Hi, I have a 7 year old daughter from a
previouse marriage, with who I had preterm
labor and bedrest for 5 months. My new
husband and I have been trying to have a
baby for over a year, we have had 2
miscarriages so far, one at 13 weeks and
then one 7 months later at 5 weeks. These
have been devistating for all of us. I am
still trying but wonder if clomid or
whatever is right for me? I hate going to
the docters and I hate taking anything
(drugs) what I would like to know is what
this drug does to you, such as weight
gain, sickness or possible side effects to
the baby?Also is there a chance for
multiple births? I am 35 and a little
nervous about having more than one baby.
But I really want to have a baby with my
new husband and give my beautiful daughter
a little sister or brother. Any comments
or experiences would be most welcome.
Thanks tbf

I have been on clomid for over a year now.
I did notice some weight gain but not
sure that it is due to the clomid. I
have also notice that I am more emotional
and have mood swings/depression, but don't
know if it is the clomid or thought that I
have not become pg. There could be lots
of factors. The clomid alone did not
work, but I was referred to infertility
doctor and I am currently (last 4 months)
on clomid and metformin. It is working!!
Me ovulating finally!! But still have
not gotten pg. Not even with the fact
that they are washing my hubby's sperm to
make it more active and that they are
inserting it themselves (far in) which is
called iui. I am producing 3 follicals
(eggs) but none are fertilizing. I go in
the beginning of next month for another
iui. Wish me luck!!!
And I wish you luck!!! Hope this helps
somewhat.

Thanks nm your info was interesting, but
it sounds so involved! I dont know if I
could handle all of that. You must be
very brave! I do want a baby so bad but I
really have anxiety issues and I wonder if
I could do all that. Please let me know
if it works for you, I will cross my
fingers!

2 clomid doesn’t cause sickness or affect
the faetus in your age induction of
ovulation could be done by injections
which are more effective as the number of
follicles will be more , then hormonal
support should be started in the
premplantation period and continue
through the first trimester of pregnancy
.
It doesn't sound like getting pregnant is
your problem, it's keeping the pregnancy.
You should see a gynecologist or
fertility specialist so they can figure
out why you are having the miscarriages.
Sometimes it is a problem that they can
fix or work on. I'm sure you would hate
to keep getting pregnant and experiencing
the loss of a miscarriage. Maybe the
lining of your uterus isn't getting thick
enough, or your cervic is week. Both of
these problem can be worked on.
Best of luck

I'm Pregnant Again!!! Posted: 02-13-04 20:17pm
I hope the third time is really a charm!
After 2 miscarraiges in one year, I find
myself 5 weeks pregnant again, I am so
scared and hesitant to even entertain the
thought of actually having a baby! After
the positive home test I called the docter
right away and had a blood test, hcg and
progesterone level test and an ultrasound.
My uterus lining is very thick and my
tests came back with good results! One
week later I had another test (same ones)
and my numbers had gone from 500 to 3000
they say this is good. Feb 25th I go in
to have an ultrasound and to hopefully see
a heartbeat! I am so anxious, if there is
nothing in there I dont know what I will
do, I can not go thru this again. Please
pray for me. Thanks to all for replying
to my letters, it really means alot to me
to have support from you all!

You need to have your ob check your
thyroid hormone levels. I recently found
out that this is my problem. It can cause
early miscarraiges such as yours and is
very treatable. Even if your tests come
out normal, the next time you get pregnant
have your doctor test your female hormone
levels, a low level of several hormones
can cause repeate miscarraiges. Good
luck.
