I got pregnant, Doctor I need the Heparin please !!!

I visited an specialist  Colombia last year, he reckon the Proteine S disorder could be the cause for me to keep loosing the babies, as  your body is more prone to form really small clots, some of them extremely small in your womb, preventing the embryo to be well nourished and  die.
The specialist in Colombia  Dr Becerra Mojica, is absolutely sure that if you have this type of dissorder you should start a low molecular heparine (Clexane ) treatment as early as 3 days of conception.

When I arrived to Australia I went for my regular checks to the  hospital where they have been investigating my case with no success  and I  had a chat with the specialist at the Townsville hospital , after a little argue we agreed  that once I realized I was pregnant  they would send me  the prescription for the clexane .  The problem was that when I realised that I was pregnantI tried to contact the doctor at the hospital with no success , I was extremely stressed out , as Iwanted to start the progesterone and the heparin as soon as possible.

 After calling  to the hospital  a hundred times I finally got in touch with a nurse who promise talk to my doctor , but he told her to let me know, the clexane was  not that important for me , and he recommended to  keep taking the folic acid  . The nurse  also agree to book me an appointment for the next week, she recomend to take the blood results and  if possible an ultrasound.

 I went to my appointment ,   I couldn't see the doctor , instead I saw another  doctor  and I spend  the whole 30 minutes  telling her my story . I ask her for the  heparin , and she said they need the ultrasound that confirm the pregnancy first .

Next day I went for my ultrasound , and I supposed to see the doctors at the hospital next week ,  fo this appointment I had  my ultrasound that confirm my pregnancy and my progesterone results  and  my HCG  levels results that confirm my levels are going up .

One week later , I went for my  doctors appointment,  doctor saw the  ultrasound results and he said  is too early , I need to see a heartbeat before sending you any clexane .  OMG , I was so stressed out,  now I was needing to  come back for another ultrasound and  another medical appointment  in 1 week.

My previous 3 pregnacies ending before  finding any heartbeat,   the last 2 were blighted ovums , and the one previous that  stop developing at 8 weeks  and  no heartbeat found, so to find a heartbeat this  time  was gonna be not an easy task .

The day of my ultrasound  I was  in panic , I was so scared ,   I was only needing a heartbeat, to be able to get the clexane , I pray so much ,  I really wanted to give  an opportunity to this baby .



 They did they normal ultrasound and then a vaginal as the first one didn't show up anything .
The vaginal ultrasound  show the little sac   with a little  embryo inside  :-)  OMG I was  happy , I was  so happy , and in top of that  she ask  if I  could  see the heartbeat , OMG !!!!! there was a little heartbeat  ....  so tiny, and  beautiful , was incredible  :-) AMAZING !!

She said : is a little bit slow 47bpm  ,  but is definitively there  :-)

The most beautiful day in my entire life  :-) 

Next week I came back to doctor , and doctor prescribe  the clexane!!!!!!  :-)



Update:

Well my  belly look like this after the clexane... It looks worse than it actually felt.. I also gained a lot of weight around my belly area, My face & my back as a consequence of the prednisone...

But this is just the small price for giving my baby a chance :-) 

Unexplained Recurrent Miscarriages : Baby number 5

Hello Everybody,
My name is  Johanna  and everybody calls me YoYo.  I am a spanish speaking  girl  living in Australia 7 years ago , so please I apologise in advance If my  English  is not the best .
Today is my  first post  ever.
My purpose with this blog is telling you my story, and may be help you  to find  the answers you need  to overcome  your current situation or just to let you know that  you are not the only one , I was there too  and many other women  were  and are there too . This blog  is my way of looking  for  healing for myself , healing through  expressing what for years I have been never been able to  properly talk with anyone.
This is my way to reach that like me  have a history of  ”unexplained recurrent/repetitive  miscarriages”.
I am 33 years old ,  and I have been pregnant 5  times .
As a matter of fact  I am currently pregnant  I supposed to be 8 weeks  or more  but my last ultrasound  1 week ago  shows  5 week 4 days  embryo ,  heartbeat:  59 Bpm,  they found  fetal pole too .
About 3 weeks  ago , the embryo  seems to be  6 weeks 2 days,   they found  heartbeat:  47 Bpm  consistent with a bradycardia  (very low heart beat) The radiologist  advised nothing to worry about as it might be that babies heart Just start  Beating  .
Even though  I am freaking out , a  heartbeat , was the last request from the doctor at  the hospital  , before  he would authorise to give me  the  prescription for Clexane .  Clexane  is one of the drugs I am currently using to prevent   my body of producing  clots.  Was very difficult  to convince  my doctor  at the hospital in Australia l to  prescribe it.

The doctors at the Townsville hospital  consider that Protein S deficiency   was not low enough as to  prescribe  the Clexane . ( my results were 47 , normal ranges start at 59 )   I am also  a low positive for the Anticardiolipin antibodies, for which they send me to take  baby aspirin  and folic acid .
So today  Monday 2 of December of 2014 ,  at 4 pm  I got  to visit the “North  Xray ” for another ultrasound .  Is currently  8.46 am , I have  a Psychologist appointment  ( thanks for the mental health  government fund for this )  and then  I have to wait to   see the results in this ultrasound .
I had  1 ultrasound last week  at the hospital that shows basically nothing   but the heartbeat , and one previous that one 3 weeks ago that shows  the most beautiful thing I  ever saw in my life    That day I couldn’t  believe what my eyes were looking   I had 5 previous pregnancies , the 2 last ones , blighted ovum . But  in this one , a little embryo  develop  was  amazing , tears were falling from my eyes  .
