one thing I hope they bring up if you haven't done it already- have genetic testing done! that was the end of the line for me- thats when I found out why I was miscarrying... and once I knew I had to make an educated decision.. in our case that was that I didn't want a child badly enough of MY own to go through what was needed (it was half my bad genetics mixed with his that gave us the 10% chance of a live baby!)

I admire your courage! You do whatever you need to do whenever you feel ready to do it! I agree, another opinion...or even a third, certainly is worth the time for something so important to you.
Keep us updated. Glad you're cards continue to bring you comfort and remind you that you are not alone. We all care so much!

I've lost count as to how many dr's I've seen but I guess one more can't hurt! Maybe they will have the answers I'm looking for.

Both will and I had a full genetic work-up last Spring. No answers there. They also know that 4 or the 5 babies (one was not tested) were chromosomally normal. I really think its related to my immune system, maybe the placquenil I'm on will help.

I know you fully understand Angela, I know how hard due dates are. I'm hoping they have you figured out and you'll be pregnant again in no time! Lets just hope my new dr can come up with some ideas for me.

Yeah, I wonder if maybe I should just forget the whole baby thing and start dealing with the fact that I won't have one. But then I think how bad I want one but I know the pain of losing one (ok, 5) so maybe its best not to try at all??? I know thats the easy way out but how many times should I have to go through this?? ARGHHHHHH!!!!!
I figure I'll type out a general outline of my "fertility" history and just hand it to her with copies of the relevant stuff from my volumes of files! That way, we can just play 20 questions and maybe I won't have a total breakdown in her office.  
Thanks for the support, I know I can always count on you for a laugh!

Good for you! Even if you're not ready to start trying again, it won't hurt to see this new RE.
I always wonder what responsibilities the different doctors have. Should a RE really be the one to discover you have RA or fibro or whatever? It is easy for me to get angry because I saw a zillion doctors and no one even thought about my having endometriosis (which I do, in spades) -- but none of those doctors was a gynecologist. So I'm not sure if I really have the right to be angry.
(And am I the only one whose GI did a breast exam?)
It's tough and frustrating when the doctors don't seem to be helping much. I really hope that you eventually find some kind of peace.
