[Emmediva]

Ayclobles, welcome to team yay so far 2 prince's and 1 princess!!

 

[ayclobes]

Thanks ladies! we're over the moon! the scan--everything was normal/great and he's right where he should be development/growth wise for 20w! my placenta is anterior..so thats why i havent felt much movements and his back is out towards my belly button.

I started buying stuff today haha! i got 4 sleepers and 3pk of bibs from carters for $44, and 3 pairs of jeans, a sleeper, and a long sleeve onsie thing from old navy for $46! both had sales!

 

[wookie130]

Congrats, Ayclobes!!! Boys are marvelous!

 

[Ambivalent]

Hi ladies. Hope you are all doing great. Cant tell you how much i am looking forward to the weekend.

Good choices of names - i am a big fan of the name Alexander. And Hannah. It is Hannah's names day on my birthday, so always liked it.

Congrats, Ayclobes, that is fantastic.

I have been crazy busy at work this week doing up to 15 hours in a day which has been stressful but certainly kept me from spending too much time with Dr Google.

I also has a call from the clinic. Aparently my Anti Mullarian Hormone levels are low (FS levels are normal). The nurse couldnt really tell me anything about it, so i have an appointment with the doctor on Tuesday. Google tells me that means basically that i am running out of time, but it doesnt explain the recurrent miscarriages.
Anyway, given this result, am completely unable to stop myself from trying. I know maybe we should, but i just cant waste a potentially good egg.
Has anybody else had any experience with low AMH levels?

 

[BeachChica]

Congrats Ayclobes!!! Its gets so exciting when you can start shopping!!!

Nicki - Have a fabulous time on your holiday!!!

Ambi - I had FS and Anti-mullarian done I will have to look at my labs but I too think I'm running out of time. How old are you? I am 39.

 

[Ambivalent]

Beach- I'm 'only' 34, so until we started trying last December i assumed i had all the time in the world. My AMH levels are 0.42 Ng/ml. I have no idea what that means but the reference range is 1.3 - 7 so i am clearly quite far from ideal.

The strange thing is that low amh should - again according to dr google- only make it more difficult to conceive, not cause miscarriages. And i seem to be getting pregnant a lot.

What are your levels, beachy?

 

[BeachChica]

Ambi - My test was done in March of this year and I had the following results:

Anti Mullerian: 2.83 NG/ML
FSH: 8.1 MIU/ML

I think the results vary based on your CD that you had the test done. I think I was on CD 3
I had Estradiol tested also which was a 26

I too have no problems getting prego but as you can see, many MC's

 

[ayclobes]

Wookie, Ambi, and Beach --- thank youu! we're so over the moon and i can't wait til you ladies get there!

baby is measure exactly where he should be for 20w which is great! everything she seen/measured/showed us yesterday was normal and great! I go back for another u/s at my 24wk appt b/c she wasnt able to see/look at his lips and feet..he was on his stomach mostly then flipped for a couple minutes just enough for her to get a shot of the goods, measure his legs, look at his stomach, umbilical cord, heart, and to let us see one of his eyes haha. what a stinker!

 

[monro84]

Lexi--Wow by the time you get to rest you will just about be in the 3 tri if not in it. Thats great.

ayc-A boy thats great. Is it just me or does it seem like more boys than girls ar born.

Nicki--Get some rest on the holiday if you can . Can't wait for the next scan. FX for ya

Ambivalent--Wish I could help you there but I have no clue if I was even tested for Anti Mullarian Hormone I don't think I was but I doubt that it means you don't have much longer.

This is all what I was tested for

Anticardiolip Ab, IgA/G/M, Qn
Antithrombin III, Func/Immunol
Chromosome, Blood, Routine
Factor II Activity
Factor V Leiden Mutation
Lupus Anticoagulant Panel
Thyroid Perioxidase (TPO) Ab
TSH

I can give you results too If you want any.

 

[Nicki123]

Hi lovely ladies. I'm not feeling too good today... Had some brownish grey(!)ish spotting this morning, and my queasiness totally disappeared. Went for a scan at the epu (I asked v nicely for a tummy scan and they said yes), the heart is still beating but measurements have hardly moved on. In 5 days the baby has grown 0.5mm and it should have grown about 5mm.

My only hope Is that the measurements were out of whack cus tummy scans aren't as clear, and they were done at two different places by different people. But I know this is a long shot and in my heart of hearts I'm thinking the worst.

All this being in limbo is driving me mad. I just want to know what's going on. I could handle it if they told me it wasn't going to work out, I just can't handle the uncertainty.

I'm going on holiday on Saturday whatever, and I'll try and have a good time, though that's going to be hard. We'll have another scan when we come back and then I will know for sure either way.

Feeling urggggh

Ambi - I just had my massive pile of pregnancy paperwork out and so looked at what I was tested for and anti mullarian wasn't on the list. But if that's more linked to getting pg, rather than mcs, I doubt the NHS would test for is as part of the RPL programme.

Ayclobes pleased your scan was good

Hi everyone else x

 

[lexi374]

Nicki im sorry hun, hoping it's not the worst for you.

I hope you can enjoy your holiday, it's going to be tough.... i know i would not.

Will be thinking of you and hoping you get some good news on your return xx

 

[monro84]

Nicki-- What was the heart rate? That is so true that 2 totally different places the machines could be better where you got the scan last time so it is harder to pick up. Is there any reason you did not want internal those are the best at this point, however I know I hated them b/c alot of spotting/ Light light bleeding after wards. GL FX for you

 

[Nicki123]

Hi Monro. 2 of my mmcs happened right after internal scans and even though I know in my head there is no link, I can't help but associate them. They have also caused spotting and some of the nurses can be pretty heavy handed. Saying that, if this one goes wrong I know I will feel differently next time.

I don't know what the heart rate was unfortunately.

 

[wookie130]

Neither time, Nicki? You really need to get that info from the ultrasound tech next time, as it's important...it could really indicate which way this could be going for you.

And of course, I hope baby starts to catch up, and have a growth spurt...I'll be thinking of you, and praying.

 

[Nicki123]

They just couldn't tell the heartbeat this time wookie, I'm not sure why. I'm going to call them tomorrow as she did say she was videoing the scan. More waiting...

 

[wookie130]

Oh, I see. Well...hang in there. It's scary, isn't it?

I'm going to continue to hold out hope for you!

 

[BeachChica]

Oh no Nicki!!! Saying lots of prayers for you!!! I can't remember if you had any of your previous MCs tested? Will you be able to get medical care if needed where you are going?

 

[ayclobes]

Nicki - really hoping and praying for you! i had an internal scan at 7w1d with this baby, and we were able to see the hb at that time, im not sure why they didnt tell you what the heart rate was?!

Monro - yes, it was a great scan i'd say. In my edd thread, there are equal boys and girls coming in february..so im not sure?!

 

[Emmediva]

Nicki, I'm sorry you had that spotting. I hope you get some good news at your next scan. I know how frightening this is for you I am praying and crossing my fingers so things are ok with your lil bean.

 

[Sooperhans]

Hi Nicki and everyone

I am holding out hope for you, sorry you are having such a worrying time Have a lovely holiday and chill out while you are there xxx

Sorry, this is fleeting as I'm quickly on the laptop (phone still in repairs)....just to update you, I've done 2 tests - one on Wed AM (12 dpo) and this morning (14dpo)....and nothing. Hmmmmm. But no sign of AF either. Hmmmm. I'm going to get another test today and maybe do one on Sun? Hope AF doesn't arrive first.
