Support and information after multiple miscarriages thread

faithhope

I don't think I've written on this thread before but have written a little bit on the mc thread. I've had 4mcs - 2 then a healthy baby girl then another 2.

Feeling really tearful today, anxious and feeling a dread that I might not have another baby. I think it might be because I'm due to ovulate soon. I had a docs appt today and asked about counselling. She is referring me but did offer the happy pills which I don't think I need, I'm not that bad. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking them if you need them but it just seems like an easy option for some docs.

Was driving home singing I am Titaneeeeeeum along to the radio then I realised it was more like tin foil today

Oh plus Doc was saying if I do get pregnant it is more likely I will have another miscarriage and high risk of abnormality ( due to my age at 40). I know all that but her saying it was a bit of a downer that I didn't need. Anyway, hope once I ov I will feel more normal again.

aarrrgggghhhhh!

I am so frustrated.

I haven't heard back from the gynae, and it's been six weeks since my appointment. i rang today, and finally got through to the secretary. The doctor has been on annual leave so has only looked at my results today. And there was a problem with the samples taken and they couldn't get the results, so I need to have more bloods taken,as does OH.

And as it's not my local hospital, and they only have limited times for blood tests, I can pick up the paperwork tomorrow after work, but it's going to be next thursday until I can get back over there at a time when I can have the blood taken.

I know it's only a week, but it's ANOTHER week. It's a year next month since my first miscarriage, and 18 months already since we've been ttc.

People I work with have got pg, had a baby and are starting to return from mat leave in that time.

And, we're just tentatively starting to try again, and I had hoped I would have test results and a treatment plan by now.

:mad:

Hello,

I just wanted to update.

I finally, after four long months, repeated tests and I don't know how many phone calls to the medical secretary received my results back from the mc clinic today- all clear, and a treatment plan of progesterone, aspirin and metronidazole until 24 weeks, to be started as soon as I get a positive pregnancy test.

This would be cause for celebration by lots of bd-ing, were it not for the fact I have just been referred for a colposcopy for bleeding during sex and inflammation at my cervix. As I have had abnormal cells removed in 2009, I am quite worried about this, and absolutely do not want to start trying again until I get the all clear!

Oh, and I still haven't asked for the celiacs test. But I will ask my GP at some point, as my mum has been diagnosed, I have some symptoms which have been diagnosed as IBS, and research suggests a link between unmanaged celiacs and recurrent mc.

But, I keep optimistically taking the folic acid.

Actually, it's probably quite a good job I'm not on maternity leave at the moment, I have a huge vet bill to pay to get the dog's knee fixed! Always look on the bright side, eh?
