Hi everyone, I've been reading this thread since early March when I was pregnant in my first trimester. I just went for a D&C on Wed as my pregnancy wasn't progressing well, this is my 3rd mc but my 1st D&C.
My first 2 mcs happened when I was in Australia when my hubby was posted for work. The mcs were both natural, first one with no heartbeat and second was a blighted ovum. This time the third one is also a blighted ovum.
When I returned bk in sg mid last year, a friend recommended me to see TSB. My friend also suffered from 3-4 recurrent miscarriages but after seeing TSB, she gave birth to healthy baby boy and her 2nd boy is due in May. I've been seeing TSB since July 2013. When I got pregnant this 3rd time, she gave me some 安胎药; they were awful but I diligently took them as prescribed, but the med couldn't save my baby anyhow. I realised I was preggie in early Feb but i started spotting since end Feb and all the way till I went for my D&C. My gynae gave me Utrogeston pills and even a jab once but it doesn't help.
I have always got spotting before my menses and I highlighted this to TSB and she said it means my uterus is not strong and she will give me med to stop the spotting, but it still happen. I've heard that TSB expertise is in infertility, but I'm able to conceive naturally. I'm thinking to switch to see another TCM doc that includes acupuncture. FYI, TSB will give all her patients who are pregnant, her mobile number. But I find it useless as when I updated her after my scan, there is no reply from her. So I asked her at my next appt and she said she has too many patients and they don't indicate their names. But I told her I did and even state my patient number. But then the next scan I SMS her again, there is also no reply from her.
I'm now currently doing a mini confinement and have ordered confinement food for a week. I even wear socks and slippers at home. My next appointment with my gynae is in 3 weeks time and I hope from the lab test we will be able to find out the problem. My gynae also found a small polyp during the D&C procedure and removed it too for lab test.
When I realised my 3rd pregnancy isn't going well, I really felt like giving up being a mother. However my husband doesn't wanna give up and he suggested to me IVF or similar assistance where good eggs/sperms are selected. But my gynae has different opinion and said it's not guaranteed.
I wanna give each and everyone of you here a pat on the shoulder, you gals are really strong, especially Hopeful_Mum, I tink I saw you at the 2ww thread before. Congrats on your good news!
