AF definitely showed up last night I had spotting pretty much all day so I am counting that as cd 1 and she came full force at night. So tomorrow is cd 3 and I will be taking the test first thing in the am. I am crossing my fingers that it my FSH levels are good. I have been really worried that there is something wrong with my eggies and that is why I have miscarried 3 times. Especially since the doctor did several blood tests before DD was born and everything came back normal. I also had an HSG that showed no problems with my uterus.

The doctor should also be back in the office tomorrow (he was on vacation last week) and his office is supposed to call me to tell me if they are going to run tests and which ones. (I am crossing my fingers that the tests are covered by insurance and if not that they are cheap!!!) Though I am not that excited about the tests because when I spoke to the doctor last, he said they would probably just run tests that they already ran. He keeps telling me that this miscarriage is just more bad luck. But I can't help but wonder if that is true. I mean I have been pregnant 4 times in my life and have only 1 baby. I guess I feel like I should complain because I feel very fortunate to have 1 child..... but I feel like there must be something that is causing me to have had 3 miscarriages. I know I haven't had all 3 miscarriages in a row... but I just don't think my record is very good!

Anyway, wish me luck with the test tomorrow. I know it only looks at one very small component of fertility... but it will make me feel a little better if the "quality and quantity" of my eggies isn't awful!!

I am so sorry AF showed, FSH.. only shows if you are ovulating.. not the quality of your eggs. I hope it shows that you are O'ing. Good Luck.. HUGS

My dr told me you can still have adequate number of eggs, shown on the FSH if the numbers come back high... poor quality.. But he said thier is a test with clomid that gives a bigger picture. If you test comes back good GREAT!.. If not try to read to much into it.. and see if they can do the test with Clomid.

And even if you numbers come back Great.... the older you are the more "sticky" they become.. getting the extra chromosomes. Just remember this is a store bought test.. GOOD LUCK

I tood that test last month and got a good result. I know it does not answer everything, and you should follow up with a blood test either way the result gos. I am planning on seeing an RE next month/cycle and having the official test done. It did make me feel better though for the time being to see a good result. Good luck to you sweetie.

Thanks Kary for the info!! I am not putting much credit into it... doing it more for fun than anything else.

I will have to ask about the Clomid test. ARGhhhh... I just don't know what to do next with the doc!! I don't know if he will do much because I had 2 m/c, then a baby, then a 3rd m/c. I just wish I new what was going on. Even if my eggies are not very good, I would like to know so I can be aware that it might take longer or take a few more times to get a good egg. Instead of thinking that this m/c was more bad luck so next time it shouldn't happen!

Don't know if that makes sense! Thanks for the info though!
