I am not sure what my doctors have tested for, but after my 3rd miscarrage I went through 8 months of testing. After choosing a RE, she put me through even more tests. I did ask about any further testing that could be done after this last miscarrage and both my OB and RE said that there was nothing more to test for.

The only things that came up was that I have a gene that depletes my body of Folic Acid and both my tubes were blocked. They were able to clear one tube but not the other. I am now on a perscription high dose folic acid twice a day for the rest of my life. Low folic acid can cause heart problems later in life along with some other side effects. I alway forget to take the second dose at night. I just finally set an alarm on my palm to remind me. I am also on a baby asprin a day for the rest of my life.

I gained 15 pounds with this last pregnancy and I am having troubles getting it off before I start this next cycle. I am also going to stop drinking coffee and eating chocolate before I start meds. I am hoping that starting earlier on a better diet and no caffine will improve my chances. It will be easier this cycle since there are more fresh fruits to choose from and I don't drink as much coffee in the summer time anyway.

Life is not as stressful these days as when I went through my last cycle. I am hoping that will help as well. I am trying to make time in my schedule to meditate more, but it is hard to get everything in in one day. I tried meditating on the bus and train to and from work, but I end up falling asleep. I guess I need my rest more than meditation.
