Hi, I’m not sure what to do as I’ve hit a wall and I’m hoping someone has advice or an anecdote about what to do next.
we’ve been trying to have a second child for two year now. I know I am very lucky to have one child (5yo) already but I always wanted a big family and I’ve had three early miscarriages, each time thinking it was the right time.
Ive been to the gp, had blood tests and scans that found my iron levels were a bit low and cholesterol a bit high. The scan initially showed fluid in the tube and a thickened endometrium (I have long, heavy, clotty periods) but an MRI showed no clinical significance to stop pregnancy. And no scar issues from previous c section.
so my doctor said to just keep trying, take some iron pills and I should get there as there’s nothing wrong. Or my option is to do karyotyping and on to IVF, but that would be a huge expense for us and not something I’d yet considered. I’m 37 and miscarried once at 35 and twice at 36, so I know time is against me. I just don’t know what to do and the doctor has nothing else to say to me.
if you’ve been in my situation, what would you do? I really thought we were getting to the bottom of something with the MRI so to be told everything’s fine and there’s no reason why I don’t already have a baby is just so hard. I’m driving myself crazy Googling lead poisoning, aspirin, stress etc. any advice would be so welcome, thanks
