Two consecutive chemical miscarriages

[Patpop]

Hi all,

I have recently experienced two consecutive chemical miscarriages, currently going through my second.

I don't personally know anyone who has been through the same so it would be good to hear from others. I've heard the NHS don't investigate until you have had 3 or 4 which sounds terrifying to let this possibly just happen again.

I was wondering what other peoples experiences have been after going through something similar. I'm wondering whether to go private to be prescribe progesterone and aspirin. I don't know if I can go through this again.

Thank you x

Hi OP

Sorry to read this, chemicals are gutting. You really won't get any help at all until 3 in my experience but after that magic number there isn't even a huge amount the NHS will/can do. The best thing to do in my opinion is to find out who the recurrent miscarriage specialists are in your area and see if they have a private practice. I have seen many people fobbed off by drs who don't understand but recurring chemicals are still losses and can be a sign of a bigger issue (like in my case). If you can get Lesley Regan's book on miscarriages it's a really useful guide to all the issues. Be kind to yourself it's such a shock xx

Thanks so much! Did you just ask your local NHS about the specialist reoccurring miscarriage department? How long did it take for you to get any answers? Xx
