Recurrent Miscarriage Thread

Tracie87 wow wow wow. It's crazy how expensive it is, in a perfect world it would be automatically covered. It must be a man who came up with that price, lol.

Okay now it's just getting hard to keep up with all of us! Sad when you really think about it but like has been said, I'm sooooo glad to have you girls here. It makes this whole experience a lot less isolating.
Widger- sorry about the BFN. That's a bummer and I know that feeling all toooooo well. Hopefully you catch next one hun! FX for you.
Bk- Good luck next week with the specialist. I cannot wait to hear about your journey. Hopefully it'll bring you some much deserved answers hun. I sometimes hate the word 'normal' especially lately. I agree with Widger, it keeps happening obviously somethings broken! I don't know about the dye procedures... I've done the ultrasound to check things out and I'm 'normal' and very symmetrical. Yay for symmetry! (sarcasm) I've obviously had a D&C so no uterine abnormalities. But the circulation thing, I think you could be onto something there. At 7wks early scan hb found, baby measured 6+2. At 8wks, I was in for a quick US and the doc found a heartbeat but no measurements were taken. At 9+4 I went in insisting that I had mc and demanding an US. No hb and baby was measuring 6+5. Which is only 3days older than my first early scan at 7wks. Which makes no sense at all. If baby had died at 6+5 then I should not have seen the hb on the 8th week. This is one detail that bothers me this mc. And I'm sure circulation prob would ****** a baby's growth. Definitely add that to my list of questions for second opinion doc.
Tracie- I hear ya sista. The procedures are ridiculous. I'm in US and I have no health ins due to being sahm. My ultrasounds and D&C are costing me upwards of 8K. Wanna talk about sticker shock!!! I'm hoping the state can help me out of this one, but I'm not counting on it. The fertility clinics here offer plans that are bit more expensive but refund $$ if it doesn't work after a certain # of tries. Do you have something similar available? A safety net like that could be nice. Good luck to you and I hope its the one for you. FX
As for me, not a lot new. Been spotting on and off since Friday. Pain in my rear! Started only 21days past D&C. Knowing my luck I'll spot for the rest of this week and get hit by the On Friday. Damn! Can't win for losing. I'm off for early bed tonight. Been working my a$$ off literally so I'm beat. 3lbs and counting.

Hi girls...thought i would tell you that i lost the baby, this is my 7th MC and im at a loss. Im going to try and get referred to St Marys in london, and hopefully can get some answers on why this keeps happening

hope your all well xxx

Ohhhh little hush, I know there is little consolation I can offer you, but I'm so sorry. Push for that referral.

I did go see the reproductive specialist yesterday, and she wasn't as enthusiastic as I would've liked her to have been. I was just another patient. At this point I have to wait 2 cycles, and then they will do more hormone testing and then check to see how open my tubes are and whats going on with my uterus with a saline sonogram (they shoot water in there and observe it using a sonogram). They also took blood from my hubby to check his chromones to see if they are balanced. That gives us a time frame of like 4 months before we can start ttc again! Which sucks, but i'm ok with waiting if it means we may have a better chance the next time. On a positive my HCG levels did drop to under 1000, so hopefully it will be at zero for the next set of bloods, which would open the door for that first af!

Littlehush- I'm so sorry hun. I hope that the referal will help you.
Bk- Bummer that they weren't more enthusiastic. But its great news that the hcg is dropping and that they're checking you out... quite thouroghly. I'm hoping that this next four months passes quickly for you and I hope that you get some answers.

Littlehush - really sorry to hear about your loss again. You must be so frustrated/upset. I hope you get the referal you deserve as quickly as possible xx

so sorry for your loss littehush hope you get a refferal to st mary's and arent waiting too long.

bk- glad they are taking good care of you though its a bummer you have to wait around 4 months before ttc but like you say at least you have gone down every route possible to get answers and your much wanted baby.

i'm still waiting to see my consultants its been 5 weeks since i lost jessica and was hoping i'd get an appointment day through something to focus on. they said they would see me 6-8 weeks after so hoping its not too much longer this waiting has driven me crazy and just want closure now! x

Just checking in to see how you gals are doing? Still holding on I hope.

Hi there.

Not been on for a good few weeks or so. I'm doing ok actually. Started to try again 2 months ago now but nothing happened. I've decided to look at it in another light... at least I can still enjoy relaxing, having a glass of wine when I feel like it, especially with this lovely weather etc . I'm going to be away on holiday when my first due date would have been and I'm sure I'll think about it, but I just can't worry myself about it anymore. I'm tired of worrying/ feeling down...... it can drag you down sometimes.

I'm sure if/when I do get a BFP again, I'm going to be cr*pping it but can't do anything about it until that happens.

Anyway, how is everyone else. Anyone else trying again at the moment or having a break?

Hope all is well
xx
