yeh i feel like they should have checked me out too hun, but nurse said no point as urine test was neg and especially since i had red bleeding.
I knew in my heart i had mc'd as it was exactly the same as last time so i didnt push it, could face going to sit in epu for hours anyway
Im just gonna check out that mc site. xxxx

Hey hun,
God the NHS Grrrrrrrrr........!!!! They SHOULD still do bloods to check that everything has gone back to normal hun, mostly as a matter of strict procedure, even though I had definitely mc'd my EPU told me I MUST come in for a last blood test to check the level. It had gone right back down to definitely negative at <0.5 so that put my mind at ease as I had been worried I didn't bleed much, but I was told that so early on it's okay not to bleed very much and is very rare for any retained product, and whatever was left would be extra womb lining to come away with next af naturally. Also I was put at ease I had no signs of infection (eg - pain, foul smelling discharge, flu like symptoms or heavy bleeding and cramping for long periods) But I wasn't aware of any of this before and felt it put my mind at ease, so if you are not getting any symptoms of infection or anything hun I would say you're hormones are going back to normal - BUT THEY SHOULD STILL CHECK!!!! Grrrr. Do you have an EPU at your hospital hun that you could contact? I;m really shocked they fobbed you off like that after THEIR mistake grrrr.
I've replied on your other thread too hun as I would like to know all what's inlvolved with the tests and things too!

Hi girls, well epu called me this morning to say that they dont have any bloods for me and did A&E defo take them??? EH YES!!!! Anyway she said that since my urine test was neg and ive had red blood then there wasnt really any need for me to go and see them.
But she booked me an appt for 30th July to start investigations, so im happy its quite quick and hopefully i might get some answers, i know i might not tho
Can anybody tell me what to expect from the consultant re testing and stuff? I will do a separate thread too incase anyone else can help me.
Thanks so much for all ur support girls , ur all fab.

thanks for all ur lovely messages girls and for making me go to A&E, i knew i had to just didnt wanna face it. Getting my bloods back from epu 2mrw but i know its already gone as bleeding just like af now. They said if my results are fairly tho then i dont need to go in and see them and she will arrange an appt with the recurrent mc consultant at my hosp, but it could take arnd 6wks (omg tooooo long!!!)
At least thats something. They dont seem to be overly concerned as ive had a health preg and a healthy dd only 16mths ago, but surely it cant just be bad luck it doesnt seem right? Can the things they are testing for go wrong at any point or are they likely to be there from the start?
Im so confused at the mo and gutted, i feel like ive just had enough now
Ur all lovely thank you again. Liane xx

Recurrent miscarriage testing is not as bad as it sounds, just a blood test here and there but the waiting is the worst part... I waitted 3 months in total but that included 6 weeks for the baby to be tested for chromosome analysis and they don't tend to take your blood for r/c mc testing until all the hormone is out of your system, so once I got the results from the baby then they sent my blood away for pages and pages of testing!!
I agree with Sarah though, getting the results back as normal does not help you. It just rubs salt into the wounds. My consultant is lovely though and said one more and he will refer me to Professor Lesley Reagan's fertility clinic in London which is one of the best in the world. I know its awful to think in a negative way, but at least I have that to fall back on.

Keera's Mummy,
Awww hun i ams osorry to be reading this. I have just popped on for first time in a couple of days and was so upset to see this thread, I am so sorry for what you are going through, it just isn't fair. I have just gone through the exact same thing as you hun, what they did with me was get me into the EPU for blood tests over a few days to check what the level as doing, it fell steadily over a few days so I knew what was going to happen, I started the same as you hun and sadly went onto mc on Friday just passed. If you ned to talk to someone who's just bene thrugh the same thing, please feel free to pm me hun, I am so sorry.
With regards to being investigated hun yes they should do it. Please go and speak to your GP hun. I've just had my third loss, though my first was ectopic, I've had two consecutive mc's at exactly the same stage - never getting off the ground pat 5.5 weeks. I was told at the hospital that no, I wouldn't be investigated til' I had 3 mc's but then I spoke to by lovely GP and she said b*llocks to that, as my first was ectopic, it's quite possible if it had been in the right place, it would have ended in the same way. So we are going to be reffered for fertility testing. I am now scared sh*tless, and don't know which is more worrying - them finding something wrong that can or cannot be fixed, or them finding nothing wrong and telling us it's just "bad luck" so I know how you are feeling hun, and it's just horrible. Please pm me if you need to. Sending lots of love

2/7/08 21:07
thanks girls just had some red blood when wiping and having bad period type cramps n backache i still feel so sick but its prob just all the worry, at least they may do some tests now on friday once its confirmed xx
2/7/08 20:01
so sorry hun, nothing we can say is gonna make it feel better but you know you arent alone, we've all been there so feel free to rant rave and scream cos im sure we all have done it too. so wish the outcome had been different for you and still hoping for you that on friday allis ok but we are here for you either way, take care, karen x
2/7/08 19:10
Oh hun i am really sorry that the test come back neg from them. Its the waiting game knowing either way that is the worst. If you were 5ish weeks and go to EPU they may not be able to see much on a scan anyway cos early so u migh end up going back again a week or two later. It must be awful going thro this. xx

Hey Lianne, I don't really belong in here as I haven't had a m/c before and touch wood this pg now will be ok, it is looking hopeful had blood hcg fri and sun and rise is 68% which is apparently good, no more bleeding since weds spotting and odd on and off cramps so I'm hopeful but anyway I popped in looking for you to see how it was going since you suspected loss and hadn't seen you/couldn't find you in dim or ttc was worried about you, really really felt for you with what you must be going thru so wanted to give you a big hug and wish you all the best in getting a resolution to the mc's, really hope you have a happy ending however long it takes and pm if you ever want to talk... xxxx
