Hi Girlies and Guys,

I have been reading through these threads as i have been advised to take clexane and aspirin at the first sign of pregnancy and since then i have been so cautious as to what i take checking labels and warning signs on med packaging etc.

it was september 2007 when me and paul started talking about a family and from then on we started trying.....after a little while we both started to feel we were infertile which is kind of ridiculous knowing that people spend years practising this sexual encounter for a mini them.

Then beginning of feb 08 came along and i had missed a period but pregnancy test came back negative, then the next and the next so eventually i took it upon myself to blag a whole load of rubbish to the nurses at the hospital how i didnt have a doctors due to a house move etc. etc. can they test my blood by this time i was 28days late, but as procedure as lucky as i was to get them to do this i had the test waiting and waiting the nurses had a look, seconded it and even shon it in the light (it wasnt very noticeable but was there) and this is when my ordeal began..........

3days later and i had a complete miscarriage. wait one period and then try again, this time i tried another home kit as didn't have faith in the old Clearblue. Digital Boots own will do two days before my period was due and the pregnant happy vibes went off again this tim i had reached my midwife appointment the week before my first twelve week scan i was in again.

To cut a long and painful story short i knew there was something wrong and i have gone through the mtions of blaming myself trying every recommendation throughout pregnancy before buying all the pregnancy mags getting an idea of how to take care of myself before, during and after. But the second time they ran some tests and it was found my antibodies were attacking the pregnancy and to take aspirin.

So on the third and fourth pregnancy as soon as i found out which was really early because i wanted to know as soon as possible because of complications i thought we weren't catching it early enough. I started the aspirin but seemes to miscarriage before my 6th wk these times which made me anxious about taking pregnacare with aspirin.

My consultant scanned me through my cycle after my first period after the fourth miscarriage and we seen that all my pregnancies had been on my right ovary,(as they alternate) and maybe we should try the left so i had to wait for my next period n then my next one fall pregnant we also found the perfect day for me to concieve as the size of my egg, follicles and womb lining were perfect which was day 12 of my cycle.

Now after a long and stressful 2008 my worst year ever and i actually cried new years eve lol!!!!

i am due my period on 30th Jan, and have taken six pregnancy tests three different makes, and their is a positive line on all of them quite faint but they are there. This will be my first pregnancy with clexane and aspirin so i am nervous as hell and quite anxious as to what is actually going to happen with me.

I have phoned the clinic and i have to go down this morning to be shown how to do this to myself and to also confirm and book in for scans as i will be under my consultants care until i have a successful pregnancy. BUT one thing i am quite anxious about now is could it have been the early internal scans adding to this horror???? and am quite reluctant to have them weekly again due to the past two pregnancies.

I am so so sorry this has dragged on but it has done me the world of good to get it out there and to see people understand and feel how i have felt so thankyou for giving me that pleasure,

hope to hear from you all soon.

Much love Sherrie, Paul and Lexy (lexy is our new puppy) x x x x x x x x x
