I am mostly recovered from Lyme. I run 30 miles a week, am happy and productive life, and have a good quality of life. I’m married, and we had a sweet little girl over two years ago.

Since we had our girl, I have had difficulty getting pregnant. Then, once I was able to get pregnant, I have had two early miscarriages in the last four months. It’s been really hard.

I know I have residual Lyme, since I have some joint pain, anxiety, and stomach problems. I have gone on antibiotics after I find out I am pregnant to keep my baby from getting Lyme. It worked great with my 2 year old - I was amoxicillin while I was pregnant and breastfeeding, and she is totally normal.

But why do I keep miscarrying? Should I be on antibiotics while I’m trying to conceive? It seems as if I lose my sweet babies before even a month into my pregnancy. Could the Lyme be killing them off before I’m even on antibiotics?

I need some help... and encouragement. Have any of the rest of you had miscarriage problems? What do I do to stop this horrible problem?

So sorry to hear this! I am not sure if the Lyme is the reason.

I know I am no help, hoping all goes well in the future.

I had a friend who would miscarry early. She had a problem with progesterone levels when she got pregant. They weren't high enough to maintain the pregnancy to the point where the placenta produces the progesterone.

Maybe have your hormones checked. Or see a high risk OB before you get pregnat.

So sorry about the miscarriages. I'm sure that is really hard. :'(

Yeah, very sorry to hear of your ordeals. Just two thoughts. No energy now to post links or a better worded explanation. I might be able to edit this for "excellence" (hah!) later.

1. Not just your glucose but your INSULIN levels might have some influence. Very few doctors can do the proper testing, though.

A low carbohydrate / healthy high fat diet has helped a number who had problems conceiving due to PCOS (polycystic ovary), though not sure about the first trimester help if conceiving is not the issue.

Still it's worth looking into, this question of INSULIN RESISTANCE and if it affects you in any way.

For about 3 months I've been studying Ketogenic Diet / LCHF and many of the lectures I've seen mention this.

I will try to hunt down a good link for you if I can later yet in the meantime you might contact

Dr. Sarah Hallberg at Indiana University where she is co-director of the VIRTA HEALTH program there for ketogenic / LCHF approach to insulin conditions.

Also contact the office of Dr. Eric Westman at Duke University in Durham, NC clinic that has a similar program. Though, with the approaching hurricane, this might not be the best time.

2. Contact:

There is also a connection to the thickness of the blood and inflammation, from what I've read.

Have you tried Boluoke or nattokinase?
