What questions should I ask?? ??♀️
Hi all! I have a consultation with my RE on Thurs to discuss my back to back miscarriages and our plans moving forward. I had 2 successful FETs both of which ended in early miscarriage. The first was in October at 6 weeks and the second was in January st 7 weeks. I’ve been working on a list of questions I should ask my doctor. I have already had the recurrent loss blood panel and we discovered I have a MTHFR gene mutation. The second transfer I was taking folate and baby aspirin because of the MTHFR in addition to estrogen and progesterone. We’ve been ttc for 9 years and have only been able to get pregnant through IVF. I am 35 and also have PCOS and I’m not sure if these relate to my problems or not.

@cphelps it went great! He answered all my questions and calmed my mind. We’re planning in doing our next transfer on April 5th! And he’s wants to do a saline sonogram before then. He is adding lovenox blood thinners to my protocol. Also we decided to transfer 2 embryos rather than just 1. He said he is very hopeful for us and that we will have our 2018 baby! Thanks for checking in on me ☺️
My consultation is this afternoon... wish me luck!
@flowers I’ll for sure ask about those tests. And we didn’t PGS test our embryos because there wasn’t any cause at the time and where I’m at it’s $5,000. But it’s definitely something I may look into in the future. Thanks for the suggestions!
@babydreams I definitely am going to ask about blood thinners. I’ve heard lots of good things about both clexane and lovenox. Thanks for the suggestion!
So sorry for your losses ? for me, they tested for natural killer cells, low leukocyte antibody detection (LAD), and a slew of other immune tests. I can check my results and see what was tested to know the specifics. Have your embryos been PGS tested? There may be a possibility that the ones transferred may not have been chromosomally ‘normal’.
@chphelps, I used to take metformin before we started IVF but stopped because of the side effects. I’ll definitely ask my doctor about going back on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Thanks ladies! I’m excited to try again but I’m also super nervous. I just hope we get our rainbow this time!
