Hoping someone can please help me, back story is TTC girl sway almost a year, BFP on month 5 m/c at 6 weeks. Got another BFP next month without af arriving mmc at 11 weeks baby stopped at 6 weeks. Stopped all swaying waited 2 cycles got BFP m/c again 6 weeks.
I seen a fertility specialist but as already diagnosed with pcos and endo said no point in retesting wants to put me on clomid, baby aspirin and progesterone.
I have 4 boys all concieved easily no help so was hesitant about clomid so full blood tests ordered but because only just miscarried and cycles long/irregular it could be 3 months untill results back. The only thing keeping me sane is ttc so feel 3 months wait would destroy me - can i still ttc in this time?
When i was at hospital docs/midwifes said as m/c natural no need to wait, fertility specialist said 2nd m/c could be as no cycle in between but that doesnt explain 3rd.
Progesterone was 4 on last pregnancy so very low i believe this is issue
Also just to add specialist is very nice and i know all doctors have individual opinions but i was also told when i get pregnant it would have to be csec. I said i wanted try VBAC unless medical reason not to, was told not safe would risk uterine rupture and all other risks etc. i had 3 natural births the last csec was baby related and in my opinion completely not needed so do disagree there
im not trying to argue or ignore medical advice my gp is wonderful who has similar opinions to me but cant test / prescribe progesterone so have to go through specialist

One step at a time. Focus on getting pregnant and staying pregnant first. You can always change practitioners after the matter. :) I have no advice as far as if you should TTC in the 3 month period. Perhaps somebody else can chime in :)

I'm so sorry this one sneaked past me.

Please don't be hesitant about Clomid, it really helps people and will also sway pink.

Most miscarriages, you never know why they occured. The specialist can speculate about the reasons but they have no idea. I will assure you we have had several people on here who had

I want you on the atomic fertility diet in this thread, 5 from top. Eating too many carbs with your PCOS may make worse egg quality and we want your to be high. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/9052-swaying-under-special-circumstances-part-3-pcos.html

Increase folate to 2000 mcg thru first trimester and then gradually wean back to amount in prenatal.

Coq10 (ubiquinol form if you can afford it) 400-600 mg a day, wean off gradually at BFP.

RE your low progesterone, when a pregnancy is not working out, your body naturally lowers progesterone to end it. This is natural and to be expected. It is the result of the pregnancy not being quite right, not the cause.

The best thing that you can do for yourself is to change your diet to cut back some on carbs, and the Clomid. Personally I'd wait for the Clomid. When Clomid is on the horizon, I never recommend TTC for a girl without it since it's such a good pink sway.

Just to update incase anyone else in same situation, i went back to specialist and asked what i originally posted and was told pretty much what atomic said
Its perfectly fine to continue ttc whilst getting tests just need to test early and call if bfp to be put on progesterone asap

Very sorry to hear about your losses.

I have no problems conceivng boys it appears but now on my 4th mc in a row whilst swaying girl.

The diet sucks and the only 'good' thing about the losses is the break from the diet. I *was* able to conceive girl on my own on the diet though but lost her last year :(

I'm making some fertility changes (more veggies, full fat dairy etc) so hopefully that will help us both.

As for ttc during the waiting period, I say go for it. You never know which month has the golden egg :)
