A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[lexi374]

Raspberry i found my mw to be crap tbh. With the 1st mc i rang the mw and said i was bleeding and she just fobbed me off, and then said if it got worse just pop up to a and e, which we did in the end. The 2nd time i went to see my gp and they rang the epau and got me an appointment there, and after the 2nd mc the sister at the epau gave me her number and said to ring her directly next time, which i did for an early scan.

If you feel ok waiting then thats fine but if not id bypass the midwife and go straight to your gp xxx

Lady congratulations on a great scan! xxx

Nsn i hope the physical part doesnt drag out too long. Feeling okish thanks, 1st day back after a week off and feels like ive never been away!! Crap! x

Hi Ladies!

Can I join you? First I want to say I am so sorry for all of your losses

I have had 2 MC's in the past 3 months. Just had a fertility appointment with the dr today to try and figure out what is going on. She told me to take 1 baby aspirin a day, 2000mcg of Folic acid/day, and prescribed be 200 mg of progesterone after O.

 

[BeachChica]

Ladyfog - that's great news!!

RM - I can't believe they would not get you in for a scan!! FX that everything is OK

As for me, my cat passed over the weekend so I have been pretty down. I am trying to keep my mind off of it so it doesn't stress the pregnancy but its hard. She had been fighting Polycycstic Kidney Disease for about a year now. So as much as you try to prepare it doesn't get any easier, our pets are like our children. I agree, 2011 has been a pretty crap year so I hope 2012 will be better.

Hope you are all doing well :wave:

Tweak, jw, mpepe, beach, ntat, aj, fili, momy, patiently, nsn, lexi, sorry if I'm missing anyone.

lady - glad you got good news!

rm - sorry but fingers still crossed for you.

afm- I've been on my prog for 3 days now and lets just say it's not pretty. Sorry if tmi but Ive gotten pinkish granules now which I've heard is common but I would love to have a pregnancy with nothing pink down there. I was getting massive headaches, so I'm just taking the crinone once a day. Well just gonna wait out the tww and see what happens but if its a bfn I may take a bit more of a break and start trying again in march after my holiday. On a sad note, my grandmother in Rome may have had a minor stroke so my dad and aunt are flying to Italy on the weekend. I hope she's okay. Any pma or prayers you could send my way would be much appreciated

 

[BeachChica]

Lots of prayers and coming your way mpepe!!

 

[Applejack1]

Hi everyone! I am good! In 2 week wait mode now so went to the city for the night to shop alone ahhhhhhh!!!!! Hope all is well with everyone. NSN I know if I was so inclined I could probably go back and read 50 some pages but maybe just easier to ask what testing you have had done. I am confused the order in which doctors do things. Is it different for everyone or is there an order? I had the laporscopy but wonder where genetic testing fits is and who has had this done???

Lady frog great news! No worries about the "selfish" post. Has far as I am concerned it just helps to give me hope! No doubt I am not the only one on here rooting for you!

 

[BeachChica]

Applejack - I had genetic testing done. So if you have questions let me know. On mine they seemed to do them in stages rather than running everything up front. They start with a few tests that I guess would pinpoint common issues, if those are Ok, they start with a few more tests, this continues until they find something or just chalk it up to bad luck.

 

[justwaiting]

Lady - Congratulations on a successful scan. I'm so happy for you.

mpepe and aj - good luck with your tww. Mpepe those pink crystals sound interesting. hope it's now too bad for you. AJ I have also had testing if you wanna talk.

Never - I hope it's over soon.

Lexi - how are you going?

Beach - My thoughts are with you and your family.

Jaxvipe - Welcome, I'm sorry for your losses. I hope we can be of some help to you. Have you had any testing done?
Also I notice one of your angels dates is 8/13/12. I know dates around the world are different but that doesn't make sense to me. Sorry. Glad u got to see a specialist today, he seems very proactive.

Sorry If I have forgotten anyone not intentional.

afm - just waiting for blood work tomorrow to find out if I'm successful this cycle. who knows!

