PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Forums New posts
Dh and I had a private reassurance scan. Baby is measuring 11 weeks(I'm 10+6) and was dancing all around. It was amazing to see. You ladies may remember we have never gotten this far with no interventions other than prayer. Still in shock
 
Ladies I am stalking every now and then and so glad you are all doing well.

Afm, will be 3 weeks since my D&C tomorrow. Since a specialist at the Lister and given samples for karyotype testing. Also had OH's sperm fragmentation results back. It's 44%. For anything over 30% IVF with ICSI is recommended in the hope of selecting the best sperm.

If nothing else is found and no issues with me will go for donor sperm (which is an odd concept but I don't want to risk IVF and still end up with an MMC because of the DNA fragmentation)
 
So excited for you Florida!! Passed your milestones right?!

Sweetkat - glad you have a plan in action. Hope you are healing okay (mentally and physically) after the D&C
 
Thanks ladies!
Sweetkat- :hugs: hope you're taking time for you. So no matter what you're going with donor sperm?

Newly- yes we have never made it past 8 weeks so this is just amazing. The baby was so beautiful. I still have a scan in 2 weeks. Then I plan to get one at 16-17 weeks before my 20 week anatomy scan.

Florida, so glad you are past the hard weeks and hopefully all will go smoothly now.

DH is on strong medication which I think is causing the fragmentation. Had it been just random, he could have tried vitamins/ anti oxidants, but as is I have read articles to say it won't make a difference. Before the first MMC he was off it for 3 months (sperm production cycle) and I still had an MMC. With our DD he was off it for nearly a year. He can't do that now as his health is a lot worse. And I am too scared to try ICSI as they can select the sperm that is normal shape but can't tell what's inside it and he has high levels of moderate fragmentation. So his sperm is good enough to fertilise an egg but the fragmentation is too high for the egg to repair it/ for the pregnancy to progress.

So I think even if there are issues with me donor sperm it is :(
 
Florida, great news!

SweetKat, answers aren't always the ones we hoped for (although i know you suspected this) but at least you can now make an informed decision. Good luck.
 
Thanks for explaining that to me sweetkat. I definitely understand where you're coming from. It's hard at times to get these answers but I'm hoping it'll help get your rainbow. :hugs:
 
I'm in uncharted territory now so it's hard not to be nervous but I'm just hanging on. I have an anterior placenta according to my doctor and my youngest will be 7 on December so I don't even remember when I felt kicks but I plan on getting scans at 13 weeks(md office) 16 week(private) 20 weeks (anatomy scan) we are supposed to announce at 20 weeks. Also thinking of having one at 24 weeks. We still are sticking with being team yellow for now.
 
Florida- Glad all is going well thus far! :)

Sweetkat- I'm sorry. Hopefully you can make an informed decision, and move forward with this. :hugs:
 
:hi: everyone!

It's been a while since I've been on bnb (this lo is taking up all my energy!) but I'm back stalking the threads.

I'm happy to see some familiar faces and some new rainbows!
Florida I hope the next few months are uneventful for you and fly by.
Squig it's so nice to see your rainbow is here!

It looks like I'm back in the parl game. My little man is just under 9 months and I got my bfp last friday. My older guy is 8.5 so it will be really nice to have babies closer in age. I haven't called my doctor yet as it really hasn't sunk in and tbh I'm afraid of what they will say.
 
Sweetv congrats! Were you on a regimen with the last pregnancy? i personally didn't call my dr until I was 8 weeks and scheduled my first visit for the day before 13 weeks. It's all about what works for you
 
I was on progesterone, aspirin and antibiotics for my last pregnancy. I've just accepted a new position at work come September and I want to let them know before that that I don't think they want to train me if I'm leaving again so soon but I'm afraid to say anything incase things don't work out. I think I will go to the doctor next week so I can at least make sure things are progressing as they should.
 
Sweetv-first off congratulations. May I ask why you had to take antibiotics with your last pg? I'm still trying to figure out the cause of my rec losses so just like to know what worked for other people.

Thank you!
I tested positive for ureaplasma and I was on antibiotics for 7 days. Tested again and still positive so I was on antibiotics from 20-32 weeks. They don't know the correlation but they find that some people with positive results have a risk of preterm labour. Since they couldn't determine what happened when I went into spontaneous labour at 25 weeks previously it was just a precaution.
 
Sweetv- Id go so you can get the medication you need. You don't have to tell a job right now how soon did you think you would have to leave?

Last year they wrote me off work at 17 weeks. I think I'm going to call tomorrow morning to at least get a dating scan as my dates don't line up at all (my lmp is the end of May and we didn't dtd at all until almost the end of June...?). I will be going back to the same high risk clinic after 12 weeks which is right when I'm scheduled to take the new position. I feel bad as one of my very close colleagues pulled some strings to get me the new job so I feel like I owe it to her to at least be honest (she would also be my new boss), that way she can look for a replacement if they don't want to train me.
 
If they are going to put you off work that soon I would do the same. Either way I'm happy for you.
