A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[wookie130]

Thanks girls!

Yes Wookie- DH and I have all sorts of RMC testing including chromosomes on both of us. Nothing to indicate why this keeps happening. The only issues that came out of the testing is low homocysteine and low progesterone. Both of which I take supplements for (although I wasn't very good about taking them this cycle because I was sort of NTNP. I don't know, the MCs that were tested were also both different issues. I was seeing an RE for over a year and they just chalk it up to bad luck.

all the way around, girl.

Thanks girls! I am doing ok today. The bleeding has definitely gotten heavier but pretty much like a period, no major pain yet. MC #2 was an early and natural one for me and I remember it being very painful so I am hoping this one won't be like that. I don't feel too upset about this one for some reason, not sure if its because its so early or because I am just getting use to this. I was supposed to go to the doctor tomorrow but I changed my appt until next week. I really don't feel like getting probed and I'd rather them check later to be sure betas are fully down and everything has cleared so my appt is Wednesday. It is comforting that I can start TTC again soon since this us such an early loss.

My RE mentioned the IVF with PGD before as an option but the success rates of IVF are so low. My other doctor also did not believe that would help as there are so many genetic disorders that can't be tested with PGD. They felt that since I get pregnant easily, and if I could handle it mentally that I should just keep trying on my own.

Soop- I still hope you're prego, forget what the accu lady said!!

 

[mommylov]

Big beach. It's great that you will able to ttc soon hun. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this again I have a dumb question... What's PGD? Oh hun, I truely hope you are able to get some answers.

 

[BeachChica]

Mommylov - there are no dumb questions on here. I was completely blown away by all the pregnancy acronyms when I first started, I used to keep a little cheat sheet for the basic ones until I learned them LOL. There is so much to learn through this process and most of what I have learned have been through others experiences so always ask!! The more you know the better!

PGD - stands for preimplantation genetic diagnosis - it is genetic testing that is used in conjunction with the IVF process where once the eggs are fertilized, they actually test the genetics of the embryos for chromosomal problems. They would then only implant the "normal" ones. You can even pick if you want boys or girls during the process! It's crazy! The problem is that doctors can only test for the bigger genetic issue like missing or extra chromosomes not the other less noticable genetic issues that can occur on the strand. Also, its a very expensive procedure that adds about $10K to the regular IVF cost with no guarantees that the egg will implant, something else will occur during its development, or that your body will miscarry.

 

[mommylov]

Oh wow! I didnt know they could do that. I knew that you could pick out the gender when you go through IVF but didnt know they could test for certain abnormalities. Science is really amazing isnt it? That being said, with our technology and the fact that you are pretty fertile, I have no doubt that you will be able to carry full term hun. Im praying for you and still hope that you can get some answers sooner than later. It is crazy how much we learn about our bodies and different things out there going through this process. I dont know about you but at times when I want to just throw in the towel, its comforting to know that others are going through the same thing and are rooting for you.

 

[BeachChica]

So true Mommylov - its the girls on here that have experienced MC after MC and then go on to have a successful pregnancy that keep me going!

 

[mommylov]

I feel the same way!

 

[monro84]

mommylov--clomid I have heard can mimic pregnancy symptoms kinda like progesterone. But FX its not th clomid thats causing them.

Beach--just remember I went through exactly what you just went through before I got pregnant with this one. Late bfp, hcg was 22 then 54 then 12. I even knew and had prepaired my self that I was going to mc. I had a feeling. And when I did I was not upset b/c I had already known what was going to happen. I mc at 5 wks 1 day. 4 cycles later I was pregnant again with this one. Sorry if I have asked you before (I know I probable have) but you said you had testing done did you ever get tested for uterian abnomilies. Bicornate, septate, or other ones. You can have MRI's, or Saline ultrasound, or even hsg's and can still be misdiagnosed if the dr is not familier with them and you are in the same city that the best mullerian abnomilie dr is in Dr. Vali in tampa is world renounded. I have not been to him but on a mullerian forum on yahoo the ladies rave about him.

Hi girls :wave:! Happy Friday everyone ! I took my test this morning but called and the nurse told me that it takes 24 hours for the progesterone to come back and since its friday I wont get the results until monday (They are closed over the weekend). So more waiting for me

How is everyone doing? Daily to you all!

