Hi everyone,
I am 31 years old have been T1 since I was 9, I am having a recurrent chemical pregnancies (5 times) I am taking novorapid insulin and levemir + metformin
I did all needed tests for RPL and nothing is wrong except having a sticky blood and I took clexane for this in the last 3 pregnancies but still miscarrying. I also tried steroids and progesterone and have been on folic acid for 3 years.
so my doctor told me that it is unexplained...
any idea or advice would be much appreciated, Thanks
 
@suzan9 I'm sorry you've had so many losses - that must be very hard to deal with.

You say you've had all the tests - has that included scans aswell as blood work? I'm asking that because a friend had unexplained losses and it was found her uterus lining wasn't forming properly and so couldnt support a pregnancy.
 


Thanks azure! I had scans, Hysteroscopy, H.S.G and blood work too, my doctor was always checking my uterus lining and telling that it is ok (was between 7 and 9 mm), also duphastone and cyclogest were prescribed for me.
May I ask you if you know how did your friend know about her uterus lining problem? what was her measures? what medication was prescribed for her? did she then has a successful pregnancy?
 


Thank you catherinecherub, I have just read the article.. we did all the possibilities mentioned there, but I just was wondering, if mine and my husband's chromosomes test came up normal, could it be the embryo chromosomes? and 5 consecutive times?
 

That sounds like you've had thorough checks, so you must be getting good advice. I know it doesn't solve your problem, but I hope it's at least some reassurance you have a good doctor.

My friend's specialist suspected her problems were caused by long term use of a particular contraceptive. Her lining was always too thin even with drugs. I don't remember the measurements but they were noticeably under what they should have been. She found that out after a number of scans to monitor the lining at different times of the month for a few months. She's now taking a break from trying to conceive, so I haven't mentioned it or asked her about it recently. Her partner also has issues so that complicates things.

I know she had a number of investigations, including for 'killer cells'? Sorry, I don't remember the name. It was a set of initials and I think it began with 'N', but I'm not sure. She took Clexane too.
