Just had to say it.
I spoke of a lady a while back that I know from my fertility clinic. She got pregnant via ivf the same time I got pregnant with our last. She got pregnant with triplets.
This same lady was pregnant with twins last year. One was reduced due to Turners syndrome. The second was born early at 22 weeks. She was told it was unlikely her cervix was the issue (by the same perinatal team I use) that it probably had something to do with the reduction.
When she got pregnant with the triplets she was confronted by the cerclage question, to get one or not. Her OB said yes her Peri said no. The situation is a little more difficult considering the HOM pregnancy. She decided to go without.
Had an appointment early this week (17 weeks) everything looked good. Two days later she is in the hospital with bulging membranes. She delivered her triplets born still last night identical boys and a girl. A rescue cerclage had been planned (like in my case) but she was contracting and it couldn't be done.
Crap.
I am angry at the world for her. No one should have to endure that. 5 dead babies.
If I get pregnant again....I will be going for a cerclage. I no longer care what the supposed specialist thinks. Obviously losing a baby doesn't phase him much....as he told this lady after her first lost "you can just try again."

she can just "try again" jesus! That's awful! That's a bullshit line for anyone who has lost a baby.... but for a couple who experience infertility, and who need IVF to conceive!? My heart goes out to her!!
What a shitty circumstance. I would be absolutely LIVID in her case. I think if she was going to try again, I would want a transabdominal cerclage. 5 dead babies is 5 dead babies too many.
That is so incredibly sad and awful. If there's anything I do, please let me know. And it definitely makes the case for cerclage.
5 dead babies... I can't even imagine. As Emily said above, 5 = 5 too many.
