PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[Tasha]

I'd put that question on a more general area if I was you. There's lots of ladies on here still struggling with their journey xx

 

[Tasha]

Oh goodness I'm an idiot I thought this was the recurrent miscarriage thread. Sorry.

In which case that was 36+5 or something? If so its not super early so entirely possible

Cute pic Sunshine, I remember you & can't believe it's been 18 months since your daughter was born!
Not sure about your cycles unless they were longer than about 4 weeks & therefore they went by baby size not LMP?

Sunshine, congratulations, she's beautiful! x

 

[Sweetkat]

Was told yesterday am going through a third MMC . Will have a D&C and will then have tests done. Wasn't expecting third time unlucky.

Good luck with your rainbows ladies

 

[Squig34]

So sorry to hear this Sweetkat. Hope you can get some answers. There is lots of advice on this & the RMC thread if you need it. I had 6 losses before my rainbow - all my tests came back clear but after losing my son, they diagnosed a blood clotting problem so I was on blood thinners for my rainbow pregnancy. Just to give you some hope that it's possible to get there in the end!

The NHS said they would test for blood clotting issues, I am also going to have tests privately.

Sorry for your losses and congrats on your rainbow

We ladies, he arrived at 3:14am. All is well with his legs and he weighed 4kg. Very very tired here

 

[nessaw]

Sweetkat I'm so very sorry. Xx

 

[nessaw]

Congratulations Madrid. X

 

[Tasha]

Kat I'm very sorry. Don't be fobbed off with NHS only do clotting disorders. There's a lot that can be tested for on the NHS which then will leave money for should you not get answers and want further furthering testing.

Congrats Madrid! Delighted for you. 4kg is an amazing weight xx

 

[sunshine85]

Thank you so much for those who remembered me. I have thought about you ladies often. I know some were my belly buddies. Yes, 18 months have flown by, the pediatrician is already asking when the next baby is coming haha but I am just enjoying Milania right now. But we would like to add another in a few years God willing. Hope everyone is doing well. Anyone currently preggo?

 

[sunshine85]

I am so terribly sorry Sweetkat love. I am sending you many hugs during this time. xx

I am assuming they did it just confuses me to pinpoint conception timeframe. I am super anal about stuff like this and my math sucks. Congrats on your rainbow baby I saw one was born this year

So sorry sweetkat check out the RMC thread so much great knowledge there.

Madrid congrats!!!!! Did you end up needing the induction? Rest, eat, and enjoy that new bundle!

I was a Bump buddy sunshine! My LO is 21 months and am expecting baby #2 now!

Thank you for your reply. I have spoken to the hospital where I had my DD and where I am having surgery tomorrow and they said no testing of the father unless it's assisted conception and we aren't entitled cos we have a child together.

Thing is, unless it's sth glaringly wrong with me (which there could be) I think it's his sperm that's causing this but every time I ask anyone (sonographers, consultants they just fob me off and say it's not a known reason for MC). But I read that 30-40% of miscarriages are caused by the man.

And aside from blood clotting and a scan of the uterus, how do I get them to test me for other things? Dr Shehata privately has a list of hormones, autoimmune issues, killer cells etc (like 10 things) and the NHS does one a and no testing of the man? And no karyotype testing

 

[floridamomma]

Congrats Madrid!!!

 

[blueblue]

Sweetkat, I'm so sorry for your loss. Some NHS hospitals do karyotyping (mine does), but not all. They should also test for autoimmune issues like lupus. I hope you get some answers x

Madrid, congratulations! That's a great weight x

Tasha, can't believe he's one already! x

 

[Tasha]

Get a referral to Dr Shehata on the NHS, your GP can do this. He will test everything he would privately but on the NHS except for the man side but then you could do that privately.

I paid for some blood tests to be done privately at st marys and just the karotyping on my husband was hundreds of pounds, in fact nearly £1000.
