I do not ovulate due to low progesterone levels. I was taking progesterone and clomid for 3 months but nothing. I have changed my diet now so my progesterone levels are up but still nothing. My dh is going to get tested next week but we never thought to get him tested because I have always had problems and the fact that we have been prego but then lost them very early around 4 weeks. We have just lost our insurance due to my dh losing his job do now we are just trying to manage things on our own. Thank you for the warm welcome

@praying- i've lost all my 3 babies before 5weeks and I dont OV naturally either. But mine is due to pcos. Can your dh 'collect the specimen' at home? Mine did. It was less nerve recking for him.

Omg I think I know what's causing my miscarriages!!!
I had a talk with my mom and told her my friend 'nicky' is worried about her unborn baby (sorry Nicky, I used you so I didn't have tell her the conversation was about me)! Rofl!!!
Anyways...my grandma had multiple m/c's! Like 5-6 with no known cause (1950s mind you). She had 3 healthy babies inbetween the m/c's but my aunt was born with cerebral palsy and had anatomical abnormalities. All caused by lack of blood flow to the fetus. Even though cerebral palsy can be caused during labor, my aunt's level of abnormalities shows that she had lack of oxygen during her development in utero. So my aunt's condition + multiple mc's= The possibilty of a blood clotting disorder causing lack of blood flow to baby! It's possible I inherited this!!!!!

So I'm telling the dr I want bloodwork now!

Plus my grandma suffered from multiple mini strokes in the last 10 yrs of her life which is also seen in cases with blood clotting disorders.

Tara, I was going to ask you this morning, but I couldn't remember if I'd asked and you'd answered already what sort of testing you've had.

I was just diagnosed with two different clotting disorders. They tested me after two back to back chemical pgs, and now I'm on a low dose daily aspirin and will be on a Lovenox injection throughout my IVF and hopeful pregnancy. I would start taking the low dose aspirin if I were you. I would also ask them to do a thrombolia screening on you, since you have a family history of clots. Blood clotting disorders can definitely have an affect on implantation.

I would start again right away. Sometimes it is easier to get pg the very next month after a miscarriage.

Good Luck and hugs to all!

@lisserb- how much did that test cost you?

Tara - I hope that's what it is!

I'm in Canada, so it was covered by our provincial health care. I'm not sure how much it would be in the US. If it is ordered by your Dr. as diagnostic for possible clotting issues, would your insurance cover it?

Possibly. Nurse finally called back. She said it shouldnt be a problem to get hcg, hormones and genetic panel done while doing clomid. Why do I feel like i'm asking for the world!? They'll let me know tomorrow what the dr says.

I'm starting to get really worried that I'm not going to ov, my opk's haven't gotten darker the past few days. I'm trying not to stress but its hard not to.
