i had a miscarriage january 2, 2008 and its now march 28th, 2008 and i still have not come on my period ….?

it was a natural miscarriage at 6 weeks and i went to the doctor last month to take a test came up negative so did the home pregnancy test…..this is really bothering the doctor says to keep waiting but has this happened to any one eles

Side effects when coming of the pill!!?

I stopped taking the (yasmin) pill after one year as i wanted my body to rest and get back to its natural cycle (if that makes sense) So once i stopped, my period came straight away which lasted around 6-7 days. Well i had unprotected sex twice with my boyfriend thinking that its unlikely to get pregnant when you just come of the pill as your body is adjusting!! (stupid, i know) now i am noticing that my boobs are sore and im getting cramps, so im thinking that these are the side effects for coming of the pill? I took a pregnancy test just to be sure and it was negative..Im due on my period in a couple of days..So do you think this is normal?

preventing a chemical pregnancy…please help, i’m so worried!!!!?

i am on my fourth round of clomid. now last month i either ovulated twice or ovulated very late in my cycle. i ovulated on day 26 and implanted on day 33 (i know this because i had bleeding). i ended up having a chemical pregnancy five days after implantation. i believe it may be because i implanted to close to my expected period. i have been having 35-40 day cycles. my doctor did another 21 day progesterone test this month but i can’t get in to see him until Sept 21st. I think i may have implanted again this month on day 33 (last night) because i had very bad cramping which went away by this morning. i guess my question is, do i have a high chance of a chemical pregnancy again this late in my cycle??? if so, is there any vitamins or natural treatments i can take to try and better my chances? i have endometriosis too if that helps….please offer any suggestions you may have. i have to wait to take a test since i only got a very very faint BFP last month four days after my implantation.
i haven’t yet received my progesterone levels since i can’t see him until the 21st of sept. i live in Canada so unfortunately we have to take what we can get with doctors, i can’t just make an appointment with another doctor. can you buy progesterone cream over the counter or do you need a prescription?

Anyone refused consultant care in pregnancy? UK.?

Hi. I’m in the UK and I was just wondering if anyone has ever refused consultant care? I know its perfectly legal but I can’t really seem to find much information on anyone else doing this.

I’m on my third pregnancy. I had a consultant during the last pregnancy and it was totally pointless. She did absolutely nothing the midwife didn’t do when I went to see her. She literally just got some other midwife to take my blood pressure, test my urine and check the baby’s heartbeat and off I went. It costs a lot of money for me to get to the hospital because I don’t drive and its quite far away so the taxi fare’s are expensive and my husband works full time so he has a struggle trying to fit the appointments around his work when its just midwife appointments let alone consultant ones as well (I need him to come because I can’t hold two children and have everything checked, its impossible, and they’re both too young to sit alone, there’s also no other family members that can come).
The midwife referred me to a consultant because my two labours haven’t been straight forward (one was shoulder dystocia, other was PPH from a partially retained placenta and needed a blood transfusion). But my pregnancies have been totally fine and normal, i’ve had no problems at all and i’m other wise in perfect health. It seems a bit silly to me because there’s nothing a consultant can do to prevent something happening during a labour besides give me an elected c-section which she told me last time won’t happen because I’m definitely not high risk enough and its such a risky procedure. So it just seems pointless for me to drag myself to the consultant every month or whatever.
However every time i’ve rang up to cancel the appointment i’ve been told by the receptionist that she can’t cancel it for me because the midwife has referred me so I have no choice but to turn up. So i’ve tried to get through to the midwife to tell her to cancel it but the only number I have for the midwife is absolutely useless- throughout all three of my pregnancies I have never rang that number and got through to anybody, ever. So i’ve not gone to any of them. My next one is set for Monday which I definitely couldn’t attend even if I wanted to because I have another important appointment that I go to at the same time every week that I definitely can’t rearrange. I told the receptionist this and she was very unhelpful telling me that I had to cancel my other appointment and go to this one.. Sigh.

So i’m at a loss as to what to do. I also have the midwife on Monday so I think i’m just going to tell her that I really don’t feel I need a consultant. My pregnancies have all been totally normal and explain how much of a fuss it is for me to get there. But i’m just scared she’s going to be rude or nasty to me, or try and tell me I have no option but to go even though I know I do by law.

I also want a home birth which I know the midwife definitely wasn’t keen on after my last labours. But i’ve done my research and I now know of ways to prevent both from happening again, and I also know the chances of either happening again are absolutely minute, they’re both extremely rare things to happen. My last labour was all natural and completely normal, it went wrong because they injected me to make the placenta come and so the part of the drug which makes your placenta deliver kicked in too quickly and a part of my placenta wasn’t ready to come away, so it got stuck and thus the blood loss. So I now know to have a natural placenta delivery to prevent that occurring again, and that was all that went wrong, the delivery was perfectly normal.

So anyway i’m panicking now because the appointment is on Monday and I know i’m going to have to be quite confrontational and get to the point, which is something I’ve never liked to do. I was just hoping to hear some other similar-ish experiences so I feel like i’m not just being a little fuss pot! lol.

Thanks in advance 🙂
