Close Miscarriage
My husband and I have been trying to have our second child since January 2007. On Aug.9, 2007, I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage and had a D&C the same day. I conceived again in the winter, but ultrasound revealed a blighted ovum on Dec.6; 2nd miscarriage Dec.23. Complications led to another D&C on Dec.28 = devastated, drained, depressed. Another missed miscarriage was diagnosed June 23 and d&c June 25, 2008. This struggle has transformed me and my life.
Treatments
- D&C Working / Worked
- Aug.: My doctor said the procedure went well and I was healing (physically) appropriately at my 2-week follow-up. I did have bleeding, at times heavy, off and on for several weeks. Again, the doctor said this was appropriate to my situation.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I was lucky to find a licensed psychologist who specializes in fertility issues. She has been a tremendous help!
Close Infertility, Secondary
After having a healthy son in 2005, my husband and I have struggled to have a second child. I've conceived three times (in June '07, November '07 and May '08), but the pregnancies all ended in miscarriages. The 1st and 3rd were missed miscarriages, followed by D&C's. The second was a blighted ovum, discovered at 7 weeks. Trying to avoid surgery, I miscarried at 10 weeks but complications made surgery necessary again. This struggle has transformed my life.
Treatments
- Basal Thermometer Working / Worked
- Charting helped me understand my cycle and target our efforts: four conceptions, but three miscarriges.
- Femara Working / Worked
- Improved my luteal phase the first cycle; healthy pregnancy at 25 weeks and counting
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
- four conceptions using these; unfortunately, miscarried three.
- Progesterone Working / Worked
- 300mg daily until 16 weeks; healthy pregnancy so far at 25 weeks
Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility
Two years, three miscarriages, countless tests and treatments and tears later, I'm back. My diagnosis is unexplained recurrent miscarriage; probable cause is luteal phase defect (i.e. low progesterone). I'm on progesterone, baby aspirin and prenatals of course as well as doing acupuncture to support this pregnancy. BFP 1/16/08, 1st hcg also 1/16/08 = 58.6, 2nd hcg scheduled 1/19/08.
Treatments
- Progesterone Too Soon to Tell
- 300mg daily hoping it helps
- Acupuncture Too Soon to Tell
- 2x week hoping it helps
