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.

Ooh March good luck tonight! I'm on Saturday for the 1st one.

Sun yay for the 39 in October club!

Well we've just booked flights to Florida for September - invoking law of sod that will now be a BFP (I can hope!)

I refuse to stop living my life because of bloody miscarriages and not knowing.

If I get pregnant now, I get pregnant!!!

Just had my consultation too (it was with prof Q though so you overrunning didn't effect me march )
I was a bit nervous beforehand but Siobhan was very nice and answered all my questions. I will be having 20mg prednisolone, and wean off at 10-12wks. I also asked about the progesterone dose and she said it was a bit of trial and error as they didn't have the research yet for this, but that they review it every 3 mths and adjust if necessary.
She was very positive and said they'd be able to 'sort it' and the treatments would work. She was pleased I had a clotting disorder as it was something else that's treatable. So overall, very positive.

Glad yours went well too march.

Good on you for booking your hol brummie, I was thinking a similar thing today, fed up of being scared to book things 'in case'.

Congratulations Purple & welcome to the world Baby John.

Just, hope the procedure goes ok and you're having cuddles soon.

March, glad to hear you had a good consultation and feeling positive. Are you continuing to rest as per Response protocol?

Scan tomorrow at 10.30am. No more bleeding today but not taken anything from that as symptoms have virtually disappeared in last few days, so really not hopefully, although praying for a miracle. Spent most of the day putting a plan in place at work in case I disappear for a few days in a discreet kind of way.

Oh Girlie I hate the fact that putting a plan in place is a necessity.

We'll be hand holding tomorrow xx

thanks you for all the luck ladies, I'm nervous. its not the disappointment that i can't handle its the hope i have that is hard to handle

Sorry to hear you're not more hopeful girlie . I'm still holding out some hope for you but totally understand you needing to plan.

I'm still doing the testing for response as I'm into it now, but might substitute the crappy tests for a frer from Thursday. Will need to phone the trial nurse and speak to her about what to do next. Would rather keep my options open with the trial in case the Coventry protocol doesn't work next time.

Fingers crossed for you and for bubbly tomorrow.

Well done on booking your hols brummie, definitely going to invoke sod's law

Glad your consult went well cheesy and that you and they are feeling positive. X

Congratulations to you purple I hope baby John is doing well.

Girlie will be thinking of you tomorrow, my 1st scan is booked for next tues...

Brummie you totally deserve a holiday, despite whatever life throws your way! Me and DH seem to finish most sentences regarding the future with 'if everything's ok' - a holiday, a day out, whatever, 'as long as baby sticks around' - guess I can't bear to jinx anything these days! X

mee too girlie i spent most of the day sorting things out and things i could do from home :(

I'm at 11:20 tom

Bubbly, fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

Brummie, as I type DH is looking at holidays for us. If it's bad news tomorrow, suspect we'll have something book quick smart.

Erica don't let my negativity get to you. Fingers crossed it's good news for you x

girlie when I had my 2nd mc - I was lying in bed on hospital after my ERPC and DP was like "fuck this. We need a holiday"

We went home after my ERPC and booked a holiday. So I understand that need.

We've booked a holiday because I need to have something to look forward to other then the fear of TTC or mc.

So now rather than "this could happen" we now know - sunshine is on the way

Thinking of you both for tomorrow and hoping you manage some sleep tonight, girlie and bubbles.

Yey to booking a holiday Brummie! Sounds just like what you and your DH need.

Good luck for tomorrow girlie and bubbles. We'll all be there with you. X

me and hubby already got a holiday booked so i really want it dealt with before i get on a plane on the 4th june

Hugs bubbles, this journey is so hard. I'll be keeping everything crossed that you get on that plane with cause for celebration. X

thanks cat lover trying to remain positive even if it disappointing tomorrow.

Good luck tomorrow bubbly and girlie hand holding and really hoping everything is perfect for you both xx

brummie yay for booking a holiday! Bound to be Sod's law and then lovely holiday plus a bonus baby- perfect!

cheesy and march sounds like your phone consults went well and were useful. Onwards and upwards now xx

OMG PURPLE!!!! Congratulations you lovely lucky lady!!! Welcome to the world little John!!!

Words can not express my sheer JOY at the fact we have TWO, TWO thread babies today! Today we are all winning this fucking awful afliction ladies!!!! Today the sun shines on us!!!!

Goodluck tomorrow girlie and bubble - will be here for you both with either 80's air punch or hand to hold. Thinking of you both. Xxx

Brummie** you and dh SO deserve a wonderful holiday, something wonderful to look forward to. Xxx

girlie and bubbly - keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow lovelies. x

brummie - holidays are definitely a good idea! x

Many congrats just and purple, can't believe we've had two thread babies in one day! just scary start for mini but take it one day at a time, he sounds strong and determined like his mum.

bubbles, girlie sending lots of luck for tomorrow and hand holding. Waiting for scans is horrid but we're all there with you.
cheesy, march glad to hear phone calls were good and there are plans in place. New chapters.
brummie yes yes to booking holidays, just do it! I think it's an excellent way to take back control and something super fun to look forward to :)
Waves at everyone else. Nothing to report here, DTD EOD, tired, sick of work but thankful for you guys keeping me sane and giggling.

Purple congratulations!!

Huge congratulations Purple and Just. And thank you for increasing our thread success rate massively in a single day.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Girlie and Bubbles.

Brummie, well done for booking that holiday. The cycle of hope, anxiety, elation and despair is bad enough without recurrent miscarriage also robbing us of years of our lives where we daren't make plans, change jobs, or move forward.

Wow, what a day on the thread! Just, purple I am utterly delighted for you both. .

I hope minijust's procedure went well and he is back with you for cuddles very soon.

bubbles and girlie I will be thinking of you tomorrow with everything crossed for good news.

baking thank you for the update on Faith. Really pleased she is still doing well and that you have the medics lining up in force.

Everyone else - I am sorry for falling behind on the thread today - love and hugs to all.

Baking, also meant to say good news about Faith. You are always so knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions, glad to hear things are going ok and all support is in place.
