Is this where I need to be??

I am really ready to find a place on the bump where I fit in and can make some friends who understand what I'm going through and help me know what I should do next and this board was recommended but I'm really confused. I have 2 LO's but had my 5th loss yesterday (12/27). We've been actively trying for 10 months but ready to have another for 14 months and have lost 3 of the 5 during this time. We suspect the IUD I had was partially to blame for losses and lower hormone levels than normal. I contacted an RE several weeks ago but when I explained my situation she said she couldn't help me 
. She said go back to my OB. My OB has tested for everything (I think) and all results have come back negative for complication/good results. The only other test he thinks we should do is for DH's chromosomes with the genetic councilor.
It seems to be common in this area to leave your patients in the dark. I have had 3 drs and 7 pregnancies and still seem to know very little about TTC and all the numbers I'm supposed to know with pregnancy. We want to take a break from trying for now as we need to be there for our LO's and we think my body needs rest/healing, but we do want to try again and when we do we want help because we really don't want another loss. Since I know so little and the only RE in the area can't help me I'm at a total loss. And I do apologize, if I'm in the wrong place please direct me further, and I know very few acronyms. I've been on the bump since August and on another site before that but have only gone from my birth month club to miscarriage and loss each time. I haven't stayed anywhere long enough to catch on to anything, so I guess I'm still kind of a newb. I do promise that once I find the group I need to be in I will try to be supportive and not talk this^^^^ much.

There is only one in my area, however I know some people travel for some things and I have found one an hour and a half away and several 2 and 3 hours away. It's not ideal, but it is an option!!! An hour and a half is not that far.