 

[filipenko32]

Lots of prayers and hugs for you mpepe

 

[Ladyfog]

Morning everyone

JW, good luck this week! Hope the blood tests come back with happy news!

Welcome Jax - sorry for your losses

Mpepe, really hope everything is well in Italy. Lots of PMA for you

Beachchica - so sorry about your cat . I know what you mean about them being our babies - I love my boys so much! We lost my mum and dad's cat (my first cat) in the summer. She was 18 and a half but it didn't make it any easier. Don't worry about stressing - you are allowed to grieve and one of the things about pregnancy is all your emotions are heightened. I have been soooo stressed, and look at me - there's a healthy little bean in there at the mo

Apple - good luck on the 2WW. Lots of coming your way!

Hi to everyone I've missed and any lurkers

AFM. Feeling crappy but in a good way - just want to get through the next few weeks now as know my first little bean died just after 8 weeks so want to get past that. If I still feeling icky then it will give me hope that we've got to the next stage. I know the scan was good, but you hear so many stories of seeing a heartbeat and then the baby dying so feel I can't relax just yet.

 

[Tweak0605]

RM - Hope you're doing okay

Welcome Jax Sorry for your losses, but glad you got in to see a doctor. So glad they are working with you on things!

BC - So sorry to hear about your cat My 2 cats are my babies, and will always be our first children. They are so much a part of the family I can't imagine what it will be like when they pass. Thinking of you

Mpepe - Good luck this cycle - I hope the progesterone does the trick. Sorry to hear about your grandmother. You and your family are in my thoughts

AJ - Another one in the TWW! There are lots of us! Good luck!!

JW - Good luck with the blood work tomorrow!! Have everything crossed!!

Lady - Glad you're still feelin' crappy! In a good way!


Hope everyone else is well


FF gave me cross-hairs and says I'm 6 DPO today. Who knows though. Testing in less then a week, on Monday!

 

[lexi374]

[Jaxvipe]

Applejack1- I had my prolactin level check to rule out PCOS, ever since I got 1 depo shot 3 years ago my cycles have ranged anywhere from 32-38 days. I got the results today and my prolactin levels were at a 16 which they said was right in the middle of the normal range, so that is good news.

I also have to go for a saline infusion sonogram. Have any of your ladies had an SIS done before? Im kind nervous for it.

 

[filipenko32]

Hi Jaxpipe, I'm not sure what a SIS is or why you would have one?

 

[Jaxvipe]

its a saline infusion sonogram where they stick a catheter into your uterus and put some fluid in there and then do an ultrasound to see what your uterus looks like. It is to check to see if I have a bicornuate usterus.

 

[filipenko32]

oh I know what you mean now, I recognise these as aqua scans. Do they have any reason to want to give you one of these? Is there anything they have initially picked up on a normal scan?

 

[Jaxvipe]

no they havent picked anything up on an ultrasound, my last two miscarriages were very early. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in August waited one cycle then got pregnant the next cycle and had progesterone check and it was at 2.1. So we are pretty sure that im just not producing progesterone long enough after O. But they just want to rule everything out.

 

[BeachChica]

its a saline infusion sonogram where they stick a catheter into your uterus and put some fluid in there and then do an ultrasound to see what your uterus looks like. It is to check to see if I have a bicornuate usterus.

Jax - I had hysterosalpingogram (HSG) done. Not sure if its the same thing basically they shoot a dye up there and then xray your uterus to check for blockage and abnormalities. Normally this procedure isn't supposed to be too bad but apparently I am one of the 1 in 10 people that have a bad reaction and pass out.

 

[Ladyfog]

I'm glad I haven't needed anything invasive so far, just blood tests. Jax, it's great that they are looking into so much for you already. My mum has a bicornate womb and so I was concerned that it may run in the family, but I just have a standard one . She had both me and my sister (we just grew in one half so it was a bit of a squeeze!) so you can still have babies even if you do
