Re: dragging my feet scheduling WTF appt.

  • Oh sweetie...:(

    I don't have any ideas for questions..and I really think you should wait until you are ready..

     

    I'm no help, am I?

  • I think this is a good start. I did the karotyping, and immune testing.  The immune testing came back quick (HLA Antigens DQ Alpha Match etc.) but the Karotyping took about 4 weeks to come back.  We went in July and got the results in August. Praying for you as always Sweetie ;)
    May 06: Natural PG= m/c, July 09: TI= m/c, November 09: TI=BFN, December 09: IUI= c/p
    IVF#1: start stims 1/26; ER 2/8; ET 2/13= BFN; FET#1: May 2010= m/c *NEW CLINIC Jan 2011* IVF#2: start stims 1/12; ER 1/22; ET 1/27= BFN; IVF#3: TBD

  • that sounds like a good list you have going :)

    Here is a list of miscarriage causes:

    https://www.reproductiveimmunology.com/causes-of-miscarriage/other-causes/

    Maybe that list will help spur any additional testing? I hope your WTF brings you some answers...closure....and continued hope moving forward. This next one has GOT to be it, right!!?

    PS - I have not consulted w/ Dr. Braverman....but have heard nothing but amazing things from women who have. Since you are in NYC...you could always do a consult with him. Or ask some questions on his message board. He deals a lot w/ immune and thrombophilia related miscarriages and implantation failure.

    Good luck sweetie!!?

    From all of my crazy research, he definitely seems to be one of the best...and seems genuinely interested in helping. Keep us all posted on your WTF :)

  • Oh, Sweetie.  I can see why you are dragging your feet.  This is so hard.  I think I remember you mentioning doing a phone consult with another clinic like CCRM.  Maybe it would be helpful just to get another set of eyes on your history to hopefully get some new ideas.

    ((((HUGS))))

  • I don't want to force you :( I'm with Madelyn in that I don't think you should go until you're ready. I just hate that you have to go through this at all. I just don't understand.

    I also don't have any additional ideas for questions. I do hope it goes as well as can be expected when you go.

    Huge, huge hugs!!!

  • I'm sorry. ((Hugs))

    I can't think of any other questions for you. I have noticed that most women on this board feel better after a WTF. So, maybe that will motivate you a bit?
