    Unhappy I don't want this to be the third

    Hi,
    Just new to this. Felt I needed to talk to others who are (unfortunately) going through the same or similar situations.

    A bit about my situation:

    My hubby and I have been trying to start a family for almost three years. I have a very irregular cycle, going from 30 days to 36 days!
    In July 2009 we conceived naturally though lost the bub at 7 weeks.
    By Sep 2010 we had not conceived again so went to a specialist. He put us on Letrozole (Femara) which is similar to Clomid. We fell straight away.
    At 7 weeks I had really bad cramping and had scans but all was fine. At 8 weeks I was really sick with the flu.
    At 11 weeks I began to bleed and found out the baby had stopped growing and there was no heart beat. Had D&C
    After 3 months we went back on the letrozole and did this 2 consecutive months with know luck.
    Had a month off the letrozole as we waited to see the specialist again.

    Went back to the specialist who suggested we try IUI in a couple of months.

    Here is were I am at today and see if you can work it out!!
    The month with no letrozole went as normal. Did a test on day 28 and it was negative. Started to bleed day 35 which is normal. Continued to bleed, though lightly for 12 days. Rang the specialist and they said do a test. It was POSITIVE! I spent yesterday having blood tests and a scan. The scan showed a sac at about a 4 week size. Waiting on the HCG levels from the blood test.

    I don't know what to think or do, I am so confused!!!

    I really hope you have a sticky bub on board this time . The waiting and the unknown is so hard.

    Wishing you all the best

    Thanks Trish,
    So do I! I forgot to mention that when I started bleeding I took the Letrozole again! This could be another issue as it is harmful to unborn babies!
    We'll see
