Hi ladies, I do feel like I am intruding but really I wanted to ask some advice from Flowerchild if that's okay.

I feel really silly asking as it may sound half panicky/half clutching at straws but I hope you'll understand.

I have four boys, all conceived easily with fairly trouble free pregnancies. But I have had two missed miscarriages - one was at 16 weeks (but baby dated at 12w3d) and then again at 14 weeks (but baby dated at 11w5d). I am not young (42) and I am worried about what I have read about antiphospholipid (sp??) syndrome.

Basically, I have read that it develops when you get older and can cause recurrent miscarriage and fetal death. I am now worried that I may have this as my pregnancies in 2005 and 2006 were fine. Would this have shown up in my BT that was ordered before my D&C?? Do you think I should ask to be checked out for it?? Do I fit the 'criteria'??

I'm so sorry to sound panicky but I can't understand how I can carry 4 children and then miscarry twice in 8 months at 3 1/2 - 4 months.

Please can you let me have any info you have or tell me whether I am being silly and trying to 'catagorise' something that may just be bad luck.

Thanks loads and sorry again

Alex
