I agree with you Lee - I am an 8dpo on a Superdrug gal, but I guess everyone is different.

Davies - How did your appointment with Mr Rai at Zita West's clinic go? I don't recall reading an update but apologies if you have updated and I missed it...

Freaking amazing.

I am so sorry to hear that. I'm sorry if you have already told us but since I don't remember: have you ever had any tests to investigate your losses?

 

[Lamburai1703]

So sorry Nicole. I wish there was something I could say.

hi, i'm new here and just had my 4th m/c last week (3 in the past 15 months), have no living children and turn 36 next month (totally depressing).

I do have mthfr A1298C heterozygous which is the least harmful kind and i take 4 mg folic acid/baby asp and prenatal vitamins daily, - for WAY too long now to not be preg...really sick of taking all that stuff. I also take Vit D which was low on my test.

what's strange is that all of my m/c have happened before any heartbeat or anything normal was formed. 1st was blighted ovum, next 2 chemical (m/c and hadn't had internal u/s to even see if there was anything) and the last had an abnormal sac and she couldn't quite tell what was in it as it didn't look right, she thought it could have possibly been 2 but couldn't tell. does anyone know anybody in a similar situation?

I've looked online for hours and can't find anyone with only very early m/c's that has no children. everyone seems to at least gotten to a heartbeat stage before m/c (which would maybe be even more awful). It leads me to believe that my immune system is attacking it?

i'm going to talk to my RE on Sept 8 and I got copies of everything I've been tested for and printed out everything I want to make sure I get tested for if I haven't been.I'm just at such a loss and extremely depressed, I don't know what to do anymore but I cry most of the day and night.

thank you girls for being here for me.

I had a HSG and because my right tube wasn't full open, it was the worst pain I can remember and I begged them to stop, right in the middle of it - my friend had it done though and it didn't hurt like that for her.

I'm going to hopefully start trying again late in Sept, I have follistim this time w/ovidrel trigger as with this last pregnancy, bfp showed up 17 days piui and I had already got the follistim as I really didn't think I was pregs and got bfp a few days later. I also take progesterone suppositories and my progesterone has been great since started on clomid in May (took clomid in May, June, July)

me 35, dh 33, fine, 4 unexplained m/c's and no kids yet, 3 rounds clomid, 1 iui (bfp with iui and m/c). heterozygous mthfr A1298C, otherwise fine

Hi hopeful. So very sorry that you find yourself on this thread, but all the ladies here are lovely and very knowledgable and supportive. I would recommend reading a book called "is your body baby friendly" by Dr Alan Beer (I think) as this explores immune issues and might help point you in the direction of where to go for further testing and potential treatment for NK cells. Good luck.

Hi Hopeful

Firstly, so sorry for your loss.
You sound very similar to me. I have had 6 early miscarriages and 3 chemical pregnancies. The only time I ever got a heartbeat was when I had my ectopic prgenancy at the beginning of the year, which resulted in me losing my tube.

I am 38 and no children. I seen Prof Quenby a few months ago who thought that this would point to elevated NK cells (as Lambs says above) and prescribed me steroids, I went on to have another chemical, but I'm still optimisitic.

You can google NK cells, Alan Beer, Shehata and Quenby which should give you some good background info.
I would suggest starting with tests. Hope you find this helpful.

Ladies, i am pee'd off, just had a mge from Shehata's clinic to say I have my re-scheduled appt on 6 Sept, I can't make this date again
I'm going to call the clinic tomorrow to see what they can do for me also can anyone tell me if Shehata conducts biopsy on first appt.

Lambs, I def think I am out, AF is on her way I can feel it. I'll do one more test tomorrow then I'm off the steroids. I find Superdrug better than FRER and much cheaper too.

Thank you Davies, I love your optimism

Nicole So sorry for your loss also.

thanks! I am going to get that book this afternoon I wish Alan Beers was still alive, I was reading some great postings about him yesterday from 06 and then found out he died of a heart attack that same year.

 

[Lamburai1703]

Lee, shehata doesn't do a biopsy at all. Just blood tests. Sorry for the short response but i'm on my phone and its a pain!

 

[daviess3]

Hi Ladies Lamb i didnt end up going to the clinic i actually changed my appointment i really wanted to be tested for nk cells and when i called to ask the price of this i was told thats not a test raj would do! But they have a new doc starting sep called George Nwaki (something like that) He is a specialist in auto immune nk cells rec mc etc etc so as much as i wanted my appointment now I thought seeing as i was paying I was better to wait!! Thanks for asking though hun i have about 3 weeks to wait!!

Leec im cd2 trying to decide whether to take clomid this month!! Didnt last month and i didnt ov!! Its the only thing that makes me ov!! Sooo dont no what to do for the best! x

 

[petitpas]

Davies, I'd go for it

Hopeful, from what I've learned being heterozygous with the mthfr gene is pretty harmless and in my opinion does not explain your losses (though taking extra folic acid like you do is a good idea). I take it you are in the States? I believe that some IVF clinics follow the steroid treatment according to Dr Beer's plan and have seen some of the US ladies on here swapping names. Maybe if you can give an idea of the area you are in someone can help?

Nicoleole what horrible news! I am so sorry for what you must be going through right now

Like Lee, I will be testing last time tomorrow before stopping the steroids.

 

[daviess3]

Good luck for Tom petit how many dpo r y? X

hi petit, yes, I'm in the states, in MN, I just got Dr beer's book and will be reading tonight. i really don't want to do IVF, the clinic I go to does specialize in infertility but they don't do IVF, just IUIs. I know an IVF clinic that got 2 people that I know pregnant, but they each spent around 40K USD.

I seem to be able to get pregnant with IUIs as got preg on 1st IUI, just can't keep it going. IVF is just so much money, I wouldn't care if I spent the money and got loans, sold my car, etc but DH doesn't want to.

 

[petitpas]

I'm 10dpo, possibly only 9dpo. Tomorrow I will use the second Sainsbury's test and my last 25miu IC. I've ordered a new stock of my favourite 10miu ICs for my next cycle.

Good luck to Lee and everyone else in the tww fxfxfx
