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.

Great news wadsy! Everything crossed for you that this is the one!

Just how was heal prick, number two? You must be desperate for cuddles. Have you negotiated being able to stay on at the hospital?
I'm due of the 4th July but the way these braxton hicks are going mini Boozle will just shoot out! Mind you, I took my class for a three hour hike today which probably didn't help!

Yup Bubbly, I've had three too, we've not had success yet but we're due in July so everything crossed...

boozie sounds promising though i haven't been able to get to the heartbeat stage. i get to implantation and then the fetus hasn't grown past 4.7mm

Just,glad to hear mini just is doing better today & hope you get cuddles soon.

Waddy, whispers congratulations x

Knackered after stressful week. Not taking it as a sign of anything but off to bed x

Wow busy thread today! I need a notebook. Apologies in advance for anyone I miss!

wadsy congratulations on the BFP. Everything crossed for a sticky bean!

sasha glad your tests and scans etc are all done and you've got a plan of action.

brummie symptoms sound positive, cm increased for me in last pg. Have you checked cervix position- I had a strong suspicion I was pg after doing that (not something I ever did before fertility probs/mcs!)

just yay that minijust is improving. Hope you've been able to have a cuddle today.

bubbles I don't know much about fibroids so can't help I'm afraid. They sound pretty big though! Hope you're ok and have found things to take your mind off everything.

Thanks march I know 4 days to Coventry! Bit worried about my appointment being at 3.45 and then the pharmacy will be closed. I think someone else had this worry but I can't remember who (mrsC diddly maybe?!)

Hugs to all those with due dates coming up. It's rubbish. My next is in July and then Sept. Hoping I might be pg before then but pretty much unlikely.

So sorry if I've missed anyone- I just can't remember and can't go back without losing this!

Oh bubbly another acupuncture convert here. Great therapy chat beforehand and she has definitely sorted my cycles and got me ovulating. Agree with googling fertility acupuncturists, some tend to be pretty knowledgeable about the different doctors too. Mine goes to talks and seminars with them and is pretty up in recent research.

Reading back...

cloud glad the spotting has stopped for now and that you still feel sick. Glad you sorted the babysitter too. One less thing to worry about.

loopy sorry you've got stressful cycles. My ewcm seems to be back today even though according to monitor I ov'ed on Sunday (and so rang Cov!) now it's back im worried I'm oving now which is too close to my appointment-aargh! Also totally get how you feel about wanting another. When I was two years into the struggle to have ds I thought how can anyone with at least one child be that desperate to have another, they should be grateful etc etc. Now I'm desperate for number two I totally get it. Wanting a baby is all consuming whatever number it is (though I still think that much harder when it's number one you so desperately want) and it takes so much bravery to stop trying and accept what you have. I think you probably feel it in you somehow and, like you, I'm just not there yet. Such a crappy shitty place to be unfortunately xx

Bubbly I had dd1 after 3 MCs and then dd2 after 2 more mcs
Don't lose hope

tinytear did you do anything different for your success

Grrrrr - lost long post. Ok briefly-

brummie - those symptoms sounds promising! And wadsy - - great news on bfp!

bubbly - I have been going to the London acupuncture clinic on wimpole street. Danny maxwell and Daniel Elliot specialise in fertility acupuncture and are both incredibly knowledgable. They also work very closely with the major fertility clinics in london - lister, ARGC etc and lots of the ivf patients from the clinics attend acupuncture there. They have just moved though and the price has gone up to £60 for 45 mins which is too much for me to go regularly. So now am just doing every two weeks when pg (generally not pg for very long, so hasn't been too expensive!).

Managed to get some cuddles this evening, finally. He's doing much better. I've been sent home, was sad to leave without him, but at least he's getting 24/7 care and I can get some sleep etc.
Waves to everyone and thanks again for your support. xx

Just,big hugs having to leave mini just, but glad to hear you had a cuddle x

Yeay just! You sound much brighter after that cuddle. Hurrah for mini just. Does he have a name yet?

bubbles the only thing I did differently this time was take agnus castus when ttc. No idea if it made a difference but think it might have done as I got pregnant much quicker than usual too.

