I stopped birth control over a year ago because we knew there was a high chance of problems. So far, we have had 3 miscarriages & an ectopic pregnancy. I guess the only positive thing to come out of all of this is that now I fall into the "Habitual Pregnancy Loss" category under our insurance so they are covering all of our REI visits & procedures. We have gone through a lot & even though I am emotionally exhausted, I know it will all be forgotten when we get to hold our baby for the first time. I know that everyone here is in the same boat as we are, it is nice to feel supported & understood.</div> <p><a href="/profile/megan-carter" title="Megan Carter"><img alt="Reception_-_megan___andy" src="/profile/image/6251/thumb/Reception_-_megan___Andy.bmp?1224313341" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/megan-carter">Megan Carter</a> </p> Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:16:38 -0500 multiple miscarriage scarring ashermans syndrome lupus http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/wanting-our-baby http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/wanting-our-baby <div>I had a stillbirth at 35.5 weeks due to a meconium infection on 2/10/07. It took me 6 months to conceive again in January 08 and I miscarried that baby on 4/17/08.<br/><br/>My RE found the issue of the m/c which is abnormal levels of lupus anticoagulant.<br/><br/>He told me I need baby aspirin to conceive and sustain a pregnancy as well as progesterone after conception throughout a pregnancy as well as Lovenox throughout a pregnancy.<br/><br/>I'm going to an RE who gave me Clomid 50mg to speed things up. <br/><br/>After the m/c I had a 33 day cycle which is unheard for me as my cycles are slightly irregular and shorter than most. This is my second cycle after the m/c and I did Clomid 50mg CD 3-7 and then Progesterone starting at 1dpo on CD17. Today is CD32 and no AF. I've had cramping, sour stomach, some nausea and fatigue. I am afraid to test. <br/><br/>Is there a possibility of not being pregnant but no AF due to the Progesterone supplements? What do you do in this case?<br/><br/>I'm used to only bad things happening. <br/><br/>Looking forward to your reply.<br/><br/>Thanks!</div> <p><a href="/profile/sabrina" title="Sabrina"><img alt="Woman_6" src="/images/avatar/thumb/woman_6.gif?1227245198" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/sabrina">Sabrina</a> </p> Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:39:55 -0500 ttc clomid progesterone levels lupus anticoagulant http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/ttc-with-clomid-and-progesterone http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/ttc-with-clomid-and-progesterone
