> [@EmAnJ](#): > > I want to say yes, but I’m not 100% sure. They ran a full repeat pregnancy loss panel on me and I _think_ that was a part of it. I’ll double check though, thanks for the link! Oh good, there is a standard for these cases. Being a guy, couldn’t be sure. Based on [this link](https://www.questdiagnostics.com/testcenter/testguide.action?dc=TS_Recurrent_Miscarriage), it looks to be heavily covered. Wasn’t sure if it had reached the point of being a common test; I was diagnosed with it 13 years ago, and some medical professionals still don’t seem to know what it is. Again, I’m very sorry, and wish you the best! ---

I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. I’m sure, however you get there, you’ll be a great mother one day. ---

I want to echo what everyone else has said. You’ve been a great support to me via PM, and someone I admire for your strength and persverence. I know there is someone or some somones waiting for your love and parenting, no matter how you get there. Sure it’s normal and necessary to grieve the loss of what you wanted, but I love that you’re acknowledging that it’s only a part of the whole picture. I never had a true wedding, but I’m no less married than someone who did. When I see and touch and love my kids every day, the pregnancy and birth part are really not at all what’s driving it. It’s the love, and the _them_. ---

Just a quick update - the tests that got lighter are now getting darker again, so I’m sure there is some retained tissue. I’ve called my fertility clinic to request another beta but they are REALLY bad at calling me back, so I haven’t heard anything today (may call again, actually). No bleeding, minor cramping. I’m mostly worried about another ectopic. Ugh. ---

> [@EmAnJ](#): > > I’m mostly worried about another ectopic. Ugh. Geez, that is the **last** thing you need! I can’t believe, given the circumstances, that the clinic isn’t calling you back. ---

So sorry to hear about this. I know you will be a terrific woman in some young person’s life no matter what form it takes. ---

I’m so sorry to hear that. But from reading these threads, I know you’ll be a wonderful parent no matter what road it takes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-i-think-were-done-playing-the-ttc-game/631501.md?page=1)
