Hi WTH - I have no info to offer but I just wanted to say that I am really happy that you are getting the help you need to fulfil your desire to have your baby. I followed your recent journey and was very disappointed and upset for you when you lost this little baby. I personally found that taking charge of things and getting a great dr etc really helped me with my grieving process. Take care and best of luck - keep in touch and let us know how you go. You have probably noticed that in the TTC after recurrent, late or stillbirth there are a couple of other women who have gone through similar recurrent early mcs like you - feel free to join us for a chat.
Thanks, Katiegirl. I am doing everything I can. My biggest fear is this is all happening too late. I would give anything to be in my early 30's again, I know women can have babies at my age, but I guess all these D&C's and first trimesters are taking a lot out of me.
My way of coping is to be proactive so that I don't regret that I could have done more, later on.
Thanks for the invite to the TTC thread. I am so glad this pregnancy is working out for you!
WTH, I'm one of the people that Dr S has helped. He found that I have too many natural killer cells which caused my first miscarriage. We later found that I needed a lower dose of prednisone than he recommended because I also have problems with severe insulin resistance (PCOS) and the prednisone made it even worse. I'm just lucky that the lower dose seems to be enough for me. We stumbled across another possible problem with later investigations and aspirin was added to the arsenal.
For me, Dr S was brilliant and wonderful, but didn't necessarily discover the full problem. He was just too far away for us to be using as our FS. For me, we didn't get the full extent of the problem straight away (as I was using the medications anyway to treat other health problems they tended to hide things) or from one particular person, but I am a very strange and complicated case.
I was very interested in reading about your experience of Dr S. He comes so highly recommended on here I think I may be expecting too much from him. I am feeling so impatient right now.It is good to remind me he is only human and it may take a little time to get things sorted.
We have to travel 1.5 hours to see him so he will not replace my OB. I only hope I don't get myself into bother where my OB says one thing and he says another. Already my FS and OB have different ideas on what might be best for me, so I could be adding another spanner to the works. Oh well, they can fight over me
I wish you all the best in your journey. I will have my fingers crossed you get the answers you need.
I understand where you are coming from with different opinions, I have that with Metformin and whether to stay on it or off it, if I get pregnant.
It is so frustrating!!!!
Anyway come and join us in the forum of ttc after recurrent miscarriage, late loss and stillborn section, there is a great bunch of girls, who love to chat....
I hope you have success with this program. I know how hard it is to suffer losses when the clock is ticking. Just remember that it is still possible to have a successful pregnancy without assistance whilst waiting for investigations and/or treatment. Sometimes it just happens. It took 3 goes for me last year and even though at my age I only had a 5% chance of a successful pregnancy (age 42) I did succeed.
Satya - I have read some of your posts before and you have really given me hope. I am going through the WHY? WHY? WHY? stage at the moment and just won't let up until I have a better understanding. I am so happy that you got there in the end. You must be thrilled!
