Recurrent Miscarriages

Thanks. I am at a loss for losing my babies in early term. So i m hoping to do some test and getting things check to sustain a healthy pregnancy.

Kkh asked me to consider doing chromosome test which i have not reply. I wonder if i do at kkh or should go NUH since they are more specialize in this area then go back kkh to see them with NUH report. NUH is rather far from my place.

Hugs!! its really heartbreaking journey for us here ... keep positive :)

Any other test that kkh suggested? I do think nuh abit over testing , cos its all the test or nothing. so many tubes of blood. they want to rule out all the possibilities.

If cost is not a concern, it's good to know. i mean comparing to ivf/ iui ....
I wasted a few months thinking whether i should do it or not.

Wat else can i do to get preg n stable baby..

oh no, did u consult yr doc? how many tablets did u take?

my first time took me abt 6 weeks 1st cycle, start back to normal. i think it was 4 tablets, vaginally.

2 MC was what I wrote above. I took 3 tablets , orally this time, followed by another 3 few hrs later. There are a few very good websites , specifically for this drug. off hand I can't remember.

Any ladies diagnosed w higher natural killer cells after the autoimmune system blood tests prescribed by Dr choolani/Sheila vasoo? I'm having difficulties w implantation after 2 failed Ivf. Just spent $2k plus on full suite of blood tests w dr Sheila.

Just wondering if my problem is really due to overactive immune system (higher natural killer cells) protecting me fr falling sick (I really seldom fall sick), should I stop all supplements and intentionally make my body weaker and maybe the embryos will implant?

Been trying actively for 3.5 years now and went through 1 iui and 2 failed Ivf fresh cycle. Wanna find out the cause before I go for my next cycle and use up my last round of grant.

Only thing I haven't tried is PGD to test quality of my froZen embryos but that costs a bomb and NUH and KKH are still waiting for approval.

No other apparent issues.

Wait for the blood test result first for Sheila to diagnose you. Don't stop your supplements! I don't think NK cells n falling sick has correlation . Pgd test for known genetic issues. If you don't have any they won't do any testing. I think you are referring to PGS. Which test the number of chromosomes only. The trial is Starting soon and only avail for fresh cycles

New to this forum - Just had my second m/c 2 weeks ago and completing my mini-confinement at home. My sisters and mil have been encouraging me to try TCM. I have 3 main problems: 1. 37 year old this year. 2. Lost first baby at 14 weeks due to severe heart failure in Down Syndrome baby. Lost second baby (IVF first cycle success) at 8 weeks due to no fetal heart rate. Final diagnosis coming up end of this week. 3. I still have 3 frozen embryos from IVF but I'm very worried that I'll miscarry again. The senior consultant gynae seeing me feels that going for RPL clinic after 2 losses may be too aggressive for ppl in mid-30s.
Questions are:
1. anybody had success with convincing DH to come along for TCM with u? Any tips/advices on how to persuade them?
2. Anyone had success with their IVF or frozen embryos transfer after miscarriage from IVF fresh cycle?
I'm still seeking answers as I come to terms with 2 pregnancy losses in 2 years. And it's not easy for me to conceive too...

Answering question #2, I did. If you may refer to my previous post, I finally had my rainbow baby (using frozen embrio) after 2nd miscarriage. This miscarriage was at around 17wks & 20wks since it was twins.

Hope this can give some encouragement. Oh and yes, we owed a lot to Prof Mahesh & Dr Sheila for this success.
 
I'm also planning to get referral letter from PolyClinic to NUH for RPL treatment. Anyone can share the experience? I'm 33 this year and married for almost 3years but had 2 recurrent MC since Oct last year. My gynae and KKH A&E gynae told me that it's very normal to have MC.. but I'm quite determined to find out what's the problem. I wonder if polyclinic will ask me to try again after recovering instead of seeking RPL treatment due to my age.

Hi rinapua85! I went to Polyclinic and got a referral to kkh. The doc refered me to obs which I don't know if it's correct. She told me not to have high hope as the obs may tell me to try naturally instead of going through all the assessment. After I got the referral letter has to go kkh to make appointment to see doc. I felt a little dejected when the doc say that so I haven't make appointment to see obs in kkh yet. Besides, I'm suppose to go for follow up with my gynae next week so I will decide after that.

Ohh you didn't request to go to nuh? I thought nuh was the one with the RPL clinic?
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/she-helps-couples-with-recurrent-miscarriages

I was with kkh for fertility treatment, during my miscarriage my gynae gave me a series of tests to check thyroid etc and they came back alright, hence I'm wondering if a miscarriage specialist may be able to help me..Any reason y u didn't ask to go nuh?
And seriously ppl should take us more seriously instead of brushing us aside and saying we r too young...

I heard kkh also have rpl treatment plus I'm considering to switch to see a gynae in kkh. Perhaps I should just ask for referral to nuh.

Hi @cilipadiloo

Hugs!! Hope you are recovering well.
my hubby's confidence in TCM is not quite high. but he went along initially. one TCM said he was fine.

I think DH saw that I was sooo upset by the MC, he was willing to go along. Maybe u can explain to yr DH that TCM is good with hormonal issues, balancing the body which may help improve chance of pregnancy. my latest TCM which I just started last month, I decided to go alone. Just ask DH to take supplements.

All the best and baby dusts to u!!
 
Yea heard they just started one.

Sigh..remember we talked abt having our rainbow baby after the miscarriage 4mth ago?..I thought my rainbow baby finally came...it was without ivf some more....but it ended up in chemical pregnancy last week...

did they take like 12 or more tubes of blood from u? I can't remember the exact no. but it was A LOT. no specific time for those.

Only the vaginal scan must be on 2nd/ 3rd day of menses.
I think they took 1 blood test together. I can't remember which tests... sorry.

I remember that I went twice to draw blood. One was a 16 tube draw, the other was maybe 3 tubes. The results came in a summary report so I can't tell which sample was used for which tests.

If different timing is needed, the nurse should inform you. Perhaps what the doc ordered for you need not be done at a fixed time. I suspect the hormone level test need to be done at a specified time while the others are like anytime during the cycle. I rem I did the "anytime" draw v soon after appt because the nurse told me those will take a long time for results. Then I waited for period to come to do the remaining.
 
Hi,

Hi Strawberrymelt,

Your best bet is to consult Professor Choolani who is the specialist in the recurrent miscarriage area. You can see him in either NUH clinic or Mount Elizabeth Novena.
 


Sorry gals, it is better that if you gals want, you form another recurrent miscarriage group, as I am now stationed most of the time in Shanghai of China, due to my husband's job nature.

Also, it is a bit difficult to access Whatsapp in Shanghai these days, as need to pass through VPN (Virtual Private Network).
