Recurrent Miscarriage Support - tests, treatment, trying again - thread 12

[bakingtins]

Welcome everyone! A thread for anyone who has suffered recurrent losses and is in need of support, information, moral support or tea and sympathy. Newbies very welcome.

Please can we start (as is traditional) with a recap of where we are on 'the journey'.

tanny

Tabby- that's excellent. Soon you're start feeling movement, which I found was more reassuring and helped to take away the worry x

Tanny Glad it went well. Hope you can start to relax and enjoy soon. x

Hello everyone. I am in oz! The flight wasn't as bad as I expected, though I have been having stomach pain which has been stressing me out. No bleeding yet though and have been having low blood sugar incidents and sore blobs so fingers crossed still pg.

Good to hear your news, Tanny. Sorry to see some new faces. Bob's I am interested in your clotting results. I had the same test results as you and got the same answers from Dr Google but st Mary's were really unconcerned and said breaking down clots quickly was a good thing. To be fair my results weren't that far out of the normal range but outside nevertheless. I wasn't wholly convinced so if you learn anything at your follow up appointment I would be interested to hear. I also think I have hormonal issues - high lh and low progesterone but fell pregnant the month I was due to be tested. Really early days though so shitting myself.

Well I'm off to Nice for the weekend. All great but AF seems to have arrived - weird as I only ovulated a couple of days ago! Not sure what my body is playing at... Great for a beach holiday

Hope you all have good weekends.

Have a good weekend everyone. Amazingly DD is still sleeping but I woke at 7am...

lurker today you are pregnant

Have a fab time Bristolian & Longest- well jel x

Longest- remember stomach cramps can be a sign of implantation, so try not to worry and enjoy your trip x

Congrats tanny! Ur nearly in 3rd tri!

Tanny so glad you found a sympathetic mW. Great to hear your positive update, oh and well done on the job!

longest hang in there, and I agree with others that cramping can definitely be normal (I know you know this). Hope flight was ok with DD, and that you enjoy your holiday

As I didn't get a reply from Coventry I think I will start doing the cyclogest just once a day when I get to 12 and maybe even do clexane every two days from today.

My tummy is a bit red and itchy... But then again yesterday walked from Hampstead to Highgate and got at least 3 insect bites on my legs so not sure if the red itchyness is related...

Tiny, I'm speaking to them on Tuesday, I can ask generally how/when they recommend stopping the meds if you like? x

Only if you have time. You have your own worries
(Thanks)

Well, I'll be on the progesterone and claxane if I ever manage to get pg, so it will be relevant to me too. I'll try and get an answer for both of us

Great thanks!!

I never thought i would get this far, so never thought to ask...

tiny I was told by both Coventry and the local consultant just to stop dead at 12 weeks with clexane and progesterone. I chose to wean down to one progesterone for a few days between 12-13 weeks as it just. Felt a bit less scary. Your placenta should have taken over from the corpus luteum by week 10 so sure it is fine to just stop, it just feels a bit nerve wracking!

Tiny, bless! x

Thanks... By dates I will be 12w on Thursday so will start weaning it down... Ended up doing the clexane on the top of the thigh today as my tummy was a bit itchy

Tiny - Hope you manage to get a clear picture of what you should be doing soon. Yay on being so close to 12 weeks!

Tanny - great news - hang on in there.

Welcome to newbies and sorry for your losses and rubbish journeys.

Hi to everyone else. Apologies for not being more helpful/supportive today but am really fed up and fear I would be overly negative if I got started!

I'm really grumpy today. Too many social events with children/people talking about their children this weekend. Really weary with pretending I'm ok all the time when I actually feel awful. Just typed and deleted a full on rant - know I'd feel embarrassed about it in the morning - suffice to say I'm angry and upset! Role on next week - coil removed, blood test results, plan and (hopefully) being told to go forth and multiply. I think I'll feel better once am TTC again and can obsess over ovulation tests, TWW symptoms and the like.

Yay Tiny. So excited for you.

Sorry you're feeling rubbish, twilight. Hope you feel better next week. Must feel like you are very much in limbo. Feeling a bit better today as cramping has gone and boobs are really quite sore! Just a bit of an ache like ovulation pain that's still a bit weird but no more than a niggle. Oh and MIL went into Sydney overnight and dd went to bed at a normal time so we got a bit of peace, phew. In fact she is still asleep at 9:30-woo! Very sunny today. We are off to an animal park with dd. Last day here tomorrow. Moving on to armidale on weds. Spending my birthday in the car - yeay! X

Yay tiny and tanny - so many milestones!!

Longest - sore boobs are a great sign always, I would always keep prodding them to make sure i was pg or not.

I was quiet for a while and the thread just dropped off!!

Like twilight - I am waiting to start TTC again but I haven't even had my first AF since erpc (6.5 wks ago). Also my karyotyping blood test offered by NHS is for end of October. So basically I can't really TTC until then and time is going very slowly.

DS birthday party coming up soon. Suggestions please whether I should go for popcorn, hula hoops or Pom bears?

Just, cloud how are you?

Hope everyone enjoyed the sunny day yesterday!

twilight sorry you've had a tough weekend. as you say, roll on next week and a new phase!

longest I'm so jealous of your amazing trip! I climbed the harbour bridge in Sydney many many moons ago and had an amazing holiday there. Good to hear the boobs are nice and sore....

triple I always advocate waiting for test results, but are you aware karyotyping results are likely to be 6-8 weeks? It's also pretty unusual that they bring up something that is going to affect TTC (as in they're not treatable)

Back to work today after the last mc. Not looking forward to it as have put on a shed loads of weight after eating lots of weight and look 3 months pregnant Back on healthy eating next week, me thinks.

Triple-Pom bears every time!

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning,
Thank you all for your welcome. Feeling a bit more human today after a nice weekend away from everything in the Forest of Dean, think no phone signal was what I needed!
girlie good luck today at work. I am also back but it's easier for me as I work from home so no colleague pressure.
Tanny thanks for pointing me over here and great news your midwife app was ok.
[waves] to all others, hope your Mondays are ok

triple in same boat as you if waiting the 8 weeks to have tests but maybe the enforced break us healthy for our brains?!
P.s I am a hulahoop fiend so for me hoops every time
