Anyone think of anything else to ask at nxt wks appt...
Hi ladies
So have got the follow up appt at recurrent mc clinic nxt tues, even though managed to get the remainder of blood results over the phone we will be discussing these but as there clear not sure what there will be to discuss.
He had mentioned previously about doing a hysteroscopy or a lap as have a history of endometriosis.
I know it's hard for anyone to tell me what to ask but what would you ask if it were you, I dont want them to just discharge me cause I feel really helpless at the moment & as much as we want a baby I am now going through a panicky stage again about mc again.
Last week I started to think about if I was pg (CD2 so am not) & I was overcome with fear that it just wouldnt be successful cause we've lost 4 already.
Sorry for such a low post I just dont know what to do anymore );

OK, so you want some ideas for questions? I'm sure that you have already thought of these, but if it were me I would ask..
1) An explanation of the tests you had
2) Next steps considering that they came back clear
3) What other therapies are available, such as asprin etc.
4) Clinical trials is a good idea i would ask about that..
I did a google search for you and found this site with Q&A about recurrent mc http://www.uchospitals.edu/specialties/obgyn/pregnancy-loss/faq.html
and I also found this forum that had a discussion with an IVF specialist answering questions about recurrent mc. http://messageboards.ivillage.co.uk/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ukpbproblem&msg=754.1&ctx=0
This link will take you to another link for the discussions.
I hope this helps??
I would want to stay under their care for piece of mind but if they do discharge you make sure you find out if they have a way to self refer back into the clinic if you need to. Get as much info out of them as possible! xxxx
How have you been not seen you around for a bit? xxx
Hope appointment goes OK. I agree with what others have said about asking about aspirin or heparin. Someone else on this website had 3 miscarriages I think and is/was having HCG injections in her current pregnancy. I assume that's going OK, though I haven't been back on the Due In forum for obvious reasons.
Good luck

I cant think of anything else that hasnt already been mention, but if I do Ill let you know.
just wanted to say hope your appointment goes well - thinking ofyou hun

Maria it's good to hear from you, I think having discussions like this just get your brain ticking!!
Ive also read about them not being keen to prescribe aspirin or heparin as there can be side effects!! I will try & find out as much as I can about Factor V from the consultant & report back!!
You know as well part of it is I didnt think about the stages after the blood results, cause I have a history of endo & have had to have 2 laps to remove it im worried now about the state of my uterus!!! God the stress never ends does it!!
Then had a flip out moment last week before AF arrived & sheer panic set in about what if I was actually pg!!! xx
Good Luck again hun I hope to be hearing some good news from you soon xxx
I think Babyluv's questions are the ones I would ask, plus about the aspirin and progesterone. I also read on here somewhere at some point (can't remember where!!) that taking extra B6 helps.
But I think mainly I would want an explanation of the tests, what they mean for you and your hubby and what sort of ON GOING support they will give you THROUGHOUT your next pregnancy.
Good luck with it honey.

Yes have heard of HSG they use a dye to see if your tubes are blocked. Think it's very similar to the hysteroscopy which I should be having they use a dye as well & either X-Ray or use a camera to get a better look at the tubes & uterus. I know one of my tubes is bad as it sticks to my bowel & they can never get a good look at it on a US!!
That I-village link was very interesting especially as there were some women asking about the link to mc & endometriosis.
Thanks again sweetie, hope your well xx
