TTC After a Loss

Intro

Sorry I haven't gotten this sooner. I'm not one to make a fuss about me, so I tend to just read posts and comment occasionally. I'm not the greatest when it comes to posting, but I hope to do better in the New Year. 

My husband and I were high school sweethearts and best friends. We finally got married 6/23/13 and started TTC 12/13. 2014 started out with great hope, but three MCs later, we are still in the same boat. Another BFN today cemented that for the year. I have been seeing a reproductive specialist who found that one of my blood levels was high which could be causing the MCs, so I will take injections the moment I get a BFP HPT. 

Other than that, we bought our first home in January. Adopted a rescue puppy in August. I work as a Web Designer and Developer. My husband is in Customer Service. Before settling down, I used to work on cruise ships sailing around the world and three years as a Cruise Director on a river boat in China. So, I worked 7 years abroad instead of starting a family, but I never expected this to happen. 

I hope the board will welcome me :)

    Your past job sounds so very interesting. I hope you at least enjoyed it while you were doing it!

    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

  • @PetraStonegirl Yes, I believe so. I have the test results at home and medicine, so I'll double check. Has to do with needing to thin the blood. Already taking a daily low dose aspirin.

    Thank you all again for the welcomes and the support. My rescue pup is named Monty (we kept his name) and they think he is about 1 1/2 years old. A cocker spaniel, retriever mix. He is all play, play, play!

  • @PetraStonegirl Thanks for the tip. I'm one to accept the doctor's word and do my own research, but I had no idea there's even more to it. I will have to call the doctor because he didn't let me know what form.

    "Everybody here has got a story to tell. Everybody's been through their own hell. There's nothing too special about getting hurt, but getting over it that takes the work. Because one way or another, we all need each other. Nothing's going to turn out the way you thought it would. Friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover because everything comes out the way it should in the end." -Glen Phillips, "Duck and Cover" 


  • Thank you for all the kinds works of support. @PetraStonegirl‌ and @LDubHawksFan‌ the test that came back high was Cardiolipin AB (IGM) at 21 which is the start of the low to medium positive scale and should be less than 12. The injections are Enoxaparin Sodium, USP. The results also say that Factor V Leiden is negative. I have a call out to the doctor for follow up.
