anyone dealing with secondary infertility??  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I guess i am considered to be dealing with secondary infertility. I used to take my fertility for granted i guess, as i got pregnant quickly with my first 3 kids. But now it has been over 3 years since we started actively trying to have a baby. In that 3 years, we lost 4 babies. I struggle to get pregnant, then i struggle to make them stick.
I have PCOS, 2 blood clotting disorders, low thyroid, and very low progesterone. I am on Metformin, Thyroid, 200 mg progesterone after I Ovulate, which bumps to progesterone injections after a BFP, Baby aspirin while ttc( and not) and heparin injections after a BFP.

I used to be called fertile mertyl, but now i struggle. I had 3 kids back to back, and after we decided to ttc, it took 15 months to get pregnant again, and he passed away and was born mid pregnancy. Then i had another baby right away that passed away at 18 weeks, and then it took us 8 months to get pregnant and i miscarried right away, and then again the next month.We have talked about giving up, but i am not ready to be done trying.

I just wonder if anyone else deals with secondary infertility. I know that i am blessed to have the kids i have, but my heart is not at peace, and we really would like 3 more, though i doubt that will happen....

There are quite a few of us on this forum that are dealing with secondary if. It's a different kind of heartache than primary, but they both hurt.

Have you seen an RE (reproductive endocrinologist)? If you are only seeing your ob/gyn, that's where I would go next. Also, check out soulcysters, where you will find many other women dealing with the pain of infertility and pcos.
