Another trip to the doctor and another checkup checked off - hopefully the last regarding the miscarriage. Everything checked out to be fine with my levels back to normal. Good news for us. My OB/GYN states that he would like for us to use protection and not try for another pregnancy for 3 months. Seems like a short period of time - however, in my book, that is 1/4 of a year. We have been trying for a year and now he is wanting us to wait for longer? I understand the idea of having my body recover, but all literature says you can start trying after your first cycle.
And here is where the decision comes .... My fertility specialist is saying we can start trying as soon as I have my first visit from the "girly fairy." After discussion, Jason and I are going to go with the plan of the fertility specialist - as long as there are no risks to another miscarriage, no risks to carrying a healthy baby and no risks to my health directly. I was assured that there are no risks to having a healthy baby or my health. There are risks to having another miscarriage, but only because the risk of miscarriage increases with each miscarriage you have. This is for any women in this situation.
We will be starting Clomid and Progesterone as soon as the "girly fairy" arrives. Since we know I am able to get pregnant, we are going to hold on doing Artificial Insemination and see if the medication will work alone. After doing research, it is very common for women to get pregnant the cyle or two after having a miscarriage - due to the hormones circulating in your body! So keep your fingers, toes, eyes and whatever else crossed for us. We are hoping for the best!
