I am new here, and I'm sure that there are many miscarriage blogs already. But here is my story. I got pregnant in July with my first pregnancy. At about 6 weeks, I had bleeding, but my doctor heard a heartbeat and told me everything was fine. He was also able to rule out ectopic. At my 11 week appointment, there was no longer a heartbeat. It turns out that the 6 week u/s had revealed a "focus" and an abnormal heartbeat. I was pregnant with identical twins in the same gestational ...

as we losely entering the TTC #2, I think this one is lot harder physically and easier mentally. Physically, I am turning 40 in February. I am not sure how bad my eggs are and ability to carry etc. etc. My endometriosis could be back and I may not have any symptoms (i didnt have a lot of symptoms before with stage III). Even my god send RE said "after age 40, it gets extremely difficult to conceive"....
Mentally, I think having my baby already helps. When we went thru IF before ...

well I have been pushing my DH again to TTC again. he is not sure but he agreed that we will see what happens. So I am back here
We decided we will try naturally without medical intervention this time for while. So far, not much going on. I removed my Merena on August and just kind of letting it go. I am POS addict normally and I chart my temp but I quit all that. Life is busy and just don't wan't to stress about it.
we shall seeee.....

Hello Ladies-
I am new to this site. I have been undergoing infertility treatments and my lining is currently 3.3mm. I have tried estrace and estrogen patches to thicken up the lining, but nothing works. I was on a regimen of both follistim and menopure and triggered with ovidril this morning. Has anyone had luck getting pregnant on a 3mm lining? All posts are welcome! Thanks

I went to my fertility MD to do an ultrasound after using a second round of clomid, progesterone, acupuncture, and supplements... She excitedly told me I had a great follicle forming on my left ovary~. I knew the clomid was working since I really felt the side effects at the increased dose- bloating, insomnia, moodiness... I'm so glad that these treatments are working for me. Now, just testing for LH surge, getting adequate hubby time, and praying through the knees!

Glad she emerged from the shadows but wth ? I get her apologizing but she didnt have a reason? Anyhow glad shes back and prayerfully you can get started ASAP

Me 35, DH 47 (MF), 1st IVF after 5 failed IUI. BFP then m/c at 6 weeks

I'm wondering if I can find some peace here through other people's posts on this. After our first IVF cycle, we were BFP only to find out we m/c at 6 weeks. We had transferred 2 - 4A blastocyts on day 5. My HCG's were 40, 101, 235 and that was the last one we had done before our 6 week US. I am pretty devastated to think this was happening only for it to not. We are now uncertain if we should do a fresh IVF ...

Hi Everyone!
So I have read a few articles saying to take 4,000 IU a day of extra vitamin D during pregnancy BUT also that anything over 2,000 IU can cause birth defects? Im nervous now b/c between my calcium supplements and vitamin D I take 4-5000 IU (Ive been doing this since I found out I had osteoporosis about 6 months ago) & all the studies have been done during the 2nd trimester ... I plan on asking my dr. to check my levels soon and started taking about 2000 IU to be safe...any ...

My journey began in 2008. I was a few months shy of being 31.
My fiance had returned home from a deployment overseas and a few months later we found out we were expecting. We miscarried a few days after taking a pregnancy test.
I had no idea what loss felt like before this. My heart aches everyday for my child.

I saw my primary care dr about 6mth later and told him that we have been ttc since the MC. He was great and said there is no reason to wait, I'll send you to ...
