[quote=Anonymous]My sister had RPL (3 first trimester losses before her first DC and one second trimester loss before her second DC).  Obviously, from the above, she was ultimately able to carry to term.  I don't think they found anything specific in any of her BW/testing, but she did take baby aspirin during her two successful pregnancies (of course there's no real way of knowing if that's just a coincidence since I think she also took it during the pregnancy that miscarried in the second trimester).  The aspirin supposedly prevents clotting, BTW, which some think leads to miscarriage.

I think she had a doc willing to supervise that regimen, but many are not.  It's frustrating because there is very little data on autoimmune issues and RPL, but given how much IF is unexplained it seems weird that so many in the medical community aren't willing to even consider that it may be a factor so more studies can be done.  My mom also suffered from a few late term miscarriages and has arthritis which is an autoimmune disorder.  I personally haven't looked into autoimmune issues, though I do have a chronic ai disease (IBD/UC which hasn't been linked to IF).  I'm starting to think I should, though.[/quote]
