Hi there, I am very confused about what to do after three miscarriages, all in first trimester. I am 39 years old. After two miscarriages, I went to an RE. He did every blood test even the ink dye on the uterus, everything normal. I have regular periods (28 days), ovulate on my own, and we get pregnant right away (first or second try). He decided to put me on progesterone suppositories and baby aspirin (along with pre-natal vitamins, 2mg folic acid in addition to vitamins and 50mg of thyroid meds - not to prevent miscarriage, but due to some blood work results).
I am miscarrying for the third time right now. Probably a blighted ovum. The first two were not blighted ovum, we don't know the cause really. Didn't test the tissue from the first miscarriage because my OBGYN said it was probably a fluke. Second miscarriage, I started bleeding right when my period was due.
Since I ovulate on my own, that tells me I do not need to do HCG shots or clomid... or am I wrong about that? What would shots or clomid (or similar medicine) accomplish? How about IUI? I thought those things were for women who can't get pregnant. We can. We just can't keep it.
This last pregnancy I had my LH surge on day 11. Is that early? Would medicine to "time out" the ovulation be better so the eggs have more time to mature before release??
Thanks for any thoughts on this. I really appreciate it.
