Atomic please help with new girl sway after 2nd trimester loss of another baby girl
Hi atomic, I recently had to have a D&E, our #5 baby girls heart stopped at 13w4d for no know reason (NIPT and ultrasounds were perfect). Not sure if you remember me, so I’ll fill you in a little—This is the 2nd baby girl lost in the 2nd trimester, after a good genetic test. We have a healthy 2 year old daughter conceived 6 weeks after IVF egg retrieval (the only thing I did different with her was stay on levothyroxine before and through pregnancy and stopped after giving birth)
my TSH is currently 4.15 an my OB felt that was fine to not have to take it again as I only took it because of IVF but stayed on through my only living daughters pregnancy).
My question is, I’d like to try again for another girl but am obviously so scared of another late loss [emoji22] I had the D&E Tuesday so am still bleeding and wonder when you’d suggest trying? Waiting months to add in LE or only doing the LE for 6 weeks or so + femara ?
I have Femara that I never took, I also wanted to take Ubiquinol coq10 (how much do you recommend?) and folate for egg quality, and walking 1 hr once I start to feel better. Should I wait longer on diet or try after a cycle or 2 after D&E. I read late loss sways or is it better to wait for better chances of a girl. I’m going to go ahead and get at least 1 Covid vaccine in a few days when I feel better so not sure if that sways either but I don’t want the stress dealing with Covid unvaccinated if I conceive again.
I’m 39, 5’3 almost 5’4, 120 lbs now (but 112 before Pregnancy), have 3 boys and 1 girl but have had 3 second trimester losses and 2 chemical pregnancies before getting pregnant this most recent time.
I got pregnant with my living daughter after 3 losses so I praying 4th times a charm this time too after 3 losses [emoji1317]
I don’t mind buying another plan if you need me to go fully help me. Thank you so much 🤍

Because we don't want to just assume that was the cause, though, I do want you to let me know about anything you were doing, taking, etc, even things that seem totally benign that you thought were ok. What type of prenatal were you taking? Fish oil, baby aspirin, that sort of thing?? Even things like herb tea? And have you been tested for clotting disorders and irregularities with your uterus?
I think you should go ahead and try after 6 weeks if you have your doc's ok and the Femara will only help. I don't think you should wait the full 12 weeks on diet. by that point you will be so far past the loss that it won't help you.
200 mg coq10 is fine but I suspect this is not an egg quality issue. My gut is the thyroid situation and I urge you to go looking for a doc who will take that possibility seriously if your present doc won't treat you.
I do always appreciate purchases as it lets me continue doing this as my job instead of having to work outside the home. I help everyone for free but purchases do help me to do that.
Thank you, we are devastated for sure🤍 I was never on thyroid meds with the boys but the ivf Dr put me on them and then I stayed on them after the ivf and got pregnant naturally with our 2 year old daughter 6 weeks after ivf so I just stayed on them and got off after delivery. My OB said mine is within limits at 4.12 and my t3 is fine too she said? Fertility Drs like the tsh between .5 -2.5 though so I wonder if mine at 4.12 could have done something? I thought about getting on it just to make myself feel better. My OB dr will prescribe it if I want it. I was just wondering if it seats boy or girl? Should I get on levothyroxine after conceiving if it sways boy?
We got pregnant kinda by accident with our most recent daughter. It was either a pull our failure or sperm that lasted 5-6 days..ultrasound said the pullout day was the conceived day though.
I was kinda on an LEish, vegetarian diet then, skipping breakfast and trying to only eat 2x a day with bigger meals, drinking lots of coffee and taking metemucil fiber pills (5) with meals, magnesium oxide/citrate at night (500mg) (dr approved those magnesium pills for pregnancy too) could that have done something?
After I got pregnant I only took the prenatals the IVF dr prescribed, that I also took through my heathy 2 year old daughters pregnancy also (Theranatal complete), probiotics at night (Life 9 by young living, and garden of life once daily women’s probiotic), I also took 2 stool softeners ducosate sodium 100 mg. ( I have Ibs with constipation so those things help me go or I can’t when taking prenatals).
I also drank Ningxia red (Young living) and elderberry juice made by a local girl who sells homemade elderberry.
The dr didn’t know what caused this most recent loss, as I had a healthy daughter between my losses and 3 heathy boys. They did send my placenta off to pathology this time so it will test for infection or clotting but that’s it and it could take up to 6 weeks they said. I did drink a lot of coffee but my OB said that wouldn’t do it.
So you think I should try first cycle after this current bleed or wait 2? I got Covid in the hospital on Tuesday so I’ve been taking tons of vitamins and don’t want that to sway blue.
After I’m better I’ll start walking 1hr, should I do the fiber pills again? , take 200 mg coq10, will you resend le diet you’d like me on, and I’ll take the femara and let me know about the thyroid to take before conception or after
Thank you so much for helping me. I just bought a Gender dreaming plan!

The only reason why I know about the potential for harm is because I talk to you guys over the course of time and see what happens to people so I'm just in the position to be an eyewitness to high doses of some nutrients causing harm.
You don't need to drop these things totally, just keep them in the safe and sane range.
Just ONE. That maximum dose is for people using fiber for health issues. And if it aggravates your constipation (fiber sometimes does) then just drop it. You don't need it.
We have given up on antihistamine as it didn't work. I woud not use it with Femara, but if you feel the need, first month only with both.
Not sure if you can answer this for me here or not (if not, can you private message?)
I mentioned that they gave me Covid in the hospital after my D&E last week. It hadn’t been anything like Delta that I had in July but my biggest concern is that I still have a fever of 100-100.3 and I’m on day 7.
My concern would be having a fever for 7+ days if I was pregnant. I wouldn’t want to take much Tylenol pregnant either because I read it can cause autism by lowering glutathione levels.
I’m not vaccinated and really didn’t want to from concern of not being able to get pregnant or is causing something to go wrong with baby. Also, I’d never get vaccinated pregnant so I was thinking of doing it once I’m fever free and feeling better. Drs say it doesn’t cause fertility issues but no one truly knows since there are no long term studies so I don’t trust it.
My question is, have you seen people unable to conceive or having problems getting pregnant after getting vaccinated? I’d want to try to get pregnant my first real cycle so is that even safe after the Vax? I know, you don’t know these answers 100% either but I’m curious if you’ve seen problems or losses after getting the Vax (before getting pregnant).
Thank you!
