Take a look at black cohosh...normally would not be a fan, but it might be good in this case.

Thanks Dmom, i will have to look when i get home. All websites that contain it seem to be blocked here at work.

 

[hugs3409]

hmmm ok, only reason I asked is because I would rather try something to naturally help my body along if I get the bad news again tomorrow, then to go have a d&c done. I will google it and see what I find

 

[dachsundmom]

Ladies, I know I am the oddball on this one, but I don't think that natural necessairly = better.

 

[Wendyk07]

Thanks Hugs, much appreciated.

I was going to suggest provera to them on thursday but i really think they have there mind made up. I need Af to start before the appointment i think. No easy feit but i am not known for doing things the easy way.

Wendy - this is from wikipedia...it says waiting only 1 full cycle...I know doctors tend to be more conservative and that is probably why they gave you the 3 month waiting period. But holy f*** this drug also treats cancer!

Women must not take the drug during pregnancy, if there is a risk of becoming pregnant, or if they are breastfeeding. Men who are trying to get their partner pregnant must also not take the drug. To engage in any of these activities (after discontinuing the drug), women must wait until the end of a full ovulation cycle and men must wait three months

 

[dachsundmom]

The fertility drugs that I am on were designed originally to treat breast cancer, lol. They have the same warning on the label. It's all so confusing.

Its not good news here . They are not happy with the levels and want to go ahead with the Met anyway. i have managed to put them off until Thursday so everything crossed it comes down more on its own.

I have read up on this drug and OMG in fact OMFG. I really would rather not go down this road.

My patience and PMA have gone now. i am upset and P'd off and feel sick at the thought of this.

Sorry hunni what a ballache!!!! Lots of to sunny Scotland xxx

yeah I think I rather do that now than wait again and again. Of course Hubby's sperm now looks decent but again...better be with the experts...not getting any younger here! LOL can't be 22 forever...or can I? lol

 

[Jodes2011]

[Butterfly67]

wendy I hope this sorts itself out by Thursday.

LL - sounds good with the appointment and I'd take the progesterone prescription as well just in case!

 

[Macwooly]

LL good luck with your appointment tomorrow

Wendy I hope your body sorts itself soon

 

[dachsundmom]

Got the soy, refilled the Clomid and Tamoxifen. Just need to decide which to do, lol. Bought more HPTs and all CVS had was damn blue dye, lol. Probably will just let Porky piss on them, lol.

Wendy, I hope that AF comes on it's own. I will pray for you!

LL, glad you got the confirmation you needed. I would highly recommend the progesterone. Liek I said, I had 3 mcs before my last son and the only thing I did different with his pregnancy was prog. and a baby asprin a day. Who knows what worked but I know prog. can't hurt. I take mine from 7 DPO - 14 DPO unless I am pregnant and then I continue till 14 weeks.

As for me my blood test went fine, I was a big, brave girl lol. They took 3 vials so not so bad. They are testing for Antiphospholipid (APA), Embryotoxicity Factor, and Reproductive Immunophenotype. The tests should be back within 2 weeks which will be a nail biter! I am $766 poorer but hopeful this will lead to some answers. = )

 

[LLbean]

hope you get good results Mon_n_john!

Lets see what the specialist tells me tomorrow BUT the baby aspirin for me was a complete disaster... My AF was like a mass murder scene! Honestly panicked and even hubby was concerned asking if it was a MC... really ugly LOL
