Roll Call 2011 - post all your updates!

That's sound amazing Maybe they must be able to clarify everything for you!

There are plenty of bloodtests they can do to assess poor quality sperm count, but your hubby must be fine with all the times you been pregnant so like nurse said it will just be genetics tests that they can do on a sperm sample that might reveal something sneaky.

The main one would be a karyotype test

As for you, I'm under the impression that there could be a lot of reasons for miscarriage that wouldn't even occur to us as being possible. I really hope they can help you out - my feeling is that it is you with the problem and for some reason implantation isn't being successful.

Lots of people with genetic issues that will kill the foetus still manage to get further along than you have

Hey girls, thought Id update on this thread. TTC 2years off depo! 1 mc in Feb! Ive had my bloods back and have borderline/low eostrogen. Still not sign on af since 9th May (spotted every 2 weeks till then since m/c) but a lot of cm. Reading up on low oestrogen and a cause can be severe weight loss. Ive lost 8 stone in a year and a half as I was told that I was too fat to conceive and my dr wouldnt help me till I lost weight. I did it completely healthy through ww averaging 2 and a half pounds a week but thinking my body and hormones may just be having a wobble. (hoping). Hubby handed in his sperm on Thurs so we are on our way I guess. Im hoping now Im at target and maintaining then my oestrogen may go back up.

Thanks Lou!

I think the same about the implantation that's why I've gone with the prog and aspirin as I don't really know what else might help?

FX it works eh?

I wouldn't mind turning up to my appointment with a BFP! i would be 6 weeks then and could have an early scan.

Thins the blood some say helps prevent clotting in early stages of pg x

Wow Laura congrats on your weight loss - thats amazing! I hope your oestrogen levels rise soon. x

 

[maybe baby]

Yes Hun, just 75mg per day no more.

[Naomi D]

Im gonna start taking aspirin - do you take it all cycle or just in the 2ww?

 

[Naomi D]

I phoned up the hospital again, and spoke to a lovely receptionist (makes a change!) who has managed to get me an initial appointment with a specialist in 3 weeks!

Im so excited!

So, what can I expect? I've only had day21 bloods and oh has had semen analysis so far. I've been referred for a pelvic ultrasound but not sure when that will be.

I imagine that the pelvic ultrasound will be at the appointment with the specialist, mine was away

Thanks Louise! I had better wear my best knicks and shave my legs then!

 

[LouiseB]

They won't see your knickers, but definately get your razor out lol

If you have an internal make sure you wear a pad as the lube goes everywhere

I don't think they put much lube on me, they gave me a tissue at the end to wipe - my clinic must be on a budget

 

[Vickyxx]

Lucky you I was bloody swimming in the stuff and I wasn't offered a tissue!! :$

 

[Naomi D]

Haha! Where else could I find a conversation about too much lube! S'why I love this place

 

[ScotchEgg]

Hi hon can you add me as undergoing diagnosis - bloods fine, doing semen analysis

 

[LouiseB]

BUMP! Let me know what's going on - i've fallen a bit behind. You can still have threads etc about them btw, just lemme know please xx

 

[skeando]

After I had my internal ultrasound echovist scan thingy I was taken to a cubicle with all manner of wipes, sizes of pad and a sink and told to do whatever I needed to. I had a bit of spotting afterwards, but I think that happens quite a bit

Ive had bloods done, low in estrogen. Hubby had sperm tested all ok so currently waiting on a fertility appointment. Still no af since 9th May!
