The RPL panel makes sense not because you're likely to experience another...but because there may be a very clear indicator of how best to avoid another. <br /><br />The second loss, it's a very hard one, Sloper. It makes you a member of a club you never had any interest in joining in the first place. But the odds of carrying a healthy pregnancy to term next time are overwhelmingly in your favor.<br /><br />Hugs to you.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955659206478903815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-1235266159752005972010-10-28T13:51:15.616-07:002010-10-28T13:51:15.616-07:00I am really sorry that you are going through this ...I am really sorry that you are going through this now, again.

The upside you pointed out yesterday and the new ones you found with Dr. Wonderful are all SO GOOD. You guys were freaked about LG's swimmers and look at this, one IUI and they found an eggie. All that said, I know this has got to be so heartbreaking to be so close. Dr. Wonderful is living up to her name, she's covering allllll of the bases, and you are in amazing hands. Be kind to yourself today and this weekend. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-83796935046901319932010-10-28T10:08:45.918-07:002010-10-28T10:08:45.918-07:00There is good news in that this worked and your do...There is good news in that this worked and your doctor seems ahead of the game here.Mrs. Misfitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245258330689439524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-25818112745056868062010-10-28T09:39:25.299-07:002010-10-28T09:39:25.299-07:00It sounds like your doctor is, indeed, wonderful. ...It sounds like your doctor is, indeed, wonderful.

BUT, I really think the fact that you can get pregnant is a very good sign, as Dr. Wonderful said.

And that is just a sucky and unfair thing to have to feel-- of course it isn't true, as you point out-- 2 losses don't really mean anything. But it sure feels like it, and it's nearly impossible to get your heart and head to respond in quite the same positive way to subsequent pregnancies. So yeah, this is a big deal and you are right to be deeply sad about it, no matter how early the loss (if it is indeed a loss- I know all signs point that way).<br /><br />On the plus side, it seems like SUCH a wonderful thing to have Dr. Wonderful to hold your hand through this experience. I definitely think that you made the right choice of RE! To be able to talk about this with someone who is both helpful/knowledgeable AND optimistic, and who will take a good portion of your burden onto her own shoulders-- I'm glad. <br /><br />Hang in there-- I am still anxious for tomorrow's results and am hoping that if this is not indeed a miracle baby that at least your levels are well on their way back to 0.
