I have had all blood tests done all is fine, ive had an MRI of pelvis all is fine, Ive had ultrsound of pelvis all is fine,my husband has had bloods done and sperm tests all is fine, my gyne is lost and says he doesnt know what to do for us apart from telling us to keep trying..im thinking of IVF but i dont know if that might end in miscarriage either, it will cost us $6,500 a cycle..someone plz give us something to work with, loseing hope..thanks in advance..

I would definitely consult a reproductive endocrinologist.

Unfortunately fertility becomes more difficult after age 35 due to egg quality which is age related.  Since your m/c's are early, I would guess there was chromosonal issues.  But the good thing is you're relatively young - I would think consulting a re would be beneficial - in fact I wouldn't waste a minute making that appointment.  You can at least get some information before figuring out how to pay for it.

There are lots of things re's test for that ob/gyn's don't so I'm willing to bet that there's additional bloodwork that's needed.  Goodluck w/everything.

Ok well if they were all early I would say you need your blood work done! I would check your estridole on CD3 and a baseline for progesterone, then 7 days after ovulation you need your progesterone re checked. That is a leading cause in early miscarriage! I had several MC and early births and no dr ever checked mine till now. Mine was 6.14 on 9 days past O. That is very low!

here is a web page that tells the levels and days to check. If it is not your husbands sperm, and not the age of your eggs then it would have to be your progesterone! What ages are you MC? The progesterone makes the baby attach to your uterus and your uterus keep the baby attached! You can try over the counter preogesterone cream before you get checked but you probable have too low of levels and will need progesterone vaginal suppositories. Best of luck!
