hmm just to share with you.. this is exactly what happened to me too. i had two pregnancies.. both early spotting.. baby never made it past 7 weeks, couldn't find a heartbeat.
my gynae kept telling me it was 'normal', miscarriages are common.. they do not do any testing until it happens 3 consecutive times at least.
well, i just felt that something was wrong, and i didn't want to go through anymore unnecessary mcs, so i insisted that we get tested. i asked for a full miscarriage profiling and also did a karyotype for both my husband and i. the karyotype test is not cheap - 500 plus per pax. my gynae was still rather confident and told me, don't worry 99% of the time, these tests come back all normal.
i turned out to be the 1% with a problem! and i got diagnosed with balanced chromosomes which only happens to 0.01% of the population.
saw a genetic counsellor who told me i could continue trying naturally and risking more miscarriages.. or go for ivf with pgd, so they can select genetically normal chromosome embryos before transferring back to me.
i'm definitely not saying our situation is exactly the same! but asking for the tests really helped me move forward with less fear since i know now exactly what is going on in my body..
did your dr suggest ivf? what was the reason for it??
