1st m/c January, 2nd m/c May, still trying for 3rd BFP

[starry83]

Yey Angel, so pleased that your numbers were looking good! That woman at the fertility clinic is a joke! I cannot believe she said that to you! You are so lucky being monitored I am not able to have anything like that as they will not do anything in the UK until you have had three mc's! Although they have said they would give me a scan at 6-7 weeks. It is definitely positive to have a darker test anyway! Some people shouldn't be in their jobs.

Bazz, hope the docs appt goes well today and she is able to offer some more advice.

I am praying that I start with the ms! ha ha. The more symptoms I have the better!!!

Welcome girlwoman, I only recently joined this thread too after two mcs but everyone is so lovely and we call understand each other. Its a lucky thread too as I got my bfp 4 days after joining!!!

Hi ladies, my doctor just phoned with my results from some swabs I had done, all clear apart from an 'equivocal' amount of group b strepttococus. He said it is very common, does not cause miscarriage and is treated in labour with iv antibiotics.

Do any of you ladies have this/know of this? I'm worried as can lead to devastating results for baby if it is passed on untreated, and it could be passed on it utero? I will be placed on the high dependence unit too, so no water birth for me but baby's safety is paramount x

Sorry A1983 - I don't know anything about this so can't really help. I thought Strepttococus was the bug that caused a sore throat. We probably all have this in our system - especially around winter time. Hopefully it isn't too serious.

 

[A1983]

Yes thats strep a, more serious in terms of bacteria. Apparently this form occurs naturally in women (1:4 at anytime) and comes and goes, so at around 35 weeks pregnant women are swabbed and then iv antibiotics given during labour if tested positive to prevent transmission. So I'll be tested again at 35 weeks but will probably be given iv antibiotics anyway x

 

[starry83]

Hi A1983, I have looked it up, it sounds like its common but obviously still a worry for your and your lo. However it is good that they are aware of it and you will be treated for it, I am sure they will look after you when the time comes x

A1983 ~ I don't know about group b strep...I'll be interested to hear what you find out.

Manny ~ Hurray for flitters and for finding a nice maternity shop! Will your sister still need to bring you more? And double yay for next week's scan! (My HCG was 132 and Progesterone 33.8 in US measurements)

Starry83 ~ That'll be nice for you to have a scan to confirm the LO is snug in there. My FS told me she will monitor me through week 8, then I'll transfer over to a high risk OB/GYN (I'm 37, so most regular OB/GYN's won't see me).

Bailey ~ FX this new Dr gives you some answers! Make sure you tell her how long your cycles were in the past too. Maybe she'll run your Betas today and you'll know if preggers or not!

Hi Mrs and all the other ladies!

 

[bazzb]

Angel those are great number for 14 DPO yay

 

[bazzb]

I will tell her how long my cycles were before the MC... hehe you sound so motherly i love it

 

[xoxo4angel]

I will tell her how long my cycles were before the MC... hehe you sound so motherly i love it

I just want her to help you. I figure you should put it all out there and let her solve the puzzle! I hated not knowing what was going on with me...

 

[bazzb]

I know its so true! I really appreciate the concern

How are you feeling today?

 

[starry83]

They are fab numbers Angel! You must be really happy!!

 

[xoxo4angel]

Bailey ~ I feel fine today...my sister's friend, the OB, called me last night. He said my numbers sound good and he'll be anxious to see what Wednesday brings. More waiting...I'm keeping my PMA though.

Starry ~ My happiness is slightly clouded by fear. I'll feel better when I see things are progressing. How about you?

 

[bazzb]

I know it must be hard.. is it wednesday yet???

 

[starry83]

Fear... I am petrified! I know exactly how you feel!

I am going to the gym tonight so hopefully that can take my mind off it and make me feel better, I am slightly anxious about it but I can't not exercise because of my previous m/c's. I didnt exercise with either of those and I vowed when I got preg again I would continue.

 

[A1983]

I'm the opposite starry, I exercised during my last but this time I work full time (sitting :-\) then go home to the sofa! I go for a walk now and again! I tall and slim so my legs are looking more spindly by the day ha ha but toning can wait I think exercise is good for bub though and like with me and my decision to stop the gym for now as long as it helping your pma then it's good! I'll probably start minimally in second tri if I reach that but atm the sofa is my best friend zzzz! X

 

[bazzb]

two more hours and I get to meet the new Dr. I am nervous and excited I hope she decides to take me as a client.

 

[xoxo4angel]

Bailey...hope your Dr appointment is going well. Thinking of you! xoxo

 

[bazzb]

Thanks hun
It was good but quick
I have to go back on the 3rd for a follow up to check on the spotting etc
She did say it takes about 3 months for our bodies to adjust
She recommends I wait til jan to ttc I was like oooopa we tried this month but I don't think it worked she smiled and said that's ok

So I do feel better now and hopefully ahe continues to be helpful

Xx

 

[A1983]

One of my doctors advised me to wait 3 months but I didn't, just the one month...but it happened 3 months later anyway!

 

[xoxo4angel]

Glad your new Doc is doing follow ups and the like for you Bailey! I'm still not ruling out the possibility of a BFP!

G'morning ladies!
