TTC after miscarriage before AF

[laughingduck]

Yah I THINK my doc will be pretty good about checking some stuff. Even after one she tested my homocysteine, folic acid, b12 and progesterone (I had a 23 and me test done a few years back and am heterozygous for c677t, a common miscarriage gene). She also knows the struggles Ive had with autoimmune disease, and knows I had to wait so long for my ulcerative colitis (an autoimmune disease that attack the gut) to get into remission to try for #2, and now two losses... Anyway I hope she tests for a few things at least! Also I am 34, one year until I turn the magical 35 where my uterus decides to stop working and I automatically become a "high risk" pregnancy and costs our government a bunch of money, so hopefully they will be motivated to fix me before then... (Im practicing my arguments for her lol).

Also my mom has thyroid disease, so that runs in the family...

If there is no treatment for the balanced translocation, do you have to keep trying until you get lucky with a good sperm, or do you have other plans? Im sorry that there is no treatment, I imagine you are going through a whole range of emotions.

We are meeting with a genetic counselor on Friday to discuss odds for his specific chromosomes. But yes, it is keep trying and losing until we get the lucky chromosome combo, or IVF with PGD completely out of our pockets, and hope that even then we will get a chromosomally normal embryo to transfer. It is going to have to be option A at least for a little while.

I see it xanzaba congratulations to you and tag hopefully I will be joining you in a few weeks!

laughingduck I am so sorry you find yourself here. I hope that this is the cycle that you get your rainbow

TinyLynne- I am glad to here that your appointment is coming up soon, I am glad you guys didn't have a long wait before getting in with the genetic counselor. I hope the appointment can help give you guys answers and I pray that as you keep trying you get your rainbow.

Thanks Mssk. Hoping it sticks and we end up on a more positive thread together soon!

I started worrying that that the BFP was due to HCG from the miscarriage. I read something that pregnancy can give you a positive OPK, so when I came home today I tried and the OPK was the darkest it was since I started testing (I missed O). Oh well, I'll test again tomorrow morning, hopefully it will be darker and darker.

Thanks guys...I hope we can turn this thread into all BFPS...we all deserve it.

Xan, I think you're def preggo!

Hello everyone I recently Had a missed Miscarriage, i found out at 8wks5days and had a D&C done at 9wks3days 8/18 due to having pain on my whole left side i didnt want to take a chance waiting any longer. This has been devestating to me being it was my first pregnancy. I found out that the babys heart stopped beating at 7wks3days. My Dr. told me to wait one full cycle and then i will do another iui. I was lucky to get pregnant really quickly with this pregnancy im just anxious to get the ball rolling again. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy soon after misscarriage or D&C i need all the hope i can get. im trying to stay positive, and I would like to say im sorry for all who has ever had to deal with this it is not easy.

Hi ILove- welcome, and hope you find your rainbow soon. It took us 4 months last time, and now I'm in limbo with dubious BFPs.

In that regard, 5 days since 1st line, and hpt is slow to darken. Still there though. Any thought, suggestions, advice?

 

[TinyLynne]

Have you been getting betas done? Only way to really tell if it is viable at this point is to see if they double. I'd ask your Dr to do them.

 

[xanzaba]

I have a new doctor that doesn't see people until 8 weeks, but I'm going to call on Monday to see if they can do a Beta. I think if it was just falling HCG from the miscarriage it would be gone by now. Maybe it's falling HCG from the miscarriage and rising HCG from a sticky little bean? Ugh, I'm going to go crazy here!

 

[TinyLynne]

Who knows. I hope you find answers soon.

 

[tag74]

Hi Xan, I'm in the same boat. My HCG is slow to rise. Last Wednesday they told me to expect to miscarry and then Friday's numbers double and now they said it's a wait and see game. Hang in there...thinking of you.

 

[xanzaba]

Tag. Did you test early? Your BFPs looked great to me. Hoping the best for us both.

 

[tag74]

I tested very early. Faint BFP at 8dpo.i am really praying for us both? July's MC did a number on me so my one bad beta is freaking me out. How are you feeling?

 

[xanzaba]

Tag- my lines were so light that I convinced myself I wasn't pregnant. Then, if I got lucky, I'd be happy. But yeah, there were nights, waking up at 2 to go to the bathroom, POAS, and getting a faint line that I just stalked the internet.

Today I tested with a digital (Clear Blue Easy) and it said not pregnant, so I guess I have my answer. Onto the next cycle. I know it will happen sometime soon

 

[TinyLynne]

Sorry Xan, I hope the next cycle works out better for you.

 

[mssk]

I am sorry xanzaba, I how it works out next cycle.

Tag- that HCG sounds like it is going up steadily now I hope it keeps doubling at a good rate for you.

Tiny- How was Fridays appointment? Did you feel better after seeing the genetic counselor?

 

[mssk]

I have been making sure I track everything this month since my brain seems too overwhelmed to remember symptom details. Cycle day 23 and I have some convincing early pregnancy symptoms but a big part of me in convinced I am feeling them because I want to feel them. O was hard to track this cycle-my cycle seemed all over the place I had watery CM cycle day 10 only 3 days after AF was over. But with bding almost every other day it made CM hard to track. I had watery CM then EWCM then watery again. O calendar predicted my fertility window at 14-19 based on previous cycles. I guess whether it was the 10th or the 17th as calendar O day the wait is on. We ended up bding the 10,13,15,17 and 19 so bases covered...but I am surprised to be symptomatic this early?! Maybe it is just AF coming. I hate waiting.

 

[TinyLynne]

It was better than I expected I guess. I guess our chance of miscarriage per pregnancy is 40% and the chance of a live birth of a child with abnormalities is 1.5%, sounds like our imbalanced embryos are most likely to miscarry, which is good. But I feel like 40% might be pretty optimistic. But... I guess we keep going for now

Good luck to you!

Feeling O pains, I'm day 30+ of course, I bought opks, I should try one out.

 

[xanzaba]

Go, go Tiny! That sounds tough, but do-able. Your rainbow will be there!
