Well started first af since D&C but it is awful, but hopefully can move on:( my question is( and any give your opinions!) I get pregnant easy but miscarried 3 times. Dr wants to do clomid and trigger shot again..in April/May but isn't clomid for not ovulating or trouble conceiving? That doesn't seem to be my problem. Staying pregnant is. Do you guys think the clomid is worth it? Or would you guys just try natural with progesterone supplementation.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but couldn't the losses be due to age and egg quality, especially them having chromosomal issues that there is nothing we can do about? I'm not familiar with Clomid personally, does it help with egg quality at all? If not, I think I'd lean toward trying au natural again given that you seem to not have issues with getting pregnant.
These decisions are so hard to make since none of us want to waste the precious time we have. Would there ever be a way that you would do IVF with PGD testing to help determine the best quality eggs? I know all this has been so hard on you and I'm hoping you can find success soon. Thinking of you!
**** siggy warning - bfp & loss **** ---- All Welcome ---

IUIs: 2 in 2012 ... Both BFN
IVF #1: 10/16/13 ... BFP, however it was not viable and ended in an early loss at 7weeks.
IVF #2: Feb '14 ... Cancelled. Positive beta at baseline appt, became very early loss.
IVF #2: Apr '14 ... Retrieval Only. 2 embryos made it to day 3 freeze & will be batched with IVF #3 for PGD testing.
IVF #3: June '14 ... Retrieval Only. 4 embryos growing, all arrested before day 5. Two from April thawed, but also arrested.

If it really is an age issue with no fix (and I say this as someone who's 40 next month--right there with you!) fertilizing more eggs can only increase your chances that one is good. If it _does_ have something to do with releasing eggs before they're ready, perhaps it really could help?
I think@PrivateOne's suggested course of action sounds much more effective, but if that's not an option it doesn't seem like this would hurt, and it might help....
Anyway, I hope you get some answers from people who know a lot more about clomid than I do.

I'm sure "our age" increases the chances of having a chromosomal problem. My OB said to just keep trying until you get a good egg. I told my RE, I'm tired of having a mc. Yes I did have a MC in my early 20's at 14 weeks that I'm sure it was chromosomal also but they didn't test. It can happen at any age but it does increase the older we get. At this point there has to good egg somewhere in there so if I can get 2 eggs a month (I'd rather 3) then that increases my chance of finding that 1 good egg.
