Say goodbye to Flower29 and meet.... CheesyMash !!
Don't feel I can ever write a serious post with this nickname tho...

That's great bythesea I'm very chuffed for you.

Doh lost message but super news bythesea!

That's brilliant news bythesea!

Loving it cheesy or mash

And thanks for the hand holding ladies. Honestly don't know what I would do without you guys. x

Bythesea, great milestone news!
Sun, hand holding, hope you get a stronger +ive soon to put your mind at rest a bit.

Hello all, I see some familiar names on here -- I realise that I crash in occasionally and then vanish when I can't keep up.

But i wanted to share that we finally have a possible diagnosis. I had a hysteroscopy at St Marys on Monday and they found I had adhesions, not sure if it's officially ashermans or not, which would have caused future mcs so they've whipped them out, stuffed me full of coils and prescribed HRT for a month. Prof Quenby says it will still be ok for me to take the progesterone as well.

So after 3 years I now have hope and it's a strange feeling.

Thank you all for always answering my questions when I crash in and for being tolerant when I vanish!

Great news daisy. So nice to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful for the future. Popping in and out is fine! It's always nice to catch up with what is happening with everyone, glad that you popped in .

Good new name cheesy, so has to be your symbol. And now floweroct can just be known as flower. How are you doing floweroct? Are you on your ivf cycle this month?

daisy glad you have found a possible cause for your mcs and it is being treated. Hope this gives you confidence for next time and that your next pregnancy is 'the one'. X

Yay bythesea that's wonderful!!

Am pleased for you too Daisy my hystereoscopy is on 20th. Next cycle (fingers crossed ) I am ttc'ing!!

Hi Cheesy welcome!

I shot out of the docs surgery like nobody's business. DP has kidney stones so no going out for dinner with friends tonight. So am looking after him.

I think this is his way of foiling my plan to paint in Farrow & Ball - but he's taken care of me for a long time

Woohoo bythesea such great news!

sun hope all is well and the levels are just slow risers.

Oh brummie you couldn't have planned it!

cheesy great name change!

Waves to daisy I wondered if I might see you on here!

Yay two weeks holiday for me! And no work to do as I've got a student full time for five weeks. If I was ttc this would be a great time to try as I've never conceived when I've been at work (not literally obvs!). Still no af though. Now on day 29 which is late for me but I guess this first period might be weird? My early mcs just sorted themselves in the same cycle but I've heard the misopostril I had for the medical management might cock up my cycles for a while. Fab!

bythesea Yay!

daisy am glad you've posted as I've just been diagnosed with this and am waiting to hear when my hysteroscopy will be. Will they check you again when your treatment have finished? Have they said how they know if it's all been successful? Hoe you don't mind me asking!

Brilliant news bythesea

sun enjoy the holiday and I hope you feel more positive (or manage not to think about it at all - ha ha) while you're away.

Daisy good news on getting a treatable diagnosis!

brummie what an awful baby bomb. I had lunch today on a table with four other people all asking each other how many kids they had and swapping stories. No one even asked me, or actually spoke to me at all during the course of that whole conversation .

I've returned from two days away straight into a fucking in-law issue. NOT what I need right now .

Barking on your behalf. You clearly don't matter because you aren't a parent dontcha you know????

Cheesy just read back, hah interesting name change!!!!!

Freckle I'm always getting told off for being too opinionated! Problem is, I don't get opinionated enough when it really matters.

I am learning very quickly though that it was never written on anyone's headstone that they enjoyed having shit people in their lives.

It is very true, you find support in a times of real distress in places you never thought you would. And rarely in places you definitely

Quick question... Should I be using the progesterone 12 hours apart or can I just use it when I get up and go to bed? thanks

mrsd I was told 12 hours apart, I have an alarm on my phone. I try not to panic if I'm a couple of hours bit out now and again though....

brummie wise words .

Hi all,

I'm home from the hospital and it all went fine. I had a few hours to wait for the theatre but once in the procedure went OK and recovery from the general anaesthetic was OK. Bleeding is pretty light now. I was there from 7 to 7 plus an hours journey either side so I'm bushed.

There's some good news. I kind of sneaked into the care at Brizzle through being on this TABLET clinical trial and now they are referring me to their RMC with Prof Cahill (the all spoke v highly of him) to discuss my cytogenetic results. This is super news as I had been getting nowhere at my local hospital with the RMC referral (postponed and then postponed again etc). Also this will be the first cytogenetics we've had. Also, Prof Cahill must be clued up on the tablet trial and able to review my notes and advise on where to go from here (eg should I ask my GP to just go ahead and prescribe the trial protocol with regular checks, yes I hope). Incidentally the trial nurse popped in to see me and give me cuddles.

I'm still feeling OK. Somewhere the pain and tears are lurking but I won't look for them now. Sleep time.

Thanks a million for your wonderful posts. Yes, my mum took care of me today. DH was on hand with cuddles and listening when i got home. And I had all of your lovely thoughts.

bythesea ace work. You broke through. It's fabulous news.have a wonderful time sharing your good news with the RL people!

Xx to all and thanks again, angels.

Counting big hugs and lots of love. We will be here when the pain finally surfaces - just as you have been for us. We are in this together xx

Counting- glad to hear you're ok and being looked after. We're here if you want a rant or a distraction x

Bythesea- big fab news

Cheesy- love the name change

Brummie & barking ?? on your behalf

counting I hope you get the opportunity to rest and take care.

I'm relieved you survived your day relatively well so to speak counting and great news about the referral. I wish you didn't need one, it sucks that you do, but it sounds promising nonetheless. Take care my lovely x

Glad it went ok counting and that you've had a positive step with the other hospital. Rest up and as the others have said, we're here for you x

Glad you're home and being looked after counting big hugs here too. We're all here to listen whenever you need us xx

counting - really glad it all went well today. Big hugs to you. x

So the 'good' news is I won't have to worry about something going wrong with the pregnancy on holiday. Bleeding started in earnest this afternoon. Am only 5+3 so hoping it's just going to be like a heavy period for a few days. So mc #4 (or 5 if include chemical). Feeling pretty lost and hopeless that this will ever work out.
