12 pg, 2 living children, 10 m/c

My medical history is a little long but I will try and keep it as short as possible. :)
April 2002- 1st pregnancy resulted in missed m/c at 8 wks d&c at 14 wks
July 2002- 2nd pregnancy resulted in live birth at 40 wks after high risk pregnancy with biophysical profiles every 3 days, induced labor and IUGR
July 2003- 3rd pregnancy resulting in m/c at 6 wks
Sept 2003- 4th pregnancy resulting in m/c at 6 wks
Feb 2004- 5th prenancy resulting in m/c at 8 wks
Nov 2004- 6th pregnancy resulting in m/c at 15 wks
March 2005- 7th pregnancy resulting in m/c at 9 wks
June 2006- 8th pregnancy resulting in m/c at 6 wks
August 2006 9th pregnancy resulting in m/c at 7 wks
Nov 2006 10th pregnancy resulting in m/c at 6 wks
Dec 2006- Blood work Progesterone levels 0.9 on cycle day 21
               endometrial biopsy on CD 21
June 2007- diagnosed with zero negative SLE (lupus) and zero negative antiphospholipid antibodies
October 2007- 11th pregnancy resuting in live Birth after being treated with
                       -81mg or baby aspirin from day 12 of pregnancy on
                       - 5000 units of heparin injections every 12 hours
                       - biophysical profile and non stress tests done every 3 days
                       - IUGR
                       - emergency c-section at 35 weeks due to blood clots in the umbilical cord
April 2010- 12th pregnancy resulting in m/c at 6 wks

I truly believe that my progesterone levels are low first off thus explaining the early m/c. And therefore would need progesterone therapy before and during early pregnancy. I also believe my blood clotting has a lot to do with the pregnancy loss if by some miracle the embryo makes it past the 6 week mark.
Is it wrong of me to suggest this to my doctor? He is one of the best where I'm from and I credit him with the successful delivery of my youngest DD, I justfeel that I have more time to spend on my individual case that he does. (He has several patients and I'd be naive to believe he spends more that 1 hour a day on my case.)
I pretty much feel I should demand progesterone and anti coagulants for TTC and pregnancy. I feel like several doctors I have seen for this do not take me seriously. I don't exactly fit the profile for a desperate TTC mommy, as I am only 25 and have 2 living children. However the want is still there after so many losses. I feel that as realistic as I am I will continue to try and have another baby. (I do not have my eldest DD since I was young when I had her).
Is it wrong of me to pressure my doctor into giving me these therapies? (Through research I have determined the risks are not high enough to not try) Sorry this was so long I appreciate any advice or suggestions to help with this. Thanks again and baby dust to all you TTC.

Hi, first of all I am so sorry for your losses :(  you must be a very strong woman indeed to have gone through all of this.  I do not think it would be wrong to suggest your findings to your Dr.  I would have thought that based on your history he would be happy to give it a try.  Best of luck to you.

I admire you and your strength i don't think it would be wrong to make any suggestion to your doctor at all i think you have suffered enough heartache and you have done your research. please keep me posted on how you get on i have a daughter who is almost 3 and i have just suffered 3 consecutive miscarriages and to be honest i,m struggling to cope.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate the encouragement :) I have an appointment with my OBGYN on the 27th of this month. He is a specialist in high risk pregnancy but I'm unsure of his experience in fertility. I think I needed encouragement from other women out there. I'm always scared or nervous to make suggestions to my doctors since they are the ones with a PhD and all.
I hope you are right bernie and he is happy to try it. The worst that can happen is another loss  and since we already know I've got that down (srry bad joke), what harm could it do really? I'm actually to the point that if he says no I'm going to purchase the meds from the internet and monitor myself through research and lab kits you can buy online. I just don't think I should have to go that far since we have such advanced techniques these days, plus obstetrics really isn't in my scope of practice.
Charlie2007, I understand where you are coming from :( It is hard every time and in the beginning it was really hard for me since I had given birth to a healthy baby. I credited my first m/c to the %90 of first pregnancies end in a loss statistic. It wasn't until my 4th loss that we started thinking something was wrong. When I was diagnosed with SLE and APAB we thought we had the answer. We still might have the answer but didn't catch the last pregnancy in time to start meds. I really wasn't thinking about getting pregnant yet but now that we know I still can (My IUD perforated in 2009)   we are bound and determined to have one more baby at least depending on what the outcome is.  Sorry I babbled again, My DH is very closed about these things and so I haven't really had an outlet for all this frustration.

Hi, I do really understand your sufferings because I experienced this myself. I miscarried 8 times and the fetus lasts for 7wks at most. I had blood tests and found out that I have a clotting factor called the Factor V Leiden so I was on 81 mg aspirin and Clexane heparin shots during my last pregnancy but unfortunately lost it at 5wks! now I'm on therapy until pregnancy occurs once more. still ttc and will never give up ! My Dr suggested that my husband and I should have a HLA test to see if there were any similarities in the genes that cause the miscarriage. I haven't had this test yet but i searched the internet an found that if we have this there is a cure. so good luck to you ! try to be positive and never give up ! Praying for you, myself and all those ttc.

Oh I am so glad I'm not alone, as horrible as it is and would never wish this on my own worst enemy, it's nice o have someone who understands :) So if there are too many genetic similarities, they can actually treat it? We haven't had any genetic testing done, but we also don't have any reproductive specialists in our Valley, the closest one is in Colorado springs which is over 150 miles south of me. Its ironic that you mention genetics on this, I was just last night going through pictures of my husband and I from when we were kids... The similarities were enough to make me wonder if we were somehow related. People are always asking if he is my brother and we do look a lot alike. I thought that naturally we are attracted to people who look similar to us (it's a bit of natural narcissism humans have.) therefore it would be naturally impossible just based on how biology works with natural occurrences.  
It is all very confusing and I'm just glad that I found this group before I gave up. I also watched Miss Conception last night and bawled the whole time. It sounds so familiar, the biggest sacrifice any woman has to make is not being a mother. Here I go again blabbing lol. Thank you and good luck, I'm blowing baby dust everyones way and hoping for sticky babies!!!

Hi, I'm so glad you're gaining your spirit once more! I was just thinking if you leave all this miscarriage stuff behid your back it would be better for you! Thank God you have children which is really a wonderful gift. Raising them properly is your prior concern.I think it is the blood disorder that causes your miscarriages, so stick to treatment and never give up ! Be optimistic and you'll get your third child soon.  Best wishes!
