Long post sorry, but desperate.

I’m no expert at all but have you looked into the taking aspirin theory? My TikTok is full of miscarriage/pregnancy videos having gone through it myself and I’ve found a lot of woman started taking an aspirin a day and it stopped them miscarrying again. Also when you get pregnant does the dr put you of progesterone? Another thing to help keep the pregnancy. Something I’m not sure if it relates to you or if it’s even accurate but I’ve come across it a couple times is blood type. Like if yours are RH neg but the dad is pos then your body may attack the pregnancy. The getting pregnant part I’m unsure it took me a few months again and it seemed I wasn’t ovulating when I thought I was and as soon as I tried earlier it happened. Best of luck xx
@Shannon I messaged and waved at you yesterday. Not sure if messages get through if we aren't already connected?
@Hayley thanks for replying. The aspirin thing I've heard a bit about. Do you take it before conception or just once you are actually pregnant? Yes we had progesterone last time we were pregnant, it did seem to make thing last a bit longer, 8-9wks instead of 6-7wks before MC. If we get PG again I will take it again. Interesting about the RH blood type. Yes I am neg and partner pos. I had the injections for my first pregnancy, do you know when you need to get them in the second pregnancy?
Before conception just the low dose you can buy normally in the shops and then would continue taking it. I’m not sure no midwife has ever mentioned it to me. I’m currently pregnant 35 weeks and wasn’t offered it until the standard time about 20 weeks despite losses. It’s something I would definitely speak to your midwife about asap when you next get pregnant. I’ve saw people say they got the injection earlier but no timeline xx
I would really recommend reading the book 'it starts with the egg' it has helped so many women in my life and I have started putting it's ideas into practice too. I hope this helps xxx
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your journey. Have you asked your GP for a referral to a fertility specialist? They can (and the GP) give you a prescription for cyclogest if you've conceived
I’m currently 22w, with my 9th pregnancy in 3 years. I took 3 months of high dose coq10, omega 3, high level antioxidants, conceive plus vitamins, erm and a few other supplements. I was told it was my egg quality and fell first time trying after that 3 month break/supplements. I didn’t get any help from gynea etc as was just being told it will happen. Did all my own research. I did take progesterone from 5 weeks (positive) and was put on baby aspirin x
Oh and all 8 losses was “unexplained” except one which had trisomy 16. Also I’m 39 too. I really hope something works for you. Just did also change my diet a bit but nothing major. Xx
@Hayley thanks will ask about this at my next appointment.
@Emma have bought it and working my way through it now. Thanks!
@Sara yes I have been referred and have the prescription for cyclogest. Other than that though consultant and GP don't seem to want or can't help.
@Tawnee this is really good and positive to hear. I am also taking a tonne of supplements and have been since Oct, so hopefully this will help our chances. What kind of changes to you diet did you make?
I took as much processed foods/outside foods like takeaways as possible out of my diet. I tried to eat a lot more protein, omega, fresh fruit & veg (organic if I could) I have Ibs but tried to increase my dairy so what little I did eat was full fat. Also cut down caffeine, aspartame, and drank a lot more water. Also look up antioxidant foods, i increased them to support the high level antioxidant supplements. Its basically detoxing your body oh and get a high dose pre and probiotics the gut can destroy your eggs. When I went to gynea and shown all my research and what I was taking I was snubbed at first as I’m not a dr but within 3 months I was pregnant and now successful so I do believe something worked. Also once pregnant I went on progesterone at 5 weeks-14 weeks. Baby asprin, and I switched to proceive. Try to really boost your vit d and folate (methylfolate is best) and get them levels up xx
Hi, message me… im in a similar boat and might be able to offer you advice from my fertility dr that you don’t already have. As it turns out it’s too long to write here as there is a character cap. I’m just starting to try again with some changes after fertility testing… my last miscarriage was September too. Had 4 miscarriages last year too. Have one healthy child too. Hope I can help.
