TTC After a Loss

After years of loss, hurting, struggle, infertility, and more... I finally have answers. In the past (before my new husband and I were together), I went through 12 miscarriages, fertility treatments, etc. Then my daughter was stillborn at 22 weeks due to preterm labor, incompetent cervix, and hour-glassing membranes. So when my husband and I met with the specialist 2 weeks ago, the suggested genetic testing. I was a nervous wreck to say the least. It's super expensive and not covered by my insurance. But it was necessary, so I went with it. Turns out... it was the best money I've ever spent. I was diagnosed with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) or more commonly known as Hughes syndrome. It's a blood clotting disease that caused all of my miscarriages. The great news, is that I finally let go of some of the guilt I've been carrying around for years. I know that sounds strange... to be happy about a serious, incurable disease... But it wasn't me. It wasn't something I did or did not do. There's no more "Oh, it happens." or "it just wasn't meant to be", etc. Now we know. And we have a plan. So I started medication and the doctor has approved us to try this month. So I am on cloud nine today! And I just wanted to share.
