I'm lost!!!

I am lost!  My RE's office called me and said my blood work has started to come back (went to RE after 2nd first trimester m/c) and so far so good...all tests are normal.  We are still waiting on cystic fibrosis screening, mycoplasma screening and of course chromosome testing (which takes 4-6 weeks).  I still have to schedule my HSG and thrombosis testing.  The only test that came back not normal was my rubella...saying I'm not immuned, even though I had the MMR shot twice now (before I started school and on when I was in the 5th grade).  Nurse said I can get vaccination or sign waiver and state I know I'm not immuned and want to continue treatments.  I am of course getting the vaccination.  Is not being immuned to Rubella a cause for m/c?  Or is it precautionary if I was to get Rubella, I needed to be immuned?  Just wondering why that was tested in the stream of blood work for my recurrent m/c's.

Yes, you need to take time for yourself and enjoy married life.  My husband and I will be married 4 years this April.  And let me tell you...time flies!

A lot of doctors do not test until you've had 3 or more miscarriages.  But, you have to go with what you feel is right.  If you have doubts, then you need to test.  My OB was all for the referral.  She didn't hesitate.  Because she knew that we needed answers and she couldn't give them to us.  We may do all of this testing and everything come back normal...we won't have any answers as to why this happened, but we will know there is nothing wrong with us and it's just timing.  That we can continue to try until we have a healthy baby that sticks.

We weren't sure with the first m/c because I hadn't had a period in 2 months of finding out I was pregnant.  With the second I was 6 week and 5 days.  My OB referred me to a specialist because she said there could be something wrong with having 2 first trimester miscarriages and we wanted peace of mind when we tried for the 3rd time.  There are a lot of factors that cause m/c's that I was not aware of until now.  So, we wanted the testing.  We hope that we spend all of this money and nothing is wrong and it is just timing and we just have to continue.

Have you decided to try again?

as you know i also had my 2nd miscarriage right around the time you had you2nd miscarriage. finally the bleeding had stopped. it was awfull. the doctors arent even sure if they want to do testing because they say having 2 miscarriages can just be bad luck. the next one most likely will be fine. i dont believe her. she said she will refer me to a high risk OB doctor which i prefer. im going to ask them there opinion when i get the referal. well its a good thing nothing has came back bad but im sure its frustrating because you want to know WHY IT HAPPEND.  i feel the same way. i cant remeber....how far along were you with both miscarriages?
