Hi,
It’s a long one, sorry!
I am currently going through my third miscarriage in 11 months. I am devastated to say the least.
For context I am 30F, TTC for over 3 years and have an infertility diagnosis due to PCOS/anovulation and potentially endo (still being investigated). My partner SA came back high count but low morphology, everything else is normal. (Was told morphology shouldn’t be an issue as the high count meant there was still enough good swimmers).
My first 2 losses resulted from medicated cycles. I was on 100mg clomid. This third loss was a surprise natural conception after stopping the protocol to investigate endo. My second loss was suspected ectopic so testing was going to be put in place to reduce the risk of another as endo scarring was suspected to be the cause of ectopic and potentially implantation failure.
All was going well with this pregnancy until my 6 week scan, where no fetal pole was detected and the gestational sac measured 5 weeks. I knew in my heart it was going to be another loss and sure enough I started to miscarry the very next day (yesterday). I was on progesterone pessaries from 5 weeks 3 days but didn’t change the outcome (maybe baby had already stopped growing at this point?).
I am exhausted physically and mentally. Pregnancy has never been a happy or pain free experience. I’ve always had terrible cramping and bleeding throughout. I am terrified of this happening again. I don’t think I can mentally handle another loss.
If you have had multiple losses (so sorry) and was referred to the recurring miscarriage clinic (nhs) what was your diagnosis? What testing did you have done and was there anything extra you did privately that wasn’t included in NHS diagnostic testing? I also want to know your happy endings if you finally got your rainbows.
