[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I had miscarriages in my 30s too and all the tests were normal as well. I changed my diet and ended up having 2 kids (naturally) and currently halfway through #3. So if you haven't tried dietary changes, it might be worth considering, in addition to your other approaches. In my case I didn't have digestion issues and I honestly wasn't expecting much, but so glad I tried it. Good luck![/quote]

Can you describe in a nutshell what you changed or give a link to your diet?[/quote]

Pretty please??? :)[/quote]

Sure. In a nutshell, my diet became only good quality meat, variety of seafood, lots of the best quality produce I could find (I’m on the west coast where that isn’t as difficult as I think probably is on the east coast), good quality pastured eggs, raw milk and cream from a farm I trust, a variety of nuts and sprouted seeds. No gluten or soy, and hardly anything from a packet.

Our food bill went WAY up (DH was doing it with me) and making food took way longer. I waited several months to try to get my body healthier and then tried again, and it worked.

To this day, I'm not sure what exactly it was - maybe it was the fact that I couldn't handle gluten or soy or something and it was setting off some sort of reaction in my body and I just didn’t have any signs and never knew it, or maybe it was just that the new diet with such a lot of good food filled in some deficiency that I had and didn't know about, or maybe a combination of lots of things. Maybe it was all in my imagination somehow (unlikely, but I’m sure some people believe that, and hey, I can’t prove it isn’t true).

I know some people think I'm crazy but I couldn’t care less. I have kids now that I didn't have before. I strongly feel I wouldn’t have been able to have healthy pregnancies if I’d continued on the path I was on, and so it has been more than worth it to me. I don’t think that everyone needs to eat this way, and even the people who need to eat differently might not need to go to such extremes, but for me I was desperate and I wanted to cover all the bases and give myself the best shot I could. Maybe it was just one small change that was necessary, but only my body knew what it was and unfortunately it wasn't talking :)

Hope that helps! [/quote]
