Default Hopefully 3rd times a charm!!!

So I am back hoping for "3rd times a charm"! We had to early miscarriages one in November and one in April...I have since went to a fertility specialist and have been undergoing MULTIPLE tests...they took something like 31 tubes of blood last monday...and some more every few days since then...i had an HSG test last thursday all is clear no scar tissue or blockages...had a Hysterosonogram yesterday and all was well on that no fibroids and no endometriosis...did have 19 follicles on left ovary and 9 on right...he said that was consistant with PCOS and OFFICIALLY diagnosed me. Also had a GlucoHemoglobin test come back with a 6.3 which was too high wants it between 3.0-6.0..redid the test yesterday it was a 6.1 and had t 2 hour Glucose test...it came back as EXCELLENT??? so why then is my A1C test slightly high...anyway he is clearing me to try again this next month...and he is referring me to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist because of the borderline A1C...i still havent gotten a specific on why i miscarried the first 2 times....hopefully this time it will work!

Are you on metformin? Women with PCOS have a high MC rate, but metformin lowers the risk.

Metformin also regulates your a1c and insulin, and it seems that yours are coming down and that's a great sign! Mine was 6.9 almost a month ago....Crap! My RE informed me that either one of these can cause infertility and m/c, and can also cause gestational diabetes. And also, a1c's vary by clinic. My doctor says he prefers to see anything under 6.5, because 7 and above is in the diabetic range. Oh, before I forget, your a1c measures your blood sugars in the last 2-3 months. A molecule binds to your blood, and this is how they are able to tell how you've been regulating your blood sugars in the past few months. So, you might not have IR or diabetes now, but you could've have earlier in the year.

Congratulations on the weight loss! I was told it played a huge factor in your results as well. Have you had any immune or testosterone testing done?
