A positive attitude is a good attitude! I'm doing ok, looking forward to moving past ectopic and doing further testing, but one day at a time!

I had the following tests - Not all the investigations are specific to recurrent miscarriage - some are general health checks, while others are part of on-going programme of research on recurrent mc

* Chromosome studies - this is based on a blood test, and both partners are tested.
* Specific immunological testing (conducted as part of our on-going research programme)
*Natural killer cells - numbers and activation Cytokines - especially MIC-1and Th1 and Th2 cytokines
* Auto-immune screen - includes anti-nuclear antibodies, and anti-dsDNA antibodies
* Infection screen - a vaginal swab for bacterial vaginosis, and cervical swab for Chlamydia
* Primary antiphospholipid syndrome (so-called "sticky blood syndrome") screen - including anticardiolipin antibody and lupus anticoagulant.
* Full thrombophilia screen (including Factor V Leiden mutation)
* Pelvic ultrasound scan - usually transvaginal
* Day 3-4 blood test for a hormonal profile to include luteinising hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and thyroid function.
* A biochemical profile to include a blood sugar, kidney and liver function.

Babytots - They think your mcs have been linked to Folic Acid? What tests do you want them to do for you?

Jasmak - How did they find out your uterus was adhered to the other side? Can they only do that from internal testing?

Rachael - I'm really sorry about your recent loss. I know that you had everything crossed that this one would stick xx I've heard about toxoplasmosis causing mcs. Is there anything they can do to help?

BKLove - I know that trying baby aspirin & progesterone suppositories won't be the answer, but I suppose we still put hope in that it will work don't we. Hope you are going through the ectopic ok? What will the reproductive endocrine specialist be able to help with?

Omi - Are you TTC now? Luckily my hospital seem to be good in that respect too. I'm to call when I get pregnant. What is the levothyroxine supposed to help with?

Sorry for all of your losses girls... Hope we get all the answers we all deserve and next time it is our time. All I'm asking for is for one baby - not too much to ask is it xx

Well, I had an HSG (hysterosaplingogram) and that came back clear, I have had several vag u/s, and everything came back clear. My specialist told me that he did not expect to find anything with this surgery (lap/hysteroscopy/D&C) but perhaps mild endo. No endo, but the uterus problem was found..which was quite unexpected. I recommend it to anyone having troubles TTC, or staying pregnant...both of which I have. Did it solve the problem...stay tuned...
Sorry for butting in on your thread ladies...I have never gone through the tragedy of a m/c and have so much respect for you all staying so strong...just wanted to mention something about uterine adhesions.
I was told I would not be able to conceive naturally due to various things going on...PCOS, endo etc...went to see a fab gynae last year and he took me in for an exploratory lap in dec since I was having lots of pain...he found my uterus, left tube, ovary were all adhered together with old scar tissue...he separated them...and 10 days later...boom...I was pregnant. When I went for my follow up app my fab gynae said it is quite common for women to conceive following that kind of op. Possibly something the medical bods need to look into??

PS...my op was done privately...my GP wouldnt even believe that I had a problem.

Best of luck to you all...and sorry again for butting in!

Right girls! Help and guidance needed here:

5 MC's in 12 months (blah, blah, blah beginning to fell like an old record) so my new gyn is doing further tests and one being PROGESTERONE!!!!! my old gyn doesn't believe this causes MC but after reading the net I see it can.

So has anyone had their progesterone check? If, so what are the levels meant to be

I've ordered B Complex - is anyone on this?
