Well, back from appt...

She didn't have many more answers for us than my ob did. The pathology confirmed there was a large clot behind my placenta with no other abnormalities. This was caused by a partial abruption that led to my PPROM. She ordered a clotting panel to rule out any clotting disorders. For our TTC plans, she told us the standard 3-6 months (whereas my OB said one cycle), with doing betas as soon as I get a bfp and starting p17 injections at 16 weeks.

    I'm sorry that you didn't get the answers you were hoping for.  We also don't have a definitive answer for why we lost baby Gary.  There was more than one contributing factor and they can't pin point it.  I know how frustrating it can be.  However, I am glad to hear that you have a plan for when you decide to TTC again.  It's a good step forward.  Hugs!

    I'm glad she's going to attempt to rule some things out with a test and that you have a plan!

    I am so sorry that you did not get many answers, but am glad to hear that they are going to do some more testing to have more knowledge.  I am sorry that she is asking you to wait 3-6 months vs the one cycle.  (((Hugs)))

    (Rainbow pregnancy mentioned)

    I'm sorry you didn't get many more answers from your appointment today.  I know how maddening that can be.

    My biggest hurdle in TTC I think was not having a plan.  When I sat down with a new practitioner and started to sort that out, I was much more open mentally to trying again.  Part of my plan to prevent preterm labor is to start p17 injections, and I actually had my first one today.  They aren't fun, but it's actually really helpful because I feel like I'm doing something to help my baby, whereas earlier in the pregnancy I felt like I was just sitting around doing nothing (I'm not, of course, but I enjoy having a plan and something I can do to help the situation).  I know you are a ways away from this, I just hope it gives you some strength that people are watching out for you and your baby from the beginning.

    I'm sorry you didn't get many answers, I know how hard that can be.  I hope starting a plan will give you something positive to look forward to.  It can sometimes help to have things planed out so you kind of know what to expect.

    It is very helpful to have a plan. It enables me to look forward a little bit. We do still have to wait for my labwork to come back.
