Bicornuate uterus - mc

[AM17]

Hi all,
Sadly I’ve suffered 3 recurrent miscarriages within 10 months, 1st no heartbeat at 8week scan (baby was around 5-6 weeks) second mc at 9+4 seen heartbeat at 6+5 and third no heart beat at 8 week scan (baby around 5-6 weeks). I’ve just received cytogenetic lab results for the 3rd and nothing ‘untoward’ was found.

Before my second loss I was diagnosed with a partial bicornuate uterus, this was during the scan where we seen our babies heartbeat. I was told I’d be under consultant care and sent on my way - no further information. I then like many ended up googling and read so many scary articles relating to BU. My midwife told me not to worry but it’s a waiting game ‘fingers crossed’. I then lost the baby.

I promised myself I wouldn’t get so worked up during the 3rd pregnancy and lost that one too.

I wondered if anyone else had gone through this/ similar and found that their bicornuate was a result of recurrent mc?

So many articles say it causes MC and so many say it causes 2nd trimester MC.

I’m so confused and worried.

Any advice/ experience would be greatly appreciated!

I'm so sorry for your losses ❤️ its completely devastating. I have had multiple losses and was initially diagnosed with a bicornuate uterus but it's actually arcuate but I've been told it isn't related to my losses.

Have you been referred for recurrent miscarriage testing? They check things like your thyroid and blood clotting factors. All my tests were clear so we went private after my 4th loss and I have been diagnosed with an overactive immune system. Sadly my recent miscarriage was when I was on a full immune protocol, so either the treatment failed or my baby had some other issues (waiting for our cytogenetic results).

Definitely push for additional testing via your hospital, or if you can afford it, look onto private options as nhs tests can take a long time sadly xx

I’m so sorry for your losses. I hope you’re coping okay. ❤️

I have my first appointment coming up soon with the RMC, I had considered going private for everything but can’t seem to find anywhere in Newcastle. I’m quite keen for NK Cell testing too - I just want peace of mind and everything tested.
My GP tested my thyroid after my 2nd loss and it was normal but unsure weather the RMC are able to find anything more than the GP tests?

I can’t believe how poor miscarriage treatment actually is and the lack of support available - so I’m truly grateful that’s you’ve taken the time to respond - thank you.

I hope you receive some answers ❤️
