I've had two as well, though we are not quite sure why. I know that my thyroid numbers were normal, but I don't know what they were. I got my sticky pregnancy after an HSG to clear our my system, so to speak. I also needed progesterone support and took a baby aspirin a day, since there is some history of clotting disorders in my family. The combination of all of those things allowed me to carry to term.</p> <p>Hugs, lady. RPL is so difficult to deal with. I hope that you get your sticky pregnancy very soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1704089 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 22:37:15 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1704089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: Sorry for the long reply! :happy: It sounds like you're in good hands! Keep up posted... :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702502 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:20:23 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1702502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: Not at all! This forum has been such a help for me, I gladly "pass on" any info I can. </p> <p>The cause of my losses was autoimmune. Unfortunately, a lot of doctors don't believe that autoimmune can be a cause, so they don't test for it. Once we found a few issues, I was put on Lovenox (a blood thinner) after ovulation and got pregnant right away (and it stuck).</p> <p>Also, just a Hellobee tip, use the REPLY link from the top right of someone's comment to alert them that you replied to them.

Yeah these were CD3 lab tests. They didn't say that I needed to have a Day 21 progesterone level drawn. I am currently seeing a specialist. I quickly asked for referral from my ob/gyn after my second miscarriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702407 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:56:00 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1702407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for your loss... :heart: I imagine these were Day#3 labs, which means you will probably have a Day#21 progesterone level drawn in a couple of weeks (low progesterone could possibly lead to recurrent losses). Depending on when (how many weeks) your losses occurred, there are lots of different possible causes and the testing (blood testing and imaging) can be quite extensive. If these are your only two pregnancies OR if you've previously carried a pregnancy to term, it's possible that there's nothing "wrong" (an estimated 1 in 5 confirmed pregnancies ends in m/c) and you will be successful next time! Hope this helps. Wishing you the best of luck! :goodluck: Also, if you're doing your testing through your OB/Gyn and feel that you need to be more aggressive, you could consider seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist/RE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702399 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:51:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1702399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: </p> <p>This is the list of tests that were run for my RPL (2 losses).</p> <p>&lt;img src="http://attachments.hellobee.com/1506/13/mx8scy.600x108.image.jpg"&gt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702388 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:47:42 +0000 Eko 1702388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @shutterbug and @mrs.someone. @mrs.someone mind me asking what the cause of your RPL was? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702384 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:46:52 +0000 ShootingStar 1702384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like this site a lot for interpreting blood work levels - <a href="http://www.fertilityplus.com/faq/hormonelevels.html#female" rel="nofollow">http://www.fertilityplus.com/faq/hormonelevels.html#female</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702288 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:17:49 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1702288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry about your m/cs :( I also don't know too much about these blood tests, but generally they aren't the ones that will give you a cause for losses. But, its usually where IF testing gets started. Let me know if you want any ideas on things to test for RPL, I had 2 as well and was finally able to figure out a cause and am now 31w pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702156 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 08:22:23 +0000 Shutterbug 1702156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very sorry about your m/c's. I don't know anything about the beta serum number, but the rest of those numbers are excellent! FSH and LH are supposed to be roughly 1:1 ratio (which yours are), and an FSH under 10 is normal, so 2.68 is even better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-bloodwork-resultsthoughts#post-1702148 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 08:17:41 +0000 Eko 1702148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently had a second miscarriage and am now doing a bunch of testing to figure out what is going on. I just took the bloodwork that is timed with my menstrual cycle and have no idea how to interpret the results at all. I don't have my next dr. appt. to go over the results until mid-July and would like to get an idea of what could be normal or not. These are the three tests I took and the results:</p> <p>- Estradiol 17 Beta Serum: 36<br /> - Luteinizing Hormone: 2.06<br /> - FSH: 2.68</p> <p>I already googled this stuff and maybe have an idea, but would like to get an opinion from some ladies that have possibly had this bloodwork before. </p> <p>Thanks!! :) </p>
