I have experienced 3 consecutive miscarriages - the third was a missed miscarriage at 11 wks 2 ds after a heartbeat was seen at 8 wks 2ds - and therefore arranged to see a specialist at The Portland for investigation. Test results came back normal for chromosome defects, Lupus Anticoagulant (immune system) and Anticardiolipin Antibodies (blood clotting).
Just received a negative test result for compatibility between myself and my partner, which means the controversial (LIT) Immunisation Therapy has been recommended. Apparently, if results are negative this means it 'could' be the problem rather than the 100% cause. The Portland is the only place to offer this in the UK, I am lead to believe.
I would be very interested to hear from anyone else who has gone through this treatment.
Also, before we decide to embark on this therapy, which neither myself or my partner are too happy about, I would like to know that all other possible causes have been eliminated - am wondering why I wasn't tested for hormone imbalance? This is something I need to raise with the Dr, but has anyone else found this to be the problem after suffering a miscarriage so close to the end of the first trimester?
