Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:45:21 -0600

I am 4 weeks pregnant from LMP(Oct. 24th) and I had my hormone levels tested, friday they were 868. Is this a good level for me? I went today to get my 2nd tested and won't know the other until tomarrow. So is this a good level to be at?

m/c ?

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 12:53:25 -0600

Dr.Q I have had 3 m/c's the past three months. They all happened between 4 and 5 weeks pregnant. Are these considered m/c's or chems?

Also, can this be due to my body just needing a break? Like getting pregnant 3 cycles in a row was just too much to ask of my body?

ovaries

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:55:45 -0600

Dr.,

My right ovary is higher than the left. I have had 3 recurrent miscarriages. Do you think that my miscarriages could be related to the high ovary? (I have no tube on the left so I am only getting pregnant on the right) Do you think that the traveling time of the embryo is to long and not implanting?

I'm leaving FT for a little while...

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:38 -0600

Thank you everyone...I'm still really upset, & sore...if I'm not online much please understand...I'm having a hard time going on FT acting like very thing is ok. I'm happy for everyone who's gotten a bfp, TTCing, & sad for all who have had m/c...,but I just can't bring myself to go on FT too much anymore. Taking a 6 month ttc break is hard when I'm exposed to it on FT so much...so I'm not going to be on FT too much until I start to feel better....somewhat about what happened recently. I just don't know if I can be a good friend if I'm so depressed about my loss... so please understand I'll come back soon...I just need some time to myself some...my anniversary is on the 17th...& I don't even think I can enjoy it...I just feel horrible. Hope you all understand...I'll be back soon, I just need a break! Also on a brighter note my dh gave me an early anniversary gift that is my baby for now...lol until we have our own baby together....presenting...Zoey...the ferret: !

Everyone I swear November seems to be an awful month for me... 2 m/c's(11/9/02,11/8/07[had d&c 11/14/07], & 1 ectopic(11/6/08) have happened all in the month of November alone...not to mention my other losses. To make matters worse a few days before my wedding I m/c'd & now like a week before my anniversary(11/17) I have an ectopic! I just can't take it anymore...& a break from FT will help keep my mind off TTC for a little while. Anyone who wants to reach me off FT can e-mail me on FT for my e-mail address.

TTC #1 after 3 miscarriages

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:49:36 -0600

My name is Crystal (CJ)and I am 25. DH (26) and I have been TTC #1 since September 2006. We experienced 3 early losses before I was diagnosed with MTHFR (heterozygous), sightly elevated homocysteine levels, and decreased Protein C activity. My pre-conception treatment consists of 4 mg folic acid, 81 mg aspirin, and a vitamin B-complex. Once a viable pregnancy is confirmed I will add daily heparin injections to this regimen.

What can an RE do about recurrent Miscarriages?

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:18:03 -0600

I have my frist RE appt on Monday to discuss our multiple miscarriages. I know that an RE can do thinks like get people to ovulate using meds, etc. But what can an RE do about miscarriages?? Anything?? Is there a medication that they can prescribe to help with miscarriages? I guess I am just not too hopeful that a Dr. can do anything for miscarriages. What does an RE do when dealing with multiple miscarriages? It is harder to fix the problem of miscarriages than it is to fix someone who isn't getting pregnant?

Femara

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 03:03:31 -0500

Does anyone know much about Femara? I have been on Clomid in the past, but failed to conceive. I just was wondering if anyone had any experience with it & wanted to know what to expect. I had surgery to reduce scar tissue & remove a septum in August. I have had 3 miscarriages & an ectopic with no successful pregnancies, so we are getting anxious to have our baby. I have a lot of complicating factors unfortunately, but we are trying to keep our hopes up & not get to discouraged. Any advice would be great!

Here we go again!! Day 1 of Cycle 4, 3rd IUI

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:57:38 -0500

Well AF came last night so on to round 3 for the IUI's and Clomid.

My RE says this is the last cycle for that before we have a counseling session to discuss other options.

Oh please let round 3 be the charm !!!

I requested my RE increase the dose from 100mg to 150 to see if that will help any. I am an early O'er so I am always seen on day 9 and trigger. Last IUI was on day 10 and the 1st IUI was done on Day 11 so I asked them to reevaluate that too since this is the last Clomid IUI cycle they will allow me to do.

After 3 years and 5 miscarriages something has to work soon doesnt it?? I am starting to panic. My 37th birthday is on November 29th so all I hear is the constant ticking, Its making me crazy.

DH was devastated this time when we got the BFN. He was so sweet yesterday and suggested maybe we take a break and give my body a rest but I told him with my age I dont have that luxury. He is only 32....and a guy so he doesnt understand the time thing although he is quickly becoming an expert on this whole fertility thing.......

My Journey includes, MMC's, Successful PG, MTHFR and Luteal Phase Defect

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:25:59 -0500

DH and I were married in March 03 and I went off BC one month later.

