I just made an appt for April 4th to see a different reproductive endocrinologist. The hospital I go to recommended her and when I called and talked with her staff they seemed very nice. I stressed to them over and over, I'm NOT a fertility patient, that I am a "habitual aborter" (lovely diagnoses, huh?!) and that I want to be treated for miscarriages NOT fertility. They said that the dr has several women who she treats who have had repeated miscarriages as well.
Not really sure what I'm expecting as I don't think there is really any other testing they can do. I guess I'm just looking for a fresh set of eyes to review everything and give an opinion. I really don't want to do all the fertility drugs again. I know that I can get pregnant, given some time, so I don't want to do artificial insemination or anything like that either.
I still don't feel like the RE I was seeing before was really addressing the miscarriage problem. She just kept throwing hormones at me and not really treating anything. Since leaving her care, I've been diagnosed with Urea plasma (a bacteria in the cervix) Rheumatoid arthritis, fibro and chlamydia pneumonia. These are some pretty big things that I feel she failed to diagnose.
I'm not really ready to start trying again, maybe in a couple more months but I want to see what this dr has to say and if there is any sort of "treatment" that I should start before trying. I have been very sad the last couple of days and really missing my babies. I guess I feel that I need to be doing something to move forward. If this dr says there isn't anything she can do and I just have to take my chances, well, then, that will be something to think about. Not sure what I would do in that case but I guess I'm just trying to get all the information so I can make some sort of decision.
Also not sure what the point of this post is  I guess it just helps me to type things out sometimes! I still read the cards that everyone sent me when I'm sad and it helps to know that so many people care!
