Wondering about your personal opinions.

*warning talks about loss I have noticed that many people that deal with infertility and manage to get pregnant suffer a loss. I have a very close friend who found out that she was pregnant after her fourth cycle of clomid and was over the moon! They had been trying for two years already and she was so happy, but she ended up having a blighted ovum, sac only, no baby. We have the same fertility doctor that says fertility treatments once they get you pregnant don't have a higher risk of pregnancy loss. What do you all think. Doesn't seem to be true to me...

    After my loss I have come to realize that so many more people than I ever expected, fertile and struggling with infertility, have experienced a loss. I think once you get deep into this mess you're just talking about it more so you hear about it more. No idea what statistics are though.

    Two DDs 10/08 and 08/10, no primary IF
    TTC #3 since 10/2011 - dx unexplained/weak ovulation
     3 BFN clomid + TI cycles, 5 BFN clomid/gonal f IUIs, 1 mmc IUI
    2/19/2014 IVF #1 Unexpected low E2 (oversuppressed) -> increased to max doses = 3 or 4 follicles, converting to IUI
    BFFP Saw 1 beautiful heartbeat at 6w6d, follow up u/s at 9w showed mmc. Eff this.
    NTNP 5/2014-9/2014, OPKs and TI 10/2014 - 1/2015. 
    RPL testing all normal, AFC, AMH, and FSH all normal. 
    IVF 1.2 1/22/2014 natural cycle start, AFC 28, 300 gonal f/150menopur. 
    ER 2/3/15 14R 8M 3F w/ICSI Day 5 transfer on 2/8/15 of one "Grade A+" blast and have TWO frosties!

    My doctor says fertility treatments itself don't have higher risks but that the underlying conditions that caused you to get the treatment in the first place could lead to a higher rate of miscarriage and other complications. I was specifically told that we want to figure out and treat underlying issues before considering IVF and IUI so that it's not wasted money, time and heartache for that exact reason. My doctor, of course, explained it more eloquently than I have but it made total sense to me.

    I just googled. This seems to be what my doctor was saying:

    This is what I was thinking too, but you put it better than I would have. ;)
    Our RE told us the exact same thing.
