The Middle Chapters

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!!
