    Hi
    I am a TVC success story after losing my son, but just wanted to wish Kristin all the best for her upcoming surgery & I would definitely be interested in hearing how you go. I have heard Dr Davis mentioned on the IC forum & it sounds like he is the man to go to for the TAC. Good luck!
    Tia, I am sorry to read of your loss & good luck for when you decide to try again.
    Nae, I'm so happy to read that things are still going well for you. I was wondering if you had ended up getting that stitch or not.

    thanks :)

    Hi Jo and Tia

    Thanks for the well wishes

    Its great to to hear that the TVC has worked you Jo, in many cases it seems to be all it takes to bring a baby home. I spent many months deciding on which way to go, before it came down to the stats of the two operations. So I'm getting TAC'd. 23 sleeps until we fly over to see Dr Davis, I have heard so much about him and can't wait to finally meet him.

    By the way, my husband's name is Luke so I smile every time I see your screen name

    Take care xx

    Just reading through the replies it is obvious that there are a number of opinions and fortunately options available. The successes and cautions are both comforting and informative and I wish everyone undergoing these procedures the best of luck.

    I myself and 7 weeks and go for my first check-up next week. After my loss at 20 weeks this time I feel like I have already been pregnant for ever! Even though I try not to dwell time is morning soooo slowly!

    Anyways, providing all is well I will be getting a suture at 12 weeks. Nothing is guaranteed but weighing up the risks I would rather take the risk of getting a suture and be closely monitored than wait. At 36 I don't feel I can afford not to do as much as I can to ensure a successful pregnancy.

    As everything progresses I will update as I know I looked for this information myself when I came to this forum and no doubt others do too.

    Congratulations

    Hi Melissa

    Congratulations on your pregnancy and best of luck with getting a TVC. I'll be thinking of you And I'm sure your little angel will look over you as well.

    You are so right, its great being able to read about other people's experiences and share our knowledge. Only then are we able to make the decision that is right for us, whether its choosing to get a Trans Vaginal Cerclage, Trans Abdominal Cerclage or none of them. Knowledge is power

    Take care
