Miscarriage appointment 14th May 🙂

Hi everyone.

So something is going right for us at last (!). I've got a video call with a miscarriage specialist in just over a months time.

I will be trying to push for the steroids , extra progesterone and test my thyroid as my tsh was 3.3 a few years ago- I know it's within normal health range but for TTC it should be under 2.5. My ex fertility specialist said he would only be concerned if my thyroid antibodies are raised which is a test they run for miscarriage.

I take higher folic acid and vitamin D pregnant as well as 150 mg aspirin and cyclogeat 400 mg. can't help but think it's either a cruel numbers game with my endometriosis and age against me or hopefully it's a little tweak to have a successful pregnancy ☝🏻 Definitely need to hear what she has to say Xx

Thank you. I reached out to a midwife at Tommy's and she gave me such useful information- Ie tests I could consider and ask my specialist if they are suitable. Gets me well prepared! Having a horrible period which I expected and I'm not wanting to try until I have spoken to the miscarriage specialist. The losses have hit me hard. Was very lucky to get an appointment so quickly some people usually have to wait months 😢 I will definitely update. Taking a wee bit to re coup from everything fertility and baby related just enjoy my family I am very lucky to have her. I know some people can't even have one it's just not fair they would I'm being very ungrateful. I hope you are well and all is going well with you I wish you the best Xx

Oh, that’s great you got to speak to a Tommy’s midwife. And that you are taking some time out from it all. You aren’t being ungrateful at all - just grieving some terrible losses. Yes, this process isn’t one bit fair but it makes it all the more wonderful when things do sometimes go right for us. Mind yourself. xx
