Recurrent Miscarriage Thread

[hopefulmama2b]

I have been out of town, but trying to catch up...
So sorry to hear of the new losses. Life is not fair and and it just drives me mad sometimes.

I don't have names, but just off memory...
9babies I was so sad to read your update.

The question regarding the adhesions- sorry I don't have experience with that.

regarding the red blood- same with me. I have never seen red blood except after my first D&C when I had retained product. I know people try to be comforting about the "old blood," but with me brown=BIG problem...and I hate it.

Petit- How have you been? What will they be doing at the appointment in April? I hope you get some answers.

regarding the genetic testing- they are currently testing the fetal tissue for us and depending on those results will determine what the next step is. I'd like to do karyotyping on hubby and I to see if that gives us some insight, but waiting on fetal results first. I think he said if it's a balanced or unbalanced translocation that's bad and then they'll test us?? If it's something like a trisomy I think they are chalking it up to bad luck....really bad luck.

regarding the progesterone- mine is always really high. This time it was 50 at 11 dpo...it makes me wonder if there's any such thing as too high? Anyone have really high progesterone and still miscarrying like me?

Again- so sorry to hear about the new losses.

Hi Ovenbun, do you have an appointment yet? And have you had all the tests?
I'm due to go back there in early April. I hope they figure something out as I can't keep on like this...

No they havn't sent it to me yet and it's driving me mad with waiting, my consultant referred me 5 weeks ago and st mary's they have recieved it. If it doesn't arrive today ill phone again. So no tests yet apart from the ones that my local consultant did but im sure he tested my incorrectly for PCOS they saw mutiple follicles on my ovaries on my scan but he disregarded this because FSH/LH BT result which he took at the end of my cycle and not the begining!!

Fingers crossed for you they give you some sort of treatment it's my fear to go through all this waiting and they do nothing.
let me know how it goes good luck x

 

[ovenbun]

Hi Ovenbun, have you got your appt through, can you post up once you've been as I'd be interested to hear how you get on and what they suggest.
Hope all goes well, it's rubbish you have to wait. I've been playing the waiting game too as an unplanned pg is not an option for me
The rime seems to go so slowly. x

Hi Lee C thank for my post as you can see from my previous post no appt yet, I see you have been advised to have progestrone from ovulation was this from your local Dr? did they find a problem ?

Hi Ladies,

Am being scanned tomorrow at St Mary's by Mr Rai, am shitting myself as I stopped having all preg symptoms two days ago and I'm convinced this is mc no. 6 I know I don't know for sure yet but I strongly feel that this pregnancy didn't last either. 6 isn't normal why the hell does this keep happening?

try not to worry i know thats easier said than done but you don't know anything yet. Also it is common for pregancy symptoms to stop and come back in a different form and stressing wll only make it worse and then you'll blame yourself for being stressed making you more stressed (I'm the master of at that one). I'm sure you know all this but try and take your mind off it until tomorrow fingers crossed for you x

Hey Rabbittchild.
Keeping everything crossed for you.
My pg symptoms did stop for a few days in my last pg, even though it ended in ectopic could be reassuring for you as they did resume before I found out. it's difficult nit to worry but try to take it easy.
I keep asking myself the same question. Why???
I am def not going quietly this time and am going to demand everything I can from my ob on the 16th.
I'm on number 6th myself, and will be number 7 next time without some kind of intervention/medication, surely we all can't be so unlucky!!!
I really feel for you Hun and know nothing will stop you worrying
Wish we could enjoy our pg's like most women, instead of the constant worry.
Will be thinking about you, good luck. Hope this is the one for you xxx.

Hi Ovenbun.
My specialist prescribed me the progesterone, gp was a bit apprehensive but did write my last prescription.
Tbh honest it's more on a may as well try it basis as can't do any harm, and my m/c's always happen in early on.
I've also tried aspirin, this didn't help alone but again I've been told to take on a may as well try basis, plus the progesterone can thicken blood so the aspirin can apparently help as obviously it's an anticoagulant.
First 3 mc's no med. 4th mc 75mg aspirin, 5th mc aspirin and progesterone started 1 wk after BFP, 6th pg aspirin and progesterone started day after BFP, got further than ever in this one and heartbeat, unfortunately ectopic
It's been suggested now that low progesterone is best helped by taking supplement from OV, I'm on Cyclogest 400mg.
Going to discuss prednisone at my next appt on 16th too.
Sorry to ramble, but hope this helps.
If this doesn't work for me and dh, I don't really know what other options there are, so trying to do some further research prior to my appt.
The joys of pregnancy
Here's hoping though, especially as dh doesn't think I can cope with much more as it's been really difficult lately and we've been struggling due ro my erratic emotions, so here's hoping I can hold it together and persuade him to be nice to me
How is everyone else doing?
xxx

 

[petitpas]

Lee, I'm only on my fourth but my emotions have been all over the place, too! The easiest questions such as what do I want for dinner have me completely flummoxed. Honestly, I don't know how my DH puts up with me sometimes!
I'm just about testing negative now (ignoring line eye) so hopefully some of the hormonal factors will be taken out of the equation. I also wonder how everyone else on here copes? What about work?

Rabbit, just wanted to send you some big fat as I know the wait for your scan is going to be hard for you. Just one more sleep, though xxx

 

[LeeC]

Hi Petitpas.
I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling. I just hate getting the negative after it's all over
It really is difficult. I can go from absolute floods of tears, staying in bed feeling like Theres nothing worth getting up for to being the bitch from hell in the blink of an eye.
I'm sure the hormones don't help on top of the grieving process.
I really did think that was it at the weekend and even dh said he didn't think we could carry on going through this!!!
Maybe us crazy ladies should all get together to rant.
I hope you feel better soon too.
Keep your chin up, sending hugs xxx.

 

[petitpas]

Ah, if you weren't in Glasgow and me in the South of England, I'd invite you over for a cuppa tomorrow

 

[LeeC]

Awww Petitpas, I just realised you said you're on your 4th. So sorry, even 1 is way too many for anyone to go through, I feel your pain Hun, it gets harder each time.
Big hugs xxx.

 

[LeeC]

A cuppa wine lol... X

 

[petitpas]

Lee, it's ok. It's almost been two weeks now and I'm still behind you

 

[petitpas]

I can do wine, port, a number of spirits. Just not lager

 

[LeeC]

Count me in

 

[lynnb]

Rabbitt - keeping everything crossed that your scan brings good news & that your pregnancy symptoms come back

 

[LeeC]

Rabbittchild. Just want to wish you well for today. Hoping everything works out. Good luck xxx.

 

[Widger]

Rabbittchild - I'm hoping all goes well for you today. I know how difficult it can be to keep the faith when going for a scan xx

Chilli - Same for you today. Thinking of you xx

Rumpskin - I'm so sorry that you are having to come back to this thread. I'm hoping that one day you will be coming back like me, to support others that are going through it. Thinking of you xx

I've heard that funding of the NKC has been cut in one area which really upsets me as there are many ladies that were on this thread when I started it up that got treated for this and now have a baby. Maybe this is something that you could investigate?

I often think of you ladies on here and just wanted to send and to you all.
