Thank you, syran. I have read over the link you recommended before and it was quite motivational for me to get this investigating underway. There has to be a reason this is happening.
Did they do an endometrial biopsy? Just wondering if that is standard. I am worried about that one as it may affect our TTC chances that cycle (we are keen to try again after first AF, but that is the cycle they will be testing).
DH and I have had a chromosones tested, and are waiting on the results of the most recent MC. Your turner's result is interesting. Did they recommend IVF with PGD (that may be the direction we take).
I hope you don't mind me posting but I just wanted to recommend Dr Gavin Sacks from IVF Australia. He specialises in recurrent miscarriage and has an amazing success rate with women who've suffered many, many losses - google his name, I'm sure you'll find lots of info.
Thanks for your recommendation. I have read a lot of positive comments on BB about Dr Sacks and am actually having an initial consultation with him next week. I am doubling up on opinions but this is the most important thing in my life and I will go to every length to get to the bottom of this while I am hopefully still fertile.
Has Dr Sacks helped you, Willow? Did he find anything?
Hi WTH - I have no info to offer but I just wanted to say that I am really happy that you are getting the help you need to fulfil your desire to have your baby. I followed your recent journey and was very disappointed and upset for you when you lost this little baby. I personally found that taking charge of things and getting a great dr etc really helped me with my grieving process. Take care and best of luck - keep in touch and let us know how you go. You have probably noticed that in the TTC after recurrent, late or stillbirth there are a couple of other women who have gone through similar recurrent early mcs like you - feel free to join us for a chat.
Thanks, Katiegirl. I am doing everything I can. My biggest fear is this is all happening too late. I would give anything to be in my early 30's again, I know women can have babies at my age, but I guess all these D&C's and first trimesters are taking a lot out of me.
My way of coping is to be proactive so that I don't regret that I could have done more, later on.
Thanks for the invite to the TTC thread. I am so glad this pregnancy is working out for you!
WTH, I'm one of the people that Dr S has helped. He found that I have too many natural killer cells which caused my first miscarriage. We later found that I needed a lower dose of prednisone than he recommended because I also have problems with severe insulin resistance (PCOS) and the prednisone made it even worse. I'm just lucky that the lower dose seems to be enough for me. We stumbled across another possible problem with later investigations and aspirin was added to the arsenal.
For me, Dr S was brilliant and wonderful, but didn't necessarily discover the full problem. He was just too far away for us to be using as our FS. For me, we didn't get the full extent of the problem straight away (as I was using the medications anyway to treat other health problems they tended to hide things) or from one particular person, but I am a very strange and complicated case.
I was very interested in reading about your experience of Dr S. He comes so highly recommended on here I think I may be expecting too much from him. I am feeling so impatient right now.It is good to remind me he is only human and it may take a little time to get things sorted.
We have to travel 1.5 hours to see him so he will not replace my OB. I only hope I don't get myself into bother where my OB says one thing and he says another. Already my FS and OB have different ideas on what might be best for me, so I could be adding another spanner to the works. Oh well, they can fight over me
