Hello beautiful ladies
I am 29 Dh is 37 and we have been TTC bubba #3 for 12 months now. we have 2 daughters Alkira 8 (was a twin we lost the other baby at 12 weeks) and Lisa 2.
here is my story for the last 12 months.
I came off implananon last year and got my period the next day. I did not ovulate that month but i did the month after. we NTNP until Christmas then we decided to try just by watching my body. on Jan 26 we found out we were pregnant and due oct 5th. i mc a few days latter which took my mc into the double figers. we waited a month then we got pregnant again this time with triplets. i was showing at 5 weeks. when i hit 6 weeks something felt wrong and i knew i was going to mc at 6 weeks and 4 days(april) i mc and passed the babies. it hurt but i stayed strong because i knew i would be ok and that it would happen for me. once again the dr said to wait a month then try again. we were pregnant again once again it ended in mc at 6 weeks and 4 days. The hospital decided to test me again to see if anything had changed since having DD#2
The testing
they tested my prolactin levels, thyroid, for lupus and other things, homcysteine and about 20 other things i cant remember. turns out i have a single defult of the gene MTHFR and hubby has a double default so i have a high risk of mc. but this is not the problem. for some unknown reason my HOMOCYSTEINE levels are very high almost at the acute stage. the profesor who is the head of the department at the hospital i am at is not sure what is going on so he is going to have a discussion with others in the hospital and other hospitals.
from my understanding with homocysteine levels being so high my b vitamins folate and some other things should be low but they are not, i am suppose to have chronic diarrhea but i dont i am suppose to be super tired but i am not!
so in short the professor who has been a specialist for 20 years has no idea!
we are not sure where that leaves us right now so we are in limbo.
I feel crap mentally right now i am not sure how to deal with it, family are not very supportive. we are getting the usual you should be happy with two kids etc etc.
My husband and i always felt we should/ were ment to have 4. but they all think we are stupid/silly and that its not a necessary risk. I just wish they could understand that i love my DH and before we met each other we both had the same feeling of a big ish family.
thats enough from me. i look forward to getting to know you all and learning (if) anyone else has the same thing on how they dealt with it.

. I had my first m/c in Feb 06 @ 6 weeks - then no pregnancies for the longest time - spent 3 years in Limbo
. I finally got diagnosed with a hyperprolactinoma (not visible on the MRI but picked up in hormone tests) in December last year and after treating it fell pregnant in the January only to m/c at 5 weeks. I had faint positives in April and May but got my period just a few days later. I fell pregnant again in July, only to miscarry 1 week ago at 9 weeks - mm/c @ 6 weeks and had to have the dreaded D&C
. 
. Although so far the tests on this last fetus have come back normal though the more specific indepth tests wont be back for a few weeks. 
Welcome. Sorry to hear that the Drs. are still trying to figure things out. I hope you get some answers soon.
