Just a quick post to say how happy I am that your scan went well Brummie. Hope you can now enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and start the preperations to welcoming a little person into your life and loving arms.

Sending hugs and flowers to everyone having hard times. xxxx

bubbly, policy varies a lot on how you get results. Some people had a follow up appointment to discuss the results and any treatment. Mine was a letter in the post with the results which said they would 'support me through any future pregnancy', but she didn't really mean that, because when i tried to phone for advice next time it took weeks until she got back to me!

In terms of questions, I would definitely be asking if you will be supported in a future pg and how you access that support (my consultant refuses to respond to emails).

Ask about what treatment they will offer you if results come back positive OR normal and ask how you access that medicine (prescribed by consultant or gp?, can you get it in advance so it is ready waiting to take from bfp/7dpo?).
Many of us are on the Coventry protocol, progesterone suppositories 2×daily from either 7dpo or bfp and heparin injections from location scan (for its cytoprotective effect on placental cells, not for clotting disorder). Ask about whether this might be an option. The implantation clinic at Coventry prescribe this to most people, even in the absence of a high nk cells diagnosis. It's worth going with a good idea of what you might like them to prescribe. I hadn't really done much research on heparin/progesterone before i went so I wasn't able to properly discuss it at my appt, which felt like a missed opportunity later.

Ask about when results will be ready, how you will be given them, whether you will need to repeat the clotting bloods and whether they advise waiting for results before ttc again.
I'm sure you will have lots more questions about things like whether they see a pattern to your losses and how likely it is to happen again, but these are all the practical ones that i forgot to ask!! I hope this helps a bit x

thanks marchgirl i shall get my notepad out, congrats to brummie just catching up on some of the posts good luck flen and mrsc

MrsConfusion · 21/07/2015 13:12

All OK here - developing nicely, hb 176 and starting to look more like baby than blob. Nurse is always reluctant to tell me measurements but from what I could see on screen, dates look ok. She told me to book in with midwives - eek, feels like I might jinx it. Next scan 7th Aug (she asked if I needed any more - ye gods yes! Anxiety rampant and will be worse as we approach 12 weeks when we lost MC1).

Thanks so much for all your support ladies, much appreciated.

Floweroct · 21/07/2015 13:32

Great news mrsc, good luck flen!

brummie I thought no I forgot to say congrats on yesterday!

barking well done on your triathalon!

Af arrived today, so am just waiting for a call back from the clinic for a date for hysteroscopy. It's just diagnostic as we're going private and so it's cheaper to just have that esp as my hsg came back fine and so had previously been told I didn't need hysteroscopy. So hopefully I'll have it in the next week or so!

BumbleBee0 · 21/07/2015 13:37

Great news mrsC Grin

Hope you get your date for your hysteroscopy flower

Flen · 21/07/2015 14:30

All looking ok! Heartbeat still going, measuring 7 weeks which is about right. Was so overwhelmed my legs started shaking uncontrollably! Next scan next Wednesday...

Thank you everyone for all your handholding xx

Excellent news MrsC and Flen Grin. Great that you've both got another scan as well Smile

floweroct did you get a date through?

March Dh leaves at 4am tomorrow morning . First ivf scan is at 8am to see what's happening and where I am in my cycle. On cd14 now but not expecting ov just yet. Bloody typical. Worked out that in almost 6 years since we met, we've only ever had a week apart at most, and that has only been twice, when we went on holiday separately (he did school ski trip on one occasion while I went to the Lakes with some friends, and the other was just after we first met when he went to stay with a friend to go snowboarding). Really not looking forward to it Sad.
