Re: UU (m/c and preg ment)

December 24, 2003

Hi Dee-I'm glad that you found us! Just wanted to share my

experiences and say welcome.

I'm also kind of confused about the whole " shape " thing that you

mentioned-unless there is something unique about your UU. Obviously

everyone is different and each one of us has different circumstances.

I was able to get pregnant twice without ever having IUI. The first

time I got pregnant very quickly b/f I knew about my UU. I did have a

m/c at 9 weeks. After a year of ttc again with no luck, we determined

that I was having annovulatory cycles or sometimes cycles with poor

ovulation. We did the hsg, learned of my UU, and I started clomid.

As far as injections v. clomid, I don't have a strong opinion one way

or the other. The biggest thing that I learned is that there doesn't

seem to be one definite answer-even amongst med professionals.

Throughout the process, I saw several REs. It was really sort of

frustrating b/c each had differing opinions and it was hard to make a

decision or know who to trust. My OB was the doc who started me on

clomid. Her plan was to do the 3 months on clomid and then go to

clomid/iui. I finally chose an RE and went through initial

bloodwork/testing with him. He wanted to can the clomid, do a

lap/hyst, and then start injections. I (being a bit neurotic) also

consulted a peri before becoming pregnant and he was very much against

the injection idea. I was also ovulating well on the clomid, so I

wasn't sure why to go the injection route...there is an increased

chance of multiples and I was afraid to take that risk (reduction was

not something that I would consider.) I was, however, very frustrated

and didn't want to waste any time. Luckily, I didn't have to make the

decision b/c I did get pregnant on the 3rd cycle of clomid.

I also agree that it is strange that infertility has come along with

my MA. (It just adds insult to injury in my opinion!) For me, I had

no trouble conceiving the first time, but had problems after my m/c.

My RE felt pretty sure that I had endo, but we never did find out.

I wish you the best of luck and hope that things fall into place for

you quickly. Hang in there and keep us posted!

UU, 29
