Meredith - I know this is a long shot but can you increase your dose of prednisone? Have you discussed this? I know that it can take more for some women - it did for me. I was on 25mgs - as you know steroids are potent. Doseage is important. For every increase tho there is an increase in side effects. So don't do it without talking to your doctor. I remember BW also when she decreased her prednisone she bled. I know it's a long shot so lock me in the cupboard if I am not helpful. I am just trying to think.
Have you thought about investigating some chinese medicine support? Herbs can be really helpful. I know that you have probably thought of all of this - maybe even done it. Just trying to put some more options out there.
I used chinese herbs in the early stages of pregnancy with Immy. I used all the drugs, all the herbs, energy healings. I did the whole kit and caboodle. Finally it gave me my Princess.
I just pray with all I have that that little one in there decides he/she will set up camp for a good deal of time.
Thinking of you and sending you love and support...
Meredith - no words, just hugs and prayers I wish I could be there IRL to give you the support you need Hold DH close and look to counseling to keep you on the same page. It is a tough journey and they really hate seeing the pain and not being able to fix it. Keep talking to us - you have more support than you realise
Meredith, I am so very sorry for the loss of your baby. I am praying that this little one snuggles in nice and tight and keeps fighting.
Are you in regular contact with Dr S? He might have some more ideas?? I don't know, but I hope someone comes up with something to help. Sometimes just doing something different gives you a bit of hope to get through the next day.
I have been following your day to day nightmare for awhile now. I must say you are such a strong woman but i sence how drained you are. God im so glad to hear that both baby are doing great. Feet up and take it easy xxxx
Meredith: That is really amazing - can only repeat what another lady has already said - it really shows that your little bubs have such a strong mum. Sending lots of and sticky vibes. Hope your DH is okay as well.
Thankyou ladies so so much. Its amazing to have so many people all cheering our babies on. I am extremely grateful to you all for following my journey.
Touch wood, am doing ok past couple of days other than horrendous m/s which although is certainly a good sign, can't fool a "pro" like me into believing all is and wil be ok.
Had another very quick scan with FS today. both babies have good strong HBs. They did measure quite a few days behind even where they were 2 days ago but I am trying not to read to much into that given the u/s machine not nearly as good and don't think my FS prob as good at getting 'best" measurement compared to professional sonographer. Worried me a bit through today but my logical brain can't fathom that they would "shrink" in 2 days whilst still alive and hearts beating well ?
Hopefully no more scans until my first OB appt next week.
Oh Meredith, I'm so very sorry. I hate the people that say 'At least you've still got one' It's just horrible.. I'll be praying very hard that the remaining one is a sticky little miracle for you
