HCG injection for recurrent miscarriage?

Liveinhope · Jan 25th, 2009, 04:35 AM

Hi everyone,

I have just turned 39 and have had 5 recurrent miscarriages (early at around 5 weeks). I found out that I am pregnant with chance number 6 last week and was given a HCG injection to try and sustain the pregnancy. I have these weekly for the next few weeks (subject to be not losing the baby)

HAs anyone had this treatment?

The worse thing is that I have no idea if I am still pregnant..............until 1 6 week scan.....or my period arrives........

Congratulations on your pregnancy and

for all of the uncertainty.

I think this is what my sister had, she had two m/c after her first baby was born and then when she got pregnant again she had regular injections. My nephew is now a boisterous 10yr old so it def worked in her case!

Sending lots of sticky glue your way

Thanks for the replies.

It is worse than the 2ww this!!! Plus this would be my first child so I have nothing to compare it to.

Hopefully this time will be the time for you. I've heard people take baby aspirin too.

I haven't heard of this, but I really hope it works!!! Also, I am going to ask about it at my appointment on Tuesday, as I too have recurrent m/c.

Hi Nicola

Congratulations on your pg.

I had to reply to your post because i am hoping it will give you some hope.

I have just put my little Olivia Rose who is 3 weeks old tomorrow in her moses basket i cannot believe she is here!!
We have 2DS then we decided to try for another baby between Dec 06 & Dec 07 i had 3 rmcs. We had the tests at epu all came back normal so we decided to try once more.
So nine months began last April i started on asprin 75mg & HCG injections 3 times a week as soon as i got BFP! We were scanned every 2 weeks until 14 weeks then stopped the injections at 16 weeks. I am convinced that the HCG injections helped to sustain the pg all my losses were between 8-9 weeks when i lost all pg symptoms.
Love Lise & Olivia Rose x x x
I know it is scary that first scan but i hope that you have a successful pg like i did with Olivia

wow. It sounds hopeful, so good luck to you! I think i'll ask about that as well the next time I get a positive on that stick. I'm tired of going through the mc process.

All, I had my 2nd HCG this morning - but now I have light brown discharge which is normal for me before a period. I am sure that this means my 6th loss.
