Thanks for the kind words Jayde it means a lot. Not many people really understand what its like until they have been through it. I think that because I already have two children people cant understand why I would be upset about what has happened, but we have always wanted a large family and it's been heartbreaking. I think this may be it for me now though if this pregnancy is ok it has been as you know a fairly traumatic time and I don't know that i would like to go through this all again. Only time will tell.
Sending you all the love and luck for a new baby for you. It took me about 14 months post removal to keep this pregnancy so far so, I am really hopeful for you too just make sure you look after you and your body and get yourself in a good place.
Will be in touch via this thread to let you know how everything progresses. Thanks again for the reply xx Emma
Yes, totally... No one can truly understand what its like until its something they've endured themselves... Even then everyone's experience is different to the next... Its horrible when people try to comfort you by saying "Well at least you have one kid, isn't that enough...?" Or, "Lucky you're young, you've still got plenty of time"... It doesn't make a difference or change the fact that you've just lost a baby...
My blood test came back "all normal"... And I told my doctor that I have found lots of women on forums with all the same problems, her response was simply "There is nothing that can be done, until there is research to back up any of these theories - we'll never know"...
So I guess all we can do Emma is spread the word to as many woman as possible about the "unknown risks" of the Mirena IUD... And pray that no one has to go through what we've been through because of a contraception!
I'll be waiting until at least another few months or so before trying again - I truly hope this is it for me too!
This happened to a friend of mine, had her first 2 children no probs. Had the mirena in and for a few years, got remarried they wanted to try for a child, 4 miscarrigaes later then they finally got there baby.
Her specialist was going to have a look inside for scarring. She wondered if the mirena had caused some sort of scar tissue that would then make it harder for an embryo to stick. But she got pregnant thankfully before this and from memory I think she had daily progesterone supposetries too to keep the uterus strong.
Good luck girls.
I've asked my doctor about taking a progesterone suppliment as I keep hearing that it could help me hold a pregnancy and she seems to think it won't help... I'll be sure to ask the gynae when I go for my check up next week!!! I keep hearing 4 miscarriages... Well I'm only on my 3rd and hope to god it's my last!!!
Just to give you hope this is my fourth pregnancy so I only suffered three miscarriages so I'm hoping and praying that you too will be in the same boat as me in a few months time.
With the progesterone I don't see why not give it to you. From what my friend was saying it may or may not help but its better to try it seeing as there isn't any risks if you do.
