Rhesus D Negative Blood.

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:17:48 -0800

Hi all, I'm new on this forum so if I get it wrong or I don't understand please forgive me.

I have Rh D Neg blood, I was told it is quite rare. I was also told it is even more rare to have more than one member of the immediate family to have this blood type. NINE members of my family have this blood group and doctors don't believe me when I tell them.....They say we should be in the guiness book of records!

Does anyone know anything about this? I have researched on the net to no avail, I have asked a paramedic friend, he said he doesn't know anything about it!

This is really getting t

Ectopic

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:49:45 -0700

This Summer I had surgery to have an Ectopic pregnancy removed. Unfortunately, the op was not successful and I had to take a further two doses of methotrexate before being given the all clear 2 months later. This has just added to my upset of having 4 failed attempts at IVF (one which resulted in a silent miscarriage at 9 weeks)

I am to have an HSG procedure in Dec to see what state my tubes are in...which is making me slightly apprehensive.

My husband and I have set ourseleves a limit of no more than 6 attempts at IVF. In January I start my 5th go. I'm feeling so negative and emotional about it all.

Ectopic and IVF

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:40:35 -0700

I have had 4 failed attempts at IVF one which resulted in a pregnancy but sadly ended in a silent miscarriage and had to be removed at 9 weeks.
Recently I discovered I was pregnant naturally but was anxious based on the past 4 failed IVF attempts. Unfortunatley, at 6 weeks it was confirmed that I had an Ectopic Pregnancy and had to have immediate surgery. As luck seems to be against me and my husband the surgery proved to be unsuccessful and I went on to require two doses of Methotrexate which took quite awhile for my HCG to drop to below 5. All the hospital visits have taken it's toll on me.

Polysistic Ovaries

Wed, 05 Jul 2006 17:37:56 -0700

Hi
I've just been diagnosed with polysistic ovaries. I do not know a lot about it. I have seen websites that say I can become infertile which is really upsetting as I would love to have another child. I had one child 11 years ago and Im not too sure if my condition has gotten worse to prevent me from having another. My period has been getting shorter & shorter for the last 3 months, could this mean I am becoming infertile. I would love to hear from anyone who has the same condition or who knows anything about it. It would be great to hear about anything I could do to reduce the loss of fertility or preventing diabeties.

Anticardiolipin Antibodies

Thu, 09 Feb 2006 03:45:21 -0800

I have just suffered my fourth miscarriage resulting from anticardiolipin antibodies. The first two my antibodies lay undetected. My third was treated by asprin but my pregnancy did not go far enough to start on heparin. I then had a beutiful baby girl following combined treatment of asprin and heparin. I have just had my fourth miscarriage and dont understand how it can work once but not again? Does anyone have any advice.

IVF

Thu, 04 Aug 2005 09:40:05 -0700

I had IVF treatment three months ago which failed and Iam not sure if I can go through all of that again. I am so upset about it but I don't want to give up.
