Leinzlove's Bump Friends (14 Blue, 12 Pink, 8 Angels) 25 BORN!!

[Madrid98]

We all do the testing like crazy in the first few weeks!!

If your mc was late in the 1st tri most probably it isnt a progesterone issue. I had my mc's quite late too so I think that's not the issue either but as there's no harm taking it, I was & am until 12 weeks when I'll do every other day until I finish the box.

 

[baileybubs]

Lol, I dont blame you if you have them Madrid! I would too!

I started wondering about baby aspirin too. Anyone on this thread taking that?

 

[Bumpblues82]

Well I'm back on the ward it's all over with x I just got an email from the specialist I went to see in Coventry who did my biopsy as I emailed her to tell her what happened and she said despite my normal biopsy results that she would give me the steroids for the nk cells and heparin just incase next time I'm pregnant as well as progesterone again my dilemma is do I try it and risk another mc? Or go for one last shot as we have nothing to loose if u get my drift we would still be in same position we are now if it didn't ??

 

[baileybubs]

Well it all depends how you feel mentally and physically bump, maybe you should give your body a rest from ttc and pregnancy and get all your health up to 100% so you are ready to give that one last shot the best shot you can.
I couldn't really say what I'd do as I have no idea how you have managed to stay so strong through all these losses, but if you feel it's worth one more go then do it. If you feel you would regret it forever if you didn't.

I don't understand why your specialist didn't have you on all these things this time though after so many losses?

I started wondering about baby aspirin too. Anyone on this thread taking that?

Me!!!! I'm taking that as well!! I started every other day after O and then continued daily after the bfp. When I saw the doc and they diagnosed me with the clotting condition I was so relief to have started it so early.

Do you know why you mc last time?

Bump just take your time and think about your options. There's no harm in trying again

 

[baileybubs]

I haven't a clue Madrid, it was just after 11 weeks so I have no idea what would cause it at that stage except just something unfortunate. Sadly I mc'd at home after having medical induction so they couldn't run tests.

I don't know if maybe baby aspirin could help coz all I can think is that it was a problem with the placenta last time maybe and so perhaps blood clotting might be a problem for me too.

 

[baileybubs]

But i know that baby aspirin is not prescribed here in the uk either so if I asked about it nothing would be done for me anyway.

 

[Bumpblues82]

Bailey I'm in the uk and I had baby aspirin it was specialist at my local hospital that gave me it but my doctor said he would aswell I think u just need to find a cooperative doc Hun x if not u can buy it I think x

 

[baileybubs]

I just worry about taking it if my doctor hasnt prescribed it for me because I have no idea what effect it could have. I used to be anaemic too so I don't know if that has any relevance on taking blood thinners like aspirin.

 

[cathgibbs]

Bailey im on baby aspirin, i wasnt perscribed it, i started it after my mc - i told me dr when i was pregnant with my ectopic that i was on it and he said as its only baby aspirin it wont harm me, i got mine from boots hun xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Thanks guys, I might mention it to the midwife tomorrow, see what she says coz I feel like I need to do something!

 

[Leinzlove]

Bump: I would definitley consider giving it one last shot. Your rainbow would be so worth the risk. I'd wait though until you are ready. Theres hope yet, hun.

 

[Leinzlove]

Oh yeah: Where is Mrskg? Looking forward to a booking in appt. update... today! What do they do at that appt.? Bloods?

 

[Madrid98]

Yes, that's what they normally do leinz. Bloods, weight, medical history & waiting for hours in there. They'll book next scan too.

 

[srrhc]

Do you think they will do any blood work with my first ultrasound too? I didn't know if that was a normal procedure or not.

 

[Bumpblues82]

im home with a cuppa my feet up and hollyoaks on xx

 

[lch28]

srrhc in the states if they are going to do bloods it is usually before an u/s (Before a hb can be detected) Since you are getting it around 6 weeks (i think?? lol) they won't think it necessary to do a hcg test once they see the hb. however i think everyone should demand a progesterone test.

[Leinzlove]

I had bloods done at my first visit. It's called a complete OB panel... I'm not sure what all it checks for. I also had a urinalysis. I didn't have any HCG testing. I also had an ultrasound. We didn't go over health history, because he was my Dr. for DD and my loss. You would also need a pap smear at this visit. But, I didn't need one as I had my yearly in December. (Grrr! It does mean I'll have one at my post partum.)

Bump:

 

[srrhc]

Thanks ladies. Is there anything safe to use on your face? I am breaking out like crazy!
