She was not opposed to trying again naturally. However, she did stress the time it takes to naturally become pregnant and possibly miscarry. We discussed the risks of having another D&C. She also stressed the next pregnancy would be a bit more invested than the previous pregnancies because it would be considered high risk due to my history and more importantly daily Lovenox injections due to my thrombophilia markers which I have four (way to hit it out of the genetics ballpark!) She did ensure me that if we were to try again naturally I would be closely monitored and most likely not have to endure the hemorrhaging I did last time.
She believes there is an egg quality issue going on and although IVF cannot fix the issue, it can significantly lower our odds of a miscarriage by screening the embryos.
Her professional opinion was to continue with our plan of IVF/PGS, and after so much thought and discussion we plan on following her opinion. I had my antra follicle count ultrasound completed and have started the suppression stage.
Life is not full of guarantees - more like the opposite. There are times where you cannot change the cards that you have been dealt. There are times where you have to take a leap of faith and see what happens. The last few months have taught me the only thing I do have control over are my thoughts/feelings and that in life chances need to be taken. I am going to do everything in my power to make this experience self-empowering and positive.
