Firstly really sorry to hear of your losses 😢 and welcome to this site. It's brilliant being able to talk yo others going similar situations and having others understand. No matter how hard friends and family try to understand unless you've been through this you can't understand the full impact this has on your life. I've just my nk blood test this morning! Should have my results back next Tuesday. Wanted to have this ruled out before I commence any treatment. ( been ttc 5 years with so called unexplained hmmm!) I want to wish you the best with everything and I hope you get some answers that bring you closer to having your baby. Not that you ever get over a miscarriage X

Thankyou so much for your reply. Yeh i have really supportive friends and family but its so hard for them to understand. Its such a long slog isnt it, weve been trying for over 4 years now. Didnt realise you could have nk test as a blood test ive been told i have to have a biopsy for it. Really hope your results are ok :) let me know how it goes xx

Welcome to the site. Sorry to hear of your losses. I have also had an early miscarriage and it truly heartbreaking. I had my Nk biopsy done last week and waiting for results like jess. I had the biopsy as it also acts as a scratch for next cycle. It stung a bit but will be worth it if we can rule /sort something out. Good luck. X

No problem ask away! Results could take 3wks. We were going to start this cycle but with the results taking so long we have delayed a month, so will be all go again in a few weeks! Fingers crossed for both our results. . X

I just started bleeding and it was fresh blood not like the spotting u can get in pregnancy. Dont worry there is no way they would do anything that could harm your pregnancy, so the scan will be perfectly safe. I know how u feel being scared of loosing its not nice and a very anxious time. Hugs xxx

in reply to Liz22

Yeah they did say that it wouldn't harm the baby I didn't think it would just worried coz didn't no they done it that way. Yeah definitely get so worried about losing ur so sweet really do hope ur OK xxxxxxx

Hi, Liz! Sorry to hear that :( But you should know you aren't alone, and welcome to the crowd. This place is just great for talking the problems over. Though this is so tremendously difficult to imagine what you're going through now and find the right words to smooth the pain. Our 1st fresh IVF cycle with donor eggs was a failure (with a Greek clinic first). That was a disaster to me so for everyone of my big friendly family. Then we switched the clinics due to some reasons and our journey continued with Ukrainian clinic. I have never experienced a miscarriage myself so no advice could be done. Just know God blesses us for the waiting and struggling and hope. I'll be praying for your next time to be your rainbow! XX
