Hi Everyone,
I'm fairly new to this site, but guess I was in the wrong area previously.
I'd just like to say how great it is to find this discussion group. The information you provided Flowerchild is fantastic. It gives me hope. I have had 4 miscarriages (no children). My first pregnancy was a partial molar one - not sure if any of you know what that is, but the other three have been "unknown" reasons (first one was only diagnosed as I had a DnC).
I was growing increasingly frustrated by all of the mc's. To make matters worse, it seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant and going on to have beautiful babies... not that I begrudge that... just hurts.
My GP referred me to a gyno after the 3rd m/c. He performed a series of blood tests on myself and husband (chromosomes, lupus, hep and not sure of the rest). They all came back as "normal", but with the lupus - it was "mildly positive", so with the last pregnancy, I was put on Cartia - low dose asprin, but still had mc (approx 2wks ago). Although with this pregnancy, I had the flu and had high temp - can't help but wonder if this was part of the reason for m/c - am I just clutching at straws??
After this m/c the gyno has basically said he can't do any more for me and will refer me to a fertility specialist in Perth. I was feeling pretty low, but after reading all these posts, I feel inspired... I want to find out the EXACT tests I had and what the results where... not just "normal". I want to know exactly what the figures are... I'm not leaving my fate in other peoples hands. With all the information - I will be better informed when I go to see the FS (haven't made the appt yet).
I guess that leads me to my question... Does anyone out there know Dr Roger Hart? He is the FS i've been recommended to, but would just like to find out if he's any good - or will I just be another name in a file?
