Second missed miscarriage in a row?

So sorry you’re going through this, I’ve also had 2 missed miscarriages this past year and waiting on my rainbow - sadly it’s so much more common than I first thought😩 I have managed to be referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic (think I just was lucky to talk to a really understanding gp) Had lots of blood tests just through the doctors and nothing has been abnormal xx

@Aleisha thank you so much for your reply! I m sending you the best vibes, I know it’s very hard. I ll ask to be referred to a miscarriage clinic too. It’s just so draining as I feel I have been in this loop for 6 months now. I had a chemical pregnancy before my first and now this. When I had the first one back in July I was not too worried precisely because I know it happens more often than we’d think, but now another one immediately after, I am in shock… what are the odds?! I m so angry as they keep telling me all is fine (from what they see in the ultrasound, uterus ovaries etc even the c section scar they say is absolutely fine, I haven’t had any blood work done yet though)so I am like, if everything is fine why this is happening to me AGAIN?

So sorry for another loss 💔 when I had my MMC a friend reached out to me who had gone through multiple MC. She actually got tested for a condition called antiphospholipid syndrome which she thinks was the reason for her MC. She was given injections and has since had a baby x

@Jacelyn thank you! A friend of mine also told me this, I think she solved it by taking the aspirin if I m not mistaken… let’s hope they will make me do some tests as I really think something must be off for this to happen twice in a row :(

Definitely look into it ❤️ I just checked my messages with her she took 40mg clexane injections x

I'm sorry about your losses 😔 I had 2 very early losses and did a number of blood tests, all were cleared. It was until recently it was discovered I did have a 10mm polyp which got removed. However I'm quite sure it was bad luck with chromosomal abnormalities that led to the first two losses. Especially as we recently did PGT A testing and also 2 of our 3 embryos were genetically abnormal. I would recommend doing the panel of blood tests and scans on the days just after the period finishes. Don't give up! x

@Sabrina thank you so much Sabrina! Yes, I shall do that! Does the NHS cover this or you did it privately?

For the tests, I went to do these with HCA as they were covered by my private insurance. I don't think the GP covers all of the fertility tests, they may refer you to the gynaecology unit at NHS. I did also got a referral to the recurrent miscarriage center with NHS and the doctor was positive we would have success if we continued to try. I had a list of blood tests that Tommy's shared to me, I'll share the below, you could look into doing some of these. :)

If you have an appointment with the recurrent miscarriage center via NHS, they will likely ask you to do these tests first as that's what they told us, but because I got the list from Tommy's quite early and did these privately, by the time my visit with the NHS recurrent miscarriage center came around, all I had to do was take my blood results to them and ask them for their opinion. :) otherwise just waiting to be seen by them took a few months.

@Sabrina super helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing! I hope this helps other people in the same situation too 🤗❤️

@Sabrina ps: just saw one of the tests of for coeliac disease, I m coeliac and I m wondering if this might have to do with that 🤔

That's a good point to ask a consultation gynaecologist I think. My test for it didn't show up that I had it so nothing was discussed for it. But worth to find out :) Yes I hope the list is helpful to you, and helps others too!

@Sabrina thank you for the list, definitely helpful for when I finally get my referal appointment and can check they do these tests for me!
