

Iworrymyselftosleep · 22/12/2013 07:34

Morning. I find this unbelievable but I really in all honestly think I've had a mc. I'm going to contact the epau today. I have woken every morning with vomiting for a week but its stopped as has the nausea. Now, only two days ago I felt so awful that I broke and took anti sickness meds and it's not been right since. I'm not bonkers here. I just think its ended and horrifically, it seems to have coincided with taking the medicine.

I'll let you know. I did call them last night but was passed from three different people. The first two were lovely. The third was awful. So bad that I went from tearful to snarling as she just was refusing to listen - "oh ya ya ya ondasetron. Take every eight hours.... Ya ya ya it stops you being sick you know"

I know this seems like hysteria after all my worrying but I'm not throwing up, or nauseated when I was so sick earlier this week. Surely on this board we all know what that can and often does mean?

Hang in there worry hope EPU can offer some reassurance. Flowers

Morning all, looks like AF has arrived at what I estimate to be 13dpo. Actually feeling rather relieved as I can relax and enjoy Christmas now. Will see how it goes and if its not 'normal' I will test just to be sure nothing is going on, (previous pgs have begun with weird spotting). Let me know if you want me to raise a glass on your behalf? Cheers! Wink Wink

Hope everyone else is bearing up?

Justonemoretime · 22/12/2013 09:26

Worry, Sorry I didn't see your previous post on my phone. I'm sure your change in symptoms is the result of the medication working, at least I hope it is. Hope you can get some peace of mind.

tannyLoo · 22/12/2013 09:37

((hugs)) worry. It is horrible to be so anxious and not feel heard. It could well be just the medication working well, but symptoms are sometimes the only reassurance we have that everything is ok. I hope you get some good news. Thanks

Iworrymyselftosleep · 22/12/2013 09:48

Thanks ladies. I'm waiting for epau to call back. Despite assurances from my rm consultant and the midwife who I saw in the week, they won't agree to see me so the doctor on call for the ward will call back at some point .

Justonemoretime · 22/12/2013 09:50

Where are you, Worry? Is there a hospital with a walk in EPU? UCLH in Euston has one open from 9am weekdays.

Purplefrogshoe · 22/12/2013 10:29

I hope you get seen worry and get reassurance

butterfly86 · 22/12/2013 11:57

Worry sorry you feel so anxious I really hope it's the medication working, I feel a little like that I've been vomiting about 3 times a day then yesterday not at all but I did feel a little bit sick and just feel sick today I suppose the difference is I'm 12 weeks so it may be easing up anyway whereas you are bound to worry hopefully the meds are just doing their job and everything is fine keeping everything crossed.

DownstairsMixUp · 22/12/2013 16:07

worry it really could be the meds just working? I know how anxious you must be feeling, just keep pestering the epau and let us know when you hear from them. Really hope things are all ok for you. try and put your feet up and read a nice book or something to take your mind off things Thanks

justonemoretime Ah well, the positive side, you can have alcohol guilt free over the xmas period now! I think i'll be joining you to! I'm i think 6dpo or 7 and getting usual signs that AF is well on her way, usually if i'm pg by this point i'll be having some signs like an implantation bleed or extreme tiredness so i think i'm also out this month. Again, a little meh like you but pleased i can enjoy christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL! xxx
