Recurrent Miscarriage Support Thread 24 - tests, treatment, trying again.

[Brummiegirl15]

New thread for us if it's worked on phone! Will paste stats

Omg Brummie!! Deep breaths and congratulations! Can't help you with the prostegtone but I would hope that as you have plenty of the drug in your body from the previous few day then I would hope it would be ok. Sure one of the other ladies will be able to help or phone Coventry first thing tomorrow.

Congratulations Brummie! Fantastic news. It is terrifying, but you're not alone. Do you have heparin at the ready too?

brummie! Haha! Ace news. Xx

Yeay!!! I secretly knew it brummie! So pleased. That's a good strong line. Fingers crossed for all the bfps that these are the lucky ones.

spam I am so sorry about baby Jack. How unutterably sad. You sound an amazing woman to be taking such good care of your boys in extremely challenging circumstances. I agree 22 months is very early to have spotted an issue worth investigating. Well done you.

Was feeling sorry for myself as still ill and solo parenting as dh is worse but have just been invited to shaun the sheep at cheap cinema followed by spring fair at local museum and have perked up on seeing dd excited.Will stop wishing she was at nursery and I was in bed and look forward to what could be our last day out just us fora while!

I've got a bit panicky and tearful as I'm so frightened.

No, not got heparin yet will ring Worcester EPAU this week and see what they. I'm only 3+3 so not sure when they start heparin from. I know Tanny was quite early.

I'm seeing Mr Watts anyway on 15th June but will email Prof Brosens tomorrow asking question and see if I need a prescription for 400mg

Although I do know some people take it from a BFP so hoping the 2 days won't matter

I knew I was and I had so many symptoms but I still can't quite believe it after seeing 3 BFN's

brummie that's ace news!

Wow great news Brummie the two days won't make any difference. Just press on with the progesterone and get the prof on the the phone tomorrow. Very excited for you!

Minie it sounds to me like you would benefit from some counselling if you haven't got any in place at the moment. Automatic negative thoughts are basically what you are describing and a counsellor can help you to work through them with cognitive behavioural work. It really made a difference for me.

Hope you've had a nice break barking? When is your next lot of treatment or are you still undecided?

Waving hi to everyone else. Sorry I haven't name checked you all. Thread moves so so fast! X

Brummie

Congratulations brummie, that's great news! For dating purposes, because you have a short cycle I think you need to date from ov (taking ov as 2 weeks) rather than af. If you were 12dpo on Thursday that makes you 4+2.

Congratulations brummie

Brummie that is definitely a line! DP can't argue the toss with that one! Am whispering congratulations and we're all here for the handhold. I had a location scan at 4+3 in Coventry, Jady went at a similar time. So made up for you lovely x

So sorry to hear of our newbies. I am heartbroken about your loss Spam, it is just so awful to have gone through that. I have been trying to reconnect with my 3 year old following Bertie's birth, as it has been a long 2 years to get here. The good news is that at this age they are quick to respond and it isn't too late to connect more. Big hugs to you x

brummie I knew you could do it!

Ooooh congrats brummie

Yay! Woohoo! brummie so so so so chuffed for you! I knew they were bloody zebras!

Thanks bootles and cat glad to know I'm not quite going mad! My acupuncturist is a pretty good counsellor so I'll perhaps just see her a bit more often and see how it goes!

Congratulations brummie amazing news take it easy.

I'm just so happy for you brummie. Do you mind me asking did they find anything at Coventry and what treatment plan are you going to follow?

I was counting weeks last night (because that's how I measure my life now) and I've realised that if I wanted to be in what I consider a safely pregnant place by the time we go on holiday in September I woukd need to get pregnant in the next few weeks. I don't think that's going to happen and I told DH it might be time to take a break because I couldn't face miscarrying abroad. He was devastated. He thinks that we have done the tests, we have a treatment plan and if we just keep going eventually one little bean will stick. But I'm so scared of it happening abroad.

Snoopy, I totally understand, but don't put everything nice in your life on hold (easier said than done). If you don't feel confident when the holiday comes around, make a decision then. We felt the same a year ago and booked a holiday for Easter, but in the end we cancelled it because I didn't feel confident to travel. We lost the deposit, but we had options for every eventuality, rather than regrets of missing out. I know its not 'only money', but having something to look forward to (and envoke sod's law) might help your outlook.

News from the neonatal unit: We're going to take the feeding tube out later and see what Scott demands. If he feeds well, and continues to gain weight, maybe we'll be on the home straight, as it were. Worst case scenario, he doesn't feed properly, gets hungry and they put another tube in, or he loses weight and they decide to tube feed again to get him topped up. I think he needs a little push to get him motivated. Wish us luck!

brummie huge hug and high five!! Don't worry about the progesterone. I missed a day thinking I wasn't pregnant and then was convinced it was a chemical, but here I am at 10+2 (still utterly paranoid and getting more bonkers by the day!). Get on the phone to Coventry about whether you need 400mg progesterone asap. Think you need to get on the heparin by about 6 weeks but do it earlier if you are prone to super early losses. I had my location scan at 5+2 and started it that day, and don't usually mc until later in 1st tri. Oh and I'd recommend stepping away from more testing. It only screws with your mind.

What super BH news!

And great news just. Fingers crossed Scott feeds well without the tube. Hopefully he'll be home before you know it

Delinking to say an absolutely MASSIVE congratulations to Brummie. Everything crossed for you darling xxxxx

*delurking - stupid phone

Hi Sebs, was thinking of you the other day. Hope everything's ok with you ??

Sebs you are back!!!! understand the need to step away but we've missed you.

Thanks all, I am going bonkers already Minnie.

The thing that makes me sad for all
of us is that our first thoughts are "wow we are going to have to a baby"

But please god let this one be ok, and if it's not just get it over and done with.

Snoopy not at all - they didn't find anything at Coventry - lining slightly thin but that's it. All my rmc tests have been clear, hysteroscopy was clear too.

I do know how you feel re holiday. I've booked a holiday to US and I've already sorted insurance. Insure & Go let you fly up to 32 weeks. If this pregnancy is ok, then I'd be 24 weeks when I flew home.

But my view is that even if I wasn't and was newly pregnant, I'm insured, I'm with family and would have US health care so if I miscarry in the states, I would deal with it.

But then I would have my own registrar and anaesthetist lying by the pool with me. Who has that???!!!!

I felt I couldn't put my life on hold - I'd done that for the past year.

But I know how you feel and you don't want to risk anything. I'm already stressing about Italy and Belgium in June for work.

I'm checking with Prof B tomorrow and also want to sort acupuncture.

Just great news!!!! Fingers crossed little Scott gets hungry

Awww thanks, I'm not back though lol.

I've got rid of the baby stuff and plan on going back to work. We have officially stopped trying and I feel so much better mentally. I was pretty much on the edge of a breakdown I think.

But I like keeping an eye on the thread as I feel invested in everyone's progress so I shall pop up occasionally and do some cheering from the sidelines.

Also thinking of cloud. Hope you're ok, so sorry you are in the midst of lots of worry and everything crossed you can get through this 12 weeks with a great scan at the end xxxx
