TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

I'm back. FML.

MTHFR, two copies, A1298C. Lovenox after ovulation next pregnancy, yadda yadda yadda.

RE: Although this may be responsible for the two early losses, Trisomy 16 is not linked to MTHFR, and given the way your first loss went, I think we are still looking at a chromosomal issue.

So karyotypes for DH and I, TTA for the next cycle at least...and a huge packet about IVF PGD so we can "start to really think about it."

I just want to give up. It's fine. Just forget it. I'll just have the Doodle, sounds great.

My heart hurts so much right now, and I don't even know for sure there's anything wrong. I just have this feeling.

  • Oh sweetie.

    I just want to drive to Chicago and hug you.

  • I'm sorry it wasn't better news Crying I hope the karyotyping comes back ok and the chromosomal losses were just flukes.
  • I'm sorry that you didn't get better news at your appointment. Hopefully the karyotypes are all okay and the Trisomy 16 was just a fluke.

  • ((hugs))sweetie, I am so sorry that you are going through this.  I wish I could do something to make everything better.

  • I know it seems like a lot now, but let me help put things in perspective. 

    The MTHFR is very treatable.  Your trisomy losses could have been bad luck, but getting the karyotypes will help you know for sure (although I really wish he would have just ordered these with your clotting panel if he was going to suggest them either way).  And even if there is a translocation, you still have a fighting chance even without IVF.  And no matter how you get there, you will have a baby someday.

    You know we're all pulling for you!

    I know, you're right. And even if we do need the IVF, that is hardly the end of the world.

    I just stupidly felt so optimistic that I was going to go in and she would be all "great, we have an answer, let's make a healthy baby!"

    I'm tired of getting punched in the gut. Make that the ute.

  • I'm sorry Allison. Snuggle lots with Scout tonight. Our doggies always know when we need extra love.

    And as others have said, MTHFR is easily treatable and the chromosome issues might have been bad luck. You can still get your forever baby without having to do IVF.  

    And even if you do end up doing IVF, you still have hope. Big hugs Allison.

  • Oh honey, what a sh*t ton of stuff to have on your plate. I wish I had some sort of great advice for you. I guess just take a little bit of time and let it sink in. Maybe get drunk? And, as always, know we are here for you.

  • Aw hun.  I'm so sorry.  :(  It is a gut-punch.  Here's hoping they find little to nothing.

    But yes, you have us, you have the Doodle, and you've got a kick a$$ hubby. . . so that's something.  That's a veritable army on your side, friend. 

  • ((hugs)) Allison. This is so hard to take. I do truly believe that you will be a mother one day. You are searching for the answers right now, but you will find them.

  • Hey, stupid question.  But how long will it take for them to get your karyotypes back?  Would you be able to try this cycle if they come back before O and are OK?

    This cycle is out and the next one as well, most likely.

    We should have them back some time within the next four weeks.

  • *big hugs*

    Sorry about the additional issues, it seems like there can never be just one. I'm not sure if it i'll make you feel better on not, but DD happened all on her own before we knew about all this crap. 

    We're gonna do the PGD talk with the RE on thursday (but DH is pretty against it at the moment).

  • I'm so sorry, that is an awful lot of info to get in one appt.  I know it is so scary and seems like the worst thing in the world.  But, like BBH said there is a chance that it could have been a fluke.  That is what I will be praying for. Sending hugs, and thoughts to you.

  • Coming out of the woodwork to give you a big hug!! I've never heard of lovenox after ovulation. If you want any pointers on lovenox let me know, I take it when I'm pg.

    Dh and I just had chromosome/karyotype testing done and we're awaiting results. Big Hugs!!

  • I'm sorry you didn't get better news.  Maybe the TTA  will give you time to think about and absorb all the new info. I'm praying for you! ( whether you like it or notStick out tongue)

  • I'm really sorry.

    You know, this whole TTCAL thing has made me realize that no matter what life throws at us, there is always another day and if you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you will get through it and will be a stronger person. Sometimes it's just hard to take that first step after the bad news, but you will get through this.

    It still sucks and you have every right to go out and drink your face off and cry and feel sorry about it and whatever else makes you feel at least a little better.

    I hope you get the rest of the answers soon and that everything is ok and the Trisomy was just a fluke.

    (((HUGS)))

  • I'm sorry Allison. Sending big hugs your way. Wish I was closer to give you hugs in person. You have been in my thoughts and will continue to be in my thoughts.

    Huge squishy hugs!

  • I'm so sorry, Allison.  As the others have said though, its an answer and its treatable.  It's a lot better than "we're not sure why this happens to you".  I haven't been down the same road as you, but after my loss and then diagnosis of Factor V, I spun down a dark hole for a couple of weeks.  It's a lot to process, but you will work through it and come out on the other side with a plan.  You are a strong, amazing woman with an equally fabulous DH, and Doodle who loves you more than anything.  Oh, and then there's all of us who are pulling for you, too.  [[hugs]]
