just got back from my "WTF"..
I feel it was a wasted appt....I could have (and wished) it was just a phone consult..it was a pointless drive and 15 minutes..but whatever, i guess it had to be done...so basically (as i expected) there was no real reason for my miscarriage..chemical pregnancy is what they are calling it...she said it's an egg quality issue..which is clearly not good, since you can't "fix" that...with my age (34) i should not be having this issue...so they are thinking that my crohn's disease is the culprit..all the auto-immune supressing drugs ive been on and steroids in the last 4 years, plus the surgery to remove my colon (causing other things..scarring, etc)...she did recommend DHEA and accupunture (which I have done in september -december for crohns...but didn't like it and didn't "buy" into it...) but i will try again, with the focus on "infertility" not crohn's....i am going to take a small break..and will do another (my 3rd) IVF cycle at the end of July...she will go back to the protocol that i was on for my first cycle, since she liked the quality of that embryo better then the one that actually stuck this time..she can't up my doses since i was on the strongest possible protocol..
sorry for the blabbering...i just feel like i got no real info...but weirdly, i did get this weird thought on my drive back that i think I "may" be fine with just my beautiful girl...i am truly thankful for her and i never realized how much of a blessing and a miracle she really is...
so, 2 more IVF cycles and then we are done trying...if it happens miraculously on our own, then of course we would be thrilled...but if not, we are over the moon in love with our daughter and will go on living our life as a happy little family of 3

Re: just got back from my "WTF"..
I'm sorry you felt your WTF was pointless.
I am glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better.

PLEASE get a 2nd opinion.....even if it is through another RE at RMA. Even if you hear the same thing somewhere else, at least you will have peace of mind.
Trust your gut! If you didn't like acupuncture, go to a different acupuncturist or don't do it. There is an acupuncture place in Montclair (I know its far for you) that specializes in infertility...may be worth a shot.
I am so sorry that it didn't go as well as you wanted it to and that you have to be going through this at all. {{{HUGS}}}

Jamie, I'm sorry the appointment was so disappointing. I ditto PP about the 2nd opinion, but, having recently felt the "I can be ok with just 3 of us" feeling myself, I understand that a break may come as a welcome relief. We're here for you no matter what you do. Sending thoughts your way. (HUG)

I just don't know what to say. I'm so sorry you didn't get the answers you wanted.
I am aboard the second opinion bus as well.
And yeah, to ditto Jenna, we're here for you no matter what you decide.
