Just wondering if there's anyone else who's been through a miscarriage after BC? My husband and I started trying I'm Sept last year having been given the go ahead by my oncologist. He recommended that if I wasn't pregnant by Jan this year that they refer me for IVF (we did embro storage in between my surgery and chemo) by the Jan when I wasn't pregnant I went to my GP and we stared the whole process off... Blood, fertility testing, scan... Only to find out at the routine scan I was 4 weeks pregnant - I was over the moon but from day one by GP was very doom and gloom - to add to my woes I have underactive thyroid ( which also adds to fertility issues and can cause m/c and still birth if not monitored) anyway long story short after routine bloods they thought something wasn't right and referred me to the early pregnancy unit. The babies heartbeat was intermittent - I was sent home and told to wait two weeks. At 8 weeks my babies heartbeat was gone. Because of my medical history we opted for an assisted miscarriage with medication, which was a disaster -I lost too much blood any had to be rushed to hospital and the surgical team intervened to save my life (again!). The whole thing was traumatic and stressful. Everyone keeps saying at least you know you can get pregnant... But that's little consolation and actually after the emergency treatment I had to have we don't know if I can. This coupled with the other well intended, 'miscarriages are very common' makes me want to scream! I feel like screaming at them, yes they are but having had breast cancer, chemo and radiation prior to loosing your first child in such a horrific ordeal is not!!! - wondered if there were any other ladies out there who have had a miscarriage after breast cancer? My best friend from school is due two weeks after our due date so feeling a little isolated right now...
