I know, I know it’s been an absolute age since I last updated my blog *slaps wrists* but I’m going to rectify that now. As you’ll know, after the ectopic last year we were referred to the Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic for numerous blood tests, which were thankfully all fine. However, fine means that we have no explanation for the losses… Read More
8 Years
I can’t believe today marks 8 years since we officially started trying for a family. Today is also a year since the Ectopic was diagnosed, although surgery didn’t take place until the following morning. I never believed 8 years ago that we wouldn’t have our family by now, and I didn’t believe a year ago that we wouldn’t at least… Read More
Fed up!
As the title says I’m fed up. I’m several weeks in to taking Metformin and I’m not seeing any difference. I was lead to believe it would help with weight loss but for me I’ve just plateaued, when I was previously doing so well sans Metformin. All it seems to have done for me is give me nausea, and I… Read More
Metformin
So, I’ve started taking the Metformin which I guess means we’ve made our decision to keep trying for a baby ourselves and put the adoption process on hold. I’m not sure if this is the right decision. I mean if we don’t keep trying then I’ll always wonder what if, but can I really put myself us through more months… Read More
Recurrent miscarriage follow up appointment
Nearly 2 weeks ago we had our follow-up recurrent miscarriage appointment. Whilst we were in the waiting room I was trying to work out which Dr we’d see based on how the patients were being called. I was pretty sure we’d see the Consultant, then another Dr appeared from nowhere and called my name. She was the Registrar I saw… Read More
36
Another year has past and here we are again, another birthday. My 36th. I’d like to say what a difference a year makes, in a good way, but I guess the last year HAS made a difference in my our lives. If you’re a regular reader of my blog you’ll know that towards the end of last year I fell pregnant… Read More
Recurrent Miscarriage appointment
Finally, after 4 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy, we had our first appointment at the Recurrent Miscarriage clinic at Hertford County Hospital on Wednesday. Whilst waiting to go in the nurse asked if we minded seeing the Registrar as the Consultant wasn’t there. Of course it’s always great to see the “top bod” but to be honest, the number of… Read More
First cycle after Ectopic
I’m currently in the dreaded two week wait, of my first proper cycle following the Ectopic pregnancy. I’m not quite sure how I feel about that. I mean, a part of me a huge part of me really hopes we’ve been lucky enough to fall pregnant right away, but then there’s a part of me that’s scared to get pregnant so… Read More
