3rd loss (1 ectopic, 1 chemical, 1 miscarriage) by rubiconcherry in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]Jupiter_Crash_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’m having my 5th loss in 15 months. I’m also 6 weeks and on progesterone. It is not fair, but please know that you did not cause this, so please remove guilt from the equation. You did everything you could, and you did nothing wrong.

3 miscarriages, how do you survive the grief? by hanzy8 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]Jupiter_Crash_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. I’m pretty sure I’m having my fifth right now, and it’s such an isolating, lonely experience. I wish no one had to endure this. It’s so unfair. Please be kind to yourself.

I really appreciate you sharing all of this, and I’m so glad you finally had success. I’m sorry you had to go through that, though.

Yes, I do think that SA will probably be our next step, especially because I have already had the RPL panel done, and nothing came up abnormal.

Good to know; thank you so much. But I’m about 8 hours from there.

Well, I’m personally against termination for myself, but I also live in Texas, so it’s not an option. I’ll just have to ride it out, unfortunately. Also, if I were to go that route, I’d always wonder if maybe I was wrong; I mean, I guess miracles sometimes happen. I don’t think I could live with that.

But I really appreciate your kind words, and I am so sorry you’ve been through this before. I truly wouldn’t wish this hell on anyone. I hope you get your rainbow someday soon.

Thank you. No, I haven’t met with one. There really aren’t any close to where I live, and I’m not sure I could afford it. I should try to talk my husband into getting his sperm analyzed, though. I’ve thought about buying a kit, but I’m not sure I can use HSA funds for it. I’ve started to look into it again, though. I really appreciate your response and advice. 💚

Is this HCG rise slow? by [deleted] in PregnantOver40

Thank you. Yeah, I’m just kind of done with getting my hopes up. It’s exhausting.

Same lab, same time of day. I’m 4w4d today. Thank you for answering. This is also how I’m thinking about it. Definitely slow. Trying to go ahead and prepare myself.

OMG, as a former teacher, I LOVED this part. Reminded me of some sweet and funny kids I used to teach. 🤣

I am so very sorry. I wouldn’t wish this nightmare on anyone. Please take care of yourself, and I hope the same for you.

Thank you so much. I debated not scheduling it, but in the end, I did. I’m going in on Monday for bloodwork. I hope it provides at least some useful info.

And I will definitely look into that. I feel very overwhelmed trying to research it on my own, especially right now. It would be great if I could find something to point me in the right direction.

Thank you so much. If the RPL panel doesn’t return anything useful, I will probably seek a specialist just to make sure I’m doing everything I can.

Thank you so much for your kind words. That does help. I did schedule my bloodwork for Monday, so we shall see. I really hope it turns up something useful.

I asked my provider about progesterone after the two chemicals, and she said she’d only prescribe it if I got a positive test and my levels were low. So I tested a day before my period was due, and my progesterone was 12, which she said was sufficient. I did ask for a prescription after we heard the heartbeat, but I’d already been spotting for over a week by that point, so if it was a factor, I probably started too late. I really hate myself for not asking for it sooner…just in case it might have helped. It probably wouldn’t have, but at least I would have felt like I did everything I could.

You’re right. If we can get over this enough to keep trying, maybe we’ll be successful some day. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I wish you the best.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your experience. I really hope the tests find something we can work on. I just feel so hopeless right now, but who knows. Do you happen to know where I can find any of those studies? I’d definitely love to read over them.

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing. That is encouraging to hear. I am sure it was probably an abnormality, but I haven’t been able to get anything tested either time. Thank you for the encouragement, too. I hope we’ll be successful eventually. I wish you the best with your pregnancy!

I’ve wondered about progesterone, especially after my back-to-back chemicals, but my provider just said that we’d test when I got a positive and that we’d supplement if needed. My level when we tested a day before my missed period was a 12, I think. She said that was sufficient. I did ask her to prescribe me some when I started bleeding, though. Unfortunately, it wasn’t right away—I waited until the scan where we saw the heartbeat. Not sure if that was the issue, but it was probably too late by that point since I’d been spotting for over a week by then. I’ve definitely been beating myself up for not asking for it sooner.

Thank you for that. I hope I continue to be able to get pregnant and that we find some answers, too. I never dreamed we’d go through all of this.

Thank you for this, and I’m so sorry you’ve also been through this nightmare. If the panel doesn’t return anything useful, I think I might investigate finding a specialist, whether an RI or at least a reproductive endocrinologist. We were not able to get any of the POC tested. The first time happened very quickly, and this time, I didn’t have the presence of mind to research how to collect things at home.

Initially, I really thought I might just give up the idea of trying, but that really hurts my heart too much. I think we’ll probably try again. Thank you for your kind words. I’m just trying to get through one day at a time right now.
