I thought I would list the vitamins/supplements that I now take daily...until my RE tells me I should do otherwise:
Vitamin D 1000 IU/25 mcg
Folic Acid 0.4mg
CoQ10 250 mg
ASA low dose 81 mg
Vitamin B12(125mcg) B6(50 mg) with Folic Acid(0.4 mg)
I have added Walnuts and Pom juice to my diet, and have just switched to decaf...

You need to take HOW MUCH blood?
Well I had my rpl panel bloodbork done this morning. Twenry, yes TWENTY vials of blood taken! The nurse at the clinic actually asked the lab at the hospital if she could take that much blood at one sitting! Cue me going "OMG!!" Well she did a good job, got a good vein right away and it went fairly well. I was very tired afterwards though. I went home and slept for three hours!
So now it's a waiting game. I have no idea how long it takes for the bloodwork results to be sent to my RE, but he still won't book my follow up appointment until I have my HSG done. I really hope I get in to have that test in November. It has to be done in Montreal - 5 hrs away from where I live.
I am back in limbo...unsure of my next cycle given the fact that I just had a m/c, so I suppose I can try to put ttc out of my mind for a few weeks. Easier said than done...

Where it all started
So I suppose that my TTC journey started way back in 1995 when I had my first miscarriage at about 8 weeks. I was young, but devastated. It happened on Mother's Day and I will never forget the deep sadness that it brought.
Fast Forward...three years later I met the love of my life, whom I married in 2007. We started ttc a couple of months before our wedding and I just assumed it would be easy. It wasn't. It took us over a year to get our first BFP in June of 08. A few weeks later I started bleeding, and we rushed to the hospital. It was too early for an ultrasound so we had to wait. I started bleeding again...we had a fetal heart beat though. We were given 50/50 odds. I was off work my entire pregnancy and we had a beautiful son in Feb of 09.
Given the length of time it took us to conceive our DS, we started trying again fairly early and in Dec of 09 I got my BFP! Again I started to bleed in January so we went to the hospital. This time we saw the fetal heartbeat at 7w5d. At 11 weeks I started to bleed again and we went in for another ultrasound - no heartbeat. I was crushed! They said I was on the edge of having to have a D & C, so they sent me home and I went through labour and had an absolutely horrific miscarriage at home. My MIL was with me (former RN) and my DH was looking after our son. Tragic.
I had an ultrasound and bloodwork done afterwards and my OB said everything looked okay.
We got another BFP in June of 10. Bleeding started right afterwards and I had an early loss.
We then didn't get PG again for 16 months.
In July of 11 my OB referred us to a fertility clinic. I had an initial visit, went back for ovarian reserve testing and have been waiting to get an appointment for an HSG.
In the meantime, we got a BFP a few weeks ago. I started to bleed. Visit to ER...beta 3.2. Heartbreak again.
Now I am heading tomorrow for complete RPL Panel bloodwork, hoping to get an appointment for HSG in November and have follow up with RE in December to find out WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!!
