4 miscarriages in a row. It’s my egg quality, right?

Some parents think that they 'shouldn't have to change anything' to be parents. Some parents think 'everything will change' in becoming a parent. Both perspectives, and every perspective in between, and those perspectives beyond, are valid. But, if your child needed to not eat peanuts to survive, would you insist on feeding your child peanuts? Yes, deliberately attempting to build tolerance to peanuts and bee stings can be attempted, but what would you be willing to do, what changes would you be willing to make, for your child, if you needed to for your child to survive?

Offering a story of hope. I had 3 consecutive losses, all from IVF pregnancies (9 embryos transferred in total). Normal RPL and karyotype. I never got pregnant on my own. We switched clinics and tried again with PGS. Got 6 normal embryos from one round. The first transferred is now a rambunctious 16 month old. Things we did different: Natural FET with antihistamine protocol. Somehow, I ended up getting pregnant naturally when my son was around one. Hugs, and best of luck to you.

I haven't read all the comments but did see that Dr. Abbasi recommended donor/adoption and forgive me if you are happy to have that closure, but I don't think that's it for you, especially at your age. I had crappy egg quality too, but age was always kind of on my side (first loss of 5 non-consecutive losses was at 33/34, 4/5 after heartbeat). For me it ended up needing to be a combo of new clinic with a new protocol and immunology. I dropped out of SG shared risk and went to Cornell where my protocol was completely revamped. Had noticeably better success with IVF and started getting pregnant but endured two more losses before bringing in immunology (Braverman). Had one child under his care, 2 more losses and then another child via FET mimicking the immunology protocol. I'm in a Facebook immunology/loss group and stories like yours abound (with success). It's a rabbit hole, immunology, but I do think if you want it, you can probably achieve it.

I had three miscarriages in a row, including a pair of identical twins. After testing, it appears that I have Antiphospholipid syndrome, which is an autoimmune disorder. It causes clotting which affects the placenta and its ability to supply blood and nutrients to the fetus. After the diagnosis, I was put on daily baby aspirin and lovenox for the entire pregnancy. My daughter was born healthy and full term.

All of this is hard. Hugs OP.

I had a healthy child then secondary infertility with three early losses. Then, took a break did the testing including two saline ultrasounds. They put me on folic acid for possible MTHFR; they had already previously tried baby aspirin and progesterone.

I’m in the third trimester of pregnancy now so it appears to have worked. I’m 33 which might have made a difference. I also did acupuncture and the month I got pregnant decided not to care if it didn’t work which might have helped.

OP, so sorry. You are not alone. I had 3 consecutive losses and was successful at age 40 with confirmed MTHFR. Blood clotting can be a real problem, especially when you consider how small everything is that needs to develop. Baby aspirin, progesterone, and lovenox were my heroes. Go for a second opinion. Even fly to an expert. That is what gave me piece of mind and a very different way of handling the whole thing and a different outcome. Be strong. Go with your heart. Your body doesn't just turn off with a certain age.

I had six miscarriages all due to endometriosis. Once I had laparoscopic surgery I was able to get pregnant and had a healthy pregnancy.

This.

Ask about Femara. Worked for a friend after multiple losses. I know it's usually used for ovulation/IUI but she went to a specialized RE who did this protocol and it worked for her.

Good luck OP, so hard.

For me it was due to a balanced cell translocation. Have you had genetic testing? Also it’s a good sign that you are able to get pregnant at least. Hang in there, I know it’s hard.
