Hi - ive had 3 consecutive MC , 4, 7 and 10 weeks. I had tests from nhs RMC clinic and all were clear. I was on progesterone in 3rd pregnancy but MC at 10 weeks. Looking for a really good clinic in London / Essex area, any recommendations and please also share your experiences with the clinic.

I would recommend St Mary’s in London. We finally welcomed our baby after 5 losses although all of my tests came back as clear. Wishing you lots of luck and so sorry that you are currently going through this.

So sorry for your losses..I went through something similar
CRP clinic in Epsom
i had a good experience with the clinic - they gave me answers that the NHS couldn’t. All my tests came back clear with the NHS and I got told keep trying.
had my baby boy after 3 consecutive losses with the CRP clinic
Just make sure all your blood tests are within 6 months as reduces costs.

Thanks both.
@zara9780 did the clinic give you anything to support the pregnancy after you saw them, or was it keep trying. After my second MC we were told to just keep trying but now after the 3rd loss, we are not sure but want to be seen by a specialist for initial assessments as i havent had a scan via nhs and my husband has never been tested by the nhs

Another vote for CRP. They found more than NHS ever did and treated... now 14w pregnant (first time in 5 pregnancies making it this far)! I wish we had gone sooner.

Hi
so I went to CRP clinic early September 2021 and they did the initial tests that day- they have nurses onsite that do it. He started me on omega 3 / vitamin d and aspirin from that initial appointment
my husband was encouraged still to have tests done privately too as his NHS tests came back clear too. It was such a surreal appointment as I was finally sat in-front of a Dr that knew what might be wrong with me and sounded so confident in his methods.

then two weeks later he gave my results that told me it was down to immune system and nk cells.

i had started my medication with the clinic and ttc from October- I fell pregnant luckily in dec - I was on steroids (prednisone) progesterone / aspirin. From ovulation each month until it was time to take a Pt. If it was negative then stop all meds and try next month. I think the clinic said if it didn’t happen in 3 months they were going to review meds etc
I travelled to the clinic for interlipid infusions 4/8/12/16 weeks from leeds and had scans at 6/9/12/16 and 20 weeks with a specialist which is routine for the clinic. He was amazing too. I opted to have optional imaging at 26 weeks for peace of mind with the same Dr. Then once I was discharged from the clinic at 16 weeks I never contacted them again until my baby was born to let them know. I hope to return for baby 2 one day. My son is healthy and i had minimal complications at birth. I still can’t believe he’s here.

I wasn’t eligible for IVF as I could get pregnant even privately (there was a Covid backlog at the time) and I was 30 at the time. So the CRP clinic was the only place that gave me answers. I feel very lucky that I got them and my husband was happy to drive us across the country for these tests and scans-

@zara8790- thank you so much for sharing the details of your journey with me. It really does mean a lot. I'm sorry that you had to go through so much, and I'm so happy that your baby safely arrived.

Everyone, thank you for sharing your recommendations and journeys, too. Im sorry that you had to go through so many losses to have your rainbow baby. It does give me hope, and I know now what I need to push for when I go for tests, and subject to what the results are, what support I will need for future pregnancies.

This is by far my hardest life journey, but I have not lost hope and faith.

Xx
