Blood Draw
I'm getting my progesterone (and I think HCG levels) checked tomorrow to make sure all is good. I'm feeling very confident that things are fine but my doctor wants to do this anyway since I did take Clomid twice before getting pregnant (Clomid raises your risks of miscarriage).
I'm not allowed to post the website on the forum but here is a quote from one website (I've heard the same information on many medical boards and from doctors). Thin uterine lining means the embryo cannot implant deeply enough:
There have recently been some reports of paradoxical responses to Clomid that cause the uterine lining to be thinned. This can be measured by ultrasound in the second half of your cycle. I've read reports that baby aspirin treatment may improve the thickness of thin uterine linings. Clomid can indirectly raise your risk of miscarriage because it causes you to ovulate more eggs than you normally would, possibly including imperfect eggs that your body might normally censor. Since there is a greater likelihood of ovulating eggs that are defective (along with the healthy ones) there is a greater risk of miscarrying. The imperfect eggs are what might cause the pregnancy loss.
So sorry to hear about your losses and I hope the next time you get pregnant that the little ones sticks! Good luck!

Im on Clomid and i would like you to tell me where the web site is that says ( that is raises the risk for m/c ) I have been pregnant 2 times on Clomid and I did m/c but it was due to my pregestrone level not going up not the Clomids fault.......i was 50 mg for 3 months it worked but Fertility Doctor went up on my dose to 100mg to make my chances great at getting pregnant....and it worked but like i said i m/c....June 2nd at 5.5 weeks and then again July 24th at 6 weeks and yes both was in 2008.....Thanks
Thanks! I think it'll all be good too. Just her standard procedure with new preggies!!! Which I'm actually grateful for. It'll ease my mind and I can get back to planning baby stuff!
