Congratulations Longest! What a ray of sunshine to hear your news! Beth is a lovely lovely name. 
Twilight yes you are protected by law under the Equalities Act 2010. Any employer is required to make 'reasonable adjustments' to your health needs (this included flexible working) so it's good that you have decided to being upfront with them from the start. Surely current employer could have made it a whole lot easier buy omitting that information, it seems a bit shitty. Under the Act if the new employer decided not to employ you based on that information this would be discrimination.
Thank you for the support from this thread on Wednesday it really means so much to hear from the people who know what you're going through.
I took your advice and I've booked a D&C for Tuesday if I don't miscarry naturally over the weekend. No spotting yet but feeling really washed out.
Bootle I don't mind at all that you think my consultant is crap - he is! He admitted that he wasn't an expert in fertility so didn't know much about it.
I live on a Scottish Island and our hospital is quite small, we do get exceptional care but the medical expertise is not there and we often get the poorest quality locum consultants. Easy money for him swanning in grinning: "Good afternoon, well its not a good afternoon for you is it? etc etc etc". Absolute garbage. My previous Ob/Gyn left recently and is under investigation by the ombudsman for a botched hysterectomy.
Barking you were asking why I did IVF and I always questioned it myself. After 6 months on Clomid (mc 2 was from Clomid pregnancy) I was told by Ob/Gyn that he couldn't continue me on Clomid because there is a risk of cancer so the next step was a referral for IVF on the NHS. We waited months for the response and it came back saying we didn't meet the criteria. I had an inkling that they were stringing us along so had already set the wheels in motion for private IVF in Edinburgh. NHS Ob/Gyn said that if the IVF didn't work to come back and see him so I did and he said the only thing he could do for me would be ovarian drilling but I looked it up and decided it was inappropriate. I had a frozen embryo which implanted early this year and that was Mc 3.
I'd never really considered that the embryo would be chromosomal normal. I assumed that was the problem but the tests on product of conception were only testing to see if either of us had specific chromosomal disorders and that is what the result meant, that it was 'fine so we were 'fine'. I need to clarify this when i see OB/Gyn in July. I feel really ignorant about all this
.
I had it in my head because it's what I've been told by previous OB/Gyn the first time I mc'd that it's most likely that there was a chromosomal mishap at the exact time of conception so an embryo was never going to develop fully.
This is the first time I've actually seen an embryo. The first mc I had the scan at 8.5 weeks after a bleed and they said it was probably a blighted ovum and the gestational sac had stopped growing at 6.5 weeks. The second time the sac grew to 6.5 weeks I had a scan after a bleed at 8.5 weeks and there was only a yolk sac inside. The third time I mc'd before the scan so i don't know. This time the embryo grew to 7w+2d.
I've also made up of a 'to do' list to keep me going.
- Continue to be seen by crap Ob/Gyn just incase i need him.
- Ask for cytogenetic analysis on products of conception
- Ask GP to test me again for PCOS
- Research whether DH's Haemochromatosis can cause miscarriage
- Research whether my blood type Rh - can cause miscarriage
- Decide whether to go to Coventry/London for specialist help
- Ask for a copy of my medical notes.
- Clarify if we have actually been tested for Factor V Leiden as part of the antiphospholipid tests.
Anything else i should be adding to the list?
Sorry for the mega-post. This is the first time I've sat down and thought things through.
