Hi,
Really just looking for reassurance or anyone who may have been in a similar boat.
We lost our little girl at 16 weeks pregnant in October 2023. It took a huge amount out of us. We did not try for months. Then we tried on and off for months and nothing was happening.
In March last year, I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma. I was and still am being medicated. The levels of prolactin then became too low, when I was checked in September, my dose was reduced and it then stabilised.
I was then diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I was and still am being treated for that. By Christmas my levels in that had stabilised.
We have now been trying the last 2 months, since everything stabilised. But my luteal phase has been short, spotting day 8/9, period day 12/13. My progesterone came in slightly below normal.
Only this month has my progesterone balanced. Spotting on day 12/13 only and period day 13/14, so ideal really. I know that one of the conditions above alone could cause infertility, not to mind three of them. But in my head we are trying for two years, even though realistically I know, I am only trying one month, with it all balanced. First time round, I was pregnant in 4 months, so this makes this all the harder.
I am 37 and I was only 34 when this journey started. I wish we started trying earlier, I really had no idea what lay ahead. We want 2-3 children and I am afraid I am running out of time.
Both my husband and I have had tests and all is well fertility wise. I have been offered a trigger injection along with natural conception and a hycosy procedure, if nothing happens in the coming months. I have put it off, as I do not know how I will cope if it does not work. I also want to give trying naturally a chance, now that everything is balanced.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and had their rainbow baby, when their hormones were balanced?
Thanks for reading.
