I didn't check-in last night because I was in 'BFP limbo'. My +HPT was confirmed at 16.9 on Monday then it's just gone down since. The miscarriage bleeding didn't actually start until yesterday. For now, since it was down to 8.1 Friday, they're Dx it as another early miscarriage. I go back at the end of the week for another blood draw to make sure my hCG does go down to 0, since my last loss was ectopic.
I am meeting with my RE March 30th to discuss next steps and possible further testing, although I don't know what because on top of our IF testing I had RPL b/w drawn after my 3rd loss and all that came back normal.
QOTW: I am not a big fan of basketball but I always root for OSU Buckeyes because I am a huge OSU football fan... can you tell from my SN?
Honey I'm so sorry you're going through this again! Have you taken baby aspirin during treatment cycles before? If your RPL was normal IDK if it would help at all but maybe ask your RE about it. I'm praying for you and I'm amazed by your strength to deal with so many losses. I cannot imagine what you're going through. ((hugs))
Update: I unexpectedly started my period today on CD 37. This was my shortest cycle ever, which I'm pretty excited about. I'm still not sure that I O'd, though, so who knows. I'm hopeful for this coming cycle.
QOTW: Not a basketball fan, but I always cheer for Syracuse.
TTC since June 2010.
DX hypothyroidism, pituitary hyperfunction, and PCOS.
On med/treatment break indefinitely. Not currently trying.
Lots of love to all of my Golden Girls!

No major updates. DH's first SA showed low motility and only slightly above normal count so we may be adding MFI to our diagnosis, depending on the results of the second one. He's doing the second one in the AM. I finished my Provera Thursday and started spotting and cramping today. I will have my bloodwork and HSG after AF shows.
QOTW: I don't do brackets. I only follow the Tarheels so I don't really care about the other teams lol. My dad went to Chapel Hill so I've been a fan since I can remember.

Thank you hon. My RE did put me on 2mg extra of folic acid and baby aspirin after my third loss as a precaution. I've been thinking about you and praying for you hon, I can't even begin to imagine all you're going through.
Lap to take care of blocked left tube (repair if possible or remove if not able to repair and have funtioning tube), to check out right tube (make sure it's functioning and not blocked), and to check for endo (which RE thinks is likely there due to "wacked out cycles" and severe pain) scheduled for end of April.
