Hello ladies, I've had 2 back-to-back miscarriages (1 missed miscarriage, 1 chemical pregnancy) since my husband and I first started trying. We're career professionals in our early 30's and are pretty healthy with no bad habits, and have delayed childrearing years I hope not by too much. My general dr ordered bloodwork; the first test with basic levels (glucose, RBC's, platelets, etc) and liver function came back normal, fortunately. No hormone levels were tested. It's NHS (and free), what can I say. We're still waiting on the results from the lupus anticoagulant test...it seems to be taking a while to do. My last pregnancy was a chemical pregnancy so I would really like to start trying ASAP (I don't think I need to wait another cycle like you do for more progressed pregnancies). My dr thinks that I ought to wait until I get the test results back before we start trying, in case it's positive for the anticoagulant (er, or coagulant?). Anyway, I'm not getting any younger and "baby fever" is hitting my and my hub (mostly because it seems to be a bigger challenge than we thought!!!)- does anyone think it would be a bad idea to start taking baby aspirin *now*, to cover my bases? Or do you think it's best to wait another grueling ~2 weeks to find out if it's necessary (and to see if more tests are required? I hate to waste a perfectly good egg, but I also don't want to be selfish and put another fetus at risk, in case it hasn't been chance all along.
By the way, I'm not sure the dr's will do any further tests until I have a 3rd miscarriage...so that is something to consider. I could give it a go and hope for the best, and if it doesn't work out, then we'll be able to get proper tests done.
