@2021ivfagain it may sound weird to say, but I don't really mind the diagnosis of high NKC (mind I don't know if likely to cause other problems later in life) as at least there seems to be a clear issue that should be treatable rather than just the standard 'unexplained' or your eggs are just too old kind of thing, especially since the IVF transfer that ended in a chemical was a tested euploid embryo. I just wish the CRGH tests spotted that and put me on Pred, it might still not have worked, but it sounds like a potentially key issue was missed. Not looking forward to the steroids that's for sure, especially if I have to keep going for a few months before being successful, but I have to give it a go.
Honestly when I say we have no more money for IVF, I really do mean none, even if the packages are convenient and do save some money, it's still way more than what we have. I don't want to go into explaining my current financial circumstances, but we genuinely cannot afford it at all so I'll just have to take my chances with the risk of just creating lots more aneuploidy and more MC, but it's a risk I have to take and the best I can do at this stage. It will of course depend on the type of miscarriages, if they were just chemical pregnancies then I think I could easily take another half dozen, no problem, it may sound cynical to speak in these terms, but when the only option you have is to keep going, you're going to see the outcomes that cause the least physical distress as desirable ones in balance.
Good luck with the baseline on Friday, it's finally happening and I hope it's the right one for you although I appreciate you still have significant concerns with the microbiome, I hope they don't interfere after all.
@Gardenlady543 yes I am tempted to do the enoxaparin anyway, especially since I have a 3 months supply on the NHS. Having said that, I did that in my 4th natural pregnancy and for the IVF transfer and both pregnancies still failed so I don't think I'd be one of those cases for who it makes a difference, given also I was cleared of any blood clotting issues.
With the baby aspirin is just 75mg and I'm advised to take that on an ongoing basis, form the day of my first appointment last month (for the FET I was prescribed 150mg, which the consultant then removed from my plan so I didn't take it, also because of what you explained about how it affects implantation). I've come across studies showing that for women with a history of recurrent miscarriage (aka myself) it seems to reduce the risk of further MCs if taken for at least 6 weeks before conception. The clinic specifically told me to take in in aid of egg quality. I think may be something to do with reducing inflammation, which in turn should have a positive impact on egg quality. I could potentially stop from ovulation through to the 2 weeks wait as at this point the egg will have been used, to minimise any possible impact on implantation. I was also prescribed baby aspirin after ovulation with my last natural pregnancy and I wouldn't say that impaired implantation in my case as I had a BFP and positive viability scan at 6.3 weeks, before the baby stopped growing at 7 due to a confirmed trisomy 15. I think I'll continue the aspirin and maybe start the enoxaparin after ovulation, when would you recommend starting it please?
