I have had 4 losses this year. One at 6.5 weeks, 2 chemicals at just over 4 weeks, and the last one at 5 weeks.
When I went to my ob/gyn here in Canberra after the 3rd loss, he was very positive and said there was a good chance it was bad luck as I am 39 and some of my eggs may not be of great quality. He had me tested for lupus syndrome, progesterone (at day 21) and some other things, and my husband and I also had our chromosomes tested. Everything came back normal. And then a month or so after that last appointment, I miscarried again (whole overseas) at 5 weeks.
I have another appointment on 17 December and I feel that I will have to be firm and assertive about getting more tests done. At this point, we may give up ttc no matter what the outcome. I personally feel that I am getting older than I'd like to be with a newborn, but more importantly I don't think I can face more loss. I also worry about having a sticky baby and then discovering that it had massive problems when doing routine testing... I think it would completely break me. Also DH and I at first did not want any children, so we have always been slightly on the fence so now I am getting back on the fence again after all of these losses. It's been devastating.
Anyhow, I appreciate this post more than I can tell you!! I have copied all of the info into a document and I will bring it with me to my appointment.
