Thread for sufferers of recurrent miscarriage

I?m 30 and hubby and I have been ttc for a year and a half now (we have a 4 year old that was conceived the same month I stopped taking the pill)
In that year and a half I?ve been pregnant 3 times and still no baby We get pregnant fairly easily but I can?t seem to stay that way. Last summer I was pregnant with twins. I miscarried the first at about 6 weeks and then the second stopped developing at about 11 weeks and I had to have a d&c. Fell pregnant again and had another miscarriage at about 7 weeks ? thankfully no d&c needed. Got pregnant for the third time but had to have another d&c at 10 weeks after saw no heart beat and my beta wasn?t at right level and cells not at right size.
After the third miscarriage the doctors were finally willing to say there might be a problem and let?s start taking some tests.
I did the whole thrombosis/blood clotting set of tests, then the trans-chromosome genetic test (and a few more genetic tests like sma and ms) and they did a hysteroscopy. The doc who did it said there was a small place on one side of the uterine wall that was a bit stuck together but not enough to justify 3 miscarriages ? but he opened it anyway.
After the hysteroscopy the specialist sat me down and said we?ve now tested for everything we know how to test for. Technically your chances of conceiving and carrying a baby are still about 60% - which is not bad doesn?t sound too brilliant to me. And in his words ?we can?t do anything for, go home and try to make a baby. If you do fall pregnant come and see me ? not that I?ll be able to do anything then either ? but it might make you feel better?
And that?s where things stand. With me feeling pretty lost and depressed and stressed ? which is not exactly conducive to baby making
lissielou ? I wonder why our docs quoted such different stats ? 71% sounds pretty good?better than the 60% that my doc gave me after my 3 mc?s
One of my friends had a beautiful little baby girl yesterday?I?m trying very hard not to think woe is me

I'm feeling optimistic too herbaceous. Me: ttc no 1 at 43. Had m/c in March 07 @ 14 weeks, m/c in July 07 @ 8 weeks and m/c Oct 07 @ 6 weeks. Saw Melanie Davies at UCH in Jan and been ttc since as tests all good. Job quite stressful & trying to chill out. Had acupuncture since Oct which has lengthened LP by 1 day. Been recommended Chinese herbs but not sure whether I want these yet. This site has actually been a lifeline for my sanity throughout & been the only real way I have found out anything; had hardly any info from NHS or specialists.

I think it would be good to have one here, too. Very much to do with conception, after all.

i could even get the ball rolling. Me, 42, four MCs since 2005, one six weeks, two at 11 and one at 13. The last two were chromosonal problems, but I don't know what caused the others. Had all the blood tests done under the sun, and was prescribed steroids by one doctor, who reckoned I had elevated killer cells, though this is a controversial diagnosis and theory.

For some reason feeling quite optimistic, if I ever get up the duff again (a year since last MC) as surely it can't happen to me again. But that's what I thought last time...

Tell me to keep my nose out if you like as I have not suffered recurrent mc's but I don't think it hurts to have one in here too if that's what people want. Not trying to fall out with anyone just a thought.
