The Middle Chapters

Life is justing ticking. We're doing things; small things that aren't exciting and don't make good stories. But life is good. I'm not doing anything on the pregnancy front this month. With D sick for the last 2 weeks and traveling to the east coast for the holidays, it just seemed like too much this month. Sleep has gotten a bit worse again - Bacon has had a runny, stuffy nose for the past 3 weeks which could be the cause. She's eating like crazy and currently not going down for her afternoon nap. I guess I should go up and get her.

Life just seems good right now. I am counting my blessings.

Hi commentor - I didn't get an email address for you so here's the long and short answer to your question. I was only on progesterone (plus Chinese herbs and accupuncture) for the successful pregnancy. I'd tried Clomid - which didn't seem to work for me - really thinned my lining. I think I did one Clomid cycle, and two or three Femara cycles (one of which resulted in a very short pregnancy). After the 4th miscarriage, my RE's plan was to try IVF with PGD. But the recurrent miscarriage specialist (there's at least one of these in the US) said that there was no medical proof that that would help so, I stopped "preparing" for IVF shortly after starting birth control pills. So, in fact, I'd been on progesterone for several cycles, had something like 6 days of the pill, plus Chinese herbs and accupuncture when the successful pregnancy happened. What, if any of this helped the pregnancy work? Unfortunately, because my miscarriages were "unexplained," I have no idea. I've restarted Progesterone and accupuncture - my favorites of the bunch and the ones that I'm guessing were most likely the biggest help.

Great luck!!

It's surprising how disappointed I am not to be pregnant this month. We have Bacon. I've never really had that much trouble getting pregnant before. Plus all the bonuses of not having to worry about morning sickness during our Christmas trip back east. Still . . .

Bacon's got a major cold. I spoke to the pharmacist. Got her medicine. Then left it at the drug store. It's just one of those days.
