PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[heart tree]

Thanks Hopeful. I keep thinking that they would notice something wrong, but am still nervous. Mandy said they never picked up anything wrong with hers until her NT scan though she did say the equipment wasn't very good. I know the machines they have used with me are very good. Deep down I feel like everything is ok. But the PAL side of me is going to be terrified until I get the results. Monday can't come fast enough.

Can't wait for Croy's scan too! And I hope Sunny's went well. I hope she will update today.

[bumpyplease]

Sorry Mandy just read back and saw your post. I'm so sorry honey thinking of u xxx

Welcome Pretty! Of course you are welcome here. I can't imagine that just because you had one baby you won't have all of the same fears that you had after all of your losses. Once you've had recurrent losses, you are in the club as far as I'm concerned. Congrats on the new pregnancy!

Mandy, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news
I do think it is worth you taking progesterone from ovulation next time you try. Hopefully you can speak to a specialist before then and they will be able to prescribe it for you

Fili, I have heard a few times that not only do many hospitals not follow proper testing procedures for APS but that St Mary's also have stricter guidelines as to what they consider a problem level. So that might explain why you tested negative before. Also, the levels fluctuate so they might be higher now...
It is great to possibly have a diagnosis now

Davies, beautiful scan picture! congratulations!

 

[petitpas]

Pretty, I agree with Embo. This is the right place for you to be! Welcome

Hiya pretty!:wave: great to see you! I hope this one is your second forever baby . Of course you're welcome here x x x x. Did you get diagnosed with a blood clotting problem a St marys too?

Davies, soooo happy for you, definitely a boy!!

Girls what shall I do? I have a results appointment in the middle of march, which could be the very day I find out I'm pregnant if we try that cycle (1st cycle after mc and id be 10dpo). Im going to take aspirin and heparin anyway but there will be 2 possible outcomes from this meeting:
1. The second result is abnormal and I have antiphospholipid syndrome and need the blood thinning drugs as above.
2. The 2nd result is normal so they will make me wait another 6 weeks for another test. If that comes back abnormal I will be given treatment but if only the 1 out of 3 is abnormal they will send me on my way to ttc and I would have wasted all that time!!
I think I should get pregnant and do the aspirin and heparin anyway!! What do you think?

Hi ladies haven't caught up yet? Is anyone good at nub theories?? Anyone know where nub is lol?? That big thing that looks like a willy?? Coz sornographer said at this stage it's hard to tell coz labia an penis are basically same size at this stage as girls bits are swollen!! X

 

[hopeful23456]

I think you should get preg and do heparin and prednisone at bfp but I'm a drug pusher do them no matter what the test result.

 

[Embo78]

Davies. The nub is that pointy thing with a fork like shape at the end. If its horizontal it's girl if it's in an angle, boy. I'm pretty good at guessing. I can't wait to see if I'm wrong

Fili the aspirin is something you really should take, regardless of results. The baby aspirin is low dose and won't hurt either way. Do not wait for BFP to start aspirin, start as soon as you are TTC.

I don't know anything about heparin so I can't advise you on that. What I can advise you on is intralipids. If you do them again see if you can follow this schedule:

1st IV at 14 DPO of the 1st cycle you are TTC.
2nd IV - Upon BFP consult Dr. to see if you should have another IV right away. If not, get IV no more than 4 weeks from your last.

Continue getting IVs every 4 weeks until your NK cell level drops below 11 or you reach 20 weeks pregnancy, whichever comes first.

I just read embo an if it's parellel with spine which it looks like!! Omg a girl I would be over the moon!! X

 

[jenny25]

Fili with st Mary's I only got one set of bloods done as I got pregnant before the 2nd rest but I was previously diagnosed with aps my results from st Mary's was 7.6 so they made me see the consultant and started me on 20mg of clexaine xxx
