Recurrent Miscarriage Thread

[ClaireH]

More exciting news on here for me to catch up on.

Congrats on the new BFPs - keep your fingers crossed for me next week! And brilliant news from Stardust. I dream of reaching the magical 12 weeks.

Lee, I am delighted you got the prescription from Dr Q. Keep positive - we know this treatment works and I am so thrilled everything is coming together for you. Will be thinking of you as you go through the first nerve-wracking weeks. I am actually incredibly jealous, I wish I was you right now!

After my knockback for referral to Dr Q, docs have decided that I can see here after my next MC - way to fill me with confidence docs!! But at least I have progesterone now and I have read alot about the huge differences it makes. I'm still pushing for referral to Birmingham so we'll see. I know doctors see this all the time, but this is my life and I am so fed up with having to beg for help. If I wasn't a bit preoccupied with trying to have a baby, I would seriously consider retraining to become a MC specialist doctor!!!

Thank you Clare, I have dreamt of this moment for nearly 2 years. I still cannot believe I made it. Its still surreal and I know its early days but for me I just feel that I have hope again.

I wish every single one of you the same!! I want us all to get our precious babies

Congrats LeeC and all the BFP and happy scan news!

Lee congrats on your BFP and so pleased that you had a good app with Prof Q. Have you managed to read her writing I had over 20 pages in my green notes because her writing is so big and she doesnt believe in lines lol.

Hope this is rainbow baby x

I'm so sorry your not getting your referral, some Drs can be such shits. I know what you mean about becoming an mc doctor, I have to explain things in simple terms for my DH & mum otherwise they look at me like I've gone mad when I start talking about tests & results.

Well I went for my scan today & after waiting an hour (nearly wetting myself by this point) I was scanned internally which meant an empty bladder & we got to see our OL with a hb & measuring perfectly for my dates. They couldn't tell me where the spotting came from but my uterus has no blodd in it & my cervix is closed, woo hoo. So now we have 2 gorgeous pics of our baby which we've nicknamed Iri. I know it's still early days but I'm feeling a hell of a lot more positive now, just keeping everything crossed still.

& to all

9babies you posted while I was typing.

Congrats on reaching 6 weeks & 1 day, how are you feeling? Gonna keep my fx'd for you for the next 7 weeks, I can imagine how on edge you must be feeling, I'm just hoping I get to my next scan in 21 days without any more mishaps, then I'll feel safe (I hope I will anyway)

 

[stardust22]

9babies and Lynnb this is absolutely fantastic news!!! I am so glad to see some happiness here.

I made it to 13 weeks and I am starting to relax, I know I will never totally be at ease with pregnancy but Its definately a great start.

Hi all, its my first time to visit the site and I thought I would sign up. I am lying in bed currently mc-ing
I mc'd twins at xmas and decided best thing to do would be try again straight away.
This pregnancy I should be 13wks this week.
All mc were confirmed by ultrasound and I decided to complete my mc at home, which was tough but I am glad to have had something to bury.
Right now I am just keen to try again asap, my other half not so sure, he thinks its too hard on me.
Its a comfort to read all your stories and know im not alone

 

[daviess3]

So sorry Ruby my thoughts are with u xx
Stardust lynn an 8babies congratulations ladies so so happy for you did you get different meds this time etc??
I had my internal scan today an apparently all looked normal! So thats one thing ruled out im scared now incase they say everythings normal!! An i walk away with no reason!! X

 

[ClaireH]

Welcome, Ruby. Sorry you are joining us but you are most definitely not alone.

Davies, I've had every test under the sun, some twice, and everything normal - official plan of action "just keep trying". It's good to know there is nothing wrong (that they can find) but extremely frustrating that there is no solution. So, I am pleased your results were negative but I do share your disappointment that no one has any answers.

Take care xx

 

[lynnb]

Welcome Ruby1, so sorry for your losses My DH says he thinks the mcs are hard on me too so I think it may be their way of not pushing us to do something that could potentially hurt us emotionally & physically.

Daviess3 - great news about your scan, you must be relieved What's the next step for you?

I have a slight clotting issue, which I've been told is not enough of a problem to have caused my mcs but I'm not taking any chances this time, so I'm taking aspirin every day & mother to be multi vits & omega 3.

 

[daviess3]

Thanks ladies i am waiting my consultant appointment now my blood test results should be back from london in 2-6 weeks from now an then its waiting for the appointment!!! Im so impatient!! xx

 

[padbrat]

Told ya Lynn... my hoping always works for everyone else.. fab news hun!

Lynn, Claire and Ruby I was told all along that my translocated chromosome would not cause m/c just severe disability... guess what tests back from baby 5 and it was a son and it has be confirmed he died from inheriting my translocated chromosome...

Sometimes I think it is a case of specialists giving it their best guess... or at least I think that was what happened in my case.

 

[LeeC]

Hi Everyone.

Thank you for your well wishes. I will type up a more comprehensive email later in the week (working at the moment).
Just wondered if anyone could give me some advice.
I am taking 400mg twice daily progesterone and 20mg prednisolone which I strated when I got my BFP, along with 75mg aspirin and 400mg folic acid.
I figured this covers every base, however I have started have a brown show this morning and have had an awful buring sensation in my back as per usual in early pg.
I know there are a few of my fellow friends on here that take progesterone/prednisolone and was wondering if anyone had had brown spotting early on.
I'm praying all is ok, called EPAS who can do Beta blood work but can't get to hospital and gp isn't being very helpful in getting me an appt to get bloodwork done there.
I will need to go in for scan next week at approx 5 weeks 3 days.

Any help appreciated x.

 

[LeeC]

Ruby just wanted to say so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs xxx.

 

[Lamburai1703]

Lee - I take progesterone and prednisolone and have never experienced any spotting. In fact, even if the pregnancy is failing progesterone will usually delay the bleeding. I hope with all my heart that everything is ok for you sweets. How early have your losses been previously?

 

[lynnb]

LeeC - I had spotting on Sat & Sun, which turned out to be nothing. Hoping that yours is the same.
