Recurrent Miscarriage Support Thread 26 - tests, treatment and trying again

[bythesea82]

Tea, hugs, a wealth of collective knowledge and lots of hand holding as we try again. This thread moves like lightning so hold on to your hats!

onestep glad you've finally got an answer but I'm so sorry it's not the one you (and we) all wanted for you. MC is shit. Crying and wine and whatever else you need to get through it. Sorry- it really is just so shit.

Meant to say yesterday that the Yorkshire meet up was really lovely. And I can recommend the gin cocktail in Carluccios!

While the worry of breast cancer was pretty hideous for the last few days, it actually made me bloody appreciate having my one ds. All I could think was I have to be ok for him and if I never get to have dc2 then sad but at least I'll be alive for him. I'm trying to keep that feeling and not worry so much about having another. I'm so bloody lucky as it is, in so many ways. (I realise I'm in the middle of relief thinking here and by ov day I'll be back to the pressured shagging! I can but try!)

So sorry to hear thar onestep nutcase glad that the worry of am ectopic has been lifted from your mind. Hope you've lots of support and are being looked after.

I definitely agree on the cat thing. Mine have behaved differently around me when pregnant / mc-ing before I even knew.

Gutted for you Onestep am glad you've got confirmation though.

Let me know what dates you Bucks ladies decide on as I'd love to come too

Minnie I have a similar feeling... Will awake in the morning feeling lucky to be alive sort of feeling, try and seize everyday with a bit more enthusiasm and just be thankful for the simple things and wonderful family and friends around me.

Hope you are ok, great to hear you all had a great Yorkshire meet up! Xx

Brummie, Thorn, Just and Sun - (sorry if I've missed anyone else out) End of July or beginning of Aug are good for me, again pretty flexible.

Glad they called eventually onestep. Sorry it wasn't better news but bet its a great relief to know what's going on. Be kind to yourself.

Yes what a week, watching trashy TV in bed to wind down now!

Onestep sorry to hear it has been confirmed as a MC but I understand the relief too. Hope the is helping!

Minnie so pleased to hear you are in the clear. We are "lumpy" in our family and although you know it's probably nothing, it is still a worry.

I'm feeling a bit less bleak than I was. Sleep and talking it through have definitely both helped. I'm off to the gp in the morning still, just to have got the ball rolling if needed.

Been up since 3am supporting Dh on his ironman and literally just fallen into bed after a long drive home after a very long day. Totally exhausted. And I didn't swim 2.4 miles, cycle 112 miles or run 26 miles.... Haven't had Internet all wkd as I've barely had phone reception, and no time anyway, so will catch up tomorrow but just wanted to say so sorry about your shit day onestep. Bad news is bad news, but drawing it out like that is just horrible .

Oh, and dh raised £1,436 for Tommy's by getting sponsored for the ironman .

barking super achievement for your dh and for a fantastic charity too. Hope you have a restful sleep now!

Onestep, so sorry you had to wait so long for the sad confirmation. Look after yourself. A meet up near the end of July works for me, maybe Saturday 25th?

Barking, hats off to your dh, and for you for supporting him.

Well done Barking and of course Mr Barking. Hope you slept well x

onestep, so sorry that it's another miscarriage but very relieved that the numbers are now falling and you won't lose a tube. Please don't feel like you have caused this by stopping the prog early. I really don't think it would have made that much difference. The profs theory is that the prog is more about balancing the selectivity/receptivity rather than supporting it (the jury is still out on that one). I'm holding on to the thought that my early losses were bad eggs and that my uterus being more selective due to the prog. I don't know if that helps you at all. It's small comfort i know. Hope you're getting well looked after irl

tanny, glad to hear you are feeling a bit better about things. I think it probably is still a good idea to see the gp and get yourself in the system, but glad you've talked it through

barking, well done to your dh. That's an amazing achievement and a huge amount of cash for a good cause

onestep glad to hear it wasn't an ectopic, but sorry that it's another mc. Look after yourself. I agree with march that not taking the prog would be unlikely to directly cause an early mc in this way.

barkingI am well impressed by your dh, an amazing achievement, and raising all that money for Tommy's is fantastic.

tanny absolutely keep the ball rolling, you know there will be good days and bad days, but glad things a little better at the moment.

flen good plan

sasha sorry about the low progesterone and bfn (is it certain or is there still a chance?)

minnie that's exactly what I tell myself. Got to stay well for ds, and sometimes I worry about the effect of multiple pg's and the stress.

longest thanks. Still another week to next scan and am entering the danger zone (that's going by the last one - I have yet more danger zones if I get through this one!)

Hope all of you with new little ones are getting along ok.

Waves to all x

Waving a good morning from France!

Sorry to hear that some of you are struggling - sending hugs and Hope you are all feeling better soon, take care of yourselves.

As for me, I am now officially in the second trimester 13 weeks today, gulp.
The next few weeks will be...interesting. Got my dating scan on the 29th, but it's the screening bloods that I am really scared of... When it all started going wrong last time

Just Sat 25th July is fine with me too.

Have cramping pain right under my ribs this morning.

Bootles I'm 8 weeks on Wednesday and that's my danger zone - bricking it

Just I can do 25th July

Hi, not sure if I'm okay to post on here?
just needed somewhere/someone to talk to.

I've now had 6 miscarriages, i have one healthy and beautiful 18 month old boy, i had 2 m/c before him and I'm currently going through my 4th after him :(
I'm devastated as i really thought this time would be it.. i had progesterone pessaries 2 x daily, but obviously these didn't work either, i get to the same point each time 8-10 weeks then it happens. Is it worth trying again or shall i just give up, as I'm starting to lose all hope i'll ever have another :'(

Cloud, hand holding. I can only imagine your nerves coming up to your tests and scan. Everything crossed for you.

Brummie, hand hold for you, too.

Let's settle on the 25th July, a nice pub lunch or rumseys in Wendover?

Welcome, Gemma. Sorry you find yourself here. I hope you find dome support here.
What tests have you had, if any? There's a link further back down the thread for the Coventry implantation clinic, which many of us have been to, with a good rate of success. Have a look and ask any questions of us that you have.

So sorry one step. Glad it isn't worse news but sorry it's another mc and for what you went through yesterday. Glad the Dr was apologetic.

gemma welcome and sorry for your losses. We have many success stories after several miscarriages so don't lose hope. I echo the suggestion to look up Coventry, though I got my rainbow baby after no different treatment really. I just got lucky.

cloud and Bootles Yeay and hand hold in equal measure. Am holding my breath for you both but am hopeful this is your time.

Tanny good luck at the gp. Xxx

Barking well done and thanking you to your dh! Does he have a fundraising page? Feel free to pm me the link.

Hello Gemma, so sorry to hear what you have been through. please talk as much as you like on here, all the ladies are amazing and hopefully you can find some help.

On another note, has anyone every heard of this, or know anyone who has tried it?? I'm going to try it, think anything is worth trying at the moment…!

just, brummie, onestep, thorn ... Sat 25th July works for me too!

Hand holding to all going through critical points - will catch up properly later.

I admit Just I'm always a sucker for a pub lunch but happy with Rumseys also. My Mum & Dad are only in Princes Risborough and will pop and see them afterwards. I haven't been home since February for my Mum's birthday - although I have seen them I hasten to add!!!! Just let me know where and what time you all decide!

Barking that is amazing of your DH!!!

Gemma welcome and I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm another one who is all about Coventry. It's defo worth considering

Bonjour Cloud 2nd trimester!!! Get in!!!
