Thought I'd share my recent medical drama albeit unrelated to my infertility issues. My knees have been causing a lot of pain so I've taken to wearing stiff braces on both legs. Not comfortable but it seems to work. If that wasn't funny looking enough, I went on vacation to visit my parents and accidentally let their dog out. While running after him, I took a nasty fall and sprained my hand. So add now a hand brace. And here's the kicker. I was out enjoying a hot day in the water and rubbed my eye too hard apparently because I ended up in the ER for a corneal abrasion. Add now an eye patch. Seriously.
Visited the Hematologist yesterday. 21 vials of blood taken. Should hear back in a couple days if he found anything. If all clear, I am good to go for IVF # 3.
Thought I'd also share I've now met with three MFMs at different establishments. It's interesting because they all have a different take on the loss. But the general consensus is the bleeding acted like a wick that lured infection into the uterus. Once infection set it, the body reacted to save itself and remove the pregnancy by rupturing the membrane. In the absence of bleeding, they say I have a good chance of carrying a pregnancy to term. The chance of this happening again is between 16-20%. Not an insignificant statistic by any means but here's hoping the odds are in my favor next time.
