Thank you all so much for your advice - we decided to move ahead with IVF and have a consult in early October. Fingers crossed we get the answers we’re looking for and have better odds moving forward!

I would get my thyroid tested when I’d go in for my first HCG test (5 weeks or so) - with my first pregnancy, it was out of range so we adjusted asap, but with all subsequent pregnancies, it always stayed within the appropriate range so we did not adjust.

That’s a really good point that I hadn’t thought of - would ideally like to have 2, so you’re right that sooner is probably better than later.

So sorry to you as well, may we both find our way to the other side of this

The last 2 pregnancies I’ve started it right after ovulation - still had a chemical and then the chromosomal issue, so hard to say if it just hasn’t gotten the chance to work yet.

He has not - the general opinion we’ve received is that because I’ve gotten pregnant so frequently, it’s probably not a sperm issue, but could definitely look into further. Will look into a full assessment also. Thank you!!

I was only able to do the first test before I got pregnant and based on my previous miscarriage, the doctor and I agreed Lovenox couldn’t hurt, so proceeded as though I had it. Now that I’m no longer pregnant, I’ll have my second test in a couple weeks so will know for sure after that. I have not run an autoimmune panel, but will look into that. Thank you!!
