I think it is a good idea to give yourself a break after 4 m/c in one year. It is soo emotionally and physically exhausting. I went Friday to my fertility specialist to ask him all my questions and talk about what he will change in my meds before and after pregnancy. He did increase my folgard to about 8 x's the recommended daily dose. (Double what I was taking) He said he will double my lovenox shots for my next pregnancy. Basically he said that my last loss was unexplained.(no chromosomal abnormalities) My homocystene levels were good and it wasn't likely that I had a blood clot with being on the lovenox. I also asked if it was considered high risk to go on clomid to try for a multiple birth. He said that it was not high risk and okay to do. He also said that most likely women with MTHFR go on to eventually have a live birth. Sometimes it just takes quite a few tries. He said he had one woman with 14 miscarriages before having a live birth. I know I couldn’t emotionally go through that many miscarriages. I can't do that to my son and my husband not to mention myself. I think I will give it one more try and hope for the best.... then look into adoption for sure. I also need to see a counselor for some support... I’m having a tough time dealing with all of this. I will make an appointment tomorrow. I have plans to start to try again next month to get pregnant. I want to make sure I deal with and morn the loss of my last pregnancy before moving on to another. Bibi and Stefkay it is good to talk to someone who understands what I'm going through. Stefkay I hope everything is still going well with your pregnancy. Bibi... good luck again on Thursday... let us know how it goes.
