Recurrent Miscarriage Thread

[LeeC]

Hi Claire.

I think your next option is joining us down the prednisolone route.
I can give you as much info as you like re my journey so far with this.
It's hard I know, but you've come so far already with all your struggles and the hurdles I know you have had to jump, I really hope (in fact I know) you too will find the strength to carry on.

I am going to inbox you my mobile and if you want to chat on the phone or get together for a coffee and a shoulder to cry on, I am MORE than happy.

Sending you a big cyber hug xxx.

Davies. I hope the clomid does the trick for you, will be keeping my fx'd for you x

Future.

Of course we will all be thinking of you and hoping that the spotting is not sad news for you this time, please keep us all posted and I am hoping you come back reporting good news x.

 

[LeeC]

Pip, sorry meant to say, I hope you are feeling a bit better and that yesterday wasn't too harrowing. I'm glad I can be of comfort.
It's so bloody hard and unfair, but at least we can comfort and inspire each other on this thread.

My HCG was even lower than when I MC the first time - I'm loosing this one too. I'm so sad that this is happening again.

Thank you so much.
I am feeling so pathetic but a little less alone having read all your lovely comments.

Petipas, according to my docs they don't normally genetically test "products of conception" (nice!?) until 4 MCs but I managed to persuade them to test my twins (MC 3) and they also tested MC 5 (#4 was a natural MC and I couldn't bear to collect the little bits myself). And both times the genetics were totally normal. You do find out the sex of the baby though. Fingers crossed for the results you are wanting.

And Lee, I know you are right. I probably will keep going although it really doesn't feel like I can muster the strength at the moment - I suppose I just have to get through this week. Even earlier I was googling acupuncture and MC prevention; I also googled surragacy laws though! I'm going to go back to the GP next week and get her to write again to NHS to ask for the referral to Quenby, and I am going to try to sound out if consultant at local private hospital would prescribe the prednisolone. So, you know me, always have something up my sleeve. At the very least this is all a distraction to stop me thinking about actually having the MC.

Thank you so much for the very kind offer of a coffee and chat. You are an absolute angel. How did I get by before I joined this group?

Right I am going to log off and do something more constructive than just read MC stories. xxxx

Sorry to read of the new losses, ladies. Thinking of you all

 

[petitpas]

Future, so sorry to hear it

Claire. I think that if my results come back normal I just won't be able to ttc again unless something in my treatment plan changes. Either that means upping my heparin dose again (blood test came back that I am slightly below the therapeutic range) or starting steroids. Or both
I hope your private consultant can help you out by prescribing the steroids. He/she wouldn't be the first!

Lee, thanks for asking. Everything went exceptionally well yesterday. My consultant had notified everyone of my situation and they were just lovely. The anaesthetist gave me happy stuff before putting me to sleep, anti-sickness meds (resulting in my first nausea free day in two weeks!), morphine, the lot. I cried when I woke up and a nurse held my hand until I felt better. In the meantime, another nurse was checking on my husband, giving him updates and making sure he was well supplied with tea and coffee. When I got back to my room I ate paté followed by a huge warm chocolate cake. All in all, it could not have been less traumatic and all thanks to the lovely people taking care of me.

Of course recurrent miscarriages can be hereditary. They often aren't but why look for hereditary clotting problems if you don't think it's a genetic problem? Just something to throw back at your doc

Wow, a double uterus! And missing a kidney is a pretty big hit, too Will you be seeing a specialist about this?

Petitpas, thanks for replying.
I've been trying to do as much reserach of my own to throw at my doctor , he admits himself that he is not a specialist.
Im considering myself lucky that I've been referred to the miscariage clinic after 2 and will see people who know what their talking about.
There is something causing my early miscarriages plus on top of that the double uterus means I have two smaller uteruses instead of one big one so higher risk aswell.
Its bizarre, technically I can fall pregnant in both wombs,months apart at different times if the non pregnant one still ovulates.
When I was 8 weeks pregnant last time I had heavy bleeding with clots like a period but the scan showed it wasnt coming from the baby, now it all makes sense it was my other non pregnant womb trying to carry on as normal and have a period.
I've just this week found 2 other woman on here out of everyone on this forum that also have a double womb, its so rare. I should receive specialist consultant care throughout(hopefully). I will find out more at my clinic.
I worry sick that my wombs wont be big enough to accomodate a baby but then I like to reassure myself of the stories online of people that have twins, one in each womb and even more bizarre, a girl in Devon a few years back had triplets. Twins in one womb and a singleton in the other, so if theres room for that theres hope.
I just keep thinking trust me to have the likes of this., more chance of winning the lottery.
I hope you get the results back soon that you are waiting on. Take care xx

Hi all. First time posting in this thread. I just had my 4th miscarriage. Not sure what we're going to do at this point, feels like we've tried everything.

 

[petitpas]

Ohai, I'm so sorry to hear of your losses you say you've tried everything - what kind of testing have you had? Was anything found? Are you on aspirin or progesterone or any other form of treatment?

 

[9babiesgone]

how do you get over this. really. ok I had 10 miscarriages, and my last one, I had to end due to serious health problems, and now I feel even worse than my miscarriages ever did. how do I deal?? I dont know.

 

[coco84]

So much sad news on here

to all the ladies who have had losses.

Well i have an update, i was suposed to be having surgery on 19th with private Dr as he suspects that i have a very small area of ashermans (adhesions) caused by my last D&C. so he was doing a hysteroscopy to remove.

Well i was feeling rather odd last night, got a BFP today at 10DPO totally terrified, not sure how i can cope with another MC

 

[daviess3]

Coco congrats Hun so pleased thinking pos thoughts for u!!!
9 babies I'm so so sorry I don't no what to say apart from u must be an amazing lady for all the sadness that you have had to deal with. It is my due date today for my 2nd mc an I woke up this morning to 3 roses fresh open on my Rose bush! Seems so strange! It's hardly had any on it an to have 3!! 1 each for my angels! X

oh - coco84, I have a friend with this, her uterus is fused together because of previous D&C's. I feel really terrible for you facing the surgery to open it again and will keep you in my prayers.

To everyone - I'm always overwhelmed by the number of losses I read about on here. 9babiesgone - you have my deepest sympathies as well.

I'm on MC #2 at the moment. The good news for me is I visited the Dr. today and for my next normal cycle she's going to prescribe progesterone. So I'm anxious to find out if that will help a baby stick with me. Knowing that we have this next step to take is really helpful to me, but it is going to be hard waiting this out again for 1 cycle until my period resumes and we can try again. I truly hope that the 3rd time will be the charm for me - I think the odds are finally tilting in my favor. Trying my best to be positive about everything.
