Recurrent miscarriages 10 times

[wishes1111]

Hi everyone

I am 28, DH is 19.

In 7 years we have lost 10 pregnancies between 5 and 9 weeks.

7 of them we've see a heartbeat at around 6 weeks but then the next scan, baby has died.

I don't know where to go from here, I've had the coil fitted to give my body a break (also have endometriosis).

My last pregnancy, I was put on clexane injections for the first time, along with 5mg folic acid, progesterone, baby aspirin as used in the previous 5 pregnancies.

All of my tests have come back normal (I haven't had NK cells etc tested) and I know I have an autoimmune disease of some kind although they can't pinpoint exactly what it is.

We cannot afford to go private and it's killing me inside, I would just love to have one healthy baby.

Does anyone have any advice? Thank you in advance x

Hello @wishes1111

I am so sorry to read what happened to you! :( it reminds me a lot of our history.

Between mid 2019 and end of 2020, I have been pregnant 6 times. 1st was terminated at 14 weeks because our baby was very ill. After that, I had 3 mc. I was referred to hospital, and they discovered a few things, including a blood clotting disease and antibodies against my thyroid. Then, I fell pregnant 2 more times, with the same treatment as yours, aspirin+heparine+progesterone. I lost these two again. Our consultant thought it was time to move quickly to IVF, cause one of the problems might be egg quality and AMH was low... 1 month after the last loss, dec 2020, we started IVF. We did 2 cycles. I ended up with 2 normal embryos (After PGS, which is basically designed to make sure the quality of the embryo is good). I am NHS funded. One embryo was transferred last week, now waiting....

Has your doctor (gyne? GP) suggested IVF to select good embryo, and at least make sure that egg quality was not the cause of your losses? Do you know if you could benefit from NHS funding? Have you asked about that? It seems that you could, but I am not too sure (we are fully covered, apart from the PGS testing that is 3K).

Hope it helps, and take care, i know it is very hard, you guys must be very strong...
