Recurrent Miscarriage Tests
So after three miscarriages in 18months i have been referred to my local hospital for tests. just wondering what to expect from this appointment and what they test for?

since you have had 3 recurrent mcs, it is worth trying to get referred to a specialist Recurrent Miscarriage clinic such as St Marys. you will need to get the consultant at your local hospital to refer you. They may have vast more experience than your local hospital eg at my local hospital I was identified as having a bicornate uterus. but at RMC, they identified it was a septate uterus whch has a higher mc rate.
Anyway you and your dh/partner will get blood tests taken - which will check if there is any chromosomes problem, sticky blood sydrome. There is probably a lot more, but i cant remember exactly what they are.
I would highly recommend Dr Lesley Regan's miscarriage book - it is very sensitively written, but also gives hope.
good luck
Good luck, and I hope you get seen soon x
i went back for a scan which they said was fine.
and we've both had blood taken and am waiting on the results
bellehelene - all three of my mc's have been early ones although one didn't come away until 9 weeks but there wasn't much stuff that came away so they think it was just early.
i;m pleased scan was fine but impending sense of dread that we won't get any answers.....
