Hi all,

I wanted to say thank you for creating and maintaining this forum!! Although I haven't written much since I've joined, I have read a lot and it helped me to understand better, feel not alone, and get some hope! Now is time to bring something back to you all - here is very shortly my journey:

After 5 years of trying and unexplained infertility (meanwhile I will be 40 this year), with IVF we got pregnant and we were so happy (January 2013)! At week 24, I got HELLP syndrome, my baby girl, Julia, died (June 2013) in my womb and I was admitted in Intensive Care not sure I will make it out! We found no underlying conditions, nothing.. luckily I recovered well quite soon.. so I went back to the IVF journey (which took us around 5 trials - frozen and the last one fresh). What I took during this second pregnancy: baby aspirin (80 mg), acid folic (4mg) and vitamin B6 (100mg) [last 2 because of mutation MTHFR], calcium 800 mg, Fraxiparine (low heparin 30 mg- a sort of lovenox) and Tirax (75mg) (my thyroid value was low). My baby boy was born without any intervention at 35 weeks and 4 days (12-03-2015), normal delivery - PE/ Hellp Syndrome free... As unexplained as all the other unexplained events in our life...

Sending all of you hope and love..
allexx - with half of my heart broken and half happy
