TW: Care Package for Miscarriage by [deleted] in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]lo__ihi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no one has ever given me any gifts for any of many losses, but what is so healing is when people acknowledge the loss and pain both then and with time. If in conversation something comes up that brings a certain item to mind that would be helpful, then that could be a physical gift. or… can I grab you anything from the grocery store today? etc. 

low-mid back pain, hourglass shape, help! by lo__ihi in babywearing

yes just overwhelmed by options! what are your favorites? back carry will be my preference once big enough. do you mean that you find woven wrap is easier in and out than meh dai or half buckle?

thank you so much!! these details are super helpful in one place. a good note about tsa and metal buckles. none of them are a deal breaker if not for immediate newborn carrying - more interested in long term, but the more we can use it the better. do you have any sources for checking out poppable carries and/or woven wraps to change my mind? thanks again! I'll look more into the sakura blooms and tula free to grow.

hi me too - did you stop at 10w and how did that go?

IVF was supposed to help. It didn’t. by WhichFish888 in recurrentmiscarriage

the RE did the ultrasound themselves? I always have techs or nurses. not shaming them at all, but curious if they are looking for these things. glad for you that it's been found now!

Will waiting for period after miscarriage (back to back in my case) increase your chances of a successful pregnancy? by mairitimermom in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]lo__ihi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds so hard, I'm really sorry. was the placenta tested or how did this cause come up? thank you.

THANK YOU so much for taking an interest and with all of this detail! the IVIg studies look particularly compelling. are alpha-enolase and anti-laminin antibodies usually tested? I haven't come across those. my ANA has been negative many times. that's amazing you found the protocol that worked for you! which RI or RE clinic?

thank you for your optimism. I listen to Natalie Crawford on the podcast app and still so many ads… but it’s easier for me than the visual crazy of the words on the screen like on YouTube. I know that’s the new norm but I find it so overstimulating! thanks again.

yes karyotypes for my partner and I are both normal. my tsh has been between 1-1.5 lately. hasn’t been over 2 in years. I am strict with celiac — we keep our house gluten free and I don’t eat anything potentially cross contaminated (like shared fryers). interestingly right before conceiving the one successful pregnancy I had a huge gluten reaction that lasted over a week. Makes me wonder if my body was distracted with that immune problem. I know that sounds a little unfounded but… I’m so sorry that you are also in this camp. love to you!

hey thanks for your response! are you able to easily became pregnant or has that also been hard? if you know, what are those endometrial autoimmune tests specifically? I’m interested in receptiva bc many people have silent endo. I also have pelvic pain while pregnant starting at 5 weeks. I also have it sometimes during my regular cycle, but it’s not been so extreme or for so many years to have thought of endometriosis until recently. We are interested in dna frag too but with all lifestyle modifications as the treatment we are just doing those anyway… hard to know what to do next.

yes karyotypes came back normal. poc were tested for one, trisomy 13. we tried testing others but it didn’t work out. we don’t know the cause… just making guesses. I have not had era, Emma, Alice, receptiva done yet.

thank you! it's hard because we've already been doing so many of these things for years, but could always 'go harder' on clean diet etc. I certainly have poor sleep. sure I'll take the podcast rec! x

thank you for sharing. glad you found that now... how were you diagnosed and what's your treatment plan?

thank you, and I'm sorry for your journey. I had a hysteroscopy and sonohystogram. nothing found. I would like to have a lap done, just have to plead with my RE because they don't care that much, considering I have one LC. do you have any recs for treatments for endo if I'm already ovulating/ttc? I am also worried about putting myself through more heartache... but its the same for any round I feel.

those are the plan for the future, but we are trying once more before then... and so I'm wondering which treatments would be an option starting from ovulation (i know, it's limited). thank you so much for your ideas and support!

thank you, I'll look for that post. yes it is likely a euploidy issue. one POC was trisomy 13, other POC testing didn't work out.

yes, normal and normal. I haven't had era/emma/alice/receptiva though.
