TTC After a Loss

Saline sonogram done...

I just came back from having the saline sonogram done with RE.  It was not nearly as bad as I expected and the cramping was minimal.  She said my uterus was completely perfect with no abnormalities. 

Although it's great to hear there's no problems, it seems to be the running theme with all my tests.  So far everything has come back normal.  I've had done RPL, AMH, thyroid testing, progesterone, prolactin, and CD3 testing.  I'm waiting on the results from kerotyping and DH semen analysis.  I have a following up appointment on 5/31 with RE.  If every test is normal, I can't help but wonder if she will say there is nothing really to do and that my 3 consecutive losses were just "bad luck" (as my OB put it).

Vent over...have a great holiday weekend!

  • I'm glad that everything went well and that your ute looks normal.  I know how frustrating it can be to feel like something is wrong and not be able to pinpoint a dx.  Hopefully though, it was just really "bad luck" (I hate that phrase when it comes to MCs but I don't know how else to say it).

    ((hugs))

  • I'm glad you have a normal ute, but I understand the frustration over not having any answers. I'm so scared that my diagnosis will be bad luck. :(
    It was a rough road, but Arlo Daniel was born April 1, 2013—and our second rainbow is due October 12, 2014.

    I'm glad your test results are clear, but at the same time it is very frustrating to not have any idea of a diagnosis or treatment.  I hope your RE has some advice and/or ideas for you.

  • Thats not easy to hear.  Besides your thyroid, did you have any other immune testing done?

    Yes.  I forget all the names (written down at home) but I know it was the lupus screening, several "anti" body tests I think? Some standard tests were not run b/c they ruled things out when I had my 2 sons.

  • I can understand the frustration. I had a couple of tests come back slightly abnormal but overall my RE still thinks that none of those issues were the cause. He thinks I've just had bad luck as well. 

    It is frustrating and I hope you get "good" answers soon!
