Secondary IF

Intro

Hey Ladies,

I'm not sure if this is where I belong, but I have been lurking a little bit and wanted to say hello.  We have a 17month old DS and have been ttc #2 since my first ppaf this summer.  I realize it has not been that long, but so far I have had one miscarriage at 6 weeks and 2 CPs, I just had blood work done to look for clotting issues and I am dealing with a LPD.  Oddly, the LPD is not new, I had it when DS was conceived which shockingly (and thankfully) happened easily and quickly.   

I have been talking to my OB about the next steps, depending on how my lab work comes back I might start on a baby aspirin and we are discussing trying clomid or progesterone.  I'm a little scared of trying clomid- I think I am just scared and depressed about needed assistance to get/ stay pregnant. Part of me thinks I am just being impatient but the early miscarriages are really taking a toll and I feel like I need to do something to be proactive. 

Anyway, that's my story, sorry it's so long!  Hoping to learn for everyone else's experience :)

  •  My OB did mention referring me to an RE it we try a few more cycles with no luck.  I am supposed to call at the beginning of the week to go over my autoimmune labs so I will mention it when I speak with him.  Thanks for the input!!
