iv come to terms with my TTC issues and am moving into here if u will have me :(

[Charliemarina]

i posted this thread in secondary infertility also to see if any of u wonderful and brave ladies are in the same position here is my thread....

please excuse the LOOOONNNNG thread

ok so as much as I don’t want to admit it to myself I belong in here now , so id like to introduce myself to any of u who don’t know me yet.

im 26 with 2 children, Charlie 8 and Marina 2 and half, we live in London UK and have been trying for baby 3 for nearly 2 years now

here’s my story...........
when I was just 15 I was told due to a medical reason when young that I wouldn’t be able to CARRY babies, this turned out to be very untrue when at 16 I found out I was pregnant with my son at 15 weeks, yes 15 weeks due to af type bleeds for first 3 months, I was elated , had every test and check done and they said he would and should do fine….he did and is now 8 years of age, after he was born (via c-section) they said that to scrap what I was told clearly I CAN have babies

Then in year 2007 I fell preg with my daughter and after only 3 months trying and she was also born big and healthy on time like her brother was (c-section also)

Then in nov 09 I found out I was pregnant again but this time it was not planned but we were very very happy and knew this was what we wanted….this happiness was short lived sadly as at 6-7 weeks I had my first ever MC

After this we knew we wanted another baby so started to actively try.
Then about 2-3 cycles after that I got preg again we were so happy, this time everything felt right I mean I was sick as a dog, we got our 12 weeks scan date and ran to the hosp we were so excited to see bean….but again this was short lived…..we found our baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks but had failed to detach from me , I was offered a medical way via pills to expel my baby but I just couldn’t face that….well if im honest I wish I had now….I opted for the D&C….it went totally wrong and made me very sick, im not going to go into the whole scary story for simple reason I do not want to scare anyone out of having one done there normally VERY good ops and what happened to me is VERY rare and also this thread would be twice the essay it already is

So I had the D&C done and was sent home to recover…BUT for the next 6 weeks things would just go from bad to worse, lets just say I ended up being rushed into hops 6 weeks after the D&C to be given an ERPC to save my life and womb

So since then it’s been a year and a half, iv suffered another 2 MC (both natural and early) and 2 chemical pregnancies last one being 2 cycles ago.

I’m now being tested for PCOS (mild) as I have late ov and sporadic cycles as well as the MC’s to look into……..but if honest i think it something bigger than Pcos but then thats just my gut feeling.

Ok so that’s me and my crappy life right now, I ov’ed cd19 this cycle and am now 6dpo so fingers crossed ay…ha ha yeah right

I cannot wait to get to know u girls and hope u don’t mind me coming into ur space, if any of u feel I shouldn’t be here please do tell me and I will buzz back off to TTCAL its just if im honest TTCAL is no diff from TTC section. I need reality not people testing at 4dpo and asking if there preg , sorry that must sound so harsh but I just cant take all that anymore its not realistic.

Thanks for listening girls

Hi honey
Welcome! But also sorry that you're here. Of course you're welome to join us
I know exactly what you mean about the ttc section. It gets too much with people testing really early and panicking over every sign and sympton! It doesn't sound harsh to me at all!!
Have you had any tests into why you have had so many MCs? It sounds really traumatic to have gone through all that.
Good luck with your pcos tests. Hope your stay here is short and you soon get your bfp!

Hello!!!! And welcome welcome!!

You'll find lots of people in very similar circumstances to yourself in here, and we're always pleased as punch to see someone leave us (obviously to move to first trimester!!!!)

hi Charliemarina - welcome - I think we've been chatting before in the TTC section - i moved over here a long time ago cos I felt the same about the TTC section (it just wasnt for me anymore).

I really home your stay here is short and sweet - unlike my own!!!

I feel for you - you really have been through alot with all the MC etc.... - i hope you can get some answers as to why your having these Mc's . Have you ever looked into Acupuncture? It might help - there is a great book called the infertility cure by radine lewis which I found really interesting.

Anyway i'm sure I'll be seeing your posts around the LTTTC section - so talk soon.

thanks millions girls so glad u dont mind me being in here.

they actually think the MC's is just a run of bad luck but im not so sure but they said if my PCOS results come back positive then they will send me for a scan and have that checked, as well as a good look for anything else out of the norm, im happy with what they want do do for now just a waiting game for now like always, but we trying still in the mean time u never know we may get lucky for first time in a very long time.

Hi Everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself. We have been trying to conceive for over 2 yrs and are based in Germany with the British Army. I am and have been on medication for PCOS for the past 6 yrs and had a lap 3 yrs ago to remove adhesions. Had another lap and hysteroscopy friday over here and now both tubes are completely blocked and closed on both sides so there is nothing more they can do for us over here. We are now on the waiting list for IVF and we have to go to Hammersmith in London for the treatment so fingers crossed they will let us fit it in with operational tours to Afghan etc. Fingers crossed for everyone and I hope that we will all have our little miracles at the end of this long and emotional process xxx

Mine were positive and they put me on metformin to control the insulin resistance that the ovaries produce. They seemed quite shocked as I was not showing physical signs of PCOS but that was due to a strict calorie controlled diet on my part. I always ovulated but like yourself, was always late ovulating...found this our through tests and follicle scans on days 10, 12, 14, 16 and usually because of late ovulation...day 18 and 20 of my cycle x
