TW - Talk of MMC

Hi All **TW - Talk of MMC** Just found out I'm going through another MMC at 10 weeks. This will be my 5th in just under 2 years. After numerous testing and everything coming back with no problems with myself or my partner I'm at a loss of what to do next. This pregnancy I started progesterone pessaries as soon as I got a positive test which was around 3 1/2 weeks. Going back to EPU on Sunday to discuss options. I'm probably going to opt for medical management and send remains off to be genetically tested this time around. I also wanted to hear any experiences with NK Cell testing...as this is something else I've been researching and thinking of testing? I'm 32 and my partner is 46 and the urge to be parents is so strong and we are just left utterly heartbroken once again. We throught this would be the one after seeing a strong and healthy heartbeat on Christmas eve at 7 +2 weeks. Has anyone got any success stories after going through recurrent miscarriage? Any advice would be appreciate and sorry to all the other loss momma's. It really is so unfair x

So sorry for your loss💔

So sorry you’re going through this. I haven’t had NK cell testing, but I am part of the IVF community and lots of people have it there, it may be worth exploring, with you having more than 3 miscarriages you should be able to get help from the recurrent miscarriage clinic. Also Kathryn Ryan had it and she went on to have 2 children once they changed her protocols. You could also consider getting your husband’s sperm tested. One of my work colleagues husbands sperm was an issue and it meant she would always miscarry. It was suggested for my husband before our last ivf round, we decided not to do it but if we had reoccurring miscarriages we probably would have got it tested.

@Danielle Hey! ❤️ I've been discharged from the recurrent miscarriage clinic due to all test coming back normal....all my partners sperm test that we have paid for have come back normal as well with no abnormalities. I've also paid to check my egg quality and no problems there...Also been declined IVF as we can get pregnant...sooo just wondered what my options are now and if NK Cell testing would make a difference and if anyone had any success stories after having NK Cells tested xx

The sperm testing we were offered was DNA testing. It was above the standard testing. It wasn’t cheap though, was about £2000 at my clinic, I would try NK, EMMA and ALICE testing. These are common when ivf has recurrent miscarriages or implantation failures. I would do these first. If these come back normal maybe look at his sperm again.

@Danielle yeah we have done the DNA fragmentation testing too all normal for age and was confirmed that wasn't the problem. Thankyou! Will do some research and mention those at my next appointment ❤️

No direct experience but my friend had recurrent miscarriages, would get pregnant and then have a loss by week 8, about 10 times. Went through 3 failed rounds of IFV and had every test under the sun. After an ectopic, stopped trying for 6 months as she had a lot of trauma and then one month got the green light to try, tried naturally and got pregnant that month! It got to the point where there looked like there may be no hope but a miracle happened and now she has her baby. 🥹 I’m so sorry this has happened to you x

I've been pregnant 7 times, 2 mmc, 2 spontaneous mc, 2 healthy births and my current pregnancy. I had testing, no indicators of why but I just wanted to give you a bit of hope among the grief. My two children are now 12 and 10 and happy and healthy and full of neurospiciness 🥰 I'm sorry you are going through this, it's so hard 😔 ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
