Geneticist appt.!!!!!

[fidget]

Okay now I am confused! Some of you may have read my earlier post about the expectant call from my RE's office. Well she called to tell me that I am going to be referred to a genetic counsellor. I was a bit shocked because we had already visited with the same genetic counsellor after my 2nd loss. I am confused, and have lots of questions that I know none of you can anwer but I just wanted to get them out here. I guess this will be sort of a BLOG. #1 Did my RE neglect to see that I had already seen this GC?
#2 Did my RE know I had seen this GC and because something new showed up after the results of my latest loss he wants me to go back to the GC?
#3 What is the results of my latest loss anyway?

To answer number three I have called my OB's office. I am hoping that I can get an appt. there very soon so I can find out about Angel #5. My curiosity is through the roof.

I am crushed after this phone call because I was hoping this was the go ahead for my injectible program (I guess IUI) Now I am worried that this little piece of info is going to make it an even longer wait to ttc
Yet, I am happy that the lab was able to get useful information from my last wee one (we didn't think we could). So now I am in a state of happy, sad, frustrated and bordering slight devestation. AAAuuuuggggghhhh!

Anyway thank you for reading me out. I just had to get it out. I hope no one minds me taking up space to do it.

Confused and frustrated,
Tanya

Tanya,
Do you mind filling me in about why you saw a GC in the first place. Was it b/c your losses were found to be chromosone problems? I was sent to a GC b/c my losses were trisomys. The GC didn't really tell me anything I didn't know...nature's way, unlucky blah blah!!
What is the injectible program you will be starting.
Try to stay positive, maybe it was just a slip from the RE and you don't need to see GC again.
Keep us posted,
Rach

Rachel,

I went to see the GC after my second loss because it was born with an extra set of chromosomes XXY. They told me that this is quite a common reason for misscarriage and that it was a fluke blah blah blah...you know the drill. I have had only that baby and this 5th loss tested. I still have no clue what abnormality this last one had. I hope you are right and seeing the GC was only an oversight on my RE's part.

I was supposed to start a series of injections and oral medications to make my uterus a perfect environment for a fetus. This would only be done emperically as no cause has yet been detected. I don't remember all the medications I will try and type some progesterone (Crinone) of course, Gonal-F (FSH), Lupron, and there are 3 more that I don't remember. Anyway this will all probably be put on hold. That upsets me because I was planning to start all this in 3 weeks. Oh well I've been waiting 4 years....what's another year right.

Thanks for asking.

Your post has made me feel SOOO much better! I know that sounds weird - but I just saw my RE yesterday & I was expecting to hear that we were done & we could start TTC again. Now he wants more bloodwork & another appt in 3 weeks . . . . would have been 2 but he will be gone for the holiday. This is getting really old & I am ready to get on with it already!

Maybe we can both get released to ttc again soon . . . just helped to know that I wasn't the only one being told to hold on for another few weeks.
