Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

Back in the Game

Well our RE found nothing at all. I was hoping for something, but from a medical perspective, this is technically good news. It means that in theory, the chances of another miscarriage are only about 70% - pretty much the same as anyone else.

I have a whole litany of concerns about immunological issues - but no one in the DC area specializes in reproductive immunology and the science is fairly new and a little bit controversial among many REs.

So we are going to go with my doctor's plan of trying again and adding in progesterone. I will be insanely stressed and ridiculously guarded. I don't know how to approach another pregnancy.

But my husband is on board that if there is another loss, and a D&C shows no genetic abnormalities, that we will go to NY for a reproductive immunology consult.

It's a HUGE gamble, but I suppose that's always the case. Fingers, toes, and everything else crossed that someway, somehow, our luck will change and this next one will be it.
