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'.

Purple that's awesome news :). Really chuffed for you. Hurray!

tiny purple fantastc news. You must both be so relieved. 16weeks and no heartbeat! I would be getting them to march me straight to the mri scanner until I flippin well saw it.
just re read the posts from the other day it all still applies.this is the time to keep the faith.
cloud it is so hard to know what to do for the best. Right now I am convinced this will be our last shot. If this doesn't work then I think it will be adoption for me. This had dominated the last three years of our lives. It jas been utter shit. I desperately want to move forward positively and if that means adoption so be it. I think I would prefer to take that really positive step than risk staying on this rollercoaster indefinitely and ending up empty handed and just empty. We all have different considerations and only you can know what is right for you.

Purple &Tiny- Big smiles & hugs from me. Spent the whole day is meetings so couldn't check in, so really please for you.

Cloud-big hugs and sympathy. My DH asked why she didn't have a new baby like all her friends at nursery this morning. ?? Made my heart break in a second but it makes me even more determined. Going to chase my referral this week to make sure it's into the system, only way to keep focused x

Just- sorry forgot to say, hang in there and fingers crossed tomorrow brings good news x

Good luck for tomorrow Just. Sending positive vibes.

Just really hope it goes well tomorrow. Got everything crossed for you. xxxx

Good luck for tomorrow just hoping for a sac, and maybe a tiny bean, all in the right place and nicely burrowed in.

Good luck Just. What time are you going?

Thanks Ladies. Lets do this. See you on the other side. x

appointment is at 08:45.

Good luck just!

Good luck just

cloud hugs

I had one counselling session through my work but only one as I just couldn't bring myself to open up and talk it just made me feel stressed.

Waves to everyone

Thinking of you, just Hope it all goes well!

I keep checking for news.

if it's anything like my hospital won't have good reception...

So, milestone #1 reached . Scan shows all normal, 5 weeks ish matching dates, no obvious cause for spotting so probably cervix. Just waiting for my heparin prescription now. I cried during the scan... too stressful and emotional!!! Thanks for all the support and hand holding. xx

So so so so happy for you!

That's such amazing, amazing news Just. I'm chuffed to bits for you - what a relief - I bet you feel ten times lighter!

yay just

now embrace the bruises!!

Just - amazing news!! You can now hopefully relax until next milestone in a few weeks

Brilliant news just. Big sighs of relief all round. Here's to lots more positive news. This board is proving lucky!

Thanks ladies, the first hurdle.... I can relax a bit today :)
Got my jabs (after some faffing between the nurses and the pharmacy about who would give me the sharps bin and who would show me how to inject, and me having to find an email on my phone - which involved standing in the car park to get signal - to show that Profs Quenby and Brosens really did say I could have it...). As always, the people are great and I love the good ol' NHS, but the procedures are bonkers!!

Ha! Wait until you try to give it back! Took me ages to get someone to agree to take my full one off my hands....

Great news on here since I last lurked - v pleased for you just.

Thought I would update you all on where I have go to in my investigations in to the three miscarriages I have had in the past 12 or so months in case anyone else is lurking behind the scenes too.

I have now seen Dr Hamilton at Guys as well as Professor Regan at St Marys. Dr Hamilton gave me the results on the genetic testing on the last miscarriage (was an MVA, the first two were natural and unable to retain them for testing). The genetics testing showed trisomy 5 so nothing we could have done about it, which did at least make me feel better about the long haul travel I did for work when I was 5 - 8 weeks. Dr H said she has no reason to think we would not get pregnant in time and that as soon as I get a BFP I should contact the team at Tommy's and go for the 5 week scan. She also prescribed me with progesterone to take as soon as I get the positive. Fingers crossed.

I had a hysteroscopy with Prof Regan yesterday and she found a partial septum which she duly removed and fitted two coils to keep the uterine wall apart. Eugh. She has put me on HRT (premarin and then norethisterone) for the month and I go back to her at the end of the month for her to go through the blood results and have the coils removed.

On elephant-sized pain killers at the moment and feeling pretty sore but much better as I think I am now getting somewhere closer to having a baby.

Good luck to everyone on here.

Fab news just

barrelita glad you are getting somewhere. Take it easy while you recover. Hopefully by your next appointment you'll have all your results and the all clear to TTC again.
