Half way through RPL testing... tempted to try again soon

Hi all. Some of you know me and that DH and I are undergoing RPL testing. Well half the blood testing is complete and everything normal. Big thing we were waiting for was Chromosome. Huge burden lifted there. We had a scare with DH's sample because it was REtested for some reason, but final results were normal for both of us. Hopefully next week we will have the other results in from various panels, all inclusive if you have read my other posts. I went nuts and researched anything even related to m/c and had them test me for it.

I finally had a phone consult with a real RE from Seattle (closest to where I am in middle of nowhere Alaska). She recommended uterine evaluation if all the other tests come back normal too. HSG is first on the list. But first I need AF to come and its CD50 and no sign... I guess I will have to induce her with provera or prometrium. She said no Clomid on the HSG cycle, which bummed be because I really want to move fwd.

Anyways, my point is this... now that we know the big hurdle of genetics is behind us, and hopefully anything else that we may find is somewhat treatable, we kinda sorta possibly are getting our hopes up that we may be able to try again... like SOON. I want to, well because I am hardheaded and Ill be darned if anyone is going to tell me I CANT have children. But then, I dont want to loose another child. So, Im torn.

Anyone else have this maybe I should, maybe I shouldnt dilemma? Im so frustrated with PCOS and now m/c that I want to beat this thing.... BAD! Like hit it with a stick then knock it out with a metal crowbar and maybe put some buckshots in it too just incase it decides to bite me in my butt again! And I guess this is a late night vent because I finally got out of bed after two hours of tossing and turning, well DH kinda threw me out for a bit so he could sleep

Any vents back will be welcomed!

Hi Misty,

I've been through the "should I try or wait" dilemma too, back in March and April. In March, we "tried" on Metformin alone but didn't get PG. My hysteroscopy was in early April and then our bloodwork results came back in mid-April. We "didn't prevent" in April on Metformin only and got BFP.

In retrospect, had we conceived in March, we would have lost it again, because we wouldn't have known about the antiphospholipid antibodies. But I am glad that we were able to get the hysteroscopy (uterine evaluation) done, because it provided more answers. I think I'd wait for that to happen - you could induce AF and schedule the hysteroscopy or HSG for the beginning of THAT cycle...)

It's a tough call. The feeling of time passing us by is hard to fight.
