Results back from genetic testing - nothing.

[peepsypops]

I had my third MMC in January and finally the consultant called me today to deliver the results of the genetic testing.
She told me that they couldn’t determine any result because of “maternal contamination” ie from what I understand they couldn’t differentiate what was mine and what was the baby’s.
I’m just at a loss. My private guy told me to ideally wait before trying again to get results and there’s a big fat nothing back four whole months later.
I knew there was a chance it might come back like this, but I was just hoping for some sort of closure or inkling as to what has happened here. I have a healthy three year old - how can it be it’s just “bad luck”/“keep trying” all that crap?
I’ve been on the aspirin, progesterone and for the last one clexane so it’s not like there is an obvious solution to this.
I think I’ve been watching too much tv/Myleene Klass/looking online but I’m so thoroughly FED UP about how awful the level of miscarriage care is within the NHS. This has been going on for two years now, i was always told to wait at least at three MCs you’ll be taken seriously - this is serious? Not to mention the 1 year + wait for the RPL clinic. 😞

Hi,

I’m so sorry reading your post, I’m in a really similar position — 3 MMCs in the last year and also waiting on genetic results from my recent D&C, 3 weeks ago. One of my biggest fears is getting “no result” after waiting all that time because you just desperately want something that explains it all. I've had recurrent miscarriage bloods done and they were all normal

I completely understand what you mean about how can it just suddenly be “bad luck” when you already have a healthy child. I have a 3 year old too and I keep thinking the same thing. It’s so hard mentally when there’s no clear answer & being told to just keep trying

Just wanted to reply in solidarity really 🤍

Thank you so much @BoldReaderfor your reply. I’m so sorry for your losses and that you are going through this also.
Totally, I just can’t help but believe that there is something at play here - I’m terrified to try again in case of the very real possibility of this happening a fourth time.
I’m handing in a sample for a ureaplasma test tomorrow to my private gynaecologist and I’m going to schedule an appointment with him to go over what I haven’t explored yet. I’ll let you know anything I find out in case it’s worth exploring.
