Sherri,
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you get some answers on the immunilogical things.
Treefrog: sorry af has turned up.
afm: I have my hysteroscopy tomorrow.
Hi Sherri,
Sorry to hear about your M/C. You guys must be getting really tired, and I'm glad you have an appointment to get some more advice. I've heard that thyroid issues have a great effect on fertility - so you're right, perhaps a bit better balance in that department will make all the difference. At least you still conceive like nobody's business!
Actually - just noticed that today's the 13th - so I hope you appointment went well.
Best wishes,
~Wendy
AF is here (bleah)! Right on time as usual. I'll be back on 2WW train on April 20 or so.
SSBD to All!

Turns out this wasn't the month for us. Waiting to miscarry now. Devastated. Feel so empty inside. I think after so many chemical pregnancies (7), we have to start looking at the immunological causes. (I have lupus and autoimmune thyroid disease.) Perhaps when those are better treated, we'll have a better outcome. Seeing my drs on Tuesday 4/13, so hopefully we'll have a plan of how to proceed so we can try again son. Thanks so much for all of your support! It helps immensely!
Thank you Sherri for sharing with us your FSH, I know that one was a tough one. Gives me hope so much. I will keep you in my prayers! I am going to try and find both the maca and Vitex as soon as I get home from my vacation.
You guys are all just the best! I knew that the only place I could find people who truly understand where I'm at is here! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Will post the beta results tomorrow! I'm so nervous but excited! Getting a second beta on Friday so will know whether the levels are doubling!
Definitely hang in there, Pum! I've had to wait a month. I've been told I was post-menopausal. As a matter of fact, I can say this only now, this month's FSH was 57! But we still conceived! I am at the 4 week mark as of Thursday and feeling well so far! So don't take no for an answer from anyone!
Re: the supplements, Vitex I bought at a local vitamin store as a liquid that you mix a few drops (1-2 ml) with water and drink twice a day. Doesn't taste great but it's not terrible. It might come in capsule form, too. Not sure. The maca root, I bought on the internet from a company called Natural Health International or something like that. I bought their "Feminessence MacaHarmony". With shipping it was close to $40.00. But there are several companies that sell it on the net. Maybe other people have recommendations, too. I like this brand because it's not raw maca so I don't get diarrhea like I did with the raw maca capsules. :)
Thanks again, everyone, so much for your support! This is a very happy but nerve-wracking time for me! I hope to be posting soon that I got a true BFP and that it's a viable pregnancy! I feel in my heart like it is, but have to wait and see if the lab tests (beta/progesterone) concur! SSBD to all you awesome ladies!!!
