Hi there. I have recently experienced my 3rd mc in a row, in 3 consecutive years. I have a 10yo already. I seem to fall pregnant easily and the first 2 mc ended at 6 weeks, but the recent one went to 9.5wks, we even had a scan at 8 weeks and saw the hb and everything looked great. At 9 weeks my symptoms stopped suddenly so I went for a scan and they confirmed no hb. I was due to go for blood tests at the hosp this week to try and find out what's going wrong but with this Covid19 my apt has been cancelled. I am 37 this year and worried about waiting til this blows over and getting the tests before trying again, as I feel like my time is running out. The only thing I did differently in the 3rd pregnancy that I hadn't done in the others was take pregnancy multivitamins and baby aspirin, is that maybe why I got a bit further? Maybe I didn't take enough vitamins, maybe I need more Vit D? These are all the questions running through my head. I'm torn about what to do; do i wait for tests, risk that being months away to be told the results show nothing and I've wasted all this time, or do I try again and up my vitamins or aspirin and hope for the best? Any advice welcome!!

Hello,
I am very sorry about what you are going through. Your story is quite similar to mine. I am 38 years old, I lost a baby at 14w last year, followed by 3 miscarriages (one needing surgery), the last one was last weekend.
My partner and I are completely alone. It is like no doctor cares. I had to go to France (I am French) after my 3rd loss to get some blood tests done. Cause no one cared here. Results came back abnormal, but i was told to try again, which we did. And I lost this 4th pregnancy again.
To be honest, the lack of vitamins would not cause your mc, you can be reassured about that.
What should we do to be taken care of, you and me? That is the big question. I am exhausted by the constant figths to get some analyses done, despite losing 4 pregnancies in 10 months.
I think they really don't care, or maybe being French is not helping in the actual political context. Honestly, I am questionning everything now...
Take care of you,
Soph.
