is there any type of test for males ? regarding fertility and compatibility for multiple miscarriges
i had 1 still birth at 32 weeks in 2004 and 7 miscarriges i been seen by 4 different hospitals and i just dont know what else to do
the 1st pregnancy isnt my partners it was my ex's kid!
than the rest of them the furdest we got was 16 weeks now proffesor bennet said that there is no such test to check if we are compatible
but i still find that hard to belive. me and my partner been trying for almost 4 years now what the proffessor said was that none of the 5 D&C's i had have been sent to the lab to get tested for chromosomal issues
proffessor mentined that i have to fall pregnant again too see what happens and if i loose it and if they catch it on time they will send the tissues to the lab to get it checked properly
is this risky i'm 25 yrs old now i just turned! the proffessor thinks that me been 25 now i have a better chance of having a sussess full pregnancy ?
would there be anything that they didnt consider ?
i dont have loupus
i dont have any type of anything wrong with me
i'm a beta thalasemia carrier
everything seems to be perfect but 8 losses is a bit much i could handle another one just to find out what is wrong but more i dont think i could can anyone help me in any way any idea what i could ask the proffessor when i see him next time i'm pregnant

Hi!
Is there any possibility that you could see a genetic counselor and high risk OB specialist? You are absolutely correct that something is not right.
Two things that I can think of right off the bat--do you know if your partner is a thalasemmia carrier? Or any other type of anemia/hemoglobin problem(eg. sickle cell)? HE should definitely be tested too, as if you are both carriers this can cause major problems--the babies don't make blood cells and can not survive.
Also, I would want to test your karyotype and his too. A karyotype is a test of your chromosomes and is what you are trying to find when you are asking for a compatability test. If either one or both of you has a chromosome problem, that can cause lots of miscarriages. By the way, I should warn you that these are very expensive tests!
If you were my patient, I would march you and him right over to the genetic counselor for a complete family history. I would also want to double check for lupus, diabetes, and test your uterus for any problem like a septum (a divider in the cavity causing it to be heart-shaped). (The test is called an HSG) There are all kinds of technologies available to help you have a child if the cause of the problem can be determined. It must be heart-breaking to have so many losses!
Be a little pushy and see if you can get a referral to a good specialist!
Good luck!
