work were lovely. I foolishly tried to go food shopping which has set it back off, bleeding heavily now which is ok apparently, just need to go hospital if it gets heavier. Blood test results aren't available yet. I still forgot to ask what it was for. I think your right and its further along the stuff I have been passing is big.

The blood test is to ensure your pregnancy hormone level (BHCG ) is dropping.
They will sometimes do a scan after 10days to check all is clear aswell if bloods show a higher level.

Hes upset bless him. He came with me to the docs and being him picked up on the fact that due to von vilderbanns I have probably had several earlier miscarriages that we haven't realised were miscarriages.

I have to go back sole wage earner and temping need the money, physically dont feel anywhere near as bad so back to work I go.

Gosh, I've never heard of Von Wilderbanns before.

Are you also anaemic due to the blood loss from periods, or is that all dealt with as part of treatment for the V W?

mellymoo74

Its not really known about, mine is mild so heavier periods and bleed a bit longer than normal with injuries (hospital for dental treatment etc) and bruise easily my brother has it worse than me, he has annual check ups and his children will be tested. Our cousin has it really badly his is like hemophilia.

I have the additional problem of being a negative blood group, the one other miscarriage I know about I had a anti d and a d&c but it can make it hard for embryos to stick or something.

Yep anaemic is normally ok but thats one of the things they took blood for today the other was to check the hormone levels have decreased/gone.

You can imagine VW and and D&C one of the reasons why I will wait to see if the natural has worked first now im thinking more rationally.

Hope you get some good rest this evening.
