After you had a miscarriage, did you have recurrent miscarriage before successfully getting pregnant?<br /> Yes, I got pregnant about 8 months later, using aforementioned methods, I did the same thing for this pregnancy and thankfully it only took one cycle.</p> <p>2. Did you change anything about your health with trying after a miscarriage? No, not really, though I cut down on soda. My weight is normal despite PCOS, otherwise I'd work on that.</p> <p>3. If you had a miscarriage, did you have any underlying fertility diagnoses prior or discovered after miscarriage?<br /> Discovered after.</p> <p>4. Was your OBGYN supportive and accommodating if you got pregnant after a miscarriage? If so, in what ways?<br /> We did three rounds of beta HCG testing and a 7 wk ultrasound. I wanted another one at 9 weeks and he strongly advised me against it saying i't was unnecessary, but eventually sent me to a separate place for it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794710 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 23:39:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2794710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m so sorry for your loss.</p> <p>1. My next pregnancy after miscarriage resulted in my son.</p> <p>2. Yes, I was taking diet pills at the time and while pregnant learned they could harm the baby. After I miscarried I stopped taking them altogether to increase my chances of a future healthy pregnancy &amp; baby.</p> <p>3. No underlying issues. It took us awhile longer to get pregnant again and I saw a fertility specialist for the uterus dye procedure. There was no physical reason why I would have issues.</p> <p>4. I switched doctors, but would say the obgyn group that cared for me during my pregnancy with my son focused on me having a healthy baby. </p> <p>I was told to wait a full cycle before trying again. I tried to jump right in, but needed a few more months before starting up the OPKs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794698 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 21:13:45 +0000 travellingbee 2794698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Stardust17: I was 37 when I was diagnosed. My Obgyn ordered the testing after 6 months of trying unsuccessfully. They tested my AMH and FSH. My FSH was borderline high and my AMH was very, very low, even for my age. After that I was referred to a fertility clinic who ran a few more tests to rule out anything else and then diagnosed me.<br /> ETA: yeah, I liked the acupuncture, but have no way of knowing if that is what helped in the end. My egg quality was poor which is why I had the miscarriages I assume. So in some ways it was just a matter of waiting for the right egg that was good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794695 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 21:03:29 +0000 crazydoglady 2794695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Stardust17: </p> <p>First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is absolutely heartbreaking. :crying: </p> <p>So, I am going to answer your questions and the ones you asked @travellingbee:</p> <p>Age--29 at time of losses, currently 33 and 9 months into TTC #2<br /> 1. I had a chemical pregnancy our first month TTC and then got pregnant the next month we tried but that ended in a loss at 11 weeks and required a D&amp;C. I got pregnant the next cycle with my kiddo.<br /> 2. I changed nothing about my health. I lost a little weight because I was taking better care of myself.<br /> 3. No diagnosis. We are in the middle of testing for ttc #2 but there was no diagnosis for my losses before, just bad luck.<br /> 4. My OB told me to wait 3 or 6 months or something ridiculous like that, but all my research told me that 1 month off was good enough. She did give a little bit of a hard time until she saw that we had just had a healthy ultrasound. </p> <p>As far as testing goes, you could have your FSH and AMH tested to get a better picture of your follicle quality and health. And for acupuncture, I started thus cycle for stress and LOVE it. I am so bummed that they have been out of office for a couple weeks. I really dislike needles, but it has helped to minimize stress so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794689 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:45:58 +0000 Stardust17 2794689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: thanks for your openiness. Out of curiosity, are you willing to share your age?<br /> I’m wondering about possibly having a diminished egg reserve—is there a test they do to check that?<br /> Clomid was on our list of options before I miscarried but it was b/c I started with some irregular cycles in July but then November was normal, got positive OPK and then pregnant. During the irregular cycles, I had an ultrasound and blood work and everything was normal.<br /> Do you recommend acupuncture? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794686 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:30:59 +0000 travellingbee 2794686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Stardust17: I did have two back to back miscarriages then took a short break and finally got pregnant with our second child and it stuck. I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve before the miscarriage. They didn’t change anything about my health but I did acupuncture and eventually went on Clomid. Yes everyone was very supportive and understanding of my anxiety early in pregnancy. By the time I got pregnant with my sticky pregnancy I was working with a fertility specialist rather than my regular OB/GYN . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794682 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:24:58 +0000 Stardust17 2794682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok ladies, it keeps deleting my actual post...I’m going to try and paste it to this thread and hopefully posters will see and respond.<br /> Thanks!!</p> <p>I lost our second child at 8 weeks and had a D&amp;C last week. This has been such a painful and heartbreaking journey for me.</p> <p>I’m almost 36 yrs old and have a healthy 18 mo old and want so badly to have another child.</p> <p>I “struggled” for 11 yrs with no definitive explanation as to why I wasn’t able to get pregnant but after meeting my 2nd husband, and not using protection or prevention, we got pregnant naturally 3 yrs into our relationship. Had a great pregnancy and labor.</p> <p>Now here I am wanting to try again (planning on waiting a full cycle) but I’d love to have some feedback on a few questions. I’ll warn you—I may have more questions 🙈</p> <p>1. After you had a miscarriage, did you have recurrent miscarriage before successfully getting pregnant?</p> <p>2. Did you change anything about your health with trying after a miscarriage?</p> <p>3. If you had a miscarriage, did you have any underlying fertility diagnoses prior or discovered after miscarriage?</p> <p>4. Was your OBGYN supportive and accommodating if you got pregnant after a miscarriage? If so, in what ways?</p> <p>Thank you so much ladies. I feel so lost but this site has been such a ray of hope for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794680 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:19:55 +0000 Stardust17 2794680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: great, I started my post again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794678 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:13:19 +0000 crazydoglady 2794678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Stardust17: I think it finally works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/test-trouble-with-posts#post-2794676 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:08:17 +0000 Stardust17 2794676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks!
