Recurrent Blighted Ovum, Please Help.

Posted By Hana on May 23, 1999 at 11:33:36

I am 31 years old now, I have had 3 blighted ovum pregnancies in the last 2 years, the first was in April 1997, & the last is a current one that is scheduled for D/C next week. I have had several investigations done, including TSH, prolactin, endometrial biopsy, lupus antibody, APA, bleeding studies, & everything turned out to be NORMAL. Fetal tissues were sent for chromosomal studies,for the second pregnancy, & the result was Trisomy 16; we were told that this does not repeat itself, & that most likely our next pregnancy will be normal, but wew are now AGAIN faced with another blighted ovum.
I need advice on what to do, my husband & I are healthy, we are planning to send the fetal tissues again for chromosomal analysis, & to seek genetic counseling. Please give us your advice, what else can we do, & how does our chance of having babies look now. I don't want to give up hope, but I feel helpless. Is this situation common, is it at least heard of, did anybody ever have a history like ours, & ended up having children normally, is there anything in terms of investigations that we have to do, & that might have the answers? Please give your advice.
