Recurrent Miscarriage Support Thread 18 - tests, treatment, trying again.

[bakingtins]

Buckle up, the threads move like lightening! Tea, sympathy, information, support and combined wisdom to guide you through the maze of testing and treatment for recurrent miscarriage. Newbies always most welcome.

Please start with the traditional recap of your stats.

Oh, and very shitty results on coagultion blood measures too. I've always had nightmare periods plus bruise like a peach but it never crossed my mind could be any connection yet, of course, it transpires there is/was.

HTH?

OK, so I think we might be at early amber alert! Acupuncture seems to have got things going and I'm a bit ouchy. Sorry, I had loads of things I was going to say in reply to posts, but I'm a bit all over the place. Of course it could all be a false alarm, so don't get too excited...

Oooh Tanny! How exciting! Everything crossed it all goes straightforwardly for you and baby!

Can we sing "we are waiting"?

So exciting!!! x

viv thank you for your post and congratulations on your dcs. I hope you get treatment for your issues. Can I ask about the coagulation result? I got a teg result that shows my blood clots less than average. I did a bit of googling and read that this can cause implantation issues or flood the embryo with blood but all the consultants at st Mary's denoed this and said low clotting was a good thing. Did you learn differently? It's hopefully irrelevant now (I am 26 weeks bootles) but somebody else on the thread had the same result.

little there is some sort of system gps use that lets you choose hospitals anywhere in the country and shows the actual appointments to choose from. I can't remember what it's called and not all nhs trusts are signed up to it but will look it up and get back to you.

Sorry, can't scroll back but to whoever has the lupus, I am glad you have got a prescription. I would overall take heart from a diagnosis. Some of the women on the pg after mc thread have clotting disorders including some who have given birth to healthy dcs now. Maybe pop over there for some advice?

Big whoops Tanny, will keep checking in x

tanny exciting!!! Good luck

Tanny - exciting stuff! Will be hitting refresh over night.

Viv - thank you for sharing your story. Congrats on your family and hoping you get good care for your physical health probs.

Ooh crossed with a very exciting post! Good luck tanny!xx

little google nhs choose and book.

Good luck tanny ! V exciting!

God luck tanny!!!

• good, not god! That's not really me!

Hi girls, I'm ok, thank you for the kind thoughts . Today went well. Lots of waiting around which was the less good part, having been told I should be out by noon I eventually left the hospital at 5.30pm! My partner was frantic and was ringing the ward and they were being evasive so of course he started to genuinely think something had gone wrong.

Anyway I skipped out of there like a weight had been lifted,and somehow my sex drive has returned into the bargain!!! I haven't touched my partner since the BFP and yet this evening I was draped all over him wanting to kiss and cuddle. It's do funny, I feel like me again

Mum is coming up tomorrow as partner has to go to Europe for the night. I feel absolutely gone though, bleeding like a heavy period, no pain, I'm over the moon. Onwards and upwards.

Good luck tanny, we are all rooting for you darling xxxx

*absolutely fine though

You sound like a different person, Sebs, so pleased it went ok. Fingers crossed you make a quick physical recovery.

Come on Tanny!!! I'm off to bed now, fully expecting to wake up to a birth announcement Don't let me down .

Funny how I'm dreading my mate's announcement but I genuinely can't wait for tanny's!

Glad it went smoothly Seb and that you are feeling better.

Meant to say thanks to all those who understood my ravings about us all being lumped together. Feeling validated - thank you. Also thanks for calculating those odds Longest - hard to swallow and does seem so unlikely but on the other hand I guess the whole point of odds is that someone is the 'one in...'. Didn't win euro millions though.

Little mine was through choose & book, GP asked me where I preferred and when it came up I had the choice of the 3 closest to the one I'd chosen.

Viv thanks for sharing that is really interesting. I've been taking the usual conception supplements and also additional Vit D and have found that a completely separate issue of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, has greatly reduced. I can actually walk relatively pain free for first time in a long long time. So I'm really wondering if I have a deficiency in Vit D.

Getting very excited for you here Tanny! Have everything crossed it all goes well. Good luck!

Sebs hope it went as well as it could today. Thinking of you.

To be honest the pregnancy had really changed me generally. I was like a different person. Now I'm back to me again if that makes sense and it feels lovely. It's like I've shrugged off a horrible dark cloak.

I know the next few months will be tough and we are going to investigate IVF abroad. Give me something to do lol. I think there is an option where they can test your eggs before they use them to make sure they aren't faulty.

I'm so pleased you're doing well sebs

So exciting tanny!

Thanks for sharing your story viv I love hearing positive post miscarriage stories.

Today I had to go for a leaving lunch for a colleague who announced her pregnancy a couple of months after my last miscarriage. Her bump is massive. And in the cafe we were in, about two tables behind us, directly in my line of sight, was a woman with a baby about the same age as my first would have been. You've got to feel the universe is really having a laugh sometimes. It just really brought it home just how long it's been since the last MC. It's so hard seeing someone get (with ease) what you desperately want. Sad tonight.

Come on tanny!

Crossed post, glad it went well Sebs. You do sound so much more positive.

That sounds like a really tough evening Monten. Hugs.

No developments yet, so really hoping I haven't got you all excited for nowt...

Sebs sweetie, I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear you sounding so much better x

Errrm I have just shagged OH lol. With a condom so don't worry but OMG my horn just went mental and I couldn't leave him alone. I am a freak but fucking hell after 4 months abstinence I am calm again.

Hello - sorry not be around much last couple of days. Had head down waiting for af to make its appearance which it did today so month 1 ttc done for the 4th (5th if count cp) time in 13 months. So tired of this now.

Anyway new cycle, new hope and all that.

tanny - very exciting news that things may be kicking off! Will be checking in regularly for updates!

sebs - glad today went as well as these things can.

Hugs monten - what a tough day. It is so hard seeing others due when we should have been. The due date for my second mc is 28th feb - the same day that my cousins wife is due. Dreading their announcement.

Hugs to everyone else - sorry can't name check all but really need some sleep!

X

Glad all went well seb

Hello to the newbies, so sorry to hear of your losses

Hope baby tanny doesn't keep you waiting too long tanny

Hugs monten

My colleague who had two stillbirths came but to work Monday and even though I had asked them not to they sat her right next to me she burst into tears and soon as she saw me I demanded they move her somewhere else for her sake as well as mine but I'm so angry they didn't listen when I told them not to sit her next to the only pregnant woman in the office, it must have been awful for her.

I'm sorry I can't remember who posted but I was referred to a counsellor though my employee assistance program after my 2nd mc, I only went once as I just found it too difficult so I think the person you spoke to was just being a bitch

to everyone I've missed! thread moves so fast it's difficult to keep up
