Ladies, any new news??

Miskas mommy - have you tested yet?

Smille24 - How do you feel, how many DPO are you?

Hi ladies – I’m looking for some secondary infertility support and thought I would pop by here and see if I might join you all. I’ve just suffered my second miscarriage in a row trying to conceive our second. We have a 3.5 year old daughter. We have an appt with our doctor in early July to talk through some things and do some testing, so I’m trying to get my ducks in a row before then, determine what I should push for testing-wise, and getting myself healthy and on various supplements until then. Although we officially aren’t trying, I sort of want to NTNP until the appt because I hate to wait that long. Although that would only delay testing if things go south again.

I haven’t read through this whole thread but congrats to you faith on your bfp!! Fx everything is going well!

Smille so sorry about AF this month.

Miskas Mommy I hope this is your month!

coucou11 - so sorry for your 2 mc Knowing you already have a child and technically you have got pregnant are great signs. But I think my main question to the doctor is why the babies aren't sticking? Were you getting blood work to test the progesterone levels? (usually done on the 20-21 CD)?

 

[coucou11]

Thank you Faith! I agree, there are definitely some good signs. My first MC was an MMC so there didn’t seem to be any progesterone issues there. After that I had some trouble getting pregnant again and I talked to my doctor about my short luteal phase, so she put me on progesterone suppositories from 3 DPO onward. With this last pregnancy, my betas stopped doubling after week 5 so I stopped the progesterone to let the MC happen naturally.

My biggest concern is just that I keep getting random genetic defects in my eggs, and that there is just nothing we can do. I would hate to just have to keep gambling and seeing if the baby makes it (especially as I am already 34!)

How are you feeling this time around?

Could be your eggs, but it could also be his sperm. Has he done a SA? Its much more cheaper! Are you seeing an OB or a Fertility Specialist? I know a fertility specialist will do ultra sounds through your CDs to see whats going inside. I would try this step if you haven't first! I am not quite sure of the testing for the eggs. Have you been on any type of fertility drug?

This is what I just read
Day 3 FSH and Estradiol Test
Blood is drawn on day 3 of a woman’s menstrual cycle to measure the baseline of Follicle Stimulating Hormone her body is producing. If her FSH baseline is elevated, this might be an indication of poor egg quality and quantity. Estradiol levels are also evaluated. If a FSH baseline comes back normal, but there is an increase in Estradiol production, there is reason to suspect that the Estradiol is suppressing the FSH levels.

While there is no definitive test available to determine the health of your eggs, there are ways for doctors to tell how healthy your fertility is at the present time. By undergoing a simple blood test, you can avoid the need for more aggressive treatments down the road.

Thanks! We have not done SA yet but I will definitely ask my doc about it. I will be seeing my OB to start, hopefully that will be enough but I imagine depending on the results of whatever testing she does, we will determine if more help is needed. No fertility drugs yet.

That blood test you read about sounds very interesting! I will definitely keep that on my list and see if they might do that test. Ugh I just want June to be over! The waiting is hard.

 

[faith2015]

I totally understand!! It took us about 8 months of trying before it happened. 6 rounds of clomid and the next thing was HSG and a referral to a specialist! Whew, thank goodness this baby decided to stay before we emptied our savings acct. Fertility isn't covered in our health insurance plan

DD just turned 6 and is officially a 1st grader . How time flies. I've been running around trying to get her party in order. DH is officially done working 72 hrs and is now doing 40 hr weeks . It's been nice to reconnect but he's still recovering.
