First of all I am so sorry for your losses...I couldn't imagine the pain that you have gone though...I was wondering the same thing as nunu. Have they offered you any sort of testing? They should since this was your 3rd. Keep us updated on what happens...You will be in my thoughts...

after that many M/C are they offering to do tests. usually they wont test until three M/C in a row.
I have known woman that have had two or three in a row and then go on to have healthy babies.
I have only had one M/C so I cant offer any experience on this but I would ask your Dr what tests can be done to find out if there is anything wrong or if it was just nature doing its thing because of chromosome mismatch.
lot of baby dust to you!

firstly i am so sorryfor your loss,

i would try baby asprin, in small doses it's not harmful in early stages of pregnancy and may not work in some case's it's something i am keen to try myself, you may be m/c due to a clotting problem or it could be a million other reasons they just can't tell you or can't be bothered until you had several m/c which is emotionally traumatic for us, they treat us like another statistic but to us it's our baby we have lost our flesh and blood our loved one, but they see it so often i suppose, but it's not a valid excuse not to help.

you could have certain tests now like checking your partners sperm count and quality, checking both for any underlying health problems down there ie,infections no i'm not hinting on std's don't worry it's common to have the odd water or bacteria infection.  i would also check both blood types see if they are a compatible match.
it also depends on whether your m/c due to a growth defect of baby, or through hemorrhage where the lining of your womb has broken down bringing your pegnancy to an early end, there are just so many possibilities, i have also heard of some women who have had their cervix sewn in early pregnancy to prevent m/c i think this is only when the cervix is too weak to cope with the weight of the womb.


sorry i know this is the same advice i have already given to someone else too but i'm not a doctor i can't do specific answers.
i'm hoping i don't m/c again so i'm eating healthy taking folic acid joined the gym and all the usual things we do to increase our chances but something tells me why should we have to try so hard when there are some women out there like drug addicts and alcoholics that don't look after themselves but then still go o to have a healthy baby, seems unfair to me, but it just goes to show you won't miscarry cos of something you think you did wrong.. after 3 m/c over here (uk) doctors would do tests is this a possible option for you?

good luck and best wishes
