Early week miscarriages

[1denhair]

Hi! I am a 32 years old and I have some many questions.  I've had a total of 4 miscarriages throughout the years and every pregnancy ended at about week 6-14.  The first couple of times I got pregnant, I was on Clomid.  Sometimes I was prescribed Progesterone, to help support the pregnancy.  It would help my levels increase for a while, and then at or around the 12th week I would start bleeding.  Then last year I got pregnant, but the only thing I had taken around that time was an antibiotic.  Cannot remember what antibiotic it was, but I'm thinking it was Amoxicillin.  I've only had 1-DNC and the Dr's told me after the other miscarriages, that they completed on their own.  At the age of 5, I did have a surgery to take care of my Umbilical Hernia.  Let me not forget to mention, I have been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).  Also if it helps, the Dr's never seem to be able to locate a fetus on ultrasound.  But sometime in the miscarriage process, my body does evacuate a small tissue filled cacoon looking thing.  Where could the babies be attaching themselves to?  Because this last time, June of 2009--- I had ultrasound after ultrasound and they saw nothing.  But after being given Methotrexate, instead of a surgery to remove any products of conception---- this cacoon made of tissue came out!  Does anyone know of any studies be conducted?  The Dr's never has any clue as to what's going on, but I've paid out so much money.  Then this is very stressful on me, as a woman to even think that I might not never be able to have a baby.  I'm married and have been married for 3 years, and my husband doesn't know what to think.

Thanks for responding to my post... I actually have been tested and a mutation that was shown was a prothrombin gene mutation--- I don't know how it actually affects the body, but the doc said that it probably wouldn't be the cause of miscarriages...

You may want to get tested for genetic mutations like MTHFR.  This can cause miscarage.

Have the doctors done any type of infertility testing on you?  Check to see if you have a blood clotting disorder, chromosone disorder or anything at all.  

I know what you are going through, I'm 37 had 8 known pregnancies and all end around 5-9 weeks.  Been through all the testing that there is and ours has came up as unexplained recurrent miscarriages.  It's fustrating.  

Has your doctor discussed putting you on metformin for your PCOS?
