Hi everyone, as usual I’m just looking for some hope and advice. I find this journey to lonely and feel like I haven’t got anyone to share with so really appreciate this community🤍
We have had 6 recurrent miscarriages and are being referred for NHS IVF, which I don’t feel is our answer but the route they are taking us down. I feel personally there is an immune aspect to my issues. I have reached out to a private clinic and have done one unsuccessful cycle of steroids and progesterone from 3dpo and then heparin injections if I have a positive test. I also had a 2 week course of doxycycline.
We have however had an IVF appointment with the consultant to discuss the plan. My miscarriage bloods and basic semen analysis were all normal. It’s my AMH which has worried me as that came back at 10, I am 33yrs old. This blood test was 6months ago so also unsure how fast it declines.
The consultant said if my AMH was higher he wouldn’t actually recommend IVF as we’ve conceived so many times (what I’ve felt all along) but as it’s on the low end of normal he’s recommending IVF so we have embryos stored before my reserve is too low. I did mention steroids etc but he said there isn’t much backing for them and also said my clotting profile was normal. He also said the only drug they give during IVF is progesterone which I’ve had for 3 pregnancy losses already so that isn’t my magic answer either.
So now I just feel even more like I’m running out of time, I still don’t know what is causing all our miscarriages and now feel like we have less time to find the answer 😓 I’m also worried that maybe I will have missed the boat and if we had got to the cause of what the issue is we would have our family now.
I think im just pouring my heart out on this post as I said I don’t really have anyone to talk to. My husband tries to be supportive but he also isn’t concerned about my AMH as he says it’s normal but doesn’t understand the low normal part 🙈
Any hope or advice would be great, thanks xx
