My sweet doctor called me today and my levels dropped to nearly negative. I started bleeding tonight so I'm at least grateful that I am always able to pass everything on my own. This is my 3rd loss in 5 months. She is referring me to an RE so hopefully I will get to meet with them soon. Thank you all for your support during my short stay. I hope to be back very soon. PS - I posted an intro on TTCAL after my second loss, but I was only active for a week or two. Anyone have any advice on how I should ease my way back over there? I keep bouncing around and I feel like I don't really belong anywhere. Good luck to all of you - you're all in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. As for TTCAL, just do a short re-intro and join a check-in or two. The Newbie check-in was always very helpful for me. ((HUGS))

I am sorry for your loss. I think the ladies at TTCAL are very supportive and would welcome you back. Dont forget the disclaimers about losses in your subject.... I hope the RE has good things for you and that you find yourself back here soon :-( ((hugs))
Thanks ladies! Another question: since my son was born I ovulate later - day 21. I'm wondering if old eggs could be my problem. My OB said they would probably start me on Femara. I'm just terrified that it could be scarring from my emergency cs that is preventing these babies from implanting. I'd appreciate any advice or success stories after similar situations.

I am sorry for you loss and I pray that seeing the RE soon will help you get answers and bring you back here quickly. TTCAL is an awesome place... Just ease your way back by giving support and joining in. In sure they will welcome you back with open arms. ((Hugs))

I'm so sorry for your loss! The RE is a great next step and will look into scarring and your cycles. A quick re-intro on TTCAL is the perfect way to re-join that community. Good luck, and I hope you get some answers soon!

I am sorry for your loss. I think PP have you great advice to re-intro ing on TTCAL. Read the sticky at the top, check out the blog and you should be ready. Best of luck to you. I hope the RE can give you some answers.
I'm so sorry. It's just not fair. Big hugs to you.
I sought the help of an RE after multiple losses as well. We had five losses. It was the best decision I made to go to an RE. OBs are great but most don't really know what to test for as it relates to recurrent loss. I ovulated very late too and had a questionable luteal phase and I always thought that maybe that had something to do with my egg quality and was causing my losses. This pregnancy I took co enzyme q 10 three months leading up to trying again and opted for Clomid with Ovidrel without IUI and it got my ovulation up by a week and us well into second trimester now so I would definitely ask your RE about Femera or clomid. There is no way to know if that is what did the trick but my husband and I definitely feel like it. A hysteroscopy is a procedure that can be done to rule out scarring and can give you a better look internally. I had it done and I found it easy physically and it was good to get some answers. There are a ton more tests that can be run too.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. If I can be of any help to you please don't hesitate to private message me anytime. I have pretty much had all the tests and procedures done so let me know if I can help. Recurrent loss or any loss can feel like a very isolating experience but you aren't alone. There is hope.
