QUOTE (rosiec @ 27/03/2012, 10:15 PM) Hi Lionguo, Im sorry for your losses. I have experience with the Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic at Genea (formerly SIVF). I endured 4 miscarriages before i had some genetic testing. My GP referred me to the genetics team at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and preliminary testing did identify a genetic issue with me. I then endured another 5 miscarriages before going through the Genea (formerly SIVF) program which excluded any other contributing factors with my husband and myself before we started on IVF with PGD (genetic testing). From memory, the waiting time for the genetics clinic at RPA was about 6 weeks. It involved me speaking with the head of Genetics team (who was also the head of obstetrics) and then having blood tests. That is when we discovered my issue. My Fertility specialist put me through the miscarriage management clinic to check that my genetic issue was the only cause and was not combined with other factors. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like any further information. The Genea testing is very comprehensive and there is a lot involved, but well worth it in my opinion. As my issue was identified after blood tests, RPA didn't do any further testing so I can't compare the full range of services (if there are anymore) with the GENEA program. I would also recommend the specialist(s) I saw, I can't identify them by name on the forum but am happy to tell you MY experience with them if you wish. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like any further information. I wish you and your wife well. Many thanks for your kind information. My husband and I are deeply depressed and our hearts both are broken now. Your kind information really gave us some hope. Hence, we just wonder to know more. My email is : congy515@hotmail.com Could you please send me an email? so that we can connect more. Thanks again.

Hi Op, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost one last year myself. They suspect my under active thyroid was a factor in it. I'm on meds to regulate now. Also some people with recurrent miscarriages have trouble with low progesterone levels and require pessaries to keep them up. Worth checking for these too. The products removed in the d&c can be analysed to check for genetic abnormalities. Just request it when going for the procedure when you are signing all the paperwork. Repeat it to each person you talk to so there is no confusion. I'm also another to recommend the clotting factor tests on your wife's blood. I have a friend who had similar history to you and finally had a successful pregnancy once on the anti-clotting meds. Kitty

So sorry to hear. If you call ivf aust in the city and ask to see the specialist in miscarriages you will get the right one. He is fantastic and after suffering 2 losses we went there and had many tests done. We found the reason and now have 2 kids. I hope this helps.

Hi Lionguo You sent me a PM but I am unable to see it on the screen. The forum admin/help advised that you should do the following, if you want me to read it. Go to "My Controls" (under their username on the left of the screen) Under the Menu (second column on the left) look for the Options subheading and click on Board Settings. In the Control Panel, look for this bit ... "Type of text editor to use when posting" If it is set to Rich Text Editor, change it to Standard Editor (or vice versa). After that, you will need to re-send your PM and then I should then be able see it. No worries if you don't want to do this. Hope all well.
