Saw my obstetrician yesterday, he told me that miscarriages are common and that this one has no relation to our previous losses nor does it hold any consequences for a subsequent pregnancy. We discussed testing briefly but ultimately decided that if a second miscarriage occurs then we will follow up with a battery of blood work on both Dyl and I - just so I have a plan, which I am grateful that my OB understands how I my head works. He gave us the go ahead to start trying to conceive, which I was happy to hear, he is very positive for my next pregnancy and said that he believes we shouldn't have trouble conceiving again.
I was beaming, a little terrified, but so thrilled.
He suggested that we try for a few months without jumping back on Clomid, while we know the 100mg worked last August it also wreaked havoc on my body and it is best for my body if we can avoid Clomid when we can. If after 4-6 cycles I haven't conceived and want to go on the Clomid I can, and if my cycles get weird on me again to see him immediately for a plan - but he seems to really think that this year will be ours and his positivity only added more hope to the bucket, while there is still a voice in my head telling me how impossible all of this is, I know I still have a lot of hope to hold on to and no reason to doubt my body.
So here we are jumping back onto the trying to conceive train, since I was expecting to get the go ahead for next cycle (but secretly hoping for this cycle) I had already gotten back to my proper sleeping and eating habits, I am back on the prenatal vitamins and have begun charting again. I still have a pile of ovulation strips for my Clearblue Ovulation Kit but haven't committed to them entirely yet.
Fingers crossed.
