Trying after 3 COnsecutive Losses....PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

[KotasMomma]

good luck to you guys. I'm so sorry for your losses. It's hard. I lost my son at 28 weeks because my OB didn't even think to look at my antibody results. So my body fought my son off. I recently went through a mc in July and am still trying to return to normal from that. It sounds to me that ba wouldn't hurt you. I have many friends who wouldn't have their babies if it wasn't for the ba. Lots of luck and my fingers are x'd for yous!

So sorry for your losses. Yea I'm going to wait until after o to start ba. They say it can delay ovulation. It's worth a try. Keeping my fingers crossed for you too!!

Hi Courtney

It seems we are the same!!! Well nearly anyway. My 1st ever pregnancy i lost at 7 weeks, then went on to have 2 healthy boys and my new husband and I have been trying since Jan, I have had 3 miscarriages so far, 4w, and 2 at 5 weeks. We have finally been referred for fertility specialist on 15th Aug and are praying he may be able to help but I am finding things extremely frustrating right now.
I am sure the fact I am now 37 doesn't help.
Are you in the UK? I have heard in the UK we won't be given Progesterone?? I am also considering Baby Aspirin but am going to speak to the specialist about it when I see him. I am DESPERATE to hear some sucess stories. I am not a patient person at the best of times but this is killing me and I am constantly questionning how long I can keep this up.
I pray you get 4th time lucky xxx

So sorry for your losses. It's so tough. When you get a positive test you get your hopes up to have it crushed. I've gotten to the point that I wait for the bleeding bc I'm so used to that being the outcome. No I'm in the US. I was prescribed progesterone for my loss in July. All it did was prolong my miscarriage by a few days. They were monitoring my HCG levels and they kept dropping. The good thing for both of us is that we can conceive!! It's just a matter of these little ones sticking! I'm going to doctor tmrw hopefully I will get some answers. I'm going to demand bloodwork and I want them to check my uterine lining as well. I'm so glad you found me!! It's nice to know that I'm not in this alone. Let me know how ur appointment goes!!! I'll let u know what my Dr says tmrw!

There are so many things that can cause multiple chemical pregnancies. I had one in may and July. They did blood work and determined I have MTHFR which is a blood clotting disorder. Strange because I was able to get pregnant once before with no problems. All I have to do is take a baby aspirin every morning and then when I do get pregnant I have to do Heprin injections daily. I lost my 2 pregnancies at 4 wks 3 days and 5 wks 4 days.

I will definately be asking my fertility specialist about this when I see him! I hope they can test me for it and it's something like this that can be solved for me too!!

I'm not from Ireland but my grandpa was. He was from Dublin. I'm dying to go there!
That's the one thing my mom said about Ireland....that it rained almost everyday. That's why its so green! Lol I hope I can go sooner then later!

Are you trying right now or still on a break? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

u should visit, it is nice but it does rain an awfull lot
early sep is usually nice but no guarantee
still on a break unfortunately, my liver is being funny so docs wanna check it out properly first, waiting was killin me but im accepting it now, its better to be healthy and keep my baby then try now and lose it. so hopefully the wait will pay off thanks babe, best o luck to u too x

 

[chistiana]

I m not sure where you might find it cause nobody actually sold it here in greece but i bought it from amazon or ebay, cant remember. It tastes vile but i think it did help. When doing my research i found a lot of the articles claiming that it also helps prevent mc so i used it for the first two months of my pg but then i found some conflicting evidence too so i stopped it. Placebo or not i got my bfp and a happy ending so i would research into it just for the sake of it if i were you. Sending lots of baby dust.

When did you start taking ba? I heard it can delay o and to wait til after. I'm going to inquire about it tmrw. I'm kinda hoping that I have a clotting issue bc its an easy fix and will be an answer to my losses. It's crazy that you can have successful pregnancies then pop up with issues later on. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

I started taking it as soon as I found out. It didn't delay ovulation for me at all. It was the progesterone that they prescribed me to take daily during my last cycle that caused me not to ovulate at all. So I stopped that and this past month O'd right on time then started the progesterone 3-4 days after ovulation. I also had the HSG test last month. I am due for AF tomorrow and I am thinking she is going to show on time. I am having some low back pain and just feel that I am out. 11 DPO yesterday and negative HPT. I usually have a positive at that time or I know I am out.

Yea progesterone caused a delay with my miscarriage, I'm hoping it doesn't cause a delay in ovulation. I've been off of it for two weeks so I should be fine. I'm going to inquire about the baby asprin today and will start taking it after I o this cycle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, hoping you get ur bfp soon. I'm at the doctor now and the nurse looked at Mr like I was dumb when I said chemical pregnancy...she's like well how did you know? I'm hoping this isn't an indication of the attitude the doctor will have. My goodness do they think women are dumb??? I know how to read lines in 7 pregnancy tests!!!! Ugh.

 

[Courtney917]

Sooo I went to the doctor today. She was very nice and is being proactive in trying to find out a reason for all of these losses. She's sent me for a blood draw to check my Prolactin Hormone levels, Thyroid including F4, and tested to see if I have Factor V leiden. At first she wasn't going to test for any clotting issues bc she said she sees them in losses at 6+weeks but when I told her I have a bad reaction to birth control pills she decided to test me for Factor V Leiden. She said she will go into my indepth testing for clotting issues if nothing else shows up. She is also having me go back on CD 21 to get my progesterone tested AND I am going to have an HSG after this cycle (she is afraid to send me during my 2ww just in case I get pregnant again this cycle.

Ohhh and she also advised me to take 1 baby asprirn after ovulation. She is suspecting a Luteneal phase defect bc I ovulate late in my cycle and have light periods (she said elevated prolactin levels can cause problems with progesterone and short lutneal phase. Sooooo that's where I am at as of now. I am hoping to get some answers from all of this!!!

She also said a friend of hers had 11 miscarriages (she was 42 at the time) and they did a series of tests and nothing came up. So my doctor told her to take BA as a precaution and it turned out it worked and she had a successful pregnancy and carried to term!.

I m hopeful that the BA will help. I have been doing research on clotting disorders and how they can be related to migraines with aura (something that I do suffer from at least once a year). So I am really wondering if I do indeed have some sort of clotting issue. She said sometimes women have successful pregnancies despite the clotting issue (which would explain my two healthy boys).

I will keep you all posted on the results of the testing!!!!! Keep me in your thoughts....I HOPE I get a BFP this cycle!!!!!

Are any of you using opk? I used my first one last cycle and didn't get a positive til cd 14...so I'm figuring I ovulate between day 14-16. My doc thought that ovulating on day 16 is late....what do you guys think? I was under the assumption that a luteal phase of 12 days is normal. Also...is there a specific time of day to use them? I'm thinking bc ovulation was between days 14-16 (leaning more towards 16 as my nvr increased on day 17. So I'm thinking of using the opk on day 12...will this be too late? Should I start it earlier?