Monro - Ive heard the same thing so all the twinges and aches Im feeling Im just telling myself its the Clomid or Progesterone. On a happier note, I ordered a basal thermometer and got it in the mail last night. Took my temp this morning at it was at 98.2. It usually is at 96.somthing before O and I saw it rise with my other thermometer to about 97.8 the past couple of days so it went up a little more. I dont know if Clomid affects your temp but I was excited about that!

 

[NewToAllThis]

Hi girls

Beach - hope you're doing ok hun

Monro - 16 weeks tomorrow congratulations!

Wookie, mommylov, Lexi, Nicki, Ayclobes and anyone else I forgot - hope you're all ok.

AFM - hanging in there waiting *taps foot impatienty*
Got my 12 week scan date through and was whilst I was away so I rang them this morning and rearranged. It's now Monday 25th at 2:35pm!

It's the day after we get back from Spain so will either be a fab end to the holiday or a shit one! Hoping for the first option.
Have felt less sick the last couple of days but have had lots of tummy sensations, pulling, twinges, aching muscles so I'm hoping they are good signs!

Thank god it's Friday, I am knackered beyond belief!

Have a great weekend all xxx

 

[mommylov]

NTAT, Enjoy your vaca and you will come back to great news! I feel like since we have gone through what we have gone through, EVERYTHING becomes a waiting game! People that havent gone through a mc go about thier lives without a care in the world. They arent anxious and wishing days away like we are.

 

[NewToAllThis]

You're so right mommylov, I would love to be cherishing every moment if this instead of dreading every twinge and wishing time away!

I am so envious of people's innocence who haven't suffered miscarriage, it's something I will never experience.

Good luck to you

 

[monro84]

mommylov-- I hope its not the clomid now if it has affected your progestrone like make it go up it will affect the temps b/c the progestrone affected mine I think it made mine go up from 98.1 to 98.4. If it does not then that could be a good sign How may dpo are u now?

NTAT--Awe thank you looks like your turning day is tomorrow too congrats on 11 wks I bet when you come back you will get to hear your baby's HB at the US and it will be wiggling around in there.

Thank you! Yes, 11 weeks tomorrow -I can't believe I got this far! (Fxd all is well ofc). I hope you're right about my appointment, I really do

 

[mommylov]

I Hope so too Monroe and thanks for the info! There are so many things that Clomid can affect and I feel so dumb because I dont even know the half of it. I wont get my progesterone results until monday. Im on Crinone and was worried that would some how come into play but I was told by my dr that the Crinone doesnt affect the progesterone levels in the blood therefore its a true test of what my body is doing. Now, does the Clomid change that? That I dont know and is where Im stummped. I would think it does since Clomid can help with Progesterone levels and so I hope the change in temp isnt just because of the Clomid.

Im 7dpo today.. the next few days are going to drag Im sure lol

 

[Nicki123]

Flying visit but wanted to say happy weekend ladies

 

[mommylov]

Progesterone came back at 12.45... Much better than my 10.something last cycle

 

[MrsWindsor]

Ladies, I'm so pleased I found this thread. I turn 41 in 2 weeks and feel as though time may be running out. We are trying for #1 after losing our baby at 12 weeks (Nov 11) after our scan showed that the baby had Edwards Syndrome (luckily tests have shown that neither of us are carriers). After not having a period for almost a year, I fell pregnant again but miscarried at 5 weeks. I had a hysteroscopy in Jan 12 and all was well so we'll see what happens in 2013....
In the last 15 months so many of my friends and family have had successful pregnancies and beautiful babies. It's so hard sometimes you know?!

[mommylov]

Temp went from 98.2 to 97.8 so I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle. Aside from weird cramps I have had no symptons so just waiting for af at this point.

Im new to Clomid and temping and all but I read that the dip that I had today could be due to implantation? Im not really keeping my hopes up this round due to the lack of symptoms. My last two pregnancies I didnt get a BFP until the day af was due and af isnt due for me until this fri-sat so who knows. Wed is the EDD for my first that I lost so the timing couldnt be worse

 

[BeachChica]

MrsWindsor - Welcome to the thread and so sorry for your losses. You will find some great information on here and a great group of supportive ladies!

Mommylov - a temperature dip on 6-12 DPO could be an implantation dip but it could also mean AF on the way. Its hard to tell from your limited temperature entries, we'll see what happens over the next couple days. Are you going to temp daily or just after O? The data is better the more you do it.
