Multiple early chemical pregnancies

We’re currently seeing an nhs fertility clinic as 2 years and no baby, but I’ve had multiple early chemicals (as in just faint positives around 8-10dpo that fade then disappear), plus one chemical that lasted until 5 weeks. Doctor is doing a blood test for lupus anticoagulant, I’ve done a vaginal Microbiome test, and we’re thinking of doing further semen tests.

has anyone had success after being in this position - what worked?

and did you stay with the fertility clinic, or is this more a recurrent loss clinic thing? It’s difficult as I’ve never had a “clinical” pregnancy, but it seems fertilisation is occurring and there’s an issue around implantation time

I don't have experience of this but wondering if progesterone has been looked into? Maybe falling too quickly after implantation?

Yes possibly - only had 7DPO progesterone tests, dr thought this might be the case so have progesterone to take from positive test and I’m on letrozole which has boosted my progesterone 🤞🏻 the combination didn’t work this cycle (faint lines 8/9dpo then disappeared), I wonder if progesterone is better from ovulation (this is what I did with a previous dr but current on said from positive test)

@Muddysocks1 I think I was told to take it 5 days post LH surge on ovulation tests.

Please tell me you are still here. I'm desperate to hear more about your vaginal microbiome test. I've heard it helped someone get pregnant naturally after years of IVF. I'm thinking of trying it and getting a consultation where this lady did. Where did you get yours from?

I did mine with Daye online, then did a repeat with Regenerus. Daye is easy though and about £100!

however: our issue turned out to be chromosonal, I did a karyotyping test (chromosome analysis) which found a balanced translocation which is the cause of our early losses. We are now going to have PGT-SR testing. I strongly recommend anyone with multiple chemicals or early losses has this test
