Trigger warning: Current miscarriage, previous losses, living child
Two days ago, we received the news at our ten-week scan that baby's heartbeat had stopped, and there was no development after seven weeks. Absolutely devastated... This is our sixth first-trimester loss (we also have a five-year-old son). I was on progesterone twice a day, low-dose aspirin, 5mg folic acid and Proceive Omega 3 and pregnancy multivitamins from positive test onwards, and was eating a very healthy diet throughout. I have never smoked or vaped and don't drink alcohol.
After the last loss 18 months ago (which I was also on aspirin and progesterone for), both myself and my husband had gone for testing at the Cork Pregnancy Loss Clinic, and all results came back normal. They just said it could be my age and egg quality (I was 40 back then and recently turned 42), and can do no more for us.
I now want to book an appointment with Dr Shehata in Epsom (I am originally from London but moved to Cork nearly four years ago, and services are a lot more limited here).
Has anyone managed to have a successful pregnancy after this many losses, and what did you do differently?
