Sarina & Lynzi, sorry to hear what u both have went through! :-/ ...If it's any consolation, i have had 2 MC too before i hv my girl! It is my good fortune that i decided to change my gynae & found out later that i have this special antibody in my blood...which basically stops the oxygen/blood supply to the placenta
...which is v likely the reason why the past 2 pregnancy didnt last...so their solution is to take heparin injection daily to thin the blood so that there wont be blood clot around the placenta.
& juz as my hubby & i were discussing if i really would wanna take the jab daily during the pregnancy, we realized we were pregnant again ...i injected myself daily till my girl is born! & by right i hv to inject myself for another month after the bb's born but once the bb's out...i hv no more courage to inject myself thereafter!!! Anyway, juz wanna say that do hang tough, am sure there's always light at the end of the tunnel!
& i found this via the net ...juz in case some wonders what is this antibody...what my gynae explained is that the immue system didnt recognize that that is a baby ...immue system thought is something foregin & hence have to attack ..therefore produce such antibody to stop the blood/oxygen supply to the placenta ...
Treatments for recurrent miscarriage when there are antibodies in the mothers blood.
--------------------------------------------------
Miscarriage can be very distressing for parents and their families. Miscarriage is sometimes associated with substances in the mother blood called 'antiphospholipid antibodies' or 'lupus anticoagulant'. These antibodies are associated with clotting and so it is suggested that anticlotting drugs may be helpful. The review found the quality of the included trials was quite variable, and that prednisone appears to have adverse effects so it has no role in the treatment of recurrent miscarriage. However, a combination of unfractionated heparin with aspirin may be helpful but there are potential side-effects for mothers. More research is needed.
