Ok - my turn! post appt report

CarrieLeigh84 · July 2010

So... It was kind of a waste of time.

Dr walks in, says "Sorry for your miscarriage"

Me: Tongue Tied but almost Crying

Anywho, Dr does not think that this last loss was caused by my prometrium withdrawl. He said that it was most likely a genetic thing. He also said that 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. (I should go buy a lottery ticket - I keep being the 'statistic')

The "plan": Keep on going with clomid. He's letting me do 3 more cycles of 150mg clomid. No monitoring. I asked. He said he doesn't do it, especially because I've had success (weak success in my eyes).And he wants me to wait another month (really, Dr? 2 months for such an early loss?)

The semi-good news: Laproscopy has been put off until I fail these next 3 cycles of clomid.

All in all - not the most informative appointment, but whatever. Not the Doomsday news that I normally get.

It sucks you have to wait another month, but I'm glad he thinks moving on and trying with the Clomid again is a good idea.

And I'm glad you can delay the Lap.

KelinandKevin · July 2010

I am glad you have a plan and are going to give the Clomid another shot. And delaying the lap is good! I'll cross my figners for you hun!

babygirlpriest · July 2010

Huge hugs sweetie... how are you feeling about all this?

SweetieD21 · July 2010

Are you seeing an RE? I find that odd that he won't monitor you, especially on such a high dose of clomid. You could have cysts from the previous cycle and not know it if you don't have a cd3 u/s. Have you discussed IUI as an option with the clomid?

suntoto · July 2010

Hugs!

JuJuBe3 · July 2010

I'm glad you have a plan in place. I hope the clomid gives you big success this time. I'm sorry about the waiting though.

ColindaP · July 2010

1. We know clomid works. That's good.

2. Not monitoring is fvcking stupid.

3. the prometrium thing sounds on track. all the research thats out there indicates that progesterone supps are neutral for pregnancy, neither helping nor harming. hell, i stopped taking progesterone and 3 weeks later still hadnt started miscarrying.

4. if you dont get pg in these 3 cycles, are injectables and iui the next step?

The Dr I'm seeing is a fertility Dr. I specifically asked about cysts (for BBHME) and he said that I got pregnant so he doesn't believe I have issues with lining or with cysts... ::insert massive eyeroll from me here::

I'm sorry you didn't get more answers. But glad you don't have to have a lap yet.

All of this. Good luck!

triple_sevens · July 2010

Hugs, Carrie. I hope the next Clomid cycle does the trick.

swanck · July 2010

Oh I'm sorry you have to wait another month. That's not fair. And I wish the appointment was more 'exciting' - but it's a plan!

I hope this plan brings you joy soon!

Ashley858 · July 2010

Im sorry about what your Dr. said at the begining. GL!

pepomntpat · July 2010

{hugs} I'm sorry it wasn't the best appointment.

AppleRidge · July 2010

Okay, actually, I think this is okay. I think his opinion about the prometrium is crap, but whatever. You get to move forward with the dose of Clomid that did actually work. With religious charting (religious, Carrie!) and using your effing fertility monitor (use it, Carrie!), you'll have an idea of whether and when you ovulate. And you don't have to do the lap (which I thought was kind of a waste).

I am excited for this. How long is he going to let you go on this sorta-cycle before you get prometrium? Or (please, no) is he going to do another mid-cycle start? I'd like to hear what the MFM has to say about the plan.

In short, good luck and long live parentheses!

I'm glad you are going to try clomid again but it stinks that he won't do any monitoring. I will be crossing my fingers for you!

johannaknip · July 2010

Hugs and crossing everything that this new plan works.

Court1 · July 2010

:::Hugs::: A plan is a plan I suppose. I'm sorry they're making you wait another month though!

Amanda78 · July 2010

I'm glad you have a plan Carrie. I hope this works for you.

Tinybride08 · July 2010

I hope everything works out!

jdeats71 · July 2010

Hugs Carrie - waiting sucks donkey balls.........

babes12 · July 2010

well that really stinks you have to wait to TTC again. but hopefully you can at least enjoy the summer w/ lots of drinks! Drinks

and hopefully the clomid works and you get that sticky baby!!!!

ERICA21779 · July 2010

Im sorry that you're on hold for another month, thats such a tough thing...............Im glad that he's going to let you do three more months of the clomid and hopefully the Lap won't be necessary in the end.

OCIrishBruin · July 2010

(((Hugs))) I'm glad you have a plan, but sorry it involves waiting another cycle. That blows. I hope the clomid/charting does the trick next time and you get the sticky baby you deserve sooooo much.

hoping&waiting · July 2010

Glad there's no doomsday news and no lap. I hope one of these cycles brings you your sticky baby. I know it's sometimes hard to stay positive so I will be positive for you!

Mocha Girl · July 2010

Sorry it wasn't a super exciting appt, howerver, I'm glad it wasn't bad news! Sending you lots of T&Ps!!!

dondraandluis · July 2010

I'm sorry you have to wait an extra month but glad that you can put off the lap (((hugs)))

ihearteddieboo · July 2010

((hugs)) Carrie. Sorry you didn't get all the answers you wanted at your appointment and that you have to wait another month (sucks!), but glad that there is a plan. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

ShellShockedMama · July 2010

two months seems long I'm sorry that you have to wait.

I don't understand why he won't monitor you, I think that would frustrate me as well.

butterfly843 · July 2010

((hugs)) Sorry you have to wait another month. Glad you can put the lap off and hope you won't even need to get it.

PeetiePie · July 2010

I'm sorry he's making you wait a bit longer, but I hope this plan is successful. GL hon.

rjl07 · July 2010

I really hope this works for you. I wish he would monitor you though - cysts are not the only issue. You are on a high dose and could be at risk for multiples and that may not be the best option for you. I have everything crossed for you though and I'm glad you have a plan. ((hugs))
