TTC After a Loss

Update on me, sorry I've been MIA

Between my niece and nephew's dedications a few weeks ago, my most recent loss and wrapping up another school year, I've been preoccupied and while I love you ladies- it's been nice to be preoccupied.

We're on a doctor ordered TTA cycle but I just O'd so I should be starting a new cycle next week sometime.  MH and I went to the REs office today and got all our results- everything we've every been testing for, including the most recent of karyotyping and genetic tests are 100% normal.  Of course, I do not want anything to be wrong but geez... bad luck x5?!  

Since we've been quite successful with timed intercourse, my RE does not feel IUI, at this point, will increase our odds much more.  Since I've already done 4 clomid cycles, he suggested switching it up so we're going to try FSH injections beginning next cycle!  

He also thought that my digestive issues could be an issue, like maybe my body is not 'ready' for pregnancy.  I have an endoscopy scheduled for next Friday to find out the cause of my awful symptoms.

    I totally get this. None of us want anything to be wrong, but if they happened to find some cause, or some reason (that was fixable, of course), it would give a little peace of mind. Like a clotting disorder, for example. Lovenox, baby aspirin, heparin, whatever - fix me up and then TTC again.

    Hooray for a new cycle next week-ish. :)

  • First off, so glad to see you here. Second, I totally get the MIA-ness. We all can use a break and being preoccupied (maybe not basement flooding preoccupied, but still). Third, so glad to hear it all went well today and those results are great! I hope that's a load off your mind. I think your plan sounds great! Lastly, I EM'd you today...just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't see it. I'm seeing you Saturday, hell or high water!! (hugs) my friend.

    Lots of testing, all clear with the exception of compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation. 

    Cycle 1: Femara, trigger shot, Bravelle added due to slow response = BFN
    Cycle 2: Cancelled due to two cysts =(
    Cycle 3: Femara, Bravelle, trigger shot and IUI = BFP then loss #3
    Cycle 4: Femara, Follistim, trigger shot and IUI = BFP!  EDD: 6/7/14

  • I'm really glad to see an update from you.  I've been wondering where you are.  I'm sorry that the testing didn't give any results, that's frustrating.  Hopefully this bad luck starts turning around to some good luck.  And, maybe the endoscopy will help you figure out what's going on with your digestive issues.  Thinking of you and sending prayers.

    So good to hear that you have been able to keep your mind busy during this time. Bad luck x5 does not sound like a good explanation, but I guess it is good that there is nothing wrong. Still sending you tons of prayers!
