[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I did go see an RE, but I think we went too soon.  We ran to an RE after the first miscarriage since I'm AMA. We did all the testing she recommended at the time, although we didn't do a few of the tests, based on THEIR recommendations.  For example, we didn't test my ovarian reserve.  They were of the opinion that hell, I'm AMA, we know what the general answer is. But I did all the bloodwork and all the hormone tests, etc.  Everything came back normal with no flags. OB and PCP have done all the testing they can think of.  All 3 seemed in agreement that there isn't an issue to fix EXCEPT I'm AMA and I'm gambling each time an egg drops as to whether it's good enough to make it through the entire process.

We walked away from our first RE experience feeling like there wasn't an obvious issue to fix and so why not try it on our own, when we obviously seemed to be having no problem getting pregnant. It seemed like such an arduous and expensive process to get involved with if we could do this another way.  I guess it's now just a matter of us deciding that now after 3 miscarriages, and a year of time passing, that we need to reassess our plan.  DH is still wanting to try at least one more time naturally. We don't know what caused the first one (we didn't test b/c dr advised against it). The second one was actually a blighted ovum and basically never got off the ground.  The third one was chromosomal abnormality. So in his mind, it's not like there's one clear issue that's causing all this and that each time is a new start. I do think he's in complete denial over my age--another product of the "hey look--she's 45 and she had a kid" phenomenon.

ugh. This journey is so hard. For all of us.[/quote]
