Recurrent Miscarriage Support Thread 23 - tests, treatment, trying again.

[bythesea82]

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.

I've had a read back but my brain is fried so I'll just say that I hope testing, DTD ing, recovering and reflecting for those with due dates is bringing you a step closer to where you want or need to be. Hugs and hand holding to you all.

MiniJust is doing much better now, and hopefully will come off the ventilator later. He's looking a lot brighter today. Still a way to go, but I feel a bit happier. Still don't want to jinx things, but I'm feeling better than I was last night.

brummie - am so with you. if we ever get one, I am done. Just can't keep going through this month after month. But I am increasingly thinking that we will not even get to one - maybe it's just not meant to happen for us. If I loose this current pg too (which I am pretty certain will happen as zero symptoms at 6 weeks), then I don't know if that will be it for us. 5 mcs in 14 months might just be enough for me. X

Thanks Cloud and Loopy

Interesting Cloud what you say about the progesterone - nothing is tmi on here!! I'm still agonising over front or back for my progesterone. Which actually glad I'm doing it over weekend to begin with so if one way doesn't work - I can get myself sorted before flying to Germany for an event.

It was this time last year I found out I was pregnant for first time. Went to event, following week (the one I'm at next week), flew home and promptly miscarried next day at 5 weeks.

Sad memories

just - so pleased that mini seems stronger today. x

just that sounds very positive. Honestly my heart goes out to you, and I hope you will be settled down with ds in your arms very soon. Fingers crossed for this afternoon x

longest mat leave, woo hoo! As you well know, you need to enjoy this time.Have you anything planned for yourself in this brief window of dd in nursery and the baby still baking?

bubbly sorry to hear you have fibroids to think about too. Defo get a good talk in to a consultant.

freckle, march, sorry for the bfn's too. freckle I am bootles, then there is boozle80 who is Pg. Have been meaning to say for ages that your posts really make me laugh, apart from when they are sad/frustrated ones. Hope you get current frustrations sorted.

sasha glad u had a gd appointment.

brummie, you have covered it for this cycle. Tell yourself that even if it isn't this cycle, you are likely to get pg soon, judging from your history. I know its horribly hard, but it will happen. Totally agree about a couple of glasses of wine. It will happen.

Bound to have missed s.one out. Did I say welcome to patience? Welcome.

Glad to hear miniJust is getting stronger and is brighter today just, hope he can come off the ventilator today.

loopy my ewcm tapers off over the next couple of days after ov. What your describing sounds similar to what happened to me this month, I had all symptoms of gearing up for ov but no pos opk, they disappeared and reappeared a week later with a pos opk.

brummie I was going to suggest massages and 'toys' as well fancy underwear!

Sun symptoms come and go and Im keeping hope on this one for you! In the six years its taken me to get a sticky bean I have on many occasions given up, only to realise I wanted it too badly to let go. Statistically you are more likely to have a baby one day than not so please keep fighting if you can. You will get there.

Just, Im glad to hear minijust is doing better and that youre feeling brighter today. Hope hes off the ventilator and in your loving arms very soon.

Brummie and Loopy my DH had a period of having the same problem so we started doing it really regularly and I never told him when I was ovulating. It seemed to do the trick as men arent good at keeping track and it took the pressure off him. Made our love life much stronger too.

Hugs to you bubbles, youre being so brave . Someone I know suffered two miscarriages and had problems with ttc but went on to have two children after having her fibroids removed. I would say it's certainly worth speaking to your consultant about yours.

Really pleased Just! Please keep us posted. You are both in my thoughts.

Bootles I had hoped for a swim in the outdoor pool and a read in the garden but it's chucking it down so have done shopping and cleaning instead, boo. Fx for tomorrow!

thanks cloud jumper for your comments. it be just good to know as no one has really told me whether it is normal for them to grow etc. they have increased in volume from last year from 24 to 60 cm3. i think the size they put is 50 by 50 by 40 something. I'm 35 this year.

So - super symptom spotting time...

