[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No advice but just wanted to say I completely understand.

I had 5 losses before finally conceiving my now 20 month old son. He was born 6 weeks early due to me developing preeclampsia. I had a c section and my placenta was sent to pathology and SO many things came back that were bad with my placenta. My Dr said it’s actually a miracle my son lasted until 34 weeks with all the issues with my placenta and we now wonder if all my losses were due to placenta issues. We are currently TTC #2 and I’ve again had 3 losses in a row (chemical, blighted ovum + another chemical). So I can get pregnant but again, keep losing the pregnancies. [/quote]

You most likely have immunology issues. The preE and bad placenta are all signs that your immune system is attacking the pregnancy. [/quote]

yes this! See a reproductive immunologist. I had severe pre-E with my first at 29 weeks. Lost three more babies (1 ectopic and 2 early miscarriages of genetically normal babies even while on lovenox because of blood clotting disorder) and my tubes and had a number of failed IVF transfers (1 of a top graded genetically normal embryo). Went to see reproductive immunologist and had all the tests done. Yup, immune issues. Number 2 has been an epic ordeal for me too.[/quote]

I’m sorry to hear this. What treatment have they recommended now for number 2?[/quote]

Predisnone, baby aspirin, lovenox, plaquenil, and IVIG[/quote]

So you have lupus?[/quote]

No - not the PP but also going through the RI protocol. I don't have Lupus. If I did, I would've been taken seriously years ago.

Clotting disorder = baby aspirin, lovenox
Immune cell dysfunction = plaquenil, IVIG

In my case I have extremely high levels of inflammation (TNF alpha) that's being treated by plaq and pred. [/quote]

PP here who is on all that stuff. Exact same issues here. High levels of inflammation (TNF alpha) being treated by plaq and pred. Have HLA-C and KIR mismatches, hence the IVIG. Lovenox and baby aspirin for genetic blood clotting issues. And like you said, if I had lupus, REs would not have just given me the "well then your eggs suck" song and dance, and actually considered immune treatments. I only wound up at a RI because I ran out of real explanations and turned to Dr. Beer's book "Is Your Body Baby Friendly"[/quote]
