I am so sorry. I have experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage as well. I understand your grief and sorrow. It is good to see you realize the blessing you have in your four year old daughter. Hug her close. Life is truly precious, isn't it?

I never thought I would have children, but slowly and surely I now have two bio boys and a new baby girl through adoption...at my age! So life has many twists and turns.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Kathleen

Dear Caroline,

I'm so sorry for your loss and for not posting earlier. I've been away in Australia for a scientific conference.

As a mother who lost 8 pregnancies to recurrent miscarriage before my sons were born I undersstand how devastated you must feel.

Routine blood tests don't really tell us very much. One you have had 3 losses most recurrent miscarriage specialists would recommend a complete work-up to rule out an immune issue. But this should be handled by a specialist in the field. Recently I attended a post graduate course on this topic given by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. One of the doctors who spoke was Dr. William Kutteh who is a reproductive endocrinologist specializing in recurrent miscarriage. You may want to arrange a visit with him or at least a telephone consult: http://www.fertilitymemphis.com/medicalteam.asp

Best, Lenore

Sorry for your loss. Recurrent miscarriage is very frustrating. Recurrent miscarriages can happen because of chromosomal abnormalities, hormone imbalance, lifestyle, PCOS, etc. Making the decision to go in for another pregnancy is difficult after a repeated miscarriage. But you need to be strong.