The fibroids definitely sound worth investigating though. At 35 you have plenty of options.

wadsy congratulations. Everything crossed for you.

Ooh brummie I am getting my hopes up...

Sun in comparison my acupuncture is £45 for 30 mins in Solihull so actually on a "cost per minute" basis yours is actually better value - in Central London!

Just yay for cuddles!!

Well just had a letter come through from Mr Watts saying thank you for the Coventry letter. He was pleased with the results and he will prescribe all the meds requested anyway.

And a copy was sent to my GP.

Seeing how hard some of you have had it post Coventry makes me realise how lucky I am that I've got a great consultant and they are "working together" to give me the best care and it's not about ego.

Boozle not long now!!! So it will mini Boozle longest and Cat rocking up next!! Fab x

Glad you had cuddles just. Imagine it must be very hard to go home without him but hopefully he can go home soon too.

Brummie it's really refreshing to hear how the consultants and teams are working together with your best interests at heart. Keeping everything crossed you get a bfp when it's time to test! X

Minnie think the pharmacy closes at 6pm. You'll be fine with a 345pm appt

just hooray for cuddles. It must be heartbreaking to leave him but a good night's sleep in your own bed will help you power up and deal with the days to come xx

Sorry for the me post but DH is now due to have surgery on his leg 3 weeks before my due date. He'll be unable to drive for 6 weeks and on crutches for a month. I'm wondering how on earth we will get to the hospital as I'm told taxis won't take labouring women? I know this is very minor in the scheme of things but I am slightly nervous. Can't really afford to push the op back as he's been waiting ages and desperately needs it to improve his mobility and health. Ugh stress! X

Damn - lost post, this site is rubbish, wish our thread had a search Bar. We should set up our own blog/support site ladies.

Bootle - so sorry for the confusion. I'm basically a bit thick! I got someone else confused a few weeks ago too. Clearly i think you lot are just a creation of my own imagination. I do sometimes talk to the ladies on here in the car. I am a teeny bit mental though...

Monten**, no appology, can you believe it?! It's like i'm their private blood bank or something! Bastardo wanktorian fuckpigs!!

Wadsy...whispering yeehah!

Brummie - with all my heart and soul i hope this is the month for you - if i could will it for you i would xxx

Night night ladies!

Cat, that's a toughie. My only word of caution is the possibility that you end up with an emergency c-section. You may end up both incapacitated with a new baby. Obviously I hope you don't need one.

MiniJust's name is official: Scott

Love the name Just.

Congrats Wadsy.

Brummie and Sun, a friend of mine took three years to conceive DD1, and had two miscarriages first. She also said that she didn't know if she could go through more miscarriages to have another. I was convinced she'd get pregnant quicker next time after having a baby, but she didn't believe me and she said that she'd never conceived any quicker after her miscarriages. I said I thought after going full term she might though. A year after DD1 was born they started trying again, expecting it to take several months, and she conceived on first cycle and DD2 was born nine months later.

I know it doesn't work out like that for everybody, but sometimes it does. She'd had endometriosis but docs still couldn't find any reason for infertility/miscarriages, and she was on waiting list for fertility treatment when her first daughter was born.

just, so pleased you've finally got your newborn snuggles. He's looking very well. And a lovely name. Congratulations again.

£45 for 30 mins brummie. Yikes. Mine is £15 for 30 mins (although she's actually only got the needles in for about 20 mins of that). Thought I'd have to stump up for a full price session every now and again (£48 for an hour), but she's managed to do it in the time.

That's a difficult one cat. If you end up being induced it would be fine as you wouldn't be in labour so could taxi there. How far away are you? Have you got any friends or family nearby? Sounds like he has to have the op; no question. Have you spoken to the hospital? There must be transport available for this kind of situation. Single people have babies all the time so surely they must be able to make arrangements. Hope you get it sorted. Not really the stress you need!

Lovely name Just x
