Miscarriages

So, I got pregnant without medication, but later miscarried.  I didn’t go back to the infertitilty specialist because I decided to go back to school to work on my masters degree.  We weren’t going to activily try to get pregnant, but decided not to try to prevent it either. 

I got pregnant again.  But, again I miscarried.

I decided it was time to go back to the infertiltiy specialist after the 2nd miscarriage.  I wasn’t ready to go through the shots again so we decided to try clomid again for a few rounds.  Again- the eggs would mature but I would never ovulate.  So, once the eggs were mature I would go in and have an HCG shot so that I would ovulate. 

There had also been tests done due to my miscarriages that determined my thyroid levels were out of wack and I didn’t have enough progesterone to carry a pregnancy.  So, I had to take medication for my thyroid and my progesterone which were very carefully monitored.

I believe it was the 3rd round of Clomid and I got pregnant. 

This entire process was several years and was far from easy.  But today, because of that infertility specialist- I have a 2 year old happy and healthy little girl.  She is my dream come true.
