~*miraclex2*~ - Monday, 23 June Hey sweety! Just stopping in to check on you? How are you doing?
chips - Sunday, 22 June Thankyou!I am also so sorry for your loss,there is nothing I can say that makes it any better or even makes you feel better, I know this so well!................I was the same when it came to deliver our baby, the midwife told me too push,I could'nt!, did not what to lose him!.................................even though I know our angel had left us already!...........I have three beautiful blessings, but when we go out, I feel the same. You will be blessed, stay strong! you are in my prayer talk soon god bless
vikki - Sunday, 22 June My last preg' was the time we had my prog' tested too. Well 4 definitely counts as repeat miss. So hopefully they will do something there for you. Even if it's just cautionary. Prog' assistance wont hurt a good pregnancy. Assistance doesn't guarantee things as there are other things that can effect ( like in my case with the blood clotting) but if that is the only thing that is a problem then it will. It sounds like with the late ovulation that there wasn't a strong implantation. My recovery time didn't make any difference with d&c to not. Some of the times were just longer than others. BUT it was only the last time that my cycle DAYS changed. My cycle days to that point had stayed the same ( or pretty much) but the heaviness differed at the time of AF's so I surmised that everything that happened inside of those cycles were quirky. Even though my cycle had shortened this time round, I knew that everything was going to "schedule" within it. The CM and all of that showed things to be happening at the proper times. There is no "correct" timing for your cycle to return to normal. But it is wise to wait at least the 2 cycles though to give the body a rest as it's a big fast and traumatic change.
Sometimes the tissue is caught up in the big clots and you wont be able to identify it separately. Don't be concerned if this happens.
I don't know exactly when I'll come off the Prog. around 12wks ish. But that will be monitored.
Well I have to get sorted for Mass now ( it's 10am here)

MARIA DEANDA - Saturday, 21 June HI MONICA THANK U 4 ADDING ME IN UR FRIEND LIST HOPE U R FELLING BETTER.MARIA
vikki - Saturday, 21 June The progesterone that I have been taking is actually a suppository ( yuk!) but works. You can get the prog' cream from a pharmacy. You can't get it over here though ( australia). I did get some online and had it sent from the States but THAT was hard too. I only used it ( from day 14 to end of cycle) until my new Doc' prescribed the Pessories. Hope fully a doc' will prescribe some for you to keep in the fridge until you need it.
I've had d&c's with some and not others. The last 2 I didn't. They were early losses like yours. but the older ones ( between 13-17wks) I did. Yes there is a risk of complications but in my case at least, it was necessary as some of the lining was tearing because the placenta hadn't let go properly and I was bleeding out! I do believe that if the loss is early, it is best to leave it all naturally unless there is "flooding" happening. It'll be like a long heavy AF with the passing of a large "clot".It's alarming but normal.
I'm sorry to ask but was this your second loss or third? With reoccurring loss, the Doc's do tend to pay closer attention. You may have to be persistent but don't give up.
I know what you mean about not wanting to tell anyone but wanting to tell the world. I wasn't going to tell the children until further down the track but they figured ti out. What with my blood tests monitoring me every 2 days and all.We haven't told our collective parents though. They DON'T understand at all.
Take care and be VERY kind to yourself at this time.
Big Hugs +JMJ+ Vikki
vikki - Saturday, 21 June You poor thing, I agree that your prog' was probably too low, in that it may have started off a little higher but then dropped and while the level is in the perimeters once the level starts to drop it's not very hopeful. My Doc' has said many times that once it starts to go down there is not much that can be done. HOWEVER once knowing that there is a prog' issue you can start off with it and that will help. AS LONG AS YOU USE THE NATURAL. The synthetic is not much use AT ALL. The natural gets absorbed straight into the blood stream and is measurable in tests. I know that the synthetic has a tendancy to lengthen your cycle. My Doc' got me to fill my prog' script BEFORE I fell pregnant so that I had it ready for when I did. That way I could take it IMMEDIATELY once I got a BFP so no time was being wasted.
I had 2 full cycles between the last loss in Feb to falling preg' this time. It does seem to be the best timing.
Your poor hubby is also looking at the pain and anguish that you are going through at the moment and for a man that is a very hard thing as they know that they can't fix it when that's what they want to do. They want to take the pain away from the one that they love. My hubby went through the very same thing, in fact he got to the point that he didn't want to touch me just in case. He couldn't bare for me to keep going through this. But know we have some answers. Of course he's very worried for me all the time now.
I read your blogs, I don't think I can add too much to what I've already said. I didn't have a problem with a short luteal phase. ( well not generally, I think it was a case of my cycle just re-adjusting). It's just a case that I have a bad progesterone production. ( and the thrombophilia aswell, but that effects in the later part of the first trimester, not the early). By the way, temp is the most accurate thing to watch next to blood testing. Blood testing is the most accurate way but your temp DOES tell you stuff so you were right in your feelings with that in my opinion. We were only able to find out about the prog' because we HAPPENED to test at the right time with the last loss.
Please let me know what you find out and how you are going. I'm here for you across the miles.
Take care
Hugs and prayers to you and Hubby. +JMJ+ Vikki
~*miraclex2*~ - Saturday, 21 June You couldn't have said it better my friend!! Keep the faith!
vikki - Saturday, 21 June Oh I am SOOOOOOO sorry to here that I'm devastated for you. Are they going to u/s before the d&c just to be sure? I'll go into your page shortly and read your blog etc. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what you are going through first. In my story I've got stuff that I found out with all my miscarriages if that helps at all. In the meantime, I'll have a read. I'll get back to you asap.
mamacourser - Friday, 20 June i'm sorry to hear about your loss. you are in my thoughts.
~*miraclex2*~ - Friday, 20 June HI! I'm so sorry about your loss! I have had a history od M/C also, i tried asking about the progerterone cream, but never really got answer from anyone, I f you find out please let me know! If you need to talk, please know that I am here!~God Bless~
Julianna - Friday, 20 June I'm so sorry. I know how you feel and it is tough! Sometimes when things don't develop properly our body takes care of it naturally. Even though you saw the heartbeat, there could have been some type of chromosomal abnormality that made it impossible for the baby to develop any further. Try not to lay any blame....it is most likely "nature" doing it's thing. Just remember to take are of yourself!
