Croy- first off, a pickled onion? I haven't puked once and now am reconsidering, lol. Yu have NOT hurt your baby at all! I tried gluten free for a couple of days as I had read those articles too and I stopped because I couldn't stand the food.
you are fine!!! I was so worried a few weeks ago when I ate luncheon meat on a sandwich.
I would have to guess that the gluten free thing would potentially help with implantation issues, not have an effect later on .
Of course, I understand the worry though as I worry all the time about stuff and don't really have to worry about because we will be fine.
Bumpy- before I found you all on these threads, I was on a few other sites, the first being babycenter. They have an undiagnosed rpl thread and last sept, I asked that very same question, what did you do differently to get bfp to stick? And nobody had any answers but not many people even post to the entire undiag rpl thread in general. A couple of girls wanted answers too. So not too long ago I answered my own question, I can't believe I was able to answer it just 2.5 months after I posted it as a girl named Katie asked about it as she is newly Preg after several losses too.
I post there as much as I can (to rpl chicks in babycenter ) as many of the drs in the states don't seem to do empiricle treatments and I just think you have to try everything you can after so many unexplained losses. Every once in a while a girl with rpl will chime in and say, none of those treatments have been thoroughly tested but really , who the fuck is going to test rpl girls on empiricle treatment enough times for concrete conclusions when there are so many variables. Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands. I was so depressed I would have taken ANYTHING to finally have a child. Even if the thought of giving myself stinging shots and steroids freaked me out.
Here's my reply:
so far so good here so I can actually answer my own question, I'm about 10 wks preg with twins. First time I've ever had heartbeats and good ultrasounds, here's what I did:
Stim meds follistim, repronex, ganirelix, stimmed for 15 days, iui cd17, out of 3-5 possible follies that were 10 - 15 mm 3 days before iui, I had 6 mature and release. My clinic counts 15 mm as mature with these stim meds.
I have mthr hetero a1298c which is the very common one that is least harmful and alot of folic acid and baby asp are the protocol for it (as its inefficiency of processing folic acid) so I take both Neevo dha and metanx as with both it's about 4 mg lmethyfolate (easy form of folic acid to absorb) . I also take 2000 iu vit d3, baby asp, vit b supercomplex, another dha pill, 20 mg prednisone and 40 mg lovenox daily. Also 50 mg progesterone suppository. I don't have a clotting disorder. Will be going off lovenox around 13 wks, weaning of prednisone through 18 wks and off prog around 14 weeks. I will be on baby asp throughout.
This is the first time I had ever gotten to the heartbeat stage and they are doing great! The clinic I go to has had a lot of success with this treatment for unexplained recurrent early losses.
I started progesterone at 48 hours piui, lovenox and prednisone at bfp (11 dpiui) and was on the rest of the vitamins, etc for months.
Keep in mind i get preg pretty easily without meds and iuis, we were just going for the best possible chance and eggs although they didn't think I had an egg quality issue.
And I did acupuncture for a month before the iui, they specialize in rpl/ if and went twice/ wk until bfp now I go once per week
EDIT: I also went to the chiropractor twice the week and a half before iui to make sure I was all alligned.
