Thanks! I’ve attempted to post a rather lengthy post twice and it never shows. Going to attempt again...thank you!

@Stardust17: I think it finally works!

@crazydoglady: great, I started my post again!

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.
Thanks!!I lost our second child at 8 weeks and had a D&C last week. This has been such a painful and heartbreaking journey for me.
I’m almost 36 yrs old and have a healthy 18 mo old and want so badly to have another child.
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.
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
1. After you had a miscarriage, did you have recurrent miscarriage before successfully getting pregnant?
2. Did you change anything about your health with trying after a miscarriage?
3. If you had a miscarriage, did you have any underlying fertility diagnoses prior or discovered after miscarriage?
4. Was your OBGYN supportive and accommodating if you got pregnant after a miscarriage? If so, in what ways?
Thank you so much ladies. I feel so lost but this site has been such a ray of hope for me!

@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 .

@travellingbee: thanks for your openiness. Out of curiosity, are you willing to share your age?
I’m wondering about possibly having a diminished egg reserve—is there a test they do to check that?
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.
Do you recommend acupuncture? -
@Stardust17:
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is absolutely heartbreaking.
So, I am going to answer your questions and the ones you asked @travellingbee:
Age--29 at time of losses, currently 33 and 9 months into TTC #2
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&C. I got pregnant the next cycle with my kiddo.
2. I changed nothing about my health. I lost a little weight because I was taking better care of myself.
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.
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.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.

@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.
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. -
I’m so sorry for your loss.
1. My next pregnancy after miscarriage resulted in my son.
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 & baby.
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.
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.
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.

Background: started TTC age 26, lost our first, diagnosed with PCOS and low morphology for DH, got pregnant via fertility tracking+clomid+metformin+progesterone, , had LO1 at age 27 and now 32 wks pregnant at age 29.
1. After you had a miscarriage, did you have recurrent miscarriage before successfully getting pregnant?
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.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.
3. If you had a miscarriage, did you have any underlying fertility diagnoses prior or discovered after miscarriage?
Discovered after.4. Was your OBGYN supportive and accommodating if you got pregnant after a miscarriage? If so, in what ways?
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
