Miscarriage/Loss General Discussion #1

[toomanyshoes]

Yep thats me tellytubby, only found out a few weeks ago. My appointment with the specialist was meant to be on Monday this week but I chickened out at the last minute. It's now the 18th.

I'll look for my test results are let you know.

The only reasons I've been giving for my m/c's are "maybe this and maybe that" and of course my weight always seems to be the issue even though I conceived our eldest two pretty much fuss free. My pregnancies had a few chic ups but nothing too major. During my 2nd m/c which was after having our daughter they found a small fibroid in the lining/wall of my uterus and again I was giving the "it may or may not be the problem" speech. After my 3rd m/c and being treated like it didn't matter because of my weight I've seen Dr's less and less for help because I'm sick of being told the same thing.

I'm hoping the thyroid problem will be all the answers we're looking for but I'm so petrified my expectation are too high and if I don't get pregnant quickly it's going to be very heart breaking.

TTS - Im sorry its taken so long to TTC. We have been trying for over a year and it feels like forever. I cant imagine what 5 years feels like. I hope you get some answers at your appointment.

AFM - I had a very, very hard day yesterday. It was one year to the day that I lost my first Angel. August is such a terrible month for me this year. On a happier note, I awoke to my first AF since my D&C! Yay!

Im around Telly, just busy trying to stay sane while Dh is overseas and Uni has started so Im trying to squish in study and assignment time of a night when I finally get the kids to bed.

TMS, who did you see for your testing?

For whoever asked about thyroid levels, mine were tested as part of my m/c panel and they came back borderline. My specialist said he didnt think they were an issue to focus on BUT that they should def be monitored along with bHCG when I get pregnant, and throughout the pregnancy.

Hmm my cycles have gone whacky again. Im now 2 days late (and Dh isnt here so its definately not pregnancy related!). Last cycle I was 3 days early, and had spotting throughout. Honestly as if I dont have enough to worry about without cycle issues arising.

Hi ladies

PAC any success Hun?

Toomanyshoes, what happening with you lately? I've got an appointment with my ob in sept to discuss my thyroid levels, don't want to really ttc until then

Freya when is your hubby home? Are your cycles back on track yet?

Ho hum. Everyone around me is either pregnant or with a newborn. My heart is aching. X

[Freya]

TT - He isnt home until right before christmas, which is longer than originally planned Hopefully it doesnt get pushed back any further again, nearly 8mths is a long bloody time, any longer and I might go insane! That and we are heading to Europe on Dec 29th for 17 days. Im not missing that for anything lol

He is keen to TTC right away but Ive been umming and ahhing about going back to Uni full time for next year so that I am halfway done with my degree before we have another bub. Means less time spent faffing around with it and not getting it finished until Im in my 30's. I think we will just see how we go. As for my cycles, AF was going on nearly 14 days late and finally reared her ugly head on Wednesday BUT its barely there anymore. I really dont know WTH is going on so I guess its off to the specialist I go.

Definately seems everyone is pregnant or just had a baby up here too. And even worse for me is that they all seem to be having girls *sigh*

Massive tellytubby. I hope you're okay hun.

Freya - I hope you have a ball in Europe. We were there in '07, in December, and it was lovely. Freezing, but lovely . Love your ticker too!

We're just plodding along here. Got a horrible cold, along with that horrible cough that rips through your entire body. Sigh.

AH Im not a cold person so that the one thing thats freakin me out about the trip lol But it was the ideal time of year workwise for us to go and for someone to watch the kids. Plus its a bit cheaper. I dream of NYE in Amsterdam and our wedding anniversary (jan 8) in Italy, my favourite place in the whole wide world. Ive been to Italy before but Dh has never been anywhere that isnt a war zone so I think I am most excited about taking him

I do not miss the coughs and flu's in winter, I always seem to catch everything that goes around. I hope your getting as much rest as you can being a busy mum
