It was greatly disappointing. We didn't meet my consultant but one of his colleagues. He didn't seem to have read my file before seeing me so I had to explained from the 1st miscarriage to the 2nd and what had happened. He said with the 2nd pregnancy, the course of actions they took was the general one that usually works, but of course there are exceptional cases like mine.
He said it is advisable to wait for at least 2-3 cycles before TTC again just to let the body settles itself. He didn't offer new options or results. I stared at him blankly and got a bit annoyed. I sort of like snapped at him and said "so what then? Trial and error on my babies?"
He excused himself to call my consultant who is his boss. Said I could make an appointment to see him in 2 weeks' time to discuss this matter in detail. I asked about transabdominal cerclage, which he asked his boss too. He said it isn't advisable for my case because though it isn't conclusive, my miscarriages were more cause by bacteria infection so with the abdominal thingy, should I get another bacteria infection, there wouldn't be anything they could do and it is much harder and slower to remove the stitches.
He also suggested an option that in my next pregnancy, he can see me starting at 8 weeks, do the antibiotics and Progesterone and weekly cervical scans but try to delay the stitch as late as possible to avoid introducing more bacteria. BUT with that said, I was already measuring 1.5cm cervical length with funneling in my 2nd pregnancy. I was only 12 weeks then!
I feel we have no options. NONE.
Hi Zoe, so sorry it didn`t go as well as you hoped.
i think you need to see the proper consultant, at least then he will have answers without having to refer to someone else and relaying answers back.
Don`t give up yet, there is always hope. See the other guy and then take it from there, i am sure there will be something they can do for you, don`t give up yet. Where there`s a will there`s a way.
