[j_1983]

C- so happy to hear!! How u feeling??? Hope it went well!
Has the bleeding stopped?
Hope everyone is doing well and finished their Xmas shopping!!

 

[chistiana]

Hey j! It went really well, much better than Natalia's cerclage! The blood from the abruption did clear before Saturday but now I have blood from the cerclage! But that's normal according to the doc! I wish I had done even the slightest of Xmas shopping..I m on bed rest n have bought absolutely zero!! How do you do your shopping??

 

[j_1983]

Didn't get to do any shopping . Ask family to giver lists back in November so I could do it when I was able to but if course everyone didn't answer so my hubby got stuck buying everything. Had my brother and a friend so he shopping for my gift to the hubby a that worked out well. Sucks being in bed rest right now but I figure it's better to be stuck like this in the cold weather with snow than in the summer ( and we bought a pool to be installed next spring ).

Glad it went well!!! Btw theres a great Facebook group about IC and many have cerclage so it's an awesome group to join if ur interested!!

How's everyone else holding up?? Shopping done?

Merry Christmas ladies!!!

 

[chistiana]

Very merry Christmas my lovelies, May you always have what you wish for!

How did you ladies get them to look into it? Was it obvious on normal scans? I'm curious as we've lost six babies, three later into pregnancy. We have had literally everything tested on myself, husband, and our babies that have died... all normal, including genetics. However, the only thing no one has checked is my uterus. I know my uterus is Retroverted but nothing else.

Radiance, I was just reading your post on parl too. Have you looked at infection testing, I sent a sample of menstrual blood to get tested and I had two infections in my womb

When I was researching the test I came across a lady that 18 failed Ivf tested positive for hidden c, took antibiotics and Ivf no19 was successful

I took antibiotics and my next pregnancy made it to 27w as opposed to the 6w

Radiance so sorry to hear of your losses. Firstly I second what hope wrote...I too was tested for infection (although they came back clear) but think it's vital now as to knowing with a regular scan...probably not. I mean with an internal scan you MIGHT see something but you probably wouldn't be diagnosed...an HSG is one option, hysteroscopy or an MRI. Recently spoke with someone who has 2 kids followed by 2 mcs... Only after her 2nd mc n an appointment with a fertility specialist did she found of her septum. I myself was misdiagnosed for endless years n even after a c section my doc wasn't sure it was a septum or bicornuate uterus (and I had already had a septum resection many years earlier by another doc but my new doc didn't agree with the diagnosis!....go figure)

 

[Hope39]

My uterine anomalie was only diagnosed when I had a recurrent miscarriage scan which was more detailed. However they diagnosed bicornuate . After my 6th mc I had a 3d scan which showed it was a septum. I didn't have an hsg , just internal 3d x

 

[sbl]

Mine was diagnosed via 3d scan after mc and mri.

 

[j_1983]

Mine was only diagnosed after I lost my daughters twin at 8 or so weeks pregnant. crazy what things exist that u don't know about until it happens to u.

On another note failed my 1 hr glucose test yesterday so back at the hospital tomorrow for the 2hr one

 

[chistiana]

Yuk sucks j but good thing is you're quite far along now...sil found out she had gestational diabetes (hopefully you don't but just sharing a really positive story here ) at about 30 weeks or so...she found the dieting thing rather easy n didn't gain much which has left her a skinny mommy only 2 months after giving birth! Obviously she had no troubles with the baby and the gd went away straight after she gave birth! Anyway, hope this doesn't concern you as of tomorrow!

 

[j_1983]

So no need on my results yet for my glucose test as with New Years everything's is under staffed. Besides that my belly has been super sore . Not too sure y but think it's cause I was doing the tests Monday and Wednesday and Tuesday was my app so maybe too much Standing And walking?? Hope it goes away cause it's really uncomfortable

C I am so glad your cerclage went well!! How are you feeling now? I am all moved now but currently living in a hotel until our house is all ready for us. It's such a nightmare but I cant complain..I am living in Hawaii!

They had noticed I had a septate uterus during a trans vaginal US during one of my pregnancies. Everytime I've had to get a US done I've always been reminded of it.

December was the first month we could try again after surgery, I'm now 9dpo so we shall see what happens!! It's so crazy that after a year of surgeries we can ttc

 

[chistiana]

Yaaayyy Jennifer, so excited for you!! Yes, pls don't complain, you re living in Hawaii...try complaining n I ll come over there swap places! Eeeekkkk when r u testing??? I can't wait to here the beginning of a wonderful bfp! Keep us updated missy!

 

[j_1983]

So hows everyone doing? Well apparently I just just just barely failed my glucose test so waiting now fr the god clinic at the hospital to call me with an app regards what to do next .
On another note Brooklyn is refusing to map or nap in her crib! And ten tonight throws a fit when we put her to bed?! What's happening here?? Everything in my house is going haywire! Lol. Need things to calm down and get back to normal and routine. Fingers crossed!!!

 

[chistiana]

Ow dear, first sorry about the gl test, maybe the doc will put you on monitoring or something. Now re Brooklyn, it's so normal if would be weird if it was the other way round! I remember me having a huge belly and standing at 3am at niks door like a bug bad jiant so that he wouldn't come out of his bed! They can feel our stress so they need to react someway even just to get some "normal" yelling! Have you though of putting her in a big bed of not yet?

Hi Ladies! I'm back I'm very sorry to hear of some of the losses that have occurred since I've been away from BnB, but excited to hear of the new pregnancies! We are thinking about TTC this month. I wanted to get an ultrasound done to see the exact condition of my uterus while it was empty but had put it out of my mind for so long that I forgot. It we don't conceive this month I will go for an ultrasound to see if they can figure out what's going on in there.
I hope you all had a lovely xmas and new year!
