Missed miscarriage update

well ... 1 month ago  I choose  to have a  medical termination for my  missed miscarriage , I  am very  pleased  with the results ...   I feel  great ..   I had a couple of  bad  days  .. the 31 of december I did  an ultrasound and  it  seems I did had  some  retained  product ,  the  doctors insisted me  to have a D&C but  I choose  to wait , I  had my period  the  31 of  december  and for my next  ultrasound  everything  cleared  up, I was  very  upset  as I didnt  really  wanted  to do another  D&C  as  I only had  just a fragment of my placenta, and  to be honest  the D&C is a blind procedure , in which  they can not see  where  exactly is the fragment in your  utero. I would  never  recommend  another  d&c .

I ask  the doctors if  it was possible to have a hysteroscopy for the management of retained product of  conception   instead  of a  d&c , but they  refuse , they said that it was not  possible as you have to push  liquid with pression  for being able to introduce the camera , they said  the pression could make the fragments to move to the  fallopian tubes ...

But I read in many of the Gynecological journals  online that  hysteroscopy is actually the best  method to  treat  retained product as  is less invasive and  let the doctor has a clear view of  what's going on in the uterus..

In my advise , always  read  , read and read  , as  is very important  to have  knowledge of what  the doctors are doing to you  and why they are  doing it,  don't  let yourself be fool by the doctors , some of them they just don't have enough time  to read  the latest treatments or they are very conservative in the way they practice . This  doctor in the hospital didn't  wanted me to use the misoprostol  instead  of the d&c ,  he  predict  it  would be retained product  in my uterus .. but  he  didnt expect that  my  body was going to settle  down  and eliminate this product  by itself ......
at the  end  I think doctors were  rushing me to have a  d&c ,in fact ,   they offer me this procedure 4 times after  the misoprostol,  I was  just  imagining  how many  women are  rushed by their doctors to  do this type of  procedures.  I guess there is more money .


I did call to colombia  to one of the best Doctors available , he is an specialist  in high risk pregnancies , he was  very kind with me  ,  he totally understood my case ,   he  answer my email and then he was  very  nice  on the phone with me , he  didn't  charge me any money , for his time , and  he was actually very please to hear that I was calling him from so far away ... and he was  very very  very  kind and cooperative ,  he also agree with the procedure I was  interested  in , he actually  told me that in cases of  retained  product  hysteroscopy is the  optimal procedure with the best  results , he also told me  that  is a  ambulatory procedure  in which they  put local anesthesia .


You  just can't imagine my  face when in my last scan  my uterus  look  beautiful  & clean  ..... I was over the moon ....  I follow my  heart  this  time , I just did  what it  felt  right  :-)     and I am so happy  with the results .. :-)

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:

Is monday december the 9 , I finish loosing this baby too, but I gained hope after seen the babie's heartbeat twice, 

I did stoped the heparine on thursday, and yesterday I was making some photos for my ebay store: I am selling a some things with the hope I can visit an Ivf clinic for a future treatment .. 

My ebay : Summerdayz_lovers  

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 :-) 

Ultrasound number 4 : Little Embryo , Where are you ????

Last week on Monday I had my ultrasound number 3 , and I was devastated with the results , embryo suppose to be 7 or 8  weeks , but is almost invisible in the ultrasound  , the radiology Technician and I we only could see a little point  hidden in a corner  with a clear  heartbeat of 59 bpm , she say  the embryo looks like  5 weeks and 4 days .
4 weeks ago  I had an ultrasound and it shows a  6 week  2 days baby with signs of  bradycardia  ( only 47 bpm  )
Today Monday 2 of december  Scan number 4 :  I got the  worse radiologist technician I ever had , very arrogant and stink  cigarette oddor. It was disgusting  but I had to do it , I was needing some answers  or some relief  after last  week .
So first  I ask if it was possible to have a female  conducting the ultrasound ,( but there was none) , as I have a retroverted uterus that in many cases don’t let see anything  in the scans so we always finish doing  vaginal scans  .
The initial ultrasound of my womb  shows  the sac , but he actually though I was too early . When I explained  that I already had 3 previous scans,  he look at me  as If I am crazy , when I try to explain that we saw the heartbeat  and the little embryo 3 weeks ago .
He say something  like ” is very clear  there is nothing here ”  so I beg him to please  perform a vaginal  scan  as I would prefer it .
although  the technician was very uncooperative, he was very unkind and  even unprofessional , he still perform the Vaginal Scan ,  I guess because my hubby was there trying to support me , and gave him  the look .
Although the radiologist  didn’t mention  anything during or after the scan , Brad and I we could  see it , It looks like a  blighted ovum , I know blighted ovums , from my last  2 pregnancies , the difference  today it was that I am  sure that 1 week ago  there was still  a little embryo  with his heartbeat  and fetal pole there  and  3 weeks before that scan , I  could perfectly see  the little embryo with his heartbeat .
so what happen today ?
where is my little baby ??
I am totally  devastated ,  I can not think , I can not  function . I was thinking something was wrong , but  today  is totally  worse ,  my little  embryo has vanished from  the sac ……    what a day  :-(
