PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

petitpas - thanks for all of the information! My story with the doctors sounds a lot like yours. I think they are running out of things to try for me and have started to feel the same as you, that I will keep having the same thing happen. I think my doctor screwed up on my last D&C and as a result I have no tissue results. It would be good to know if it was normal or another chromosomal problem. I have not been tested for NK cells yet. I have asked 2 different doctors about this and they both say that this test is not useful. I don't know, I may insist on it. Is there a name of the steriod you took? I am looking up everyone's meds :) I am getting more hopeful hearing everyones stories that I may be able to have success myself without having to go the IVF w/pgd route.
 
Beach- if you don't mind just trying things, go on lovenox and prednisone and don't do nk tests to see if you need prednisone, as long as they prescribe it for you. You wean off it over a few weeks and are done shortly after first tri.
It doesn't hurt to just try things as long as your dr is up for it, even though there aren't conclusive studies, there are many girls out there that it's worked for

Hi Smm! I am successfully preg with twins after 4 losses and no children before this, I did iui with stim meds (so i knew i had alot of follicles) and my dad has a twin sister too ( coincidence) ...good luck and let us know if you have questions! I had a lot of pulls and tugs early in first tri, had lots of implantation cramping around 6-8 dpo.
 
Smm, welcome. It's such a scary time. You found the right thread. We have two twin mammas who are doing great right now and the rest of us have singletons, but have all had recurrent losses. We all understand how terrifying this journey is after losses.

Beach, I was only willing to do CVS or amnio if my bloods and NT scan came back with high risks of Down's, Trisomy or other disorders. Luckily, my first and second trimester bloods came back with awesome numbers and my NT scan was also great. I recently had the anatomy scan and all looks really good. I'm so glad I didn't do any of the invasive tests. Like I said, I would have if I got bad results, but I wasn't put in that position, thank god.

Davies, I'm feeling tons of movement now! Little girl was doing all sorts of flips and rolls at 4am this morning. I was so tired, but at the same time could have stayed up all night feeling it. I love it when she moves. Isn't it just the best thing ever?

I had a really nice time at my father's. I haven't seen him since the first day I found out I was pregnant in November so he hasn't seen my belly. One of the first things he did was put his hands on my belly. It surprised me, but it was very sweet. He was genuinely happy and excited for us. I definitely think he has gotten more mellow with age and I think he's going to enjoy this baby more than I thought. And my step-mother is over the moon. She doesn't have any children of her own, so this will be the closest to a grandchild she'll ever get. She couldn't stop talking about her excitement for this baby. It made me feel quite excited and special. All in all, a very nice time with them.

Jen I'm here loitering!! Xx
Hopeful never its the best I get it in day hopeful when I'm eating! Lol! I'm gonna have a lil chunk haha! Doesn't happen at night for me! X
 
Thanks hopeful and heart tree. I just had a terrible dream I miscarried both babies. My mind is really playing tricks on me. I don't go back to the doctor for another week, trying to stay positive. But it is so hard after 2 losses.
 
Smm, I have had loads of weird dreams. I always do when pregnant. They aren't exactly predictive, though :rofl:

Beach, I agree with hopeful. If they won't test (maybe they don't have access to the test, maybe they don't believe in it) then you can still ask them to try just treating you. I was on prednisolone (pretty much the same as prednisone) from ovulation until 12 weeks and then slowly weaned off over the following two weeks (you can't stop cold turkey).
There is a professor here in the UK who is running a trial. Her name is Quenby. Maybe you could print out some info and take it to your doc? She doesn't believe in blood tests, either, and tests by taking a uterine sample for her trial.
I believe her treatment protocol is to start from bfp, which your doc may feel a little more comfortable with.
 
Good luck Jenny!
Hi smm :wave: glad you're finding support on here with the lovely ladies and don't worry dreams don't come true!
I'm getting an ultrasound scan done tomorrow at the fertility clinic. The nurse there thinks it's a bit concerning I've had pain and no period so I'm hoping everything will be ok :cry: and they will tell me my period is imminent. I think they will only do the saline scan of they see anything concerning in the ultrasound. I can't wait for it to be tomorrow now.
