Hi all
I’m a nana in waiting - My daughter has suffered 7 losses and I’m pretty sure this is happening again / I’m worried sick for her and I know she has mentally shut down and said she has nothing left in her to give ..
reason for posting is I guess to see if anyone else has been through similar with positive results

she has had one ectopic ( lost a tube ) and since then 6 others that have either expelled early via bleeding or been a blighted ovum - or molar - she had the one before last tested at 10 weeks it was a little girl and they said she had a chromosome issue - after the last loss she was unable to conceive untill now where she is currently 5 plus 5 days - the issues now are that she has already had two scans and three hcg tests ( epu are just amazing with her and know them both well ! How sad is that )

i think I know that this baby is going to be another molar because the first scan last Monday they couldn’t see anything and this last one Friday at 5 plus 3 they could ee the sac but nothing In it so are scamming her next Friday again.
the hcg had trebled from last Wednesday to Friday so again going from 897 to 2237 or something is really high - they are also measuring her at 4 weeks and she knows exactly how far along she is cos of testing etc.
this is exactly what happened with of the others that turned out to be molar.
my poor girl is in bits and I don’t know what to say or do / life js so unfair she has been through so much the mental cruelty of it all and just not knowing and wanting answers is soul destroying for her and me as her mum I wanna make it all better sorry for long rambling post and good luck to all of you that get your little bundle of joys xx

I'm so sorry, it sounds utterly horrific for your DD. I've no words of wisdom but didn't want to scroll past. I have everything crossed for this pregnancy for you all. 💐

I'm so sorry to hear what your DD is going through and can only imagine how helpless you feel as her Mum having to stand by and watch. I'm afraid I don't have any stories/answers to help you but I just wanted to send you a big hug.

I imagine EPU are monitoring everything they possibly can and giving progesterone etc? Have they maybe considered IVF so they know the implanted embryo is genetically ok? That the only thing I can think of. I really hope that she gets her little miracle rainbow baby soon, and that you get a little grandchild to snuggle too. 💕

Thank you both for replying
she is on progesterone for this pregnancy yes .
i think if this is another molar they will need to look further into things again.
she’s had tests and they diagnosed her with chronic endometritis which is s infection in the uterus lining and the only treatment is a course of antibiotics that after a week she was tajen off because of a. Violent reaction .
that said it wouldn’t affect the embryo quality just the inability to inbed itself in the womb Which this one seems to off done
infertility is the loneliest feeling in the world ( I also struggled to conceive for 4 years st the same age she is now ) diff reasons than her though
no Matter how many times I tell her she will be a mummy one day she Doesn’t believe me - heart breaking - I’m a foster mum as well and it makes her so mad to see kids come into care. You can imagine her frustration bless her ….

@Foster29 any updates for your daughter? Hope all is ok.. 💕

Foster29 · 22/05/2023 13:09

Hi thank you for asking. We suspect it is another blighted ovum because she went for a scan on Friday at epu and they didn’t do an internal just a tummy one. But though the sac has grown from 3 mum to 17 mum there was nothing in it.
she has a internal tomorrow at Tommys which was already booked. So we will know tomorrow. But we have known since the first scan. It’s not fair it’s just cruel. No other words for it
she’s been signed off work she can’t cope. I don’t blame her either just feel utterly helpless again.

@Foster29 I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending lots of love to you both 😔💕

After all that initial bad news. Scan today showed a baby omg - measuring 6 plus 5 which is the most positive out come they have ever had - never heard or seen a heart beat before. Measuring perfect as well. So if the epu had bothered to do a internal scan on Friday my Daughter wouldn’t of had the weekend from hell but omg we had the best news so far today we have ever had 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I just scrolled through this thread dreading your update post - but what wonderful news !! If it helps , I was told with two of my pregnancies that it was likely I had a molar as my hcg was too high and not going up in the normal fashion plus a scan at six weeks showed just a sac - My “molar” pregnancies are now 18 and 13 . Sending lots of positive vibes for this very precious baby

@Foster29 oh my goodness! What an unexpected and wonderful update! 🥰 Sending so many wishes for a continuing healthy pregnancy!! 🌈💕🤞🏻🥰
