Well, I have just recently suffered my 7th M/C in 9 years, what a great start to the new year. This will be mine and 's 10th and final year of TTC.
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2002 and have never made it past 7 weeks. Last week I found out I was pregnant again, this time it felt different... I thought this time, this one was mine... I was wrong. On monday I was taken to hospital and after waiting two and a half hours in the emergency room (along with a woman whose water burst all over the floor about 5 meters away from me) I was finally taken into the general emergency treatment room and then shifted to the gyno room AFTER they moved THE MALE PATIENT OUT OF THERE. I was examined and told that my cervix was open slightly and I would miscarry in the next 24 hours. At 2.10pm yesterday it happened... I was 5 and a half weeks. This is my 7th miscarriage. As this will be my last 12 months of TTC, does anyone have any tips that may help me? Please...
Oh Shannan, what a terrible journey for you. My heart goes out to you and your DH.. I dont have any tips for you but there are lots of wonderful women on here that will be able to offer you support and fantastic advice. I will have my fingers crossed for you and will look forward to following your story.. hopefully with a happy ending for you.
Oh Shannon - how heartbreaking. I am so sorry you have had to go through this for so long.
I assume you have had the barrage of blood tests to work out why this might be happening.
I recently read an article about a lady who had 18 miscarriages. She could never make it past 7 weeks. Eventually they found that her body had lost the ability to store folate so the developing embryos never stuck around because they couldn't develop properly. Forget what the treatment was - probably folate injections or something similar.
Ticklish - Because I have PCOS all I ever get told from the specialists and doctors is lose weight and you will be able to conceive with less chance of miscarriage. Its frustrating as the weight gain was caused by the PCOS.
With so many m/cs you should have more tests than that. Weight is one thing but there are a lot of antibodies that can be causing issues for you which should be investigated. I would be changing specialists.....
I think you should find a new specialist and insist on tests. Maybe compliment it with natural remedies like herbs or acupuncture. Anything is worth a try.
Oh Hun I am ever so very sorry for all your precious angels... you and your DH seem like such strong people..... I have a friend who had trouble holding onto her precious bubas and was told it was due her body not storing enough folate and she had a blood disorder - she was told to double her folate and take a asprin and is now 11.5 weeks and all seems ok.... I would be demanding all tests under the sun as there could be anther reason other than PCOS that is causing this.... There are many incrediable women her who can give you more information that me ... best of luck and I look forward to reading your birth story xxxxxxxxxx
7th M/C... This is my last year.
