Recurrent Miscarriage Thread

[joey300187]

why dont u ring them and ask them what their current wait time is? they should hopefully be able to tell you that and then you might find it easier to decide what to do. xx

 

[daviess3]

I think that's what I may do! I need to check they recieved my referal anyway x

 

[MiniMomOfMany]

I've been there, again and again, loss after loss. There is life after loss. It does get better. Hold onto that hope. God bless.

 

[daviess3]

Minimum did u get a result? X

I lost twins, one to a termination that they lied and told me I needed medically for my own sake but didnt turn out to be that way. I am in the midst of a lawsuit with my doctors. then the 2nd twin survived another 2 weeks and just died at 12 weeks. I feel so broken. I would have just been so happy to have twins!! and my miracle surviving one, just died a few days ago. I am so so sad!! just needed to get that out.

so many mcs before this, and I am just heartbroken. need some hope trying to hold on.

Oh Hun Iam so sorry, it's so frustrating that all the tests come back ok but as we both know there is somthing going on.

I had my appointment. The doctor couldn't do anything, so sent in a referral for me to a geneticist 4 hours away.
She also said I shouldn't TTC when I don't know what's wrong (we're still going to TTC though). She said after 6 miscarriages, if we TTC and not know whats wrong, we're just going to have another miscarriage. I know it might sound true to most, but I already have a daughter. 3 miscarriages, then I had my daughter, and 3 miscarriages after her. My body is fully capable of having a full term baby, so I see no reason NOT to TTC.

 

[Mon_n_john]

Nicole, one reason to not TTC would be if the reason was an immunity one. For example, I have high natural killer cells. With every pregnancy my body has the potential to be even more agressive towards my next embryo, basically get even better at getting rid of the "unwanted cells". So in my case before trying again it really is best to receive treatment to bring my natural killer cells to a normal level.

I'm not saying that is what is wrong with you but I'm saying in certain instances it is best to be treated before TTC or your body can actually become more effective at having miscarriages. Messed up but true.

Have they suggested you get the immunity blood panel done?

 

[Nicoleoleole]

There were two genes that my older sister has pai-1 and mthfr and I want to be tested for those. It's blood clotting disorder things, but you can have a perfectly healthy baby without medication. I figure it shouldn't matter. I don't know about others, but I'm sort of thinking that I'll have another baby when God wants me to. Just knowing if I'm positive for those mutations just means i go on baby aspirin. hope I'm making sense? lol

 

[Mon_n_john]

You do make sense hun, whatever you feel most comfortable with you is best for you. Hugs.

Feeling sad today. Male friends partner had baby today and although I am over the moon for them. Hearing how excited he was made me think that my dh may never have that feeling. On a positive note have my consents appt for ivf on Monday so still have hope. Consultants seem to think I have just been unlucky with my losses. One early, one a twin before 9 weeks and my late loss at 16 weeks was as baby had downs. Trying to stay positive but its very hard.

 

[daviess3]

Cinders that's all good! You have your appointment, does ivf help with recurrent mc? I was wondering this myself? Have you had all mc testing? X

Reason I am getting ivf is I was already on wait list when I fell pregnant (had been trying to get pregnant for a long time). I had testing after late m/c not sure exactly what but everying came back as fine and reason baby died was due to him having Downs. Consultant seems to think I will be able to carry baby to term as body was having no problems with late loss. I am trying to remain positive as I dont seem to have a pattern as such and hope that consultant is right and I have just been unlucky and nothing is wrong. But I know from reading on here how many people have been told that and loads of m/c later no further forward. Just hoping we all get there in end.

 

[Mon_n_john]

Good morning ladies! Well, I just tested with a FR at 12 DPO and BFN so I am almost 99% sure I am not pregnant. That's okay though, I know I need to start treatment for my high NK cells to have a healthy pregnancy. I see my RE next Monday and can't wait!

On the bright side I mentioned yesterday that I ordered my complete medical records from my RE. A MC specialist and I are going to go over them with a fine tooth comb. Well, I just heard my fax machine ringing and it's my RE's office! I can't wait to analyze my chart. I have never gotten to see my labs before. Honestly, I don't know why I waited so long. It's time to take the bull by the horns!

I'll let you all know if I discover anything new when reading my file.

Coco, just quickly reading through the thread.
Congratulations huni, I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you.
I'm just sort of dipping in and out of here at the moment, but still thinking of everyone.
