New here

I saw the post about outsiders popping in and posting so I figured I would just introduce myself instead of just lurk. My name is Dee. I have been off BCP for a year and a half. And no it is not bad timing so bear with me please I am not sure but I think I belong here.

I have 3 types of genetic throbophilia (clotting disorder), 2 types of aquired throbophilia (autoimmune) and PCOS. I am on Metformin, baby asprin, Foltx and prenatal. If I manage to get preggo then I have to start Lovenox injections and Progesterone at BFP. And even then I am at a risk for early and late term losses due to health issues. If I am monitored closely and take all my meds then the doctors are optimistic.

I have always taken care of everyones children and now that it is time to have my own the world has turned against me. I have not tried any treatments other then the meds I'm on so I don't understand what the IVF and IUI ladies are going through but I have had my share of sobbing rides home from the OB/GYN.

We are "officially" starting now that I have been on my meds for 3 full months. I hope you ladies don't mind if I post here as this baby quest continues.

Re: New here

aww, I feel so bad for you, because your post sounds so down, you must be dealing with an awful lot trying to accept and grasp it all.

I am not very knowledgable on immune issues, but there are a lot of ladies here who are, who Im sure will offer advice along the way.

So sorry you have to be here, but I hope all the girls can help make your journey towards getting pregnant a little less lonely and scary Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: New here

Thanks for the warm welcome and the well wishes. Sorry I sound a little down, I am normally much more optimistic. I just get scared about the road ahead. I know I am lucky since I know what's wrong but that doesn't always make it easier. Thanks again ladies and I hope you all get your hearts desire Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: New here

Welcome and I am sure you will get tons of support here. I have MTHFR and take Lovenox injections every single night. I did PIO, and all the other Rxs associated with IVF - twice - as I have high FSH/low egg reserves.

But....I am 23 weeks and 4 days pg today! So please don't lose hope... and if you ARE looking for an RE, the clinic I used is very proactive with immunological issues. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: New here

Welcome! I would suggest joining the Yahoo immunology support group. There is a lot of great info there especially in the files. There is also a Factor V leiden board on Yahoo which is another thrombophilia. Also IVF connections has an immunology board. Inciid has an immunology forum as well. GL!!
