Hi again,
I am writing with a "heavy heart" as this was the week that I was supposed to have my first child. Instead, I am waiting to schedule my surgery to have the uterine polyp or cyst removed...There are a couple of things that I wanted to ask. I haven't brought this up to my RE, but I guess it's worth mentioning. I tested positive for a strep infection (they could tell from my urine culture) with my first loss. During my second pregnancy (before my second loss) I was running a slight fever and I was having terrible night sweats. I never run fevers-I am only 115 lbs and my body temp is usually low. My doctor at the time said it was due to the morning sickness (I was on zofrom because I couldn't keep any food or liquid down). Could it be possible that I had an infection that could have contributed to the losses? I am so baffled and I keep running the possible causes through my mind. In both pregnancies I had a strong fetal heartbeat and both miscarriages occurred in the late second month (going into third). Oh, I also have the MTHFR gene mutation (one copy). I was on aspirin and 4000mg of folic acid and still lost the baby.
Any suggestions? I am just trying to educate myself as much as possible to do everything I can to try to prevent this from happening again, I know there are no guarantees.It is comforting to write and get support from others. Thank you.
Richele
