Maybe they will be quicker in your area, with a bit of luck they will be. All mines were back within weeks except for me and DH genetics!

Room for a newy?

I am Rachel, 37 and am just going through a chemical.

This is my 3rd miscarriage in 18 months.

1st - January 2008 @ 9 weeks
2nd - November 2008 @ 12 weeks (MMC - 8 1/2 weeks)

Going back to the doctors to ask to be referred.

MrsJD - I had so many tests taken this year but not sure if progesterone was one of them. What do they do? What is Clexane?

Tudor Rose - So sorry for your losses. Hope you are ok xx

Chilli - Sorry you have had another mc too. Horrible that we are all on this thread at all isn't it.

Babytots - As you saw from my message and long time ago, I had a whole load of tests. Apparently for one of the tests it is best to have blood taken 3-4 days after the 1st day of your period. Can't remember which one though so it may be worth asking about this. I still don't know my results of Chromosome match etc - is that Karyotyping? These were taken in March, I think, so should be in. Not that anything can be done if something is a miss here. HOpe all goes well xx

Rumpskin - Welcome... obviously better if was under different circumstances. Hope you are doing ok?


I'm feeling pretty low tonight. Everytime one of my friends attempts having a child they get pregnant straight away and have no complications. I don't wish anything bad on them of course but why are they having it so easy and not me? Been crying tonight... first time in a long time... someone elses good news can have horrible implications for others eh... I'll get over it. I always do, but can't shake it off tonight

oh hunni i understand how you feel it seems everywhere i turn someone has gotten pg or is pg or had a baby and i feel like i am trapped and it should be me too. i have a good cry now and again when one of my friends talks (or as i see it gloats) about her pregnancy especially as she is due 4 days before jessicas due date.

thanks for the info on tests. i though there was one they did on cd3 and another at cd21 but they havent done this. maybe thats what the next app is for? going to ring my consultant up first thing monday and leave a message with her to see if she can shed some light on whats going on.

hello rachel nice to meet you though under circumstances which i wish wasnt. so sorry for your losses hunni hope this thread can help with any questions you need answering. x

Hi there. I am Tina. I know some of you already. I have had three miscarriages. Kai - August 2007, Ava - December 2007, and twins - Brett & Claire, October 2008.

I guess my biggest issue is not that I just can't seem to keep my babies, but getting pregnant is the first big hurdle. I am almost at a year again (took me over a year to get pregnant with Kai) and it is frustrating. I am seeing a specialist and I am taking some fertility medication as well I had surgery to correct scar tissue found in my uterus back in April.

It is hard. I have good days, and then very bad days. Things have been better lately though. Time does heal. I won't ever forget...nor do I want to, but there is definitely happier times. I guess the hardest part is I don't know if it will ever happen. I guess some of you feel that way too. I often wonder if I should just give up. But, I know that there will come a time when I will feel like I have done all that I can do, and until then, I will just keep doing "all that I can do".

Babytots - Thanks for making me feel not such a nutter about the whole thing. I just think people get so wrapped up in their own pregnancy that they forget to be sensitive about others around them. I was really happy for my friend last night and of course she should be excited, but I can't help but feel jealous and frustrated about it too.

Jasmak - Hello. I know what you mean about time healing. It does feel that way to me sometimes but every now and again you get a kick in the teeth. Hope something happens for you soon xx

OMG wider, you need to get checked for this. Appartently if it's low you lose your bean everytime. My old gyne doesn't believe in it but my new gyne who's a director of the Glasgow Reproductive Clinic does but he's into research blah blah blah. You don't need the test before and after ovulation since you can conceive so they just done the CD21 test on me. In the meantime I bought wellspings progesterone cream and slapped it on yesterday after the bloods were done it won't do any harm as I've spoken with Wellsprings qualified doctor.

Was going to PM you but what the hell I'll share will all, this is what I'm on, from my gyne and alternative:

75mg aspirin - helps nourish the womb, blood supply etc
Clexane - thins the blood, daily injections into the belly
Folic Acid - double the dose

Now Alternative -

B6
Wellsprings progesterone cream

Aswell as my prenatals, going to be admitted into the Priory soon, feel like a pill popping junkie

I've just checked my tests and think that I was checked for this but I'm going to make sure and call them up. I'm thinking of starting to take 75mg aspirin too. I've got some in the cupboard so what the hell. I've stopped taking folic acid as keep forgetting to take it so going to start that again. Positive thinking Mrs.... it has to be our month. Maybe I'll take B6 too. Right that's it. I'm off to Superdrug
