Rainbows after recurrent MC?

Hi everyone. I had my third miscarriage on 5/11/21. I had a missed MC at 10 weeks (grew to 7), a missed MC at about 8 weeks (grew to about 5/6), and a missed MC that was a pregnancy of unknown location so I guess it didn’t grow much at all. I’m worried that the fact that I’ve lost my babies earlier each time might mean my chances of having a baby are even lower. So far, tests have found no reasons and I’m awaiting the NK cell blood test. Can anyone share their experiences of how they got their rainbow and when your MCs occurred? Thank you.

I should add that I’m 26 and have no children.

Hi, I don't have any success stories yet but just wanted to say you're not alone. I've had 2 miscarriages this year. One at 6 weeks and a mmc at 9 weeks but baby stopped growing at 6. I don't have any children either. I'm currently having the biopsy tests for nk cells so intrigued to see the results.

Just jumping on for solidarity and to hopefully hear some success stories

Hi I’m a few weeks from birth. I had 4 mmc all about 9 weeks. For this pregnancy I did immune testing with dr Gorgy and threw every treatment at it. Prednisone, clexane, aspirin, intralipids etc he tests for more than just nk cells. I had nk cell treatment b4 and still mc. At 26 , you are very young to have so many mc in a row. There’s definitely something going on. Explore immunes
Also have you had a full blood count to look at iron, thyroid, vitamin d etc ? Also check your blood clotting ( anti phospholipids and related tests) if you can’t afford private care the gp can refer you to recurrent mc clinic , or dr Shehata ( not all gps can link to him)
Best of luck ! Let me know if you want more info

@chasingtherainbow1 I’m sorry to hear about your losses. Fingers crossed that we both get our rainbows 🤞🌈

I’ve had all the tests except NK cell testing. I’m having that through Amanda Tozer in two weeks so I hope I get some answers. 😭 Congratulations on your rainbow! 🌈

My baby is 12 weeks now after suffering recurrent miscarriages over 18 months I genuinely never thought I’d have a baby.
I tested borderline for a blood clotting disorder so was given blood thinners from 6 weeks and my progesterone levels were very low although within normal range. Have you had your 21 day bloods taken do you know what your progesterone levels were? They like it to be over 30 to confirm ovulation but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s high enough to be able to sustain a pregnancy.

Good luck x

I had three mmc. None of the tests showed anything and I was offered no treatment.
My fourth pregnancy was successful and I now have a 2 year old. I didn't do anything differently so assume it had just been bad luck.

Hey OP there is a thread on here with loads of people who have had NK testing and have their rainbow baby - Immune/NK cells - pred thread 28 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4290124-immune-nk-cells-pred-thread-28

I'm so sorry you're also going through this ❤️
