Hello, I was hoping for some advice from those in similar situations. We have one 5yr old ds, no issues either getting pg or with pregnancy. I’m now 40. I’ve had 3 mc in the last 2.5 years, the last two were missed. Horrid. No obvious problems found in my NHS bloods, though borderline clotting issue so simply advised to have a 6 week scan next time and then heparin injections. Though they also said they didn’t think this was likely to be an issue. We decided against trying again, too uncertain and heartbreaking, going for scans. The last mc was one year ago. Decided this week we do want to have another attempt despite my fears regarding 40yrs and anamolies. Getting pg has always been immediate, it’s staying pg that is now seemingly a problem. I don’t know whether to simply try again and hope that a viable pregnancy is found at 6 weeks, or whether we should be doing more. We have started with prenatal vitamins (both of us) with a view to trying in Spring.
Part of me thinks that if it happens a fourth time we aren’t likely to try again.
Would it be worth going for a consultation privately with the hope of getting a steer, or in doing that are we commiting to follow up appts and tests that frankly we might struggle to afford, beyond an initial consultation. Is there much to be gained from a “one off” appt?
I’m rhesus negative and not sure if this impacts when it comes to trying to conceive/staying pregnant, or if it only is relevant further along in pregnancy.
I just feel like I need some consistent advice, and not for things to slip through the net. Thanks for listening.
