I am *trying* to keep my head on straight, but it's hard because I *have* 2 healthy kids (11 and 12) from my first marriage. I've been remarried for nearly 7 years, and I *thought* I would just never get pregnant, then X-mas eve 2001 I found out I was pregnant, a month later I found out I had a missed miscarriage. Then I got pregnant in May 2002, and by June, I'd had another miscarriage. The I got pregnant again in December 2002, and Jan 2003 had *another* miscarriage. Now I am pregnant again and I dread it. I want to have ababy with my husband, but I am scared to death. It's almost like I keep *hoping* my period is late. Now how messed up is that? Namaste, Angel I just found you - because I’ve lost 3 consecutive pregnancies.

It got me pregnant twice (carried to full-term, no complications). And we tried a multitude of other things that did not work--just clomid; clomid with IUI; pergonal/hcg with and without IUI. But both times it was the clomid/premarin combo using ovulation predictors and regular intercourse. Have any of you with luteal phase defect tried a combination of clomid and premarin?

Scared to get pregnant again. I've got the luteal phase defect diagnosis too after a round of testing following this latest miscarriage, and my ob is pretty sure I'll do OK with Clomid and progesterone, but.... no guarantees, of course. There are no guarantees. And I can't get my mind around that, that I may be condemning my children to die by the simple act of conceiving them.
