We endured a 7 year struggle with 4 surgeries- 3 of which treated my endometriosis and we had our 22 month old daughter Francesca. I am forever grateful for her. She is my miracle.

We've had 5 pregnancies- 1 live birth. I also have a grown up son from a previous relationship.

2 chemical pregnancies, a late loss at 20 weeks pregnant and a miscarriage at 7.5 weeks.

I have to do another blood test. We still don't know if I miscarried already or if it's impending. The medics keep asking I've started bleeding yet- all I had was the spotting, nothing since. Should I request medical management?

Az I've now had 3 losses in a row- late loss, chemical pregnancy and miscarriage at. 7.5 weeks we have finally been referred to miscarriage specialist. It seems cruel and barbaric that one has to lose 3 babies before they will investigate but that is my CCG criteria πŸ₯²

With my late loss I had all of the infection tests and Amelia had all genetic and chromosome testing ( full post mortem) no cause was found.

I'm not sure what else they can test?

I used steroids for the early weeks with Francesca and Amelia ( who was fine until 20 weeks) and I'm sure they helped as I have elevated nk cells and ex fertility specialist recommended to have them till 12 weeks. But since the pandemic it's been increasing difficult to get a dr to agree to prescribe. Are all clinics still banning prednisone?

I also spot and sometimes bleed fresh blood with clots every pregnancy which I know isn't normal and always worries me. I take cyclogeat 400 mg but wondering if that is enough? The scan showed very thin lining so I think there is an issue with progesterone.

Before pregnancy I take Macs root, royal jelly, bee propolis, bee pollen, coq10, pre conception vitamins , fish oil, evening primrose oil and serrapetase at various points in my cycles.

In pregnancy I take 150mg aspirin, a high doze of folic acid and vitamin D as well as pregnancare. I cut my caffeine to well under limits.

It seems since Francesca I'm not able to carry a pregnancy I'm not sure why or if it's just a numbers game like ivf can be. Any advice if anyone over came miscarriages and what you did to over come it C

Hi Jess. If you are open to the suggestions I've worked with a practioner that does testing well beyond the scope of the NHS. They uncovered issues with myself and my partner. We got pregnent naturally after two failed ISCI cycles. If you want more info message me. They work with couples who have had recurrent miscarriages too.
