Question

Miscarriages and pregnancies...

I've been preg 4x. I have 2 babies (almost 4&2) I had 1 miscarriage in between them- after my 1st mc I got preg right away. This past summer I had my 2nd mc. It was in June. I had to do 2 rounds of the vag pills and still ended up doing the d&c surgery. It took 1.5 months to go through that mc. The week after the surgery I got sick. At the time I thought it was the flu. My dr gave me an antibiotic & it cleared up in 1 week. I decided to wait 1 month to ttc again. +body time to heal... So for 1 mo we used only condoms as our only protection meanwhile I was taking phentermine to lose weight/get healthier for another preg. When it came time for ovulation/implantation I stopped taking the phentermine to be SAFE. After the 1 month we stopped using protection & I still continued taking phentermine except when I was supposed to ovulate/implant. I'm healthier now but two cycles NO preg- could I have gotten a infection after surgery & that messed up my fertility?
:((

It is possible I suppose, but you've only been trying again for 2 cycles. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. Be patient, since it can take a while to get pregnant even if you've gotten pregnant quickly before. Your odds in any given cycle even if everything is perfect are only about 20%, or lower if you're over 30.

Concentrate on eating healthy, no coffee, no soft drinks. Take a good prenatal with folate in it. Take some vitamin D3 because this helps with conception, preventing mc and also immunity. Also maybe some probiotics because you have had antibiotics. 2 cycles is not so long, after 6 months if you are over 30 then maybe go to a fertility clinic for further checks

Our situations are very alike. Dh and I had always gotten pg in our first cycle trying (three consecutive pregnancies). Unfortunately, our last one ended in m/c and I had to have a d&c to complete it. That was in May. We needed time to recover emotionally before ttc again after that. We started in earnest last cycle (August) and that turned into an early af :-/. Onto this cycle, I'm 6-7 dpo and have had pale brown cm since 4-5 dpo, so I'm coming to terms with the fact that we may be another unsuccessful cycle in. We've researched it and have learned that it can sometimes be 6-9 mos before the uterus can receive an implantation due to the scraping from the d&c. *sigh* It's not the best of news, but better than infertility from an infection. I can't recommend opk's & temping enough to help understand more of what's going on. I did realize my timing was way off on our first failed attempt, so more info greatly improved our timing this cycle.
