Hi everyone!
First time for me posting on this board...and I've questioned whether to post, or what category to post in!!
****My loss*****
MMC blighted ovum 11/12, MC 11/13 maybe BO, MMC 8/14 tiny chromo normal boy made it 10 weeks/no HB at 12.
My
details (and cannot my signature to save for the life of me!! anybody
know why it is this way?) 39, DH 43, tested for "everything" through RE.
All normal except DOR of <.16, FSH normal. Only 4 follicles were
seen at the beginning of this year when I got tested. RE indicated last
week that he did not think I would have any more or less of a chance
getting a baby with or without IVF, as we seem to get pregnant very
easily (which I don't think it a common category). He didn't seem to think pulling my eggs for IVF would
necessarily have positive results. A DE was suggested, which with Dr.
Google, is what they tell just about every lady with this issue. And
there were many people who ended up having a baby with their OE. So... 2
questions:
1. Are/were you possibly in this scenario? If so, what did you choose to do? What worked (or didn't)?
2.
What do you do to not obsess about creating the perfect environment to
cook a little one? And do you do anything special you would recommend?
I
can't help but wonder if every single thing I do/eat, etc. will produce
a better environment (like there is a secret way that I can figure out
to get the rainbow) while simultaneously knowing that if I get a
positive or neg result from a further pregnancy, I will never know what
set of factors played into it. An example, oh, I did acupuncture the
last time and we got a little guy in there, does that mean I should do
it again?
Thanks in advance everyone!!

TTC#2 No birth control since DD was born. Getting ready to jump back in the saddle. Weaning this month. RE
appt scheduled 5/8. Here we go again!
11/13 beta #1 924!!! 2nd bet 11/15 1906, one more on 11/17 3rd & final beta 3430. First u/s 12/5, 7w4d, 2 heartbeats,
My first was with clomid/iui. My second was with supplements only...basically natural. It sounded like bs, but there have been several women on the high fsh board get pregnant on the same supps I was on. I got pregnant after those abysmal stats above! I have not had recurrent mc but I did develop severe preeclampsia and my son had iugr with my first. So, basically, there were major issues with the placenta and how it implanted for my first. I am lucky with both were ultimately ok with the severe pree even though my son was tiny and early, had fetal distress, spent time in the nicu, etc.
Eta - to answer your 2nd question, I highly recommend a high dose of vitamin d (at least 2000 iu), ubiquinol coq10 at least 3 times a day, and baby aspirin. I was on some others but don't remember them all now.
