This is the first time I am sharing my story, Im at the stage where I feel defeated and I dont know what to do....I have a happy healthy 3yo little girl but I have had 3 recurrent miscarriages and I am about to have a 4th.
1st was at 7 weeks (found out at 10 week scan, no heartbeat - D&C was performed)
2nd was at 4wks 3d
3rd was at 10wks (again no heartbeat - D&C was performed)
4th Im now at 6wks 4d HCG levels and Progesterone levels very low (waiting for blood test results that I had this morning)
I had testing done on the cells for both D&Cs the first one came back as normal, the second had a chromosomal abnormality. I have had EVERY test under the sun (my husband has also been tested) and there is nothing wrong with either of us.
My OB has been very thorough with testing and monitoring throughout my pregnancies, but I have come to the point where "its just a case of bad luck" just wont cut it anymore. I have remained positive through the last 12 months, and I was just so sure that this pregnancy was going to turn out okay......
Im 34 and Im beginning to think that maybe my eggs are not viable? Has anyone got any suggestions? Should I go and see a fertility Specialist? Is there testing that can be done on a womans eggs?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated I really dont know what to do.....
I'm so very sorry for your losses you have been through so much. I lost a baby due to chromosone abnormality and went on to have a healthy baby at the age of 37. I wish I could give you some constructive advice, I just want to offer you comfort and support. Wishing you all the very best.
Thanks Dianne, its nice to get some support from people who have been through similar situations. My friends have been great, but they just dont really understand what sadness you experience when you go through something like this.
I am sorry that you have lost your babies. My brother and his partner lost 4 babies, but have just recently given birth to their first liveborn. They were also unable to find reasons for why their babies didn't survive. However, they saw a chinese dr and used herbs and acupuncture firstly to get their cycle back on track, and then also during the recent pregnancy.
My other brother and his partner also found help through 'alternative' medicine after two late losses. And another friend with premature ovarian failure is also finding alternative medicine is working for her to get her ovulating.
Maybe a naturapath or other health professional might be able to help, along with your Ob?
hi alana,
welcome to bb and im sorry to read of your m/c's. my sister had 11 before finally having my nephew, her body was attacking the foetus and she had treatment (i can find out what) and after a full pregnancy on bedrest she now has a healthy 2 and a half year old. (shes not trying again) the only advice i could give is get a referral to a fertility specialist. i really hope you get some answers and one day hold your forever baby in your arms. huge hugs rach xox
Thankyou so much for your suggestions, I was actually thinking of going to down the alternative therapy route.
Kate - Im so sorry for your brother and his wife, losing 4 babies is such a terrible and sad experience. Which state do you they live in? Im in Melbourne, can you recommend a Chinese doctor/ acupuntre?
rachel, 11 m/c...that would have been heart wrenching for your sister .
Thank you both for your support....Can anyone recommend a Chinese doctor/ acupunture Dr?
