Miscarriage Investigation Program Sydney IVF

[Where there's hope]

Hi

I have just suffered my second missed and UNEXPLAINED miscarriage. My first was estimated to be at 9 weeks. The second loss is estimated to have happened at 8 weeks. Both had healthy heartbeats and I took progesterone, just to be on the safe side, the second time around. I am 38 and have a DD, almost 3. Chromosones were normal for first bubba. Waiting on results for the second.

My OB is referring me to the Miscarriage Investigation Program with Sydney IVF. Was wondering if anyone out there can share their experience - did the program help, what was involved, has it lead to a successful next pregnancy?

Thanks - I really hope to hear from you!

Dear WTH

I am so sorry to hear of your losses. This pregnancy thing can be very frustrating!!!

I have had 3 miscarriages in a row and have had lots and lots of tests (though Repromed - fertility clinic in Adelaide), which I assume is similar to the place you will be going to.

Though it is so good to be armed with information, I know that the information others have given me regarding testing has been a big help.

The link I found most useful https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...formation.html has helped me to understand testing.

Hope this helps.

HI Syran - did they find anything? What additional info from others helped you.

DO SHARE!

Thanks!!

Sorry I sent the response before I was finished.

See previous response for extra info.

No so far they havent found anything, except that my Chromosones (through blood test) have a small percentage of 45X (turners mosaic). Which the fertility clinic has done further testing on this (through skin biopsy - and still awaiting results) as I have none of the symptoms of turners mosiac (eg short, manly etc) and they dont think this is correct.

My hubby also had extensive testing (similar to mine) and nothing was found with him.

Other than that, I keep on going...... my 2nd miscarriage was also tested for chromosones and nothing was found.

Very frustrating as I feel like I am getting older and want to have my first child before it is too late.....

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).

Cheers

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.
