13 first trimester miscarriages followed by full term pregnancy and now miscarrying again?

[elm26]

Hello

My Husband and I had 13 miscarriages over a 9 year period. We had some random blood tests done 1 or 2 years in that showed nothing out of the ordinary.

We eventually were blessed with our 15 month old (14th pregnancy) and now I've just miscarried again.

Does anyone have any similar stories? I know now that my body CAN do it because our beautiful DD is here, but how many more times do I keep going before giving up on having a second and final child? (We would love 2 but no more than that).

Where do we draw the line? Do we ask for more tests? Was my DD just pure luck? I'm so confused and my head and heart are in tatters.

Any advice I'd be really grateful xxxx

Hello, I just came across your post. I am so sorry for all your pain. Our stories are quite similar, but still different. I have 2 boys 8&11 and 14 miscarriages afterwards (all 7-11w) within past 6 years. It’s absolutely horrible to go through so many losses without answers. I live in Finland and here the miscarriage care is about zero, but I cooperated with doctors and researchers abroad and they diagnosed me with chronic histiocytic intervillosistis. Awful condition when the body runs an immune attack against the growing placenta and is in many cases 100% recurrent in next pregnancy. It can range from mild (later losses, iugr) to severe (1st trimester losses) and it can also be a reason for both secondary and primary recurrent pregnancy loss. The diagnosis can be made from placental pathology. No immune protocols worked for me so far and I tried many. Perhaps I should stop trying and enjoy my life, but it’s so hard to let it go, if I fall pregnant so easily. So something to maybe look into?

Did you do anything differently in your successful pregnancy? Maybe reproductive immunologist consultation could be an option for you? Intervillositis is also treated by prof. Heazell in Manchester Hospital and prof. Williams in London College Hospital, so it’s a regular disease and not experimental as eg. nk cells treatment.

How are you doing now?
