So how long ago did you have your last mc? Have you been referred to any rucurrent mc clinic?
I am similar to you in that I have a child already, but have 4 mcs in total, 3 of which are recurrent (Feb 08, Sept10, feb 11, and June 11). I have had blood tests done after the mc in Feb 11 all came back normal except one - the one which can lead to blood clotting. But a subsequent test then showed it as normal. I was on aspirin for my last pg, but it ended in mc. I have a bicornate uterus which is common for having later mcs. I have been referred to St Mary's recurrent mc clinic in london and waiting for 1st appointment. I am 39 years old, 40 in March.
looking forward to hearing more about you.
How do you get referred to a recurrent mc clinic? I'm 32 and have no children and starting to worry that I never will x

Oh as well just to say I had a 5cm dermoid cyst removed and I became pregnant with my son 4 months later so I wouldnt worry about that.

I hope you're feeling ok, I just replied to your other thread in ttcam xx
Thanks for asking for this Lisa. I have been following another rmc thread on another site, but never posted. Its good to have one here.
S-evans - I would be very interested in hearing how you get on at St mary's as I am thinking of asking for a private referral there.
As some may know, I have been ttc since I was 40 and just had my third mc in the last year and as I am now an older lady (42) time is running against me somewhat. I sadly don't have any live children.
I got referred by a nice Gp to another recurrent mc clinic in South London and the tests they ran have now showed two things. My thyroid was not working properly so I am now on thyroxine as high levels of tsh can lead to mc. They also told me last week that I have a mutant gene which means I have something called factor v leiden, which can lead to increased risk of clotting although there is no agreed treatment as research on this is fairly scarce as it was only picked up in the 1990s. So some docs will give heaprin etc whilst others wont and my doctor is worried as I have another hereditary problem which means they do't want to give me aspirin or heparin........I would really want to try though if I am fortunate enough to get a bfp again. Its not the same as the anti phospholipid problem which some women have.
Kwn - don't give up and hopefully when you move you might get more assistance. IS there anyway that you could be seen outside of the RAF hospital system?
Hope you are all keeping ok ladies.
Love to all of you

It is nice to share our experiences with people who have went through the same problems.
How is everyone coping with it emotionally? I can totally emphasise with Kwn - I now hate seeing people pregnant or becoming pregnant. I feel quite isolated and bit depressed. Been seeing an counseller (sp?) at work -which has been okay, but still think there are deep routed problems inside me. Anyone got any suggestions on how to remain positive?
