Hi ladies, so I guess I was hoping for some sort of support or advice.
I have wonderful 4 year old boy which I gave birth to aged 36. For the past 2 years we’ve been trying in and off to give him a sibling but I’ve had 5 miscarriages…2 at 7.5 weeks, then 3 between 4-5 weeks.
Ive had pretty much everything tested inckuf

…including an nk cell blood test through amanda tozer which came back fine.

Im 40 soon, should I just assume my eggs are all bad quality? Just feeling so upset and hopeless.

I'm sorry OP, that's really tough.

The only thing I can suggest is aspirin. I started taking it age 37 after seven losses, carried at 38 and again at 39....

I took 75mg a day, from when I started trying until day before section.

Self diagnosed, but it certainly worked.

Thank you for replying x
So all my bloods came back ok as not sticky but I tried aspirin last time, the consultant said wait until a positive test though before starting it as it can interfere with implantation. Clearly that was not the case with you though! That’s amazing you had two successful pregnancies with it ❤️
I think I’m just wanting answers that nobody else can give me! Not sure whether to try ivf…I’ve already spent thousands on tests though. It’s never ending!

Well hindsight is a wonderful thing, so for me I wish I had never had IVF. I did not mention that because it was so traumatic. Like you I actually was falling pregnant, just not carrying my babies. I had two cycles of IVF after no positive for a year and both failed. I then had a further two miscarriages naturally.

I was then discharged and told it was just not going to happen.

I started the aspirin myself and here we are.

Yes my bloods were ok, everything was ok. Just no answer.
