Hi ladies,
I'm new here, but a long-time lurker. I hope nobody minds. I have a history of multiple miscarriage. I've done IVF and I have one last embryo remaining which, all being well, I'll have put back in around 2027.
I was planning to have my last embryo put in around February, but we wanted to do one more investigation to rule anything out. I saw a private gynecologist who specialised in recurrent miscarriage who recommended a hysteroscopy to check for endometritis. I'd never had a hysteroscopy before and it was my first time under GA, I've never been knocked out before. I was terrified, but it really was a piece of piss in the end! The recovery was rough, but I'm so grateful because I've heard hysteroscopies being done without a GA and I doubt I'd have made it through without being knocked out. Anyway, I only went privately because the waiting list for the NHS was just too long and I was told that the NHS's interest in recurrent miscarriage doesn't really exist, leading to lack of knowledge and virtually no funding.
It turns out that I did actually have endometritis. The biopsy came back clear, but the consultant saw textbook endometritis through the camera and prescribed me three very powerful antibiotics.
We need to save up for my last embryo to be put back, and so we just carried on trying naturally in the meantime. I then got a positive pregnancy test in July and I thought it was going to end in another loss, I was more or less expecting it at this point. However, it turns out it was the best £4k we've spent, because for the very first time ever, I got this on Wednesday! I still can't believe it!
(I was 12+3 by last menstrual period, the sonographer measured 12+1 in the scan, so I'm 12+4 today)
