not pregnant one year after miscarriage and Factor V
Posted: 02-26-08 12:18pm

And my wife has still not gotten pregnant.
She is getting very discouraged each month
that it doesn't happen. The worse part
was when a friend of our that just got
married not even a year ago go pregnant
and is due in May. She got so upset about
that since we would have been due in 12
months ago.
Is there anything else we can do to
possibly help?
My wife has the blood problem called
Factor V so she has been on baby aspirin
and prenatal vitamins.

Im thinking maybe go to the doctors to
check to see if she is still fertile and
same with you, if all fails in a year or
so maybe try IVF? Sorry i cant be of much
help to you but i hope all goes well mate

go to a fertility doctor, your gyn should
be able to refer you to one, if its been a
year they will do tests to see whats
wrong, good luck

Yep, alot of people we know are getting or
going to have soon...
She will be going to the doc at the end of
the month and will be asking what to do.
She is also taking her BBT each day now so
we will see how that turns out.

Welcome back! (sorry it has to be under
these circumstances) I'm not sure if you
remember me, my name is Christy, we spoke
some while you and you wife were
experiencing difficulties in the last
pregnancy.
I'm glad they were able to give her a
reason for the miscarriage. (I assume that
is how they discovered that she has factor
V) even thought I know that doesn't make
things any easier.
Baby asprin and prenatals sound like a
wonderful start.
How long has she been charting her bbt?
Does she use fertility friend?
There are a few of us that have been
charting for quite some time so if she (or
you) have any questions, please feel free
to ask us. I think she will find that it
is a wonderful tool in ttc. She will be
able to see when/if she is ovulating and
that will raise your chances of having
well timed sex.
If she has not tried them yet, I suggest
that she use ovulation prediction tests
(we refer to them as OPK's) They will be
able to tell her 24-36 hours before
ovulation and are great when paired with
bbt charting.
Good luck and please keep us updated!

Well per fertilityfriend, she is currently
8 DPO. She is telling me that she has had
a little twinge of something lower and to
the left that will be there for a bit and
then go away. That has been doing that
for the last 2 days she says. Today she
said that her lower back hurt a bit...
Now, it could just be that her back hurts
who knows LOL. This is the breakdown of
her temps. Let me know what you all think
about it:
All taken at 7am except for 2 of them
97.70 Light period
97.52 Spotting period
97.52
97.52
96.87
97.06
97.52
97.41
97.16
97.19
97.55 Taken at 9AM
97.22
97.39
97.36
97.05 Start ovulation
97.70
97.33
97.70 Taken at 10AM
97.17
97.74
97.83
97.74
97.76 4-25-08

Can you post a link to her page?
You go to "sharing" on the left hand side
of the page.
Then you go to "home page setup".
The link at the top of that page is "Your
Charting Home Page Web Address"
Just copy and paste the link that is in
that box.
I'd love to take a look at it.
Looking at it on paper, not on the chart
it looks like she actually might have
ovulated on the day of 97.17. Which would
put her at 4 dpo. So, don't be surprised
if Fertility Friend changes her date in a
few days. However, I could be wrong. It is
hard to visualize when it is just on
paper.

It's hard to tell. Fertility friend could
be right.
However, I think she is 6 dpo today. I bet
if she changed her detection method to FAM
it would agree with me.
But I could be wrong. I'll keep watching
it for the next few days. How long has she
been temping?

reflexology aiding conception

Hello,
have been reading these posts and it
brings back terrible memories. my husband
& I tried for 2 years to get preg -
doctors not much help at all! each
monthly period destroyed me.
I read an article on reflexology aiding
conception and decided to give it a go - 6
weeks later I was pregnant. Now have 2
beautiful girls.
Reflexology is non-invasive and can do no
harm so worth a go but do find a reputable
reflexologist. Do not give up hope try
everything possible - it is SO worth it.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

Well she went to the doctors on Monday for
the normal check-up. After she left there
she was bleeding and had thought that she
might have started. Well, that only
lasted for monday and come tuesday it was
just spotting till the afternoon. Since
tuesday, she has had no period and just a
little cramping here and there.
She is really confused as to what is going
on. She has never had a 1 day period.
She is thinking about taking another test
in the mroning since it will be 36 days
since her last.

Well I "hopefully" have some good news.
She has had alot of cramping and she
decided to take a test and it came back
positive. She then had me get another one
just to see... LOL and that one was also
positive.
We went to the doctors and again tested
positive. He ended up giving her
progesterone suppository and also a script
for lovenox because heprin is very hard to
get right now. He took blood to check her
hcg level and she will be getting it
checked again on Sun. We will see him
again on Mon and if all goes well she will
then be starting the shots next week.
The best thing is that she only has to do
them once a day instead of twice with
heperin.
All of this happens after they say she is
not ovulating and they wanted her to start
on clomid this cycle.

Well, according to what I have calculated
it is around Feb 1st but the doc hasn't
said anything yet. Just taking it one
step at a time I guess and wishing for the
best.

Another update.
We went to the doctor today to see what
her hcg levels were on Fri and Sun...
Basically they were 80 on friday and 160
on sunday. Good news so far but we have a
long way to go yet.
We will be going back next monday for a
ultrasound to see if we see anything
(which the doc says we should).

UPDATE!
Went to the doctors today and we saw the
sac. Everything is looking good according
to the doctor.
She has also now started her lovenox shots
today and she said that they are not bad
at all. The nice thing is that it is only
once a day.
We go back next Fri for another checkup
and to see the yolk and what will become
the spine (can't remember what its called)
Thanks again for everyones support.
