I am only new to this site and by no means an expert but have heard that maybe you could get your progesterone levels checked and if you are found to be low your doctor can prescribe you with a cream or suppository to use from about day 15 of your cycle. From what I have read it is the progesterone that helps build a healthy lining and keeps your bub in place.
You can purchase the cream over the counter from various health food stores (I think) but it is probably best to get checked and have your doctor involved from the start. Also I am planning on getting early scans with this pregnancy so I can (hopefully) see the heartbeat early and try to relax.
Yeah it sucks that they wait for 3 losses like this before they will do any tests. There isn't much you can do except to keep everything crossed you will not make that third MC and need testing. Testing, majority of the time, reveals absolutely nothing anyway so you may never have answers as to why this has happened.
I have had 1 mc followed by an extreme prem birth (which we lost) and another 1 MC before we finally had our DD.
All I can say is there is hope and you just need to keep positive. You will hold a baby in your arms one day, and believe me when I say that when that day comes - its amazing
thyroid - I was found to have underactive thyroid after my last m/c. Not enough to stop me ovulating, but my hormones weren't enough to sustain a pg.
Good luck!
I have also had 2 m/c and am now about week 3 into my 3rd pregnancy. I am 100% sure I am pregnant considering the size of my tummy!! (like a balloon!! - very unusual for me, it's normally flat!!) but I am yet to have a BFP. (Hopefully soon.)
During my second m/c I went to hospital and they thought they discovered my uterus as a funny shape which would effect my chances of a full pregnancy, but after going to see a specialist Gyno, then being referred for a 3D ultrasound, I was advised it is in fact normal. At that, my Gyno said they don't do any more tests until after 3 as m/c really is so common.
It's so painful/frustrating/annoying, thinking you have to get pregnant again, and go through all that again just to find it still doesn't work out, so I feel your pain.
I'm hoping this one works out for me otherwise it's back to the specialist. But, I'm trying to think positive.
I had a M/C May09. The reason turned out to be an auto-immune disease of thyroid where just the TSH gets a bit elevated. My cousin is a doctor overseas and he recommended the Antibody test and that's when I found out I had a problem which might cause problems in staying PG.
