Recurrent miscarriages

[lau_har1]

After having my third (natural) miscarriage over the weekend, I went to see my doctor this morning who was absolutely lovely. I couldn't help but get emotional when I was there talking to her, probably because she was so sympathetic and kind, but she has signed me off work for two weeks so I can rest up and also referring me to Gynaecology for recurrent miscarriages. Am going to push to have any investigations done before starting my first IVF cycle in September!

Was just wondering if anyone has had investigations for recurrent miscarriages before and if so what investigations did you have? X

I'm so sorry for your losses but glad your Dr was supportive. I've had 3 miscarriages now and actually going to the recurrent miscarriage clinic tomorrow so can update you then. A friend of mine has also been and from what I understand lots of blood tests will be done - check whether your blood clots correctly, egg reserve etc. I hope you continue to get the support you need xx

So sorry for what you've been through hopefully further investigations will get to the bottom of any underlying issues before your next round later this year. Xxx

Glad you are being referred and not having to fight.

Make sure they deal with recurrent miscarriages and not just a general gyne unit.

Lots of blood tests..depending on where you go, some do natural killer cells bloods tests too.

There is a place in Coventry who do natural killer cells biopsy tests.

We also pushed for karyotype blood tests and I also had a hysteroscopy to check the womb for anything abnormal.

Nothing was found for us...

Tommy's is a good website to look at too x

Sorry for your lost. I done the recurrent clinic. I might be negatives but I felt nothing really comes out of it for me. It take me nearly 2years. The end result was unexplained fertility. I wish since then someone will tell me to do IVF straight away. Now I got 1cycle funded with NHS and no more because of my age. I would say go for IVF and they will do most same test anyway along the line of journey. I wish you all the best.

So sorry for you.

Why you haven`t done it before IVF? I mean you should know the reasons of recurrent mc`s before making a next step.

Why they didn`t make it on your first appointment? Or all what they need is only your money and the result negligible?

P.S.: as I understand you were in clinic and they scheduled your program on September.

I`m right?

Hello I have been to recurrent Miss carriage clinic . I had lots of blood tests done and just waiting on my results . Xx

[Megha_Pabbi in reply to romaluna2015]

yes it's mainly the blood test that take place and reports come in the language only doctors can understand so its basically a total dependence on the doctors.

Sorry for your losses also xx

Antiphospholipid syndrome, in which anticardiolipin antibodies and lupus anticoagulant are present, is detectable in 15% of women with recurrent miscarriage.with my constant habit of continuously researching about the given topic i have got to know that Human reproduction is hopelessly inefficient. The maximum probability of conceiving during a menstrual cycle is only about 40%. One third of conceptions do not result in the delivery of a baby.1-3 But this inefficient process produces astoundingly good outcomes. The vast majority of continuing pregnancies result in the birth of a healthy human being who will, eventually, pass his or her genes on to the next generation. Miscarriages—clinically detectable pregnancies that fail to progress—are the inevitable byproduct of such a process. They are common and often remain unexplained, even after investigation. They are a source of distress for women and their partners. When a woman has had two or more miscarriages, she is likely to seek professional help, in the hope that a cause and a cure will be found.And yes sometimes you might just find the solution.

Hello yes I went to st Mary’s tommys in London for recurrent miscarriage testing after having 4 miscarriages all around the same time 5/6 weeks my body also likes to hold on the pregnancies so 3 were mmc

I was always told my uterus was bicorneate and not to worry as wouldn’t pose a problem but when st Mary’s investigated by laparoscopy they found out my womb was septate and quite bad so they fixed it with two surgeries I also had the other routine blood tests but all come back fine.. once the surgery was done I was told to try which we did and I then found I couldn’t get pregnant unlike before the surgery where I would fall easily…. I’ve just had my first round of ivf and I’m pregnant 10 weeks yesturday I’ve had two scans as I’ve had bleeding which they found is a haemorrhage common in ivf but baby is doing fine I am still worrying and anxious on a day to day basis and now waiting on 12 week scan…. But I highly recommend Tommy’s st Mary’s because without them doing the surgery other hospitals would probably still say there is nothing wrong with my uterus… I like to think I lost those babies as the blood couldn’t flow around and they didn’t implant properly x
