Don't know what's causing it

I'm new to MedHelp and also to this forum. I had a miscarriage in January of this year and also in July, both around the 6 or 7 week mark. I can never seem to get past that point. I'm a high risk because I have Epilepsy. If anyone can give me any answers as to why or what could be causing the problem. Please let me know. I appreciate your answers.

In addition to regular bloodwork, my RE did genetic testing.  That is where they found answers for me.  I hope you find answers.

I had 2 m/cs before I had m first son.  The only thing they could find was low progesterone.  There are a lot of blood tests they can do, they usually start with a day 21 progesterone test to see how well you ovulated.  Maybe start there.  I am sorry for your losses and good luck to you.

I had two this year as well and my fertility specialist ran some tests to try and figure it out.  They found out I have MTHFR which means I need extra folic acid and a baby aspirin everyday.  I started taking that along with prometrium (for low progesterone) and now I am 17 weeks and everything is going great so far.  The best thing to do is consult a doctor so maybe they can figure it out.  It may just be a simple thing they can fix like your progesterone levels.  It is worth it.

have they checked your progestrone levels when you are pregnant because if they are not high enough you will miscarry, or it could be a few other things the only way to know is to see a dr and have them run some test on you
