So glad I met with my consultant

Quite a busy afternoon today, I had a scan to confirm that all was okay after surgery which thankfully it was.

I then met with my consultant which I’m really glad about as he was so understanding and even said it was heartbreaking for him watching us suffer so much. We’ve agreed that I’m going to take some time out to recover physically and mentally but in the mean time I’m going to start taking metformin and inofolic. I’m also going to be referred for a hysteroscopy to check my womb - anyone had one before?

All my blood tests came back fine and our blastocyst are ‘top quality’ that he says in terms of IVF treatment there isn’t much more he can offer us. Just waiting for the genetic testing results but overall I feel re assured that I’ve got time to focus on me and my Hubby and also grieve for all the loss we’ve suffered this year but there’s also a plan in place.

Hope everyone is doing okay xx

Really pleased you've had a positive appointment. That's just what you needed happy you decided to go.

Also I have had a hysteroscopy but I had it whilst I had a lap so can't offer you much around that sorry.

Looks like things are slowly starting to look up for you and you'll be able to bring the new year in with some positivity on hoping you'll be successful on having your precious baby. I love it when ppl just get it and, really empathize that's when they really help because they want us to be successful and don't just see us as a pay packet. Glad you've had such a positive appointment and now yous can continue to grieve knowing your going to be able to do all you can with the amazing support you have from your consultant. Wish you all the best hun 💗🤗😘

I'm ok thank you. Have booked follow up with consultant on 1st Dec to find out about FET and all that's involved. We won't be starting until the new year but I like to have a plan! Xx

Not too bad at the moment. Have had a couple of days of just relaxing and resting after everything. I’m feeling quite positive actually. I popped into work today and they said I looked positive about things xxx

All sounds positive. I’m following your whole story with interest, being in a similar situation to you, as you know. May 2018 be our year! 🤞 🙏🏻 xx Ps I had a Hysteroscopy in 2013 for grade 3 CIN but I also had a biopsy at the same time so I can’t really advise on what it’s like on it’s own x

Reply

Thank you, as am I with yours. I’m so hoping next year brings us both our precious babies. Like you at this point I kind of think anything’s got to be worth trying to avoid any more heartache xx

I've just had a hysteroscopy last week, that bit was fine, doesn't hurt just uncomfortable. I also had a biopsy that bit was painful but the actual camera bit was fine.

They recommended taking some painkillers half hour before.

Thank you, hope your doing okay.

I am thank you, we're just waiting for our next appointment following the biopsy and then hopefully start FET.

Good luck with your hysteroscopy and take the following day off if you can, you may have cramping and spotting after. X

Definitely take some time for you!

I had a hysteroscopy after the last ivf miscarriage, just to check if there was something or nothing.

I had it under general anaesthetic and he did a biopsy of the lining to check for any underlying issues and used that as a scratch at the same time.

Not too horrendous the recovery to be honest.

It all came back clear....

Thank you, glad yours came back okay. He did say to me it’s much like a scratch so I think it’s got to be worth doing. Hope your doing okay x
