Need to rant NHS are useless.
I went to see my doctor the other day as i have been having pain in one of my legs turns out it is just a trapped nerve but having previously had DVT thought it best to check.
Anyhow whilst there i discussed with him my frustration at not being able to get pregnant again after m/c 7 months ago. He went on to tell me he would just check my blood test results after m/c.
Turns out i should have had a test straight after m/c due to having previous DVT as i may well have sticky blood. Where have they been all this time ?
If i do have sticky blood it can stop blood getting to the placenta therefore causing m/c.
I have also had a chemical m/c month before last.
I am now just awaiting my results.
The doctor has told me they can not look into doing any more tests until 12 months is up.
Bl**dy NHS.

Can't believe they just 'missed' that test!! How blinking annoying is that!!
I've got sticky blood, they didn't do test until i had 3 m/c... although i was asking for a test after the 2nd one!!
Hope everything goes well hun xx
Good Luck xx
I was told to have 400mg folic acid, which is VERY important if you have sticky blood, and some are also told to have baby aspirin (ive got 75mg) whilst TTC, and continuing throughout the pregnancy.
From 4/5weeks, you have to inject yourself with heprin (sp?), to aid thinning the blood.
It is pretty common and once diagnosed, i haven't heard or read about any side effects or problems!!
Loads of babydust and best wishes to you hun!!
Bex - will let you know what happens (i think it will be a week or two for the results)
