Some might know me I've been here nearly 7 years! Wish I'd found the site earlier into our journey.
We endeared a long 7 year struggle due to a huge delay in my endometriosis 3 surgeries and a chemical pregnancy. But happily we had our daughter Francesca in June 2019. The pregnancy was full of anxiety and I thought she was too good to true.
Anyway being the crazy fools we are we decided to try for a sibling! I sadly lost our second daughter Amelia at 20 weeks pregnant being told no heartbeat at scan 🥲 no cause of death was established after full post mortem just very unlucky, heartbroken we tried again had a chemical pregnancy in January, followed by another loss at 6.5 weeks pregnant in March. We got referred to a miscarriage specialist as we finally hit the criteria -3 pregnancy losses in a row. Took a month off to just give ourselves a break my poor body had gone through the ringer. All investigations came back clear which I half expected but did agree to the steroids which I'd had with Francesca and for 2 weeks with Amelia ( my most successful pregnancies is far) and I firmly believe that these steroids made a difference. I think it's no coincidence the other pregnancies didn't work out ( and Amelia was just a one off tragic)
I had my nk cells raised and my ex fertility specialist was a firm believer in the management of nk cells and agreed I could have them till 12 weeks.
They kindly offered to turn the screen off for me until they checked my hubby couldn't resist having a peep! And found the bean via abdominal scan ( much to my surprise) a good heartbeat and measuring exactly 7 weeks 5 days exactly right 😍
It was very difficult to visit maternity department after Amelia but fortunately that part of the department is being built on thank goodness making it a little easier. The staff were so kind and let my hubby wait with me ( made exception for us as men were told to wait outside goodness it is something like out of 1950s 😂) but at least the hospital are allowing partners to scans now 😊
Generally wishing everyone the very best and always have hope miracles can happen 🥰 Xx
