TTC after 2 ERPCs for same pregnancy
Hi Ladies,
This is my first time writing on the web like this and must say it is extremely comforting to know that I am not alone. My best wishes go out to all of you WTTC and TTC.
I two had to have two ERPCs for the same pregnancy.
I went for my 13 week scan. I was told I was carring a baby boy.
We got to see him in a 4D scan and he was sucking his thumb (they can normally only do this at 16 weeks, or so the books say).
The gynea then did the nuchal fold test.
It should have been under 0.3 but instead it was 0.86,
to make matters worse the left side of his heart had not developed.
We were told he would not survive past 6 months in the womb and so we would have to terminate the pregnancy.
On Monday 4th August 2008 I had my first ERPC.
I bled heavily for about 4 days and then continued to bleed for a further 3 and a half weeks.
On the 1st September I went to work in a complete state and could not stop crying. I knew I was morning but I was out of control.
I went another gynea for a second opinion as to what was happening to me and why was I still bleeding.
He discovered a large portion of the placenta was still inside me and my cervix was still open.
I was rushed in for an emergency second ERPC that evening. The bleeding the second time round was only 2 days and then light spotting for another week.
I saw him for a check up on Friday 5th September since I needed to know that he had managed to get everything out.
He then told me that during the operation he had taken a blood test and 4 weeks after my first ERPC my HCG count was a whopping 124,000 when it should have been 0.
He said he suspected the pregnancy may have turned into a Molar Pregnancy and in which case I would need chemo.
I had to wait until Monday 15th September, two weeks after the op to go and get my next HCG count. I was so stressed but......it came back 8.5.
Like all you ladies, I can't wait to be pregnant again and I am also extremely obsessed. The doctor doesn't think I am going to ovulate this month and said even if I do, my lining is to thin to hold a pregnancy but we are doing what married people do and if it is meant to be it will be and if not.....I hope it won't be to damn long until my period comes back so I can start charting and TTC.
I wrote on this site on Monday 22nd asking when AF would come back and then 2 hours later my question was answered and nature helped me to close the door on my loss.
I am so happy that my body is bouncing back and I can start charting again but like a lot of you here, I have know idea what is the correct way to go about it.
When do you think I should start :sex
Some say every day from day 8 to day 15 just to be safe and others say every second day. What do you think?
I really want this to be the month.
Best wishes to all of you out there.
And if any of you are recovering from an ERPC or a misscarraige my thoughts are with you and I believe there is hope for all of us.
