what can be causing my chemicals??

Hi girls. This is my 3rd month on clomid . And 4th chemical. I have gotten positive pregnacy tests each month from December. I just went in for bloods today beta plus progesterone . I always have a 15 day LP so is it possible to have low progesterone if i have a long LP?? Im so down snd disappointed and just confused

I'm so sorry Pinkin. I'm in the same boat as you. Three chemical pregnancies in a row all at 4w2d and no idea why. Have you looked into having more extensive testing done? My RE had me do a complete blood workup (everything from metabolic panel, AMH, inherigen test, thyroid, diabetes testing), an ultrasound, plus I'm to have cd3 testing and an HSG next cycle. DH is getting tested with an advanced SA esp. because of the nature of his work. Has your DH been tested yet? What tests have you had so far?

I also have a 15 day LP but I won't get my progesterone test result back until after I get my other testing done. I wouldn't think P would be low with a long LP though. This is so frustrating, I know. Especially when all we want is to have another baby and this keeps happening over and over again. I hope you get the answers you need soon.

Chemicals are more common than people think. I assume you had full testing before IVF? Did you test for immune issues? Do you recall what your lining was for your IVF cycle?

Yeah i had a couple of tests done after my failed ivf. I had a fet which resulted in a bfn. My tests came back normal. I had 2 blood tests yesterday : progesterone which came back at 19 or 6 us measure and Thyroid which was 1.4. I am on thyroid meds for mild underactive thyroid . My lining for my fet was 11mm. I really just have this strong feeling that it is my lining....

As for my chemicals the last 2 months i get a bfp at 10dpo then they dissappear . The pic im posting now was 10dpo thats the bottom pic. Top pic is 11dpo so i just dont get it so confused. 20160306_124434.jpg

Hi Pinkin, I had a few early chemicals plus 4 miscarriages and my bw came back normal. I did what babygirlquest did, I used progesterone cream (from ov ) and baby aspirin at bfp. I did miscarry again using just the progesterone cream, but I believe the baby aspirin did it for me. I used it up to 39 weeks but that was my decision, and my little boy's perfect!
Good Luck!

Baby aspirin and pineapple core...both said to help with implantation.

Get checked for the MTHFR mutation as well. Having it makes you at risk for blood clots and repeat losses. I got tested after my one and only miscarriage and found out I was homozygous for it (biggest risk). So I have to take baby aspirin now and most likely during any more pregnancies. I had zero problems getting and staying pregnant with my boys (both were oopsies). It's a simple blood test.

Ok thanks. I see my dr on friday so i will get tested for that. I guess baby asprin cant help??? Do you think i am getting a bfp or do they look like dodgy tests?

They need to do a full workup to rule out any of the reasons that chemicals occur. LP of 15 days indicates to me that neither your prog nor your estrogen are low and something else is going on. It is possible to have chemicals more than once though, for no other reason than bad luck.
