After I got back from vacation (which was awesome) my doc got in touch with me about my blood work. My 7 DPO blood draw was 5.6 which is super low. At first she called to clarify with my last AF was to make sure i didn't get drawn at the wrong time... but no my blood work just sucks. She said she wasn't sure what she wanted to do yet, but was pretty sure she was going to put me on progesterone. So now i'm waiting for her to call again.... I hate this. I'm honestly tired of trying.

don't give up hope yet! I think the fact that you were already preggo once before is a very good sign! Tons of women m/c on their first pregnancy. Even if your doc finds that there is something going on there are many options for treatment! Cheer up!

Please do not give up! Hear out your DR and see what she suggests. Try that, I am sure once you get some assistance from her, you will get your sticky bean BFP soon enough!!!!

This process can be so frustrating. I was all tears today! Please keep your head up and try to feel better. my heart goes out to you b/c I know how you feel. But it comes and goes in cycles and soon you will be feeling more positive. Hopefully the progesterone will be a quick fix!

For what is worth I think starting the progesterone might be just what you need. Before I had Jeremy I had three losses. They ran a ton of tests on me and never really figured out what was wrong but they decided to have me take progesterone supplements. I truly believe that is why I have been able to have all my kids. I have taken prometrium with all of my pregnancies.

I think starting the supplements might be a good plan for you.

((HUGS)))

I'm sorry you got stinky news Alice.

I agree with Patty... the progesterone may be exactly what you need to get you sorted. I know how frustrating and tiresome it can be.

Try to keep your chin up sweetie. I know it's tough. Know that we all love you and are here for you in any way you need.

Aww Alice I know it gets frustrating sometimes, but maybe the progesterone is that one little thing that will make a big difference. Give it a shot and try not to lose hope, it will happen!

Don't give up! I was sick of trying too, although I was only TTC 11 months it still seemed like forever.

I'm sorry you had bad news about your blood test results. But the good news is that at least you know exactly what is going on with your body and your dr can make a plan to deal with it. So you're not in the dark anymore. Try to stay positive...it's got to be so frustrating but I'm sure this will help!
