Posting here too because I had posted here early after my BFP this time -
We went in for our routine appointment this AM at 13.5 weeks and there was no heartbeat. Fourth loss in a row and the third after 12 weeks. I can't believe this happened again, and we have to go through this again. No answers. Our NIPT came back normal last week. It's looking like I will have a d&c on Wednesday. Ugh.

Oh, sweetie. I am so, so, so sorry. This is horrific, my heart is broken for you. I'm sending so much love your way, I wish I could do more. I'm so sorry.

Thanks for all the kind words. I’m so frustrated that this has happened repeatedly yet no one can tell me why. Clearly something isn’t going the way it should. I was going to ask my ob if there was anything else they could send my placenta to test for after the d&c. Fetal microarray is already planned. I feel like I’m now in a super small sub group of rpl, seemingly when the placenta takes over, something goes wrong. Anyone by chance know anything or have experience that might be helpful?
I am so deeply sorry. While I usually avoid Baby Center like the plague, they have loss groups that discuss issues like this. It might be worth checking out. I've seen some people have success after rpl by staying on prednisone or other drugs that suppress the maternal immune system. There are many risks and not a lot of doctors will prescribe, but it might be worth looking into.

Thanks for the kind words. I think the only “stop” left is reproductive immunology. I’m considering it, though I think it’s expensive. I also am not sure that I could do this again. We went into the one before this thinking it was our last try, and then after meeting with re and mfm, we decided to give it one last try. I joined the Facebook group for reproductive immunology this fall, and I know the well known dr an hour from me books out months. I may end up booking something that I could always cancel. I really feel like I just want answers, even if I don’t want to try again.
