You just gotta love ob's. I went to visit my old infertility specialist's partner on Tuesday. Just to find out if there might be a reason why I keep losing babies. He said that I am what the obstetrics world calls "An Habitual Aborter". He of course apologized for it sounding so harsh. He says that is sounds really bad, but in his world abortion doesn't have the same connotation it does in mine. He also said that most women lose 1 out of 5 babies. That is average. I am above average. I said, "Well, at least I am above average in SOMETHING!" Anyway - he said that this is above his head and referred me to some big wig who writes scientific papers on Mid-trimester miscarriages for scientific journals. He is up at U of U and is in charge of some studies that are going on up there that I might qualify for. I left a message yesterday. I don't know if I necessarily want to be a lab rat. But I would like to talk with him and see if I can't get some closure or see if maybe there is some fix.
Anyway - I just wanted to write this down somewhere so I will always remember my new title in life!!!!
Speaking of babies and such, my friend Amber is "just about to pop!" heheheee... on her blog yesterday she was venting about how people feel the need to stare at pregnant bellies and compared it to men and their need to stare at breasts... I think that was pretty accurate! Anyhow - she absolutely cracked me up! I would like to pass along her advice to people everywhere about pregnant women!
"Word of advice- dont say to any pregnant person " WOW you look like your going to pop! How much longer?" or any other type of similar comment. I may look like a whale, but I bet I can still kick your ass if I wanted..."
Just please don't kick mine! I know she could even though she is only as big around as my pinky finger!! Even if she only has 30 days left!!!! I love you Amber!!!!

You are sweet.
Anyway wow- its nice to get some kind of "definition" of what you are going through huh? I hope if nothing else you will get to talk with this dr up at the U....
Well sounds like you are in for some fun adventures. We just had a fun adventure this week too!! I was 8 weeks along and lost it!!! I was kind of bummed but because it was a total surprise to begin with we are ok with it and will keep trying!!!
My infert doctor was up the the U - I wonder if it is the same man. If not (and you don't like your guy) call me. My doctor was so amazing I was thinking of staying with him and just "moving" to Utah every few years when I want to have a baby!!!