We were'nt "trying" but just letting things happen. In Nov 03 I

started spotting about the time my period was supposed to start but

it was weird so I called the Dr. and he did a beta, it was not good,

so he did another and it went down, so m/c #1. We were told, as I am

sure all of you were, its just one of those things, next time will be

different. Well, we got pregnant again in Feb 04 and the day after

my initial beta blood draw at about 5 weeks, I started to m/c. So,

when I went in to see my Dr. after that m/c (#2), he had this "deer

in the headlights" look because I was only 24, and I had 2 m/c back

to back... so he basically said, you need to go to a specialist,

which I went to an AWESOME perinatalogist( Dr. Tracy Papa -Fort Worth,

TX) and she ran all the panels she could run on me at the time (now 4

years ago) and all that came back was progesterone deficency at 3 DPO

was a "1". Whoah. So my next pregnancy, she started my on Crinone at

the first + test. Conceived in July 04, I had my DD March 2005 at 38

weeks, no problemo, except for 20 weeks of puking! So, last summer,

we wanted to start trying again... we weren't on BC or anything, just

watching my cycle carefully. We got preggers the 1st month trying

and started progesterone and saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks and went back

in at 11 weeks for a followup U/S and the baby had died about 1 week

before. I had D&C but it was too late for Chromosonal panels. Got

the go ahead to try again in January, got preggers again in Feb 08,

started prgesterone right away, went in for U/S at 8 weeks and saw

about a 5-6 week embryo and no heartbeat, m/c naturally the next

week. Since it had been 4 years since my panel, my Peri told me lots

of things have been discovered to cause m/c that they can test for.

So she took like half of my blood, and ran the panels and i came up

positive for the MTHFR mutation. I don't know exactly which one, she

just said I got a copy from each of my parents... can you ladies tell

me what that is called? Anyway, the protocol for the MTHFR they

gave me is Folgard x 2 a day, 1 BA, and lovenox injections upon

pregnancy acheival.

Phase II: I have still be a little freaked because I read about how

my progesterone deficency is only a symptom of a greater problem,

poor follicle development and that a luteal phase defect can be

corrected with clomid. My LP is only 9-11 days long generally.

Well, my OB sent me to an RE to be treated with the clomid and I

started my cycle while waiting for my appt. 1 day late. I didn't to

a hpt, like I normally do to be safe, because I thought I wouldn't be

pregnant, and my cycle was weird, it lasted 14 days and it usually

only lasts 4-6 days, so I spoke with the RE and she did a beta and I

was pregnant and m/c again. So, that was even further confirmation

the LP defect and the need to start the clomid treatment along with

progesterone after O.

Anyone had a similar story? Sorry so long. Has anyone taken clomid

for luteal phase defect?

Another miscarriage

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:27:26 -0500

I am going through my second miscarriage in 2 months. I can't stand feeling like this. I honestly feel like I will never be happy again. Dh and I were so excited that we got pregnant so quickly but now I wish we hadn't. Its too painful. We haven't miscarried yet, but my numbers are doubling ever 7 days. Not good enough by a mile. The dr. says he won't do anything until I start bleeding. He says I should need a D&C and to just let it pass naturally. I let my last one pass naturally and it killed me. I felt like the clots were my baby and I was flushing my baby down the toilet. I absolutely hate this!! This is not how its supposed to be.

Has anyone every had multiple miscarriage and THEN had a healthy baby? I feel like we will never have a healthy baby.

How do you get over multiple miscarriages?? All I do is cry. I don't know what else to do.

Please help.

Question about multiple miscarriages

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:27:29 -0500

Dr. I had another early m/c. It was our 2nd in just 2 months. Obviously we are absolutely devestated.

I go back to the Dr. on Oct 10th. They said they are going to start doing tests to try to figure out why this keeps happening. They said they will start with a blood test for both myself and DH.

Can you tell me what kinds of tests we could expect or request??? I would appreciate it very much.

miscarragies

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 18:22:24 -0500

I have had two miscarriages in the past three months. When I had the last one the doctor said that the egg did not attach to the uterus. What can I do to get pregnant? Or is it possible that I may not be able to have a baby?

Little confused

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:10:10 -0500

My question is. This is my first round of clomid. I started on August 30th until September 3rd. My doctor never dicussed what could happen, when it could happen and so forth. So through much investigation I came across a clomid ovulation caculator. And it said I should O on the 11th of September. So my husband and myself went at it like rabbits almost daily..lol In my doctors words "have fun and have lots, and lots and lots of sex". So we did just that. Now I am not sure when I O'ed because I never done the temp thing, just went by mucus and how I felt. I am hoping this is my month after trying for so long and having miscarriages. So what I am asking is basically. Could I have O'ed on the 11th or am I confused about things. BTW, i love the site and all the wonderful ladies that are on here. Been reading post after post and everyone is so sweet. Any advice is welcomed. Loads of baby dust to all
