The Routine

I'm a part of a few infertility groups on facebook and I was thinking that if anyone ever asked me "what did you do" I should have a place to reference what I did before I forget. So below, in mostly chronological order, is the regimen I did to conceive this baby.

• Track ovulation
• Measuring BBT
• Ovulation test strips
• Took Fertilitea
• Took Ovaboost
• Morning fertility yoga
• Changed my workout routine to be less strenuous

With the above routine I conceived and miscarried 2 times and then I added on the following:

• Meditation
• Acupuncture
• Stopped Fetilitea and Ovaboost
• Started Chinese herbs, Vit: D, B complex, Prenatal, eating daily seaweed snacks
• Stopped TTC for 6 months

At this point I had another miscarried at about 5 months post my last one, but was a chemical pregnancy. Then I started seeing a few doctors and ended up with an OB that added on the following:

• Recurrent miscarriage panel and diagnosed me with Factor V and MTHFR (diagnosed by a hematologist)
• Add in daily baby aspirin
• Started oral progesterone after ovulation

At this point I conceived on the next cycle and stopped the Chinese herbs and seaweed (but only stopped the seaweed due to nausea/aversion). At this point:

• I stopped the fertility yoga
• Started daily Lovenox shots
• Continued the oral progesterone until about 12 weeks along then took about 2 weeks or so to wean off.

These details are already pretty fuzzy, so this is fairly accurate, but maybe not 100%.
