Unexplained Recurrent Miscarriage

[Elliee0810]

Hi Everyone 👋

Unfortunately I am a recurrent miscarrier (11, 8,6 and 9 weeks) within the last 18 months. My last miscarriage was whilst I was on Progesterone. I’m 27 years old, healthy etc.

My NHS test results have all returned as normal so I’m hoping to be referred to Tommys now. I also enquired at Warwick’s Implantation Clinic but sadly this isn’t accepting new patients.

I feel very stuck, hopeless etc. Does anyone have any ideas on what to try next? Anyone have any success stories with unexplained miscarriages?

Thank you so much!

So sorry to hear this. I am currently going through my sixth miscarriage at 42 (I started trying at 34). My second pregnancy was a healthy boy, who is now five. I was also on progesterone and aspirin for the last two losses, as well as high-dose folic acid. I think you are doing the right thing by going to Tommy's: we went to the equivalent here in Cork and all our results came back clear. They blamed my age (of course, that is not relevant in your situation), but I am going to the CRP Clinic in Epsom at the month to see if they can help us further.

Sending you warm thoughts - it is so hard to go through this time and time again, and remarkably few people understand.

@TammyinCork I’m so sorry for your losses, it’s heartbreaking and doesn’t get any easier 🫶🏼
Thank you for your reply! I’ve researched into the CRP clinic and the reviews seem good. Fingers crossed that works for you!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Did you have karotyping done after any of your losses to see if you might have a genetic abnormality? You and your partner.

@Moosey898
Thank you for your comment! We’ve not had karyotyping. Is this on the NHS?

@Elliee0810 yes it is - they test the tissue from the pregnancy to see if there's a chromosome issue. If there is, then you and your partner would get tested to see if it is hereditary. I had it after my third loss, they found out that the pregnancy had trisomy 15, we both got tested and whilst I didn't carry trisomy 15 I did have other chromosome abnormalities that could have an impact on fertility and increase the chance of miscarriage.
