recurrent miscarriers, how many of you have found a cause?

[just1moreplease]

i have noticed quite alot of post lately from women who have miscarried 3 times or more and have been told its just down to bad luck. i find this really suprising.

i have had 4 mc's since sept last yr. i have 2 dc from my 1st marriage and had no problems concieving or carrying them.

i am right at the beginning of the nhs tests, first lot of bloods all appear to be fine. i dont hold out much hope of finding an answer though.

how many of you have been given a reason for your mc and what treatment did you have?

also wondering how many of you gave up on the nhs and went private. what were the different tests you had done that werent offered on the nhs. anyone had nhs tests come back normal but then had differnt results with private testing?

was really hoping to have these tests and to get answers. i would really have a hard time getting the funds together to go private but if there is a big difference then i might not have much choice.

sorry for all the questons and the very long post! any answers gratefully received!

I’m (very slowly) having my 3rd miscarriage in a row. First 2 early- around 5 weeks, this one MMC at 8+5 (still only lightly bleeding so am hoping it happens naturally).

I have an almost 4 year old conceived easily, but had a difficult delivery with GA EMCS followed by a bad infection. I’ve had extremely light periods since I stopped breastfeeding. My feeling (and that if the EPU consultant I saw this week) is that I likely have uterine adhesions which mean abnormal placentation. I’m wondering if this MMC is chromosomal and the other 2 down to adhesions. I also have a half sibling with a clotting disorder.

I’m going to wait for at least a clotting screen and hysteroscopy before trying again, though I suspect I’ll need to go private to get them done quickly.

Hi
I had DD 1 and then 5 MCs. I had tests done privately as we had insurance and no reason was found. However I have hashimotos and coeliac which are auto immune diseases and the consultant believed that my immune system was the issue. He prescribed an empirical treatment of steroids, progesterone and heparin and this worked and DS was born. I used the treatment plan in my recent pregnancy too and DD arrived safely. I initially saw the Dr privately but the treatment was in his NHS clinic.

Thanks all for replying. I’m waiting to have the general NHS tests (was told 6 weeks since all clear of p.molar) No ones told me what I’ll be tested for and I don’t expect to get any answers really. I keep thinking about other things that are wrong with me and wondering if it all links up. I bruise so easily, fatigued a lot, get dizzy quickly, have heavy, long painful periods. No ones asked me any questions about all this. Just taken my samples and off I go. I wish more could be done for everyone x
