So over the last 17 months I've suffered 3 mmcs, I am just going through my 4th. I have no living DC.
It has nearly broken me and without the help of my wonderful family, friends and antidepressants I would be in a very deep and dark place ( although I have my moments of total despair and FML!!! ) .
I have had many many blood tests, scans etc all normal results. The foetus of the 3rd miscarriage was a sent off for genetic testing- all fine, she was a little girl. 😥 I am type 2 diabetic but it is well controlled. The only thing I haven't been tested for is NK cells which is next on my list.
My question is really which way to turn. I am
39 so my age worries me greatly. I'm not sure whether to go through the NHS and get an appointment at Professor Quenby's clinic or to go to a private fertility clinic. We are by no means well off but I feel like time is running out and I just don't know what to do. Does anyone have experience of pursuing either of these routes?
Sorry if I've rambled

I have just joined this thread. I just wondered if there is anything more to gain from a private appointment. I have one child and then 4 m/c. I have been seen at m/c clinic and started thyroxine for mild thyroid problem after 3rd m/c. All my tests were normal. Just awaiting genetics. Foetus tested at 3rd m/c and showed common chromosome problem. I always get pregnant fairly quickly after m/c. Clinic advised pastoral care when I get pregnant by local EPU. Is there anything else I should think about.

I've booked an appointment with a private clinic on 12th April- mainly to try and get extra information before my next gynaecology appointment. i also feel that I'm doing something productive if that makes sense ??
