As I’ve documented in previous posts, ever since my son was born I’ve been struggling with pregnancy loss, before and after my husbands battle with Cancer.

This past loss, which was in March my doctor decided we needed to investigate into it further. Daniel and I had completed a chromosome panel to ensure that we didn’t have anything. That came back perfectly normal. Most recently I had another blood test done, a recurrent pregnancy loss panel. It included many vials of blood, as well as a 24 hour urine collection kit (weirdest experience ever by the way)

Plan of Action

All my blood tests came back normal. Which is a tad frustrating. But we at least have a plan of action moving forward. If I were to get pregnant again, the doctor wants to see me that day for a blood draw and ultrasound. We’d get my progesterone checked, and I’d have to take baby aspirin as well as this injection medication. If that works, perfect! if it doesn’t, I’ll need my uterus biopsied sometime in august.

During this time, I’ve still been working on eating better, and taking my daily whole food vitamin. Previously, I’ve been getting pregnant, while not on them, with a worse diet, so I’m hoping that by continuing the vitamin will improve my egg quality, that way if its my eggs that’s the problem, I’m taking steps to change that.

Short Term Goals

I have some short term goals, and as long as I’m consistent with them, I’m hoping they will help me with my ultimate goal, which is finding answers, and a way to prevent miscarriage’s from happening again. My short term goals include

• 80 oz water a day
• Lower carbs
• More protien
• Whole Food prenatal every day
• Drink less caffeine and Soda
• Start walking/exercising

Weather or not this is the answer, I don’t know yet, but I do know how much better I feel and my body feels by doing some of these goals already; so its a no brainer that I need to keep going.

For now, that’s the plan. Keep tracking, keep trying to improve my eating habits and hopefully get pregnant and stay pregnant before august because to be perfectly honest- a Uterine Biopsy doesn’t sound fun at all.
