i've had two (poss 3) but were 5 years apart. was just told they were 'one of those things'. strange how it varies from area to area

That's where I had diffculty... because 1 and 2 were 6 years apart... they were not interested even though they were one behind the other.

I have a possible 2 more too

Thing is, the fertility people were supprised it's taken so long for me to be looked at because it's been ongoing for so long.

I think you should go to the Dr and insist that you get refered. I pretty much won't leave the room... it's not hard to refer you.

((hugs to you too x))

EDIT: My Dr said that about each of mine 'just one of those things', if she had every suffered a miscarriage she would know that it is NOT one of those things!

Hi, we have a beautiful day here in Durham - sunshine and blue skies make such a difference to the way I feel. My cavity wall insulation is now finished so the house is a lot quieter. I've been trying to get some of my quilting done, I missed half my class yesterday because of my flat tyre. I've now caught back up, the class is in North country or Durham hand quilting. My teacher does the most amazing work and I'm lucky to be able to do a class with her. I'm making a bed runner which I have now designed and marked the main design out. I'm really enjoying the class.

I also need to do some painting as we're trying to do our old house up ready for selling. I also want to go to the library and do some genealogy, I gave up my subscription as it was quite expensive but the library have one.

HUGS to all that need them

Morning

Hugs for all the poorlies and

Finished work for the day and have managed to get washing dry and empty the DW. Popping to the library ands Aldi (b'nut squash and sweet pots on super6!!), also to Argos for a new clock radio - mine is gaining a minute a day (how do electronic ones do that!) and it's bugging me as I never know what time it is.

Got things to list on eBay later and ironing to tackle.

That doesn't mean you are not entitled to know what's wrong. I find you have to be firm to get what you want. Try and tell the Dr that you've had two miscarriages, and you would like tests to ensure that if there is an underlaying cause it can be treated before you decide to have children.

((Hugs))

I didn't until this morning! Apparently there are two parts, the inability to concieve caused by the lack of ovulation which is linked to obesity and is very common.

The second part is the ability to concieve (like me) but the much higher risk of miscarriage, which they believe is cause by a raise in insulin levels which causes the placenta due to blood clots. This rings bells as it mirrors my exact symptoms.

In the US there are studies into whether insulin can be given to overcome this... but I can't find anything in the UK.

So I will talk to them Tuesday.

All in all... a bit of a shock, especially when the nurse said you must be relieved that there is nothing wrong...! I'd like to see her have 3 miscarriages and then be told she has PCOS and call it nothing wrong!!

Thank you for the kind words.

<playing devils advocate> I suppose in a rather cack handed way she was suggesting perhaps it nothing as it wasn't something involving cancer etc? Still pretty crass on her part though

I've had one miscarriage and that was more than enough upset for me. I can't imagine what it feels like to have had so many Hugs to all you ladies who've lost babies xxxx

Jackieg - My mum ended up with cyst on her last remaining ovary which she ended up having to have removed. Hope they can avoid that situation for you xx

I agree Bitsy about the nurse. I don`t think the general public realise how many people us health professionals diagnose with cancer and other potentially terminal illnesses everyday:o
I for one spend virtually every Tuesday telling people on my clinic list that we cant operate or offer any curative chemo and any treatment will be of a palliative nature.....and then comforting them and their families in the aftermath. Bearing in mind they are in the main people in their 30s and 40s it isnt pleasant.
Whilst I am not belittling your situation at all and understand how worrying and awful it all must have been , what she probably meant was that it must be a relief you now know it isnt anything along those lines and is something that they can eventually sort out and hopefully get you on the right track again.

Absolutly, the fact that my womb is healthy is positive

I just have to remember that it will be a hard road... but I will get there, because there is no way I am going to stop trying!

i fear in my case thats the problem. i know i have scar tissue which i'm guessing would play part in it. when i was pregnant with my ds i was monitored carefully as i was at risk of not carrying full term (happened previously). in fact he was overdue by 13 days :mad::rotfl: i had a difficult pregnancy and labour with him and since then my periods have been non exsistant they have got better since the last miscarriage but still only lasts a day or two (bet some of you are shouting lucky moo!:rotfl:) i just bury my head in the sand and ignore it
poor blokes reading this :eek::rotfl:

i wonder if one day i will end up regretting not having my own child--Mrs De is 39 and still able---she has a daughter who i regard as mine and she thinks of me as dad--i have a genetic 'fault' that has a 1 in 8 chance of being passed on and we rationally agree not to have a child--but wonder if somekind of paternal strife will strike me down one day and it will be too late--i am 48 and not at all cooey!--Mrs De loves kids and she is well suited to teaching and is always cooing over the babies but knows of the practicalities eg work restrictions etc but there is no financial barriers to it --also i will be the oldst dad on the block!!
