Tests for MC Causes

[usuk]

Hi everyone,

I had all these tests after my first MC. Did anyone have these tests done more than once? All were negative but I MC again. Baby tissue was "normal kareotype". And I had the camera in my uterus test too. Thanks for any insight.

Did your partner have his DNA fragment test?

I also went through all these blood tests, had my glucose and thyroid measured, did an endometrial biopsy and chromos. compatibility with my partner...the Dr. found I have anticardiolipin antibodies so when I TTC again I will be taking fragmin injections.  

I wish you well.

Thanks Y.
I am loosing my mind.
My first MC was 14 weeks.
My second was around 8 or 9.
And I am under risk right now for a 3rd MC, at only 6 1/2 weeks.
I am getting less far along each time.

I did have all those tests for multiple miscarriage with the exception of hysteroscopy.  This was done prior to multiple m/c testing during infertility testing.  I did have some abnormal results.  

It sounds like in your case, your miscarriages were due to "random errors". So that's defintely a plus.  Just keep trying and you'll get that good egg which translates to good healthy embryo.

Hi there,
I am also undergoing some initial testing such as blood clotting, immune  and other type of  blood tests, including chromos. compatibility with my husband. Next week I have an hysteroscopy basically because my doc told me that my cavity isnt empty & clean as it should be even after 3 mths post m\c, and that test  should give us the final green light to TTC. It can be very overwelming, always trying to search for that CAUSE, but stimes there just isnt, and its just like Adgal says : pure bad luck of non viable eggs or sperm for that matter, that developed into an early stage embryo, but something had just gone wrong, with the growth and development of the embryo.
The hardest part for me is  actualy waiting 4 mths for all the test results (and NOT TTC), however it's actually very reassuring for me that at least I did everything I could to look for that cause even after only 2 m\c (consecutive), in order to avoid another m\c IF there was a compelling reason for it, that could have been avoided by perhaps, even the simplest treatment.

Good luck  to you,

Anette

I just went through all this testing (I am not sure if all was exactly the same as you, but I do recognize some of it) for the first time over Dec. and Jan. The only test that has been repeated (as far as I know) was the baby tissue.  I had that tested twice, and same result as you.  Same thing, everything came back normal except I have fibroids.  My OB's conclusion is that I just have not found a healthy egg yet, and it's been bad luck.  I'm sorry you m/c again.  I will fully admit I am scared to try again, but here I sit in the tww.  I am not sure that repeating the testing is something I would do, as in all honesty it was incredibly stressful to me.  If you do repeat it, I would be very interested in hearing what the results were..perhaps something was missed the first time?

I am sorry that you are going through all this, and I wish you all the best.  Take care.
