Hi everyone. I went to see my new doctor on Thursday. It felt really good and my husband said, Wow, what a big change from the other guy. He wrote a lab slip out for me for labs and I have to have another Hystosalpingogram since my last one was done in my 20's. Yuck, that was really painful for me. He felt that with my history I should be able to carry a baby to full term. He was not really excited about ivig treatments that are done for immune problems though. I will still have the other doc run those specific tests and if I feel he needs to take notice of something I will not hesitate to chew the bone on it with him. We are shooting for January for a FET. December, if I feel good but any time before March would be great. He felt that I had no implantation problems since I got pg with my ivf so easy. He thinks it probably a blood clotting problem. I was sad the night before we went but felt really good after seeing him. He is very energetic and expained everthing to us. He answered all my questions and didnt poo-poo any of them.
Here we go again.
Baby dust to all and no m/cs for anyone.

i'm glad you sound (mostly) comfortable with your new doc. it can make such a difference in a situation that already has so many variables.
sorry to hear about the repeat hysterosalpingogram. ouch! my re requires one every year (which was a deciding factor in when to have our fet.)
speaking of fet's good luck and loads of baby dust to you, whenever you decide it's the right time for you.
you're still in my thoughts and prayers concerning all of this, particularly because of your recent losses. this cycle of hope and despair sucks!
hopefully you'll have no more despairing. ;-)

Fourtyfour I am so happy you went to a new doctor and he seems positive and I am sure that makes you fell alot better!! I too remember the HSG test! My good friend is getting ready to start her journey on getting pregnant, her husband has 0 sperm and they are getting donor sperm. She has to have a HSG test and I was honest with her and told her yes it is painful, but it is over so fast. Keep us posted and my thoughts are with you and your husband!

Thank you so much everyone. When i got pg the second time I was not too nervous about a m/c but now I feel sick to my stomach for what the first 8 weeks will hold for us. I will need so much faith and patience to get through it.
I got my medical records today and will now send them out to my new doc.
My last patient today had a 2 year old little girl and I thought I was fine until the way home. My heart is so heavy now. She knows I had a m/c and that baby was on her lap while I started her IV. Talk about in your face. I suppose its a good time for some journaling and purge my soul some more.
Take care all and baby dust to all.

Hola 44,
I have been gone for so long, I didnt realize you had a miscarriage. Im so sorry to hear that. Im glad you found a new doctor who has made you feel like there is hope.Thats always very important.
As for me my hubby is pushing for another cycle I thought maybe I would do a cycle this month but felt I was not emotionaly ready.(what ever that means  A co-worker of mine informed me that she was pregnant she also felt the need to inform me that it didnt take them long at all and that she plans on getting pregnant again right after the baby is born. I guess I should be happy for her but I was on hating mode! I wish it was that easy for us all. good luck with your testing hope all goes well.

Hola Latina, Yes, it would be nice if we could plan our babies like most people do. I am always in awe when someone will say that they will try and get pg in October or whatever month they choose. You will know when you are ready for a cycle. I have people pushing me and cant understand my reluctance. Thank you for your thoughts. Its nice to hear from you.
