Recurrent Miscarriage and Fetal Death Information

[AustraJoey]

I'm new here but have had 6 m/c. I have had all the tests done that my Gynae and I can think of(and DH had his chromosomes and sperm tested)but so far, nothing untoward except DH has 8 -11% normal morphology which is or isn't a factor depending on who I talk to and I am Oestrogen dominant. The last 2 m/c were via D and C so that the baby could be tested. Only the last m/c was a successful test of tissue taken - showing a boy with trisomy problems.

I do have children, but the m/c make me want to have a baby more and more each month. I've been TTC for 3.5 years with 4 m/c in that time.


Feel like we've tried everything, diet modifications, TCM, Acupuncture, Sharkeys( not recommended - bad experience) eliminating coffee, alcohol , numerous supplements, herbs, goji berries, hypnotherapy etc etc.
My age is now part of the problem but I'm still TTC and finding it emotionally very difficult ow.

Austra Joey,

I am sorry to hear of your losses. Have you seen an FS? In my opinion Ob/gyn's just aren't across all the in-depth issues, especially with recurrent m/c. Have you had genetic testing?

As you live in Sydney I suggest a referral from your GP to the recurrent mc clinic at Sydney IVF. They can really help you - they test you and your partner for everything.

Thank you, thank you, thank you flowerchild for this thread. I copied the info and printed it out so I could read it at my leisure.

Did you have these tests done when you were TTC or when you were actually preg?

do they need to be repeated at a later date? or do you just test only once?

Good luck to you and everybody on this site.
