I came to this forum in Dec 08 when I found out I had a twin loss and everyone was so supportive. They weren't BOs because we were being given early u/s and we saw a hb in one and the yolk sac in the other but they just stopped developing and by 12 wks appeared to be BOs. I then had a chemical in July 09 and was able to be tested for recurrent miscarriage. It was discovered that I have Lupus anticoagulant and so was put on baby aspirin daily for life and was told that if I got pg again that I would take Lovenox shot once daily. Well I got pg again at the end of October and once I found out in November went immediately on the Lovenox and I am 25 weeks today! I am 40 and we had tried for years and I still can't believe it. All the tests have come back perfect (1st and 2nd trimester genetic screenings).
I can so sympathize with what every one of you that are dealing with BOs and chemicals are going through and I just wanted to come back and try to give some hope that it can happen and you can get and stay pg after going through those terrible times. I also wanted to thank all the supportive people on this board who listened to me when I was in the middle of dealing with my losses and gave me some hope. I also wanted to encourage all of you that have had a loss to ask for the immune testing as you may have something so simple to fix that will help you achieve your dream of having a baby.

We could not get pg on our own for years due to Male Factor but once we started IUI were able to get pg. That was when the problem became staying pg. Luckily I was diagnosed with something that can be fixed. Of course the dr says that there is still the chance that my other losses were from chromosomal abnormalities but with the Lovenox this time and no complications he is leaning more toward clotting being the culprit. Fortunately my insurance covers the Lovenox with only a $25 copay for a month supply or else I would be doing the twice daily Heparin. A shot or two a day is a small price to pay for a healthy baby!
Lauren I will be praying for you that this IVF works and that the Lovenox does make the difference for you as well. You have been through so many more losses than me as for years I just had the negative pg test (which is also hard to deal with but in a different way). I am going to keep checking the board hoping to see good news from you Lauren!

Thanks Donna for the encouragement! I was diagnosed with a BO at 8 weeks and then I got pregnant and had a Chemical Pregnancy in Jan....then I was pregnant again (wasn't even trying) and had the mc in February... I have been tested for recurrent mcs and everything came back normal. Only thing was my progesterone was a little low.
I do worry that I will NEVER be a mom to a bio child....but these MCs and BO have really changed me....I have turned my life over to God.....and I look at things in a different way. Maybe this is what God wanted......wanted me to change my life....and it took this to change it... I don't know....but it God's time...not my decision.......
I love to hear that you are having a baby..and it gives me hope and faith....thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!!!
