Started bleeding again this morning, going for bloods later and repeat on Wed, also being referred to recurrent miscarriage clinic. Im so so upset and angry xx

Really sorry for your loss. I have also had 3 in a row. Has your partner had any tests? DNa sperm fragmentation more than doubles the risk of miscarriage and many doctors ignore it

My OH has 52% fragmentation the norm being 15% and NHs doesn't even do the test unless you do IVF - so for them I would be unexplained.

Hope you find the answers soon and have a healthy baby

Sending you my deepest of sympathy. I know exactly how you are feeling.
A recurrent MC clinic sounds like a good way to go. I was referred to St Mary's in London. I am meant to be going next week. I unfortunately I fell pregnant before I got there. If I loose this little one I will be heading straight through their doors.
They do many tests that normal hospitals do not do. I would hope that they also do sperm tests. The NHS seem to over look this issue so much.
Thank care and I wish you every success at the clinic

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is awful, we had four before our daughter and it was so hard. I hope you can get a referral to an RMC soon

I'm sorry for your loss.

I had 3 losses followed by my beautiful rainbow. I am now on my 4th loss and hoping for another rainbow.

I completely understand how you feel. I have had 3 losses in a row.. my 3rd being in April this year and I just don't have the strength or courage to call and book my referral for the recurrent miscarriage clinic yet.

After my loss in April, 5 woman on my department announced their pregnancies within the fortnight (usually we have 1, maybe 2 every few years). Its hard and it feels SO unfair. But the pain will get better and you will find your own way of getting through each day.

Mine was counselling (didn't work) and then alienation of anyone pregnant or with a baby (didnt work) and now I am just honest with people about how I feel and when they say insensative things and so far, its worked the best by far. I turn my loss dates into facts, my trauma into facts and that helps me detach myself when I talk about it.

I really hope you get your answers and when I have the courage, maybe I will too.
