Those sound good! For some reason regular prenatals make me nauseous so I switched to gummy, but I guess I could try other brands of non gummy too. I’m not far off that price point for the gummy ones! I’ve been on prenatals for 8 months so probably have good reserves.
I know my risk because I had an appointment with a recurrent miscarriage team before I had dd. My ectopic risk is so high because I had a previous ectopic (which in itself is a risk factor!) but I opted to save my tube, so my right tube now has scarring from the ectopic, which puts me in the highest risk category. It’s actually slightly higher again because I’ve also had a c-section but that’s not as significant as the scarring on my tube.
My miscarriage risk is based on the fact I’ve had three miscarriages (in addition to my ectopic) - there was nothing found in my testing, which is actually bad because most things they “find” can be treated, whereas mine is likely to either be one of the potentially thousands of clotting disorders which they can’t really diagnose or treat, or some sort of chromosome issue (which is most likely as there is a strong family history) - the fact that two out of three of my losses were further on and we saw a healthy heartbeat previously on the second one is also not a good thing.
My first pregnancy measured 6.5 weeks at 8.5 weeks (but I could have miscarried any time up to about 8 weeks as apparently the baby shrinks after a loss) and my second had healthy scans with heartbeat at 6. 7 and 8 weeks, but then at 10 weeks it was only measuring 8 weeks and a few days.
I then had my ectopic which, horribly, had a heartbeat at just under 6 weeks. I actually miscarried the ectopic pregnancy too which is really unusual so chances are the same issue could have been in that baby also. I was treated with chemotherapy (methotrexate)
My next pregnancy was dd.
I had an early loss in October 2020 - I was 5 weeks by lmp so far earlier than my previous pregnancies and I never got a good positive test, plus it was less physically painful. So it looks like I’m now suffering from something different than what caused my earlier losses!
I’m only 31, overweight but not majorly (bmi 27 but I do a lot of walking and have a semi active job as a teacher) and I eat a healthy diet, don’t smoke, don’t drink excessively. I’m in really good health otherwise.
Here is a screenshot from the miscarriage association who are a really good point of reference.