Had a bit of pink on wiping and I am exhausted. Feel like I can barely put 1 foot in front of other. Still quite er bloated and gassy as well plus a bit crampy. Attractive!!!

CM is also thick as well.

Am 5dpo and this is now making be wonder...

Got acupuncture booked for tomorrow night specifically for possible implantation.

Good think I'm away next week otherwise I would drive myself crazy wanting to test!!!

brummiegirl how do you find the acupunctre

Minijust is off the ventilator for the past hour and doing well. He's got the nose tubes in. They've just done the heal prick test, which was good for o2 levels. I should be able to hold him later if his next heal prick test is still good.

Sorry I am marking my place so late in the day!

Purple and Just Many MANY congratulations on the birth of your baby boys. Such lovely news! Just, hope you are doing ok - what a trauma you've been through, no wonder you have been feeling wobbly.

Patience Welcome, but I'm very sorry you find yourself here.

Bubbly I'm so sorry to hear about your latest loss. Glad you have got a holiday booked, you deserve it.

Cheesy, Jady and March 'good' news about your uNK diagnosis. At least you can take some practical steps now and hopefully have a precious baby in your arms soon.

Mrs D and March I'm so sorry you have due dates coming up. If you are not pregnant by then March I suggest having a day off when you do loads of lovely things for yourself, that you couldn't do if you were pregnant. When I had my ectopic due date, I used a hot tub and ate brie and drank wine. Of course nothing makes it any better really, but I did enjoy looking after myself.

Sascha Glad you had a positive app at the Lister.

Brummie that could be implantation bleeding, I had pink with my DS!

Waves to everyone else

AFM, I got a BFP 3 days ago and another one today (13 DPO) I'm amazed as I had a chemical pregnancy last month and I've never been pregnant two months in a row - it normally takes me 8-12 months to get pregnant. I'm frantically knicker checking and symptom spotting. I've got constipation and heartburn/wind which I had with my DS so hopefully hormones are doing what they should at the moment. I'm so anxious, I need to try to relax a bit. Just sooooo scared it will all go wrong again. x

Just that is great news!! Yay to mini just cuddles and snuggles

Purple hope you and little John are ok.

Bubbly I swear by acupuncture - I think it's the best thing ever. I started having it after mc number 3. Lots of ladies on this thread have it and swear by it.

Plus lots recurrent miscarriage consultants recommend it. Defo worth looking at

brummiegirl15 i will deco look at it, has anyone had success after 3 m/c?

Absolutely! Tanny had Bertie back in March after 5 mcs.

Baking had Faith last May after 4 mc's.

Just and Longest have had 3 mc's each.

Our thread babies keep us going and give us inspiration that it can be done.

Omg wadsy, that's amazing news. Congratulations! So great. Hoping it's the start of another run on bfps

I would also recommend acupuncture bubbly. Reduced my bbt (which was too high) and decreased my cycle from 32-38 days down to 30. Just feel a lot calmer too and it's like a little therapy session as she listens to my crazies. I go to a community clinic where the appointments are a little shorter and she treats 2 people at once (in different rooms), but it's a lot cheaper, so i can afford to go every week

Congrats on your BFP Wadsy, sounds positive so far!!! I heard you can actually be more selective and more fertile after an early mc so it's good. Will keep everything crossed for you

marchgirl Brummiegirl15 how do you know if one is any good ?
any recommendations in the london area?

Blimey cross post Wadsy that's amazing!!! Congrats on the BFP!!!!

Bubbly best thing to do is google fertility acupuncture London to find someone who specialises - then you need to ensure they are a member of the British Acupuncture Council.

However recommendation is always best. Some of the London ladies might be able to help.

Mine in based in Solihull in the Midlands so not much help!!

Whispered congratulations on the bfp, Wadsy!

congratulations on the bfp Wadsy

Congrats wadsy

Thank you ladies, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your care and support. Bubbly I'm just south of London in Epsom and would very much recommend mine if that's any good to you? X

Congrats wadsy

good news just hope you get your first cuddles this evening.
