Recurrent Miscarriage Support thread 14 - tests, treatment, trying again

[Justonemoretime]

Information, support, hand holding, tea, sympathy and a hell of a lot of combined knowledge - all welcome as we try to make sense of the RMC roller coaster of tests, NHS admin, heart ache and (hopefully) happy endings!
Please start with a recap of your stats :)

Yay just! I am SO excited for you, I remember you being so nervous before you went off to Oz so I'm so pleased it's worked out! YEEHAH! This is the luckiest thread evah.

Brilliant news just, good luck bootles and cat for tomorrow

Just- hurray another milestone achieved

Bellende- I can highly recommend what I have named "workplace numpty therapy" dealing with idiots and taking frustrations out on them and hopefully getting something positive achieved!

just that's wonderful! So great to hear of all these good scans. keep 'em coming. Is that your "official" 12 week scan?

Thanks, yes, said to the consultant (they squeezed us in as their lists were packed) that I'd never seen one that big before 'Official' 12 week scan is next Tues afternoon. Crikey!

Another pompom dance for Just and Prof Brosens and Quenby!

Yay just!! So pleased for you.

Just that is GREAT! Hooray!

Some advice ladies. Just got the appointment through for my scan to check for uterine abnormalities and it's next week. However, I'm on a course next week in a different County and it would mean missing the last day of the course to go. I've been waiting ages for the course and need it for my job. Just rang to change the scan but they have nothing til the end of Jan. We are due to be trying again this month but if i don't take this scan and then I get a bfp before the next available scan date then they won't do the uterine scan.

So do i cancel the course and go to the scan or do I change the scan date to jan and either 'hope' I don't get a bfp this month (only that won't be what I'm hoping) or miss the scan completely? I'm vaguely thinking do I really need it, as I've had a successful pg before, but want to rule out everything i can

She cheerily said "we'll if you get pregnant then you won't need the scan will you as you'll just be getting your antenatal ones?". She obviously doesn't quite get the point of recurrent mc.
Any advice?

Mad rush back to work..think good news there just cant scroll back but see the comments..will catch up later..great that good news!

Had scan..good heartbeat seen, i worry its too small but Dr reassures me its really not..I am in total shock and no idea how to concentrate at work..

Brilliant news bootles. You can breathe again. Keep it coming other scan people

bootles that's super news! Fabbo!

Bootles another yay! All these heartbeats! So exciting xxx

Just that has made me cry! So pleased for you x

March I don't know what to advise! I know that urge to crack on only too well, so can't blame you for not really wanting to postpone till Jan...

Fabulous news! So pleased just. Good luck to bootles now! xx

That's great bootles so pleased it's all going well, you can breathe again. When's the next one?

Woo hoo bootles 3/3. I think we have cat up tomorrow, and me on Thursday. Feeling a bit teary now.

Bootles, yay for HB! I'm sure size/dates are fine. I've been alternately gaining and losing 3/4 days every scan so far and everyone seems happy... How many weeks are you now? xx

wooohooooo!

Bootles Yay!

March Personally, I would take the scan in January and maybe try to 'avoid' a BFP this month... I realise you are impatient, but in the grand scheme of things, what's another month, really? I think it's worth to wait, just for that extra peace of mind that they have ticked off that particular examination for the rmcs... Just my thoughts!

bootles great news
march do you have an agenda for the week, or could you contact the organisers to do the last day remotely or check the material and run questions by them so it still classed as completed? Not sure what you do so this might not be possible. If not, I would lean towards doing the course, I know it's another month but otherwise it's something else you've put on hold for the TTC....

Sorry, missed your update somehow bootles! Fantastic! So pleased all these pregnancies are going so well!

march fwiw I went ahead and ttc while waiting for my saline scan. The normal scan had showed a very slightly arcuate uterus but the dr said it was almost certainly fine and the saline one was just to be certain. Didn't really expect a bfp first cycle as had always taken me a lot longer but there we are. I would go for the course too but keep badgering hospital in case they have a cancellation. They will have lots because of pregnancies or unusual cycles I am sure.

Or I have found lately that my hospital's first response when I ask to move an appointment is to offer something ridiculously distant but if I really push they somehow find a sooner one.

Whoop! Great news on the feed again. Congratulations to you bootles and just!!!! So very pleased for you both.

belle I'm with you on the teary. Cried down the phone to my mum this morning and being in work is a real slog today. Let's hope the good luck stays with the thread and we both get happy scans this week. What time do you go on Thursday?

March if it were me I would go for scan over the course. You can always do the course next year. Health and baby trying comes first!

Hugs ladies xxxx

Thanks everyone. I've emailed to see if I can do the last day of the course the next time they run it and decided if my clotting comes back positive then that's more likely to be the cause, so hoping that will be back before Friday which might influence what i do. I might Also phone the appt woman again and see if there's anything else they can do at a different hospital (although she wasn't very helpful). I must seem like an impatient child but i feel really well and quite positive at the moment and i just don't want to wait !

Bootles YAY!
