Has anyone had genetic testing after a miscarriage ? I had my third miscarriage a few months ago and wondered if they get in touch if they have found anything ? Thanks

I went privately after my first MMC to test for blood clotting disorders, as I had a PE (blood clot) after my first pregnancy.

Came back negative, but I’m going to take baby aspirin and blood thinners anyway as people seem to have success with that.

I am waiting for the results of my MMC in August. The scans showed space suit oedema, and the heart stopped in the 5 days it took to be seen by foetal medicine.

I was told it takes 3 months and they will call with either a face to face or telephone consultation.

Yes I did. I had the loss in May and went to see the recurrent miscarriage consultant in August and she told me then that there was nothing amiss genetics-wise with that pregnancy. But I think it’s one of those “if it’s normal we won’t contact you” scenarios, which I understand is to save NHS resources, but is incredibly frustrating when you’re waiting on results.

Hospital said they had our results and will be in touch with a letter for an appointment to see a specialist. I don't know why they can't give them to me over the phone. It's agonising not knowing

@yellowroses7 have you had your appointment through?

I just had a telephone consultation where we found out our little girl had Turner's syndrome.

Hi @BeautifulBirds
I'm so sorry to hear about your little girl x
I was told a month ago i had an appointment letter in the post with a consultant at the Miscarriage clinic as they had my results but I've had nothing! I rang last week and was told
Their was no appointment in the system for me and I will get a phone call back this week it's really pissin me off that it's been nearly since months since my miscarriage and they can treat me this way I kno they are busy but I feel like I'm being fobbed

Oh, @yellowroses7 what an awful situation. I'll keep my fingers crossed you get that call this week.
