Re: uu - poss preg, Sheryl

[Guest guest]

Sheryl,

I too am a uu and have suffered through 5 miscarriages. My first

pregnancy was in September of 2002. I was 13wks when I started

bleeding. I was told that it was a blighted ovum (not related to

uu) and miscarried a couple of days later. I took a year off from

ttc. Within the last 9 months I've been pregnant and miscarried 4

more times - all prior to 8 wks. I only received one ultrasound for

these pregnancies. Nothing even showed up on this u/s. It was not

until my third pregnancy that they discovered my uu. I was showing

signs of an ectopic pregnancy (severe chest pain). I was rushed for

surgery and they removed my left non-communicating tube along with

the pregnancy. I was told that the pregnancy occured on the right

side but instead of going into the good tube, it migrated across my

body into the non-attached tube. Because the tube was non-

communicating it was destined to be ectopic. After discovering my

uu, I miscarried two additional times prior to 8 wks. Five

miscarriages later, I was still not referred to a specialist! I was

just this September that I finally saw a specialist for the first

time. The doctors are not sure why I'm miscarrying. They've asked

me to put my ttc on hold until all tests are completed. I've been

sent for a slew of blood tests and a thyroid ultrasound. I will be

getting the results next week. Next thursday I'm also scheduled for

an HSG. One of my blood tests did come back slightly abnormal. It

was called an APC ratio (Active Protein C Resistance ration) I've

yet to discuss the results with my doctor but it has something to do

with blood clotting. Have you been tested for this? I've also

heard from other uu'ers that there is often poor blood supply going

to the baby because of the underdeveloped uterus and arteries. Have

you had any u/s for any of your pregnancies? What did they show?

Please keep me updated on your possible pregnancy and treatments.

I feel our stories are similar and we may be able to learn from each

other what tests to have our doctors perform.

I wish you the best of luck!!

I got the call yesterday from my specialist and the test was

positive. I am 5wks today. I'm excited and scared at the same

time. I'm trying to be very positive.

I think you should go through all the testing first before ttc

again. Maybe they'll come up with some answers. I am taking 400mg

progesterone a twice a day and a baby aspirin once a day. I'll

continue that until they tell me not to. The only thing I might do

this time is ask them to wait until 8wks for the ultrasound. They

usually to them at 6wks on me. It seems like everytime I have an

ultrsound the 1st one is fine. Then I go back for the 2nd one and

the there is no heartbeat and no growth since the 1st one. Not that

that has anything to do with the us, its just weird.

I would love to talk to you. I got your email at home, but am

unable to send you an email back to the stacykyle2003 address. Let

me know what your correct address is.

Thanks for you reply and best of luck to you as well.

Sheryl,

Hey, I noticed you were from Phoenix and wondered if you would mind

telling who your specialist is, as my brother and his wife need a

specialist in the Phoenix area. And congrats on the pregnancy!!!

Good luck,

I go to Arizona Reproductive Medicine Specialists. I see Dr. Mark

. He is very personable and understanding. Also he is very

easy to talk to and answers any questions you have. I started out

seeing Dr. Moffitt and switched later on. The website for them is

www.arizonarms.com and their phone is .

Is your sister-in-law a uu? I've looked for someone here that is a

uu, but haven't had any luck.

Good luck to you as well.

Thanks Sheryl. Actually, I think my sister in law is normal, but my

brother has problems (no sperm in his seminal fluid). They found out

he is producing sperm, but very few and they don't know where it is.

He is seeing Dr. Gunnala at Southwest Fertility Clinic, but I wanted

to e-mail him this info in case they need a second opinion. Thank

you very much.
