Hi Susan
I am totally amazed and sad to read that you also have had a Trisomy 17 loss. We sound so similar!~ My last loss was a Trisomy 17 which my specialist assured me is extremely rare- he has never seen it in all his years of practice.

This baby is the only one to have been successfully tested over the years.
My first 2 pg m/c at 9 weeks, the firts one was triplets whose heartbeats slowed and stopped over a few days. That was in 1995, as was the next m/c. Then I had children but felt like I really wanted one more baby.
I have been ttc this baby since Oct 2003 when I got pg easily- first go but m/c at Christmas 2003. Then I had a break of a few months, and ttc again but after many months and tests was unable to conceive. A polyp was discovered and removed, then Clomid was tried for 3 months on the lowest dose- half a tablet! of the lowest dose but no pg. Then I started the natural path with AP, Vitex and Chinese Herbs due to my age and got pg 3 more times in 2005 & 2006 every few months but lost the pg at 9 w 1 day or thereabouts even after seeing a heartbeat.

My Gynae and a MMC specialist have tested me and DH for everything as described above. These Drs feel I should keep ttc naturally if I can emotionally handle it until I'm successful. I am keen to keep going most days as I believe it's worthwhile but sometimes the horror of 6 m/c overwhelms me. I still also believe there is a chance, so keep ttc.
Rgds, Jo
