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

[Bakingtins]

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?

I will be monitored until March Baking, tigs I insisted that my DH didn't tell his family about our most recent as I felt suffocated by his family with my first two mc, I just wanted to be left alone and they insisted on talking about it regardless who was present even in front of my DC but my husband has many friends he can talk to as I think you definitely need to be able to talk to someone

Hi everyone sorry I can't name check I'm on my phone and at work.

Welcome to all the new ladies!

Im still paranoid about symptoms etc when did morning sickness start for any of you? I"m 6+4 and monday I felt. sick all day, yesterday and today it's been on and off feel sick on a morning then it eases a bit and comes back in the evening. Im also having lots of back ache not cramps actual back muscular type pain? I've got a scan on friday which Im terrified about. Sorry for the selfish post. just can't help over analysing everything!

Butterfly I've had no sickness at all this time, but have been pretty nauseous in pregnancies that have ended badly. It doesn't mean much. My back has been sore too, think it is muscles and ligaments relaxing and everything rearranging itself.
Good luck for Friday, FX for a nice HB.

Best of luck Butterfly, hope all goes well for scan on Friday. Sorry you are feeling so icky!

My DH is obsessed with telling everyone (well, close f&f) so no one puts their foot in it and if anyone has lost a pg they know we'll be understanding. Sometimes it's a bit TMI - he's quite factual and upbeat (ie there are tests and RMC is rare) but sometimes... "No darling don't talk about the vaginal scan at St Mary's. Especially not when Lisa's just ordered the cannelloni."

Butterfly hope all goes well. I think sickness varies wildly person to person so try not to worry!

Baking hope the back isn't too bad.

Saw this on most active... and hope I'm ok to wish you ladies well... I'm a mum after recurrent miscarriage, tests all normal, no treatment.. just worked out last time :)

Thinking of all you ladies going through this, glad you have each other x

Thanks Sticky, stories of hope are always lovely to hear. Glad you got your rainbow in the end!

Thank you so much everyone for your good wishes!

Butterfly I also just wanted to say to you that I had exactly the same stresses about morning sickness. Mine definitely came and went and often just as I started to assume the worst it would be back again with a vengeance. I know its so hard but try not to read too much into symptoms. I had loads of nausea with my 2nd mc and wasnt sick once with DD. however I know that early on in this pregnancy I definitely didn't take my own advice!!! Keeping everything crossed for you. I actually think early pregnancy after rmc is worse than not being pregnant!

Thanks Baking, Lb & Squiz :)
I don't know why I'm thinking about it so much I've had ms in 3 out 4 mc pregnancies so I know it prob means nothing I think I'm just looking for reassurance :/ Im paranoid about every little niggle too.

Baking do you have another scan this week?

Squiz my dh is the same tells a lot of people, at first I was very private and didn't want to tell anybody but I think in a way it's kind of therapeutic to talk about it and it's surprising how many people it's happened to even just in a group of people you know (sadly).

Sausage that's lovely glad you got there in the end we need stories like that to give us hope and keep us going :)

Nice to hear there's good new stories out there sausage.

Squiz, I am cracking up about the cannelloni. I have had to explain to my own mother what an intravaginal scan was. She is Old Skool and I never in a million years thought we'd have the conversations we have had across the past year.

Baking, I forgot to ask: why has the doc put you on a DTD restriction? It may be a daft question (who am I kidding I know it is) but just curious if it's precautionary or if there is a specific medical reason why it would not be safe in your early pregnancy.

I think it's precautionary really. There was a sub chorionic haematoma seen on my 8 wk scan and he was concerned it might worsen (though seemed to have resolved last week) Also as I'm on heparin I'd be prone to bleeding, and progesterone pessaries can irritate the cervix, do I suppose it lessens the likelihood of post sex spotting which would freak me right out.
Scan today. Have the impending doom feeling again!

Good luck for today baking fingers crossed for you as alwaysx

hang in there butterfly the anxiety is awful. good luck baking! im currently sat at occupational health with my very pregnant colleague who has been complaining about every pregnancy ailment, poor soul does have spd so im trying to be nice. hi to everyone else

All ok at 10 week scan

Great news baking :)

Wonderful news, Baking!
Hang in there Butterfly!
Purple, hope you're OK. Its not very easy, is it, when things like that happen.
Feeling rather pent-up and emotional today - no reason, think its the HRT... its like permanent PMS. Better have some

Fab news Baking!

Baking woop woop!

Boo yaaaaaaaaaah that is great Baking! Hurrah

Yaay baking great news, did you see lo moving about? So exciting.

for you justone, great news baking

Just sorry you've had a bad day :( permanent pms must be crap I think my dh would move out! Thankfully it shouldn't be for too long for you

I've had bad nausea all day today I could actually go and throw up trying to decide wether to just go and do it or try to ignore it, currently trying to pluck up the courage to take my pregnacare horse tablets

Hope the sickness is better today, butterfly

LO was so wriggly that the doctor couldn't get a measurement yesterday, but saw a good strong HB and I could see was more developed than last week. I saw one of the junior staff again because someone was off sick so they were stretched. Apparently they had cancelled a lot of the appointments, so glad they didn't cancel mine or I would have been massively anxious until they could fit me in. Now I can relax for a few days until pre-scan anxiety builds back up for 12 weeks.

Thanks for the good vibes and :) I just know I'm being a bit grumpy but hopefully it will be short lived! Btw I still have a painful lump (just under 1cm) on my wrist where cannula went in now over 2 weeks ago. I know a valve was damaged (I have reluctant veins) but I would have thought it would heal by now? Another thing to worry about. Waves to all (on my phone, diff to name check) but v excited to learn of such a thing as a moving baby!!!! Hope is good :)

I'm just dry heaving a lot Baking I don't know wether a bit of it is scan nerves this morning though. Im feeling anxious we have never had a good scan I can't help thinking why would it be any different this time.

It must have been lovely to see lo wriggling around :) 10 weeks is a massive milestone not too long until 12 weeks. What
