Recurrent Miscarriage Thread

[LeeC]

Hi Lamburai.

I have not been tested for Nk Cells. I did however speak to Heartlands Hospital and explained that I am and have been using progesterone and that I was only interested in getting the refferal if I could discuss the steroids.

I have made them aware that PROMISE trials isn't an option for me, as I already have progesterone and also would not take part in such a trial incase I got the placebo.

I'm like you have tried everything and feel the steroid is my last option, I m/c'd already on progesterone and aspirin.

So, I suppose I'm throwing myself at her mercy to see if I can get the prednisolone as my gp will definitley not prescribe it. I'm a bit apprehensive as I've heard there can be sides, but not sure what other options there are left.

Thank you for the post, I really appreciate it. I will def bear all of this in mind when I go for my appt, then at least I will have prepared myself for it.
It won't stop me crying on the way home though, so it will be a long journey from Birmingham to Glasgow.

I will let you know what happens.

I have to say I think I may have had a very faint BFP today, but may be an evap, AF is due Saturday, so I'll see if I get a darker line in morning.

Thanks again Lambs x

No worries. If you don't have any luck (which hopefully you will) then it might be worth trying to see another consultant locally and discuss it with them. It might cost you a few quid, but they might prescribe them as private people seem more willing to do this.

I hope your feint BFP becomes a full on BFP and this one is your take home baby. I then hope I am not far behind you!

 

[LeeC]

Padbrat. I'm with Lambs too, not sure what to say, but I'll bet your baby boy felt every second of your love for him. God bless you all xxx.

 

[LeeC]

9babies, fx'd for you. Keep us posted xxx.

 

[padbrat]

Thank you Lambs and Lee.... I really don't know what to feel.... I suppose it indicates all my babies were boys, boys run in my HUbbys family. I am happy I know I had a Son, but sad I didn't have him longer... but relieved he didn't feel the pain of the life he would have had if he were born...

Lee fingers crossed the line gets darker x

 

[Tulip]

Deb, I just wanted to pop in and give you all my love xxx

 

[lynnb]

Deb - Nothing I say will make it better, so just going to send you love & hugs

9babies & leec - Fx'd for you both

 

[ClaireH]

No Prednisolone for me for now - referral request declined! My GP is going to investigate why NHS refused my referral. Apparantly because steroid treatment isn't generally accepted treatment they will not pay for the doctors time to see me. Not fair!

So, looks like I am going to have to save my pennies and go private. I don't even know how private works - I suppose I just phone up....

Exciting news, Lee and 9Babies - fingers crossed!!

And Padbrat, maybe our boys are friends in heaven xxx

I think it is good news, that I Feel like throwing up lately.

I hope it is good news. so far, my hcg went from 45 to 52 in two days. I Know it isnt much? I dont know if I should get my hopes up. or not

LeeC... news??

9Babies... fingers crossed for you hun.

 

[LeeC]

Thanks for all the best wishes.
Took another SD ept this morning and another faint line, clearer and came up within about 5 mins but not much darker tbh.
I'm hoping that these lines aren't evaps, I'm going to ask for test tomorrow at Heartlands and then buy a FRER or Clear Blue Digi on the way home if they can't confirm.
I've been feeling sick and dizzy today, but maybe my anxiety screwing with me.
Started taking progesterone last night, didn't take it from Ov this cycle as had really bad bout of thrush

I'm fine thanks Deb, apart from a couple of episodes of nausea & really sore boobies I have no symptoms what so ever, so I don't really feel pregnant. Have my first scan on Monday & can't decide if I'm excited or terrified.

Sending all you lovely ladies &

Hi Lynn.

I don't think I knew you were pg til I seen your post then, I had a break from here for a while, must have missed your fab news. So belated CONGRATULATIONS.
How many weeks are you?

Best wishes xxx.

Thank you. I'm roughly 6+3, so hoping to see LO with hb on Monday. My lines started off really faint on IC, I did a digi 3 days after first IC line & got 'Pregnant - 1-2 weeks' also had a beta HCG test the same day which came back at 336.

What time is your appointment today? Keeping fx'd that your faint lines mean a BFP.

I hope it is good news. so far, my hcg went from 45 to 52 in two days. I Know it isnt much? I dont know if I should get my hopes up. or not

I put this into an hcg calculator online and it gave a doubling time of 230 hours, which is a bit on the slow side to be honest. I'm not trying to give you bad news lovely but I just want you to have all the information available. I desperately hope this one works out for you.

Lynn - Best of luck for the scan. Wishing you heart-beaty thoughts!

LeeC - I reckon you've got a cheeky little BFP there, and I hope the Prof confirms it for you today!

hi ladies, not posted for a few days on here as been unwell

leec - really hope that you get the good news you want. fingers crossed for you. i asked at hospital today about nk cell testing and the dr said i had been tested (they'd done all sorts to me when i had my tests but i didn't think they'd have done that???) will ask my specialist when i am next in clinic.

9babies - i am keeping my fingers crossed so tightly for you, i really hope you have some good news for a change

on my front, my hcg has dropped from 6985 to 3160 in a week, think my body has finally decided to stop holding on and get itself back to normal - been told it may take another 3 weeks but once thats happened, i can move on!

 

[LeeC]

Quick update ladies.

Im on my way home from Heartlands back to Glasgow, Prof Quenby was amazing.
On the down side I think I have major AF cramps
I'll post up everything about my appt when I get home x.

Hi ladies

I hope you don't mind me sharing but I got a BFP on Wednesday. I have been seen by my consultant today and now have the steroids, cyclogest, progesterone and aspirin in my possession. I also had a trans vaginal scan and a teeny tiny area can be seen in my womb currently measuring just 2mm. Was offered beta hCG tests but I turned it down as I know I would stress horribly about the results.

I'm having another scan in a week to see if there has been any growth.

Here's hoping it's fourth time lucky
to all

 

[stardust22]

Lee that is brilliant news about your app - Can tell the positivity in your message!

I hope nobody will mind me mentiioning about my current pregnancy here but I went for my 12 week scan this week (4 previous miscarriages) and everything is perfect. I know its still very early days for me but I have reached my personal milestone and it just gives me hope, hope that I never had before.
