What?! I don't even know what to say, other than I didn't know that was possible. I've had 3 mc's and I think I would stop after like 8 but I thihk most women eventually have a baby...
How old are you? Any children? I assume you've had treatment for some time now?

Jesus, you poor thing, I can't even begin to imagine.

What hospitals/fertility specialists have you seen?

[rubyslippers]

are you being treated long term for the clotting disorder?

ie any long term meds and/or aspirin?

without sounding rude or ignorant are you sure you have been PG each time? Have you had a +ve pregnancy test with each?

i have a tendency to clot but i do not have a recognised syndrome - i am on heparin and aspirin and am 21 weeks PG

pinky, i'm stunned, lost for words.i think you've showed amazing courage keeping going and keeping trying. i hope you get a baby - i have heard wonderful stories from people who refused to give up so maybe one day you'll be lucky

Pinky I'm also lost for words. Can I recommend you join a thread I'm on. Its a group of women who met on a miscarriage thread and are trying to move onwards and upwards. Its a happy thread, but lots of the people on it have have at least 4 miscarriages. There's a lot of knowledge on there about various weird and wonderful treatments people are having on NHS and privately. I know a girl on there called 4everhopeful has just had a blood transfusion of her DH's blood to prevent miscarriage, certainly something I've never heard of before.

Pinky, im gobsmacked. I have had several early mc's too (about 9 altogether) and an ep, but I cant imagine what you must be going through. have you tried progesterone treatment?

Hello again,
i wondered if you had considered going to a clinic where they test indepth for immune issues, LWH and St Mary's do not go indepth in to the chicago tests (level 2) which looks at issues such as th1/th2 etc and use harder drugs to try to overcome the nk cells such as ivig, intralipids, humira alongside the prednisolone?

CARE at Nottingham, Dr George Ndukwe
and
the ARGC in London specialise in these tests.

Hope all goes well for you though, keeping my fingers crossed for you (and toes)!!!
XXX.
