OW - in regards to miscarriages........has she been checked for PCOS? It can cause a high rate of infertility issues......
What is PCOS? Her OBGYN stated that she may have endometreosis (however you spell it!...lol). They are not sure. They said it would require exploratory surgery and my W was not in favor of this. She is RH-, which fights off sperm cells? I can't remember, but she is RH-. They gave her pills to combat it. She was also taking prenatal pills when we were trying to conceive. She was researching on the internet all kinds of things to try to help us.

If she hasn't been checked for that, they check her ovaries with a sonogram, and test her blood - they check insulin levels, hormones and thyroid I believe. There are more tests they can do to check her fertility but some are not pleasant - there is one to check her tubes and make sure they're clear - involves injecting dyes and from what I've read is MOST uncomfortable.
I don't think she has had any of these tests. They said that after 3 consecutive miscarriages, they will start to look into what they can do and what is causing this.

Have you had yourself checked?
My W did say one day that I may be having problems. My initial response, was no way! I am healthy, I have never smoked, social drinker, I am too healthy. Then after some thought, I started to think that it would not hurt to get checked. I would be willing to get checked out. I hope that we can have more kids together. Is there a test? What do you know about it?
