Hi Guys! Thank you so much for the warm welcome back. You are both so sweet to make me feel missed! Thank you. Frances, I'm so happy for you that everything is going well. Sounds like you are having a boy? Congratulations! Jenna, I'm so sorry for the chemical pregnancies. I could cry for you. I'm so happy that you have supportive women around you though on the CS. As for me, not much new. We've continued to try, but haven't had any luck. AF shows up regularly. I can't really say I expect any different anymore. I finally decided to try a reproductive endocrinologist, just to give it a try. We did one month of clomid without success and switched to injectables and progesterone this month. I trust and like the doctor so we will see what happens. I feel like I don't have to think about it because he is thinking about it for me. He's tested my ovaries and says they are fine - lots of eggs, thyroid is fine, my uterus looks good and my tubes are open. Husband's sperm is fine. The RE tells me I'm the healthiest patient he has, which is comforting yet not. He said today we will try maybe three months of injectables and maybe IUI and if that doesn't work, then I would get referred elsewhere for IVF. We haven't yet decided if we want to do that. We've been traveling like maniacs since the miscarriage, and I'm finally exhausted and just wanting to stay home. The miscarriage is never far from my mind and I can't get over it but am learning to finally accept it and whatever comes my way. I so loved being on this site but found it stressed me out and made me assume the worst of my body. I assumed everything anyone mentioned was my problem and stressed myself to the point where I had to leave. I do miss you guys and think of you. I'll try to check in on you - I am still so hoping the best for you both. Jenna, you are so darn brave that I am in tears. Your optimism and strength is an inspiration to me. I especially was thinking of you in April - darn if that wasn't a hard month to get through! Frances, your success gives me hope. Thank you so much for remembering me and making me feel so welcome. No matter what happens for me, I won't ever forget you guys. I'll do better at staying in touch. Julie ↑
Julie, I don’t want to lose touch with you again. Wow you have been busy with getting down to the bottom of what is going on. That is great and it sound like both you and dh are in great health. I really hope this is your time and you get a bfp soon before having to do the IVF. Either way you will have your little one. I am on CD 10 today and will ovulate tomorrow sometime. DH and I have this whole timing thing down pat. I noticed some ewcm this morning and knew that it was time to get busy. This afternoon I had a positive opk test and that confirmed it. I have no problems getting pregnant when I time it right. I just went in yesterday for some testing which is called habitual blood testing so I should get the results by Monday I am hoping. The only thing that sucks about getting these tests done is that my insurance won’t cover it until my deductible is paid off which is $500 so I am excepting a big bill but it will be worth it if I can have my little one. Anyway, I sure hope things are going well for you. Will you be testing soon? Keep in touch. Jenna ↑
Jenna, How are you doing? I just skimmed through the clean slate to see how you are doing and saw that you got a BFP in July but then disappeared and I didn't see anything else from you. Are you okay? Just checking in... No news here (as always). ↑
Hi Julie! Well I am not pregnant. I was really frustrated with everything and just have not posted. When I know more I will post again. I did have a whole blood work up done and I have factor 5 leiden which is a blood clotting issue. I have an appointment on Sept. 2nd with a hematologist. Well I will let you know when I have more information. As of now I am trying not to think about it to much and throwing my self into my work. Jenna ↑
Jenna, I'm so so sorry. Hopefully now you know what is wrong and maybe you can fix it. You get pregnant relatively easily thus far, so hopefully you can find a solution and have success. I'm so hopeful for you now that you know what is wrong. I'm so sorry though. Getting your hopes up over and over has to be crushing. I'm not sure what is worse emotionally - me never getting pregnant again or getting your hopes up and getting crushed over and over. I can't express how sorry I am. I hope your hematologist is fantastic and has solutions for you. I didn't get my repeat april baby either - someday, right? ↑
Jenna, I'm not sure if you are around anymore - I didn't see you on the Clean Slate when I skimmed it. I hope you are doing well. Well, the latest for me is that we have decided to internationally adopt. I'm so excited about it that I just can't even describe it. ↑
