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.
So I asked this earlier and didn't get much feedback. Maybe there's more mommies on now? 🤔
My question is;
Are there any mommies here who have had a successful pregnancy with hypothyroidism??
Ladies what was your work schedule like while pregnant? I work 40 hours a week & have only 2 days off a week . Should I cut my hours back ?

I Have A Question. Is This Positive Or What Is This? I Took This Way Before Ovulation And After My Light Period From My Miscarriage.. Been Trying To Concieve After I Got This Too. Waiting To Miss My Period Though. Then I'll Take Another One If So. Help??
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.
Thanks ladies! I’m excited to try again but I’m also super nervous. I just hope we get our rainbow this time!
