Tony and I had a great visit at the doctor today. We didn't get a whole lot in the way of answers, but we do have a plan. The doctor made some suggestions as to things we could test in an attempt to figure out why I have experienced two miscarriages. I had a LOT of blood drawn. They did a recurrent pregnancy loss panel, which tests for several autoimmune diseases (lupus was one I heard mentioned). They also wanted to test for my vitamin D levels, and a bunch of other stuff. The doctor did suggest doing karyotype testing, which is the genetic testing of the chromosomes that I mentioned in my previous post. We declined for today, as we weren't sure whether or not my insurance covers that one and it is quite expensive.
We did get the "go ahead" to proceed with our frozen embryo transfer. We also discussed with the doctor that we would like to transfer two the next time. I will be done taking birth control on Sunday. Once I get a period, I start the estradiol on day 1, go in for a baseline ultrasound and on we go!
