Recurrent Miscarriage Thread

[kelly1973]

Hello Ladies,

not much going on here. Still waiting for my HCG to go back to 0. Fortunately they went form 120000 to 19000 in one week. I should have another blood test this week to see if the trend is still the same. Still waiting to bleed Fortunately they did vacuum aspiration and most of the product of conception were removed. I have an appt. tomorrow. The genetic testing of the product of conception should be in. I am a bit nervous. I will also ask the doc to get me and my fiancee tested for genetic translocation (I think) no matter what. I want to cover all basis.

Kelly how are you doing?

Congrats GingerP!!

hello to everybody!

Hope that's just fantastic news bloody marvellous .....
My oh is exactly the same I don't even mention ttc as he has real problems with this I got to the point I started to resent him as every time my fertile window came up he couldn't dtd in the end I just kept quiet and it seemed to help
Afm going into a different hospital to have a scan then to book in for d and c just want this over so I can move forward feel like it's been forever I started bleeding last night so things are starting to happen strange how it made me feel seeing the blood after all I know what's happen it just kind made it real

Kelly I can't believe you are still waiting for your d & c; the situation is beyond ridiculous. I was thinking of you & hoping you were recovering from having finally got one.

 

[floridamomma]

Hugs Kelly. I hope they get in and you heal quickly.

So I had it was quite an event you're getting to the office this morning the recurrent miscarriage office is probably a half an hour drive for me but I missed my exit and actually had to drive into the next city and then make a U-turn and go all the way back so 30 minute drive took me about an hour but is actually nice to call my nerves. During the scan they saw one 14 follicle on the left ovary and multiple 12 MM follicles on The right. The one on the left is going to mature they're hoping that a couple on the right will continue to grow as well. They grow about 1 to 3 mm per day so there's a chance I'll have a couple going. I do the trigger tomorrow night at 10:30 PM and then IUI why is Friday morning at 10:30 so this is it I guess the countdown is getting real now.

[eabwhab]

Hope, congratulations, fantastic news.

Kelly, glad to hear you finally got it scheduled. Best wishes.

Florida, good luck with your iui. Fingers crossed for you!


As for me, genetic testing on product of conception inconclusive due to maternal contamination. I am so disappointed. I wanted some answers so badly. I have finally started bleeding and cramping quite badly. I hope this will be over soon and my uterus will be clear.

Hello everybody!

 

[floridamomma]

I'm sorry eab. Are you going to have any testing done on yourself?

 

[blueblue]

Hope - congratulations, I'm so happy for you

Floridamomma - sounds like he's scared of another loss? Glad you could talk about it in the end . The tracking is quite stressful, I'm having to do it at the moment but I wouldn't choose to. I can see why all the pills make you feel like a lab rat . Like SweetV all my pregnancies have come from months where I haven't tracked but have been aware of the rough time frame before ovulation and just been sponteneous in that time.

Kelly - good luck for today

 

[floridamomma]

That's the worst part. we have never tracked. we tried OPK's one time and it drove me crazy I never did it again. every time weve gotten pregnant we know the fertile window but we never know when I ovulate. knowning when they're going to induce ovulation has been so stressful for not only him but me. I really sometimes wish we wouldnt have done it this way but it's our best chance to have them fully monitor this cycle and get this baby full term. They say they want to check my progesterone one week from the IU why but I think I'm going to ask for a progesterone supplement from the day of ovulation it make me feel better

When it's your best chance, you have to go for it but it doesn't stop it being hard to deal with. It makes you think about it all the time . I would probably ask for the progesterone from ovulation day too. Good luck

Confuzion - I hope everything is going well for you?

eabwhab - sorry to hear about the testing . I hope it's all over for you soon, look after yourself

It's so true I literally think about it every second of every day.

I just gave myself the Ovidrel injection. So the Iui is Friday morning I'm going to ask her for just around the start that day and also start the Lovenox that day if I get the time off of work for Valentine's Day weekend my husband and I are actually going to book a last-minute cruise is going to be a three day is actually going to be quite team will be gone from Friday to Monday and is actually the weekend that we will be finding out if were pregnant not so either way it be a nice break

 

[floridamomma]

I'm supposed to ask my doctor on Friday the name of the specials another state for one of the girls on here and I can't remember which state she lived in

 

[eabwhab]

I'm sorry eab. Are you going to have any testing done on yourself?

yes, I have talked to a reproductive immunologist and sent blood sample. I have a follow up consultation in 10 days to see if anything came up. Fiancee and I have already got blood drawn to have our kariotype checked. That will take some time. 4-6 weeks. BTW it was me, I think, that you were going to ask about. I live in Oklahoma.

Other than that, I am feeling extremely down. HCG still at 9000, although they have gone down from 120000 two weeks ago. So I guess that is fine.

What if nothing comes up with the testing? Should I really go thrugh another IVF?

What was your diagnosis?

BTW very best wishes for your IUI!!!! oh, and enjoy the cruise

Eab i'm so sorry that you're still going through this is there a chance that you haven't passed everything?
I will ask tomorrow when I go. I actually still do not have a diagnosis I guess technically its secondary infertility because I've had children and now I can't but they haven't diagnosed me with anything.I've had pretty much every test you can have the only thing left that I could possibly look into is immunological testing other than that I've had testing done even as far as thyroid antibodies and everything has come back normal for me. If nothing comes up with the test I'll tell you two things you feel blessed because you know that you're healthy but you'll be so upset because I can't tell you how many times I prayed for something anything that could explain why in the world my body isn't doing the one thing that women are made to do. if you should go through the ivf again? that would have to be a personal decision because you're putting so much into it so much of yourself you're putting yourself at risk to be hurt but you're also putting yourself in the position to take home a beautiful rainbow baby. for me with the IUi I know I've had five miscarriages I'm not sure if you're religious but right now I'm counting on my faith and also the fact that we do have a totally different protocol actually for the first time I have a protocol. So I'm holding onto that it's taken another leap of faith my last miscarriage was the last week of August last year so it's been about four months sense then. Honestly I just had to step out on faith I'd be lying if I said I'm not afraid. And trusting my doctor to have my best interest at heart and just pray that we will take our rainbows home. I'm so sorry you have to go through this but I am here anytime and I do believe that you have your rainbow I believe that we all will, take some time for you and your fiancé let your heart heal a little bit it'll never heal completely but give yourself a little time to miss your baby and then think about if you guys want to do it again. I know that there are people who have had more than one IVF and had it be successful after a mc. but it will make you feel better if you get all the testing that you can't before you try again we did that when we first went to the doctor the first day he wrote up for every test that I haven't had anyone he wanted to recheck. Sorry so lengthy and I'll be keeping you in my prayers and thoughts

I had a follow up with my RE this morning with regards to the hysteroscopy that I had in December. She indicated that due to my multiple miscarriages and still birth that she does not recommend that I try to get pregnant naturally as it looks as though my body will not hold a normal pregnancy. She is recommending that I try IVF with a gestational carrier and it will probably cost me upwards of $20,000. I'm so frustrated as I am not even sure now why we went ahead with the surgery. . I was told that everything looks great. Uterus has been cleaned out, no fibroids, polyps or adhesions and tubes are open with a great egg reserve. She is worried that if I do get pregnant it will be another D&C as I do not miscarry naturally which will lead to further adhesions. As much as I really, really would like to have another baby I think this may be the end of the road for me.
