xp: from ttcal: update on doc appt this morning

Mrs.Brink

1st...From me (and especially Dh). Thank you all so very much for your T&P yesterday and over the last few weeks. I can't even put into words how much these boards have helped, but you all already know.

We should have been having our 1st u/s but turns out it wasn't really that necessary. My betas as of yesterday are 63 and I'm 100% sure that I passed almost everything last night (I'll spare you the details unless you want to pm me). I go back in 2wks with another beta the day before to make sure everything is ok and then we wait until I've had 2 full cycles and we'll start clomid again and then Prometrium the day I get a + hpt. This will put us ttc again around the new year. I'm doing suprisingly well but mostly because my nerves are shot. We just can't believe we're back at the beginning all over again.

 But I did finally talk to my mom last night about our 1st m/c and then this one. It's a relief to finally have it off my chest. I think the nurse kicked in instead of the shrink in her (thankfully). We're still not sure whether or not to tell his mom...she's a bit highstrung and freaks out easily.

Our ob was glad I called everytime the spotting changed and got bw everytime so we can better document what's going on. We didn't catch the progesterone in time but now we know why this is happen. And turns out I'm O+, never knew that...I thought I was O-(neat). He did give us the option of either staying with him or going to an RE. I'm going to research the RE near us but I trust our OB completely and plan on staying with him. We know the problem and how to fix it.

Sorry this is so long. But thanks again for the support.

I'm so sorry that you had to go through this, best of luck when you are ready to try again.

FWIW we went through the OB versus RE debate right before I got this BFP (after 3 losses, we were confident we'd need more medical help). I had my OB run the bloodwork for cd 3 and 7dpo the cycle I got my BFP. The OB then put me on 300 mg prometrium a day until 14 weeks, Lovenox after 8 weeks and baby aspirin the whole time. So far so good, so it can have a happy ending! Definitely make sure they run your clotting factor bloodwork to make sure that's not the reason for the losses, I know that can cause many early losses.

I'm sorry you didnt catch it in time.. I hope the clomid works great for you and you are back here in January with your forever baby.

I'm so, so sorry you are going through this again. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH. You sound like your hanging in there remarkably well. You are a strong woman.

Again, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I totally know that feeling of not believing you have to start all over again. Glad to hear your dr. is being proactive w/ a game plan, and I would research the RE route if you're interested- I know they can be really supportive as well. Very best wishes going forward and I hope you're back here very soon.

Mrs. Brink- I'm sorry you are going through this.  I missed your post yesterday and I am so terribly sorry. But you are handling it with amazing strength.  And I agree with you about the bleeding (TTCAL post) completely. I pray that you will heal quickly and be back here in no time, esp since you know what the problem is.  Good luck ((hugs))

Again, I'm just so sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear that you have a very supportive doctor and that your mom was supportive in your conversation with her, too. (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry you have to go through this again. I would highly recommend seeing an RE... not that your OB is not fabulous, just that REs have more specialized training in PL (Even if it were just to get another opinion and perhaps additional gtesting.)  With the progesterone, I was told to start ~2 days after O. It helps build up the corpus luteum and hopefully something will implant! Best of luck to you Mrs. Brink :-)

I am so sorry you are having to go through this again.  I'm glad your OB has a plan and that he is taking such good care of you.  ((BIG HUGS))

I'm so sorry about all of this.  I'm really glad you got to talk to your mom about it though, I know it personally helped to have those close to me understand I was going through some issues.  I wish you all the very best in TTC again.

I hope everything works out for you at the new year. Keep us posted. ((hugs))

I'm truly sorry that you are going through all of this again.  Best wishes as you approach the newyear.  You will be in my thoughts as you go through this.

I know this is so hard, but I really think you are coming at this with the best attitude. I have not seen an RE yet, because, like you, I felt like I had a reason for my losses. Well, I ended up regretting that when my doctor was not as on board as he made me believe before I got pregnant. I'm really glad you told your mom though; we never told anyone about our second pregnancy and it weighed on me until I told.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, hun.  I hope you're back here very soon.  You're in my thoughts and prayers.  ((HUGS))

Anastasia, I am so, so sorry for your loss.  You and Brink have had such a long road, and I was so excited for your BFP.  I'll say a prayer for you.  I hope you get your sticky baby very soon.  Hugs.
