PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[Squig34]

LynAnne, just to wish you lots of luck. I really hope this little one sticks for you but if the worst happens, I would really advise you to make testing a priority - there are various things that could help depending on whether an issue is identified but I don't think your doctor is likely to give you something heavy duty on the off - chance. Some women take a baby aspirin & that has helped - maybe you could discuss with your doctor?
I have had all the blood tests & everything came back clear but when I lost my son last year, because it was later on, they were able to examine my placenta & it looked like a blood clotting problem so that's what I'm being treated for & this pregnancy seems to be going ok so far. Between my 5th pregnancy & my son, I had an endometrial scratch which helps to promote implantation & which I would recommend (but again I hope you don't need!)

Congratulations on Madrid!

Glad all was well with your twins, IVV

Hey ladies. Sorry I've not updated before now.
I had my little boy on 2nd March, we have named him Jude-Joseph.
I can't believe he will be 3 weeks already on Weds, the time is passing way to quickly.
Morgan is being a really great big bro and we are all totally in love with him.m

Hi All

I frequented this thread when I was pregnant with my Rainbow DD after 2 - 6.5 week miscarriages and 1 chemical in the course of a year. That was almost 2 years ago! Crazy! She is a feisty lively 19 month old now.

SO- to my point... I just got a BFP at 10dpo - I only tested this early bc I am still nursing (AF returned 4 months ago) and have only been having a 9 day luteal phase. So since I have been charting/keeping track I wanted to see if my luteal phase was lengthening or if I hadn't gotten AF yet bc of pregnancy. I must admit I was thinking it was going to take a while bc of nursing but this cycle was the first pretty regular textbook cycle since AF returned (or really ever that I can remember since I started tracking them!).

Sorry I am rambling haha

Okay these are my questions:

What have you ladies done when you found out you were pregnant with #2 following your first successful pregnancy after RPL? I was on baby aspirin and 400mg/day progesterone and Folgard due to MTHFR (However I have been taking methylfolate daily for the last 4 months which I think is better than Folgard for MTHFR) with my rainbow under a fertility specialist's care. I haven't been to his office in over 2 years now.

Should I start with my regular OB and ask for a test of my progesterone? or ask to put me on the high dose right away again?

Has anyone gone down the hollistic route and been successful after RPL? Thoughts on progesterone cream?

Has anyone continued to nurse through a pregnancy with a history of RPL? I am really not willing to wean. But thoughts if we are techincally considered "high risk"?

I am so shocked! and scared! and really have no idea where this could go bc it's so early and my history. A lot has changed in my life in last 2 years since trying for baby #1 though such as diet (dairy free, try to stick with organic/whole foods), lifestyle (I am now a SAHM) and am much more hollistically minded (I blame motherhood), I've been off birth control for 3+ years now, and the stress and pressure is much less than it was before so I am trying to be hopeful.

Any input would be appreciated from you ladies and I know some of my crew is still around!1

Congratulations, newlywedtzh! Could you ask your doctor about continuing to nurse through your pregnancy? Then at least you'll know either way and you won't need to worry if they say it's ok x

 

[newlywedtzh]

yes but just from talking to friends and doing my own research (I'm a trained breastfeeding counselor) many tell you to wean when it is unnecessary. However on most credible breastfeeding resources the clause does say unless considered high risk.

 

[blueblue]

Hopefully they will say it's not high risk x
