    • About Me

      I am a proud Momma to my little man who is 5 now. We have been trying for #2 for 4 years. We've experienced 2 unexplained miscarriages, both at 16 weeks and a chemical pregnancy. I do have a double mutation of heterogeneous MTHFR and PCOS, so between the 2 something is causing the miscarriages . Dealing with Secondary Infertility has been emotionally and physically draining. After my second miscarriage, I started experiencing Severe Panic Attacks and Anxiety.

    • Miss You

      From Chelly4 November 2

      Hoping your dream comes true!!

      From Chelly4 July 25

      Thank you! I knew you would make me feel more at peace with this. I did sneak into my fertility doctor's for a minute just to say hello and he didn't seem worried that I stopped the Lovenox. So I guess I didn't need them either!!! I don't think you are crazy-you educate yourself and do what you want. Nothing wrong with that. Take care :)

      Hi Jessie! How are you doing? I am good. Kind of freaking because my obgyn took me off my Lovenox shots 5 days ago. He said that with MTHfr if you have never had a blood clot you don't need it. So far so good and they are still moving in there. I just can't help but worry.

    • Thumbs Up

      From Chelly4 July 2

      I am so happy to hear that you are doing well and sticking with exercising. It just makes you feel better mentally and gives great endurance. Sorry about the PCOS though. You will still be able to have babies. I am feeling great! 18 weeks now and due end of November, if I last that long. We will know genders on the 16th of July. I am so excited!! Take care

    • Close Miscarriage

      Normal pregnancy 2004 - delivered a healthy 6 lbs. 14 oz baby boy, my little man; Miscarriage 16 weeks - Ana Grace-August 27,2006; Miscarriage 16 weeks - Dylan-September 26, 2007; Miscarriage 5 weeks April 4, 2008 Diagnosed with heterogyneous MTHFR - genetic blood clotting disorder; however that kind is not linked to RPL. I have gotten pg on my own 4 times and that is why it has taken me so long to get a positive diagnosis of PCOS. In my mind the PCOS explains my RPL.

      Lovenox Too Soon to Tell
      Started Lovenox with last pregnancy. It was a chemical pregnancy so you cant judge if it helped or not.
