Not pregnant -- ME?

This ended up being for sure a chemical :( Two days of super faint tests this late in the game made me expect a loss. Heavy spotting now (incidentally after acupuncture today).

Do I need to be pursuing an RE? I just learned about balanced translocation -- it would explain DD's success. I know progesterone is such a mixed bag, but my LP keeps being around 11 days. Do I need to drop the 1-2 nursing sessions with my DD still?

You do not need to stop nursing, but be aware if you go to an RE they will tell you to stop nursing.

Translocations are possible but not the first place my head goes. We haven't had many on here. The thyroid thing is the most likely cause (apart from sheer bad luck).

11 day LP is still enough to conceive with - that having been said, it's not me who has to go through all this and if the progesterone feels like something to try, then it's a possibility.

Oh and I'm really sorry...I know you've been through the wringer and I'm so sorry this has happened.

I'm sorry you're having such a tough month, this ttc can be such a rollercoaster even when things are straight forward and then adding in extra complications can really let doubt creep in. It's hard to clear the slate and reset. Keep your chin up:bluecheer::bluecheer::bluecheer: sending you positive thoughts for next cycle. Need some blue cheers in our lives.

A psychic at a ren fest today said she never sees me giving birth to a boy, but I will become pregnant "at any time now."

I knooow this is BS... right? But what if I'm miscarrying all these boys because something IS preventing me from carrying them?!

Also should I throw in n CoQ10? Should DH? How much??

Yes, it's BS! I promise.

NO ONE can't carry boys. There is a rare situation that I'm sure you're aware of, where half the time, a woman can't carry the boys she conceives - but it's only half the time and you'd have some sort of family history. So much more is known now than even just a decade or two ago - it's a lot less likely that your family wouldn't have some knowledge that something was amiss than it was in the 70's and 80's, for example. It doesn't mean it's impossible and by all means, while genetic testing is quite a lot of money if it saves you stress and heartache it may be worth it.

I honestly don't think the Coq is doing anything. I was using it for a while, it really didn't seem to be helping, and while I do still give it to some people just in case, it is expensive. If you want to try it, you can take 200 mg for yourself, 100 mg for your husband.

Thank you. It's so dumb, but that reassurance helps. I'm never doing a damn tarot reading again!

The rare boy carrying thing though... I think I've mentioned before, but my whole generation of cousins on my mom's side are girls except 2 (who were from uncles, not aunts). Several miscarriages for many and otherwise GIRLS. Literally 88% of my generation in the family is female!

But several of those cousins have had boys -- though one I know had IUI for two of hers. This means they're can't be a genetic thing, right? Especially since I know my husband isn't bringing that to the table since he's from a BBBG family descended from a very evenly mixed family before him.

I got a referall to a fertility doc anyway, so I'll meet just to cross off other things.

I'm sorry I'm asking pretty asinine questions. I feel really out of sorts from yet another loss and that stupid reading. Sometimes I feel like the last two years has been so hard I'm just wishing my life away to get to the "happy" -- my boy.

My bleeding for this CP was really light and short not only compared to my other losses but also just to my period. Should I be concerned about lining issues? I finally got a BFN today after the really light BFPs over the last few days, so this doesn't look like any hopeful situatuon with a vanishing twin or anything, but I didn't even have any cramping and still had early preg symptoms.

your tests no longer have lines right panther? so the probability of still being pregnant isnt there?

Light bleeding with a loss would suggest lining issue to me

Yeah lines went neg, so my desperate, "VANISHING TWIN?" is pretty moot. Never suspected lining either until this weird bleed.

We'll figure it out either way! I moved FAST on this. Just saw an RE today and had a ton of things tested. Have a hysteroscopy next week.
