I have had 3 miscarriages and have been referred to see a specialist but will be a long wait list. Due to the long wait I asked my gp for some blood tests in the mean time. After going back and forth with the gaenecology unit and my GP, finally they said they would book me in for blood tests and asked what I wanted. Ive asked for Progesterone, vitamin d, thyroid, folic acid....is there anything else you would suggest? This is my third but second recurrent miscarriage, I had a chemical pregnancy, a 3 year old + 2 recurrent miscarriages. Im 33 with no health issues.

You might have to push for it but ask to be tested for protein c and protein s deficiency (blood clotting disorders) as there is some evidence that these are associated with higher risk of miscarriage. I was diagnosed with protein c earlier this year and only found this out while researching them. Good luck, hope you get some answers.
