Hi

I am at present going through a slow miscarriage at 6 weeks pg...it will be my 7th mc and my 8th lost pgy (i had an ectopic in may which resulted in emergency surgery and loss of tube).

I had two children easily in my early twenties with my ex...ten years later i tried to get pg with my dh. After 3 mcs we got lucky and had our lovely dd - she is now 3. Since her birth we have failed to go past 6/7 weeks pg again. four more mcs and an ectopic have follwed...
We did have blood tests taken after three mcs but they all came back clear - the NHS consultant said that there was no explanation and it was up to me if i wanted to keep 'putting myself through this'...

I am desperate now - we are willing to go private if there are other tests/procedures out there available....PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE!!!

I've just had mmc number 3 at 7 weeks. The viability scan showed only a sac and I am taking the drug to induce a natural miscarriage. Mmc 1 and 2 were at 11 and 10 weeks, and I had a D&C for each. The results of the tissue tests showed chromosomal abnormalities. Additionally, my husband and I had blood tests to show no genetic issues and my test for thrombophilia was fine. We have a 2 year old son.

With this pregnancy, I was advised by my doctor to take aspirin (75 mg) and progesterone, just to cover all the bases. With the last two pregnancies, we got pregnant in the third cycle after the mmc.

Any insight out there? What type of treatment or further testing would make sense? I would like to explore pre-genetic screening (with IVF) and also testing for "killer cells".

I have been referred to the McNair Clinic at London Bridge but would also like to work with a fertility consultant specialising in recurrent miscarriages. Any recommendations in London?

Looking forward to hearing back from everyone..
