frequency of BD for pink and blue

Thank you! I am praying for a smooth pregnancy.

Oh and the supplements do I continue the fish oil and calcium.

Unfortunately I am miscarrying again. Started bleeding this morning and did an ultrascan. Doc couldn't find any sac and hcg level is at 324. Will take another blood test in two days to see if the hcg will increase but I am not hopeful. Sigh. I am heart broken.

Oh no Joy do they have any insight as to why this may be happening???

Probably need to do more tests to have more insights. But I think for now we will take a break from ttc and resume next year. It's so heartbreaking to have a mc the second time round. Sigh.

Doc did recommend to take metaformin next time when I want to try again.

I will just continue the supplements and exercise to keep my body healthy. And pray too ��

I am not sure what else I can do at this point of time

Just let me know how I can help whenever you need anything.

We want to try to avoid the metformin if we can - my advice is to possibly lose 5-10 lbs and that will improve your insulin response and maybe we'll be able to prevent you going on the Metformin.

Oh but I am already underweight. I am 50kg and 169cm. Do I need to lose weight? Actually I am eating more frequently just to increase my weight.

The doc recommended metformin because my right ovary is showing some pcos. But it's non conclusive for now as I have regular cycles.doc suggested to do another scan once i am ready

AGH if you're already underweight then you should not be on Metformin! It can make you lose weight. Have they tested you thoroughly for lots of signs of PCOS or are just going off one???

Yikes. I cannot afford to lose any more weight.

No further tests have been done so far as we have decided to take a short break from ttc. But I did went for an acupuncture session yesterday. Might continue and see how it goes. I am waiting for my next cycle to arrive after my mc. Hopefully it doesn't change much.

What do you think of acupuncture? It's my first time trying it and the doc say will try to help me relax and produce better eggs but i am not 100% onboard with it. But what i do know is that i need to make sure the next time i get a bfp i do not miscarry again. it's awful to go through this.

I doubt the acupuncture does anything at all. It is something doctors have people do because most people want to feel that they're doing something. The good studies have shown it does not help anyone get and stay pregnant. But it ~may~ help you to feel relaxation and the relaxation may help reduce stress. But I would suggest doing something more like a massage instead, at the very least you will get a pleasant massage out of the deal.

They should not just prescribe you medication without proving that you have high blood sugar. Your body will not respond to having overly low blood sugar well either. Is there any way to get a second opinion?

Yes I am planning to get a second opinion in Dec to see if they could run a test or something. In the meantime I will try to not think about TTC. lol maybe a break from it is good.

Just let me know if I can help in the meanwhile, Joy.
