Re: 3 m/c-should I request testing?
I'm so sorry for your losses.
If it were me personally I'd have testing done. At a minimum I'd ask for thyroid levels and a 7dpo progesterone check and probably request progesterone supplements for future pregnancies immediately upon getting a BFP.
There's a post on the TTCAL Blog that covers some of the RPL testing if you're interested.
RPL Testing
Best of luck in whatever you decide.

Sending you lots of hugs. No one should ever have to go through this once let alone multiple times. After our second loss, we went to an RE and got further testing done. He wasn't able to find much for either me or my husband but we are so incredibly glad that we went to him because he has been very thorough and we continue to see him.
Your OB might be able to do some general testing for you too.
I don't really have an answer to your question as I'm in the same boat. I have an almost 3 year old son, had one miscarriage with DH while TTC DS and one miscarriage when I was in college, so like you 3 total but not consecutive. And I had no issues during my pregnancy w/ DS, so obviously I can have a healthy pregnancy. I saw my regular endo yesterday (not an RE) and she suggested I get some tests done for clotting disorders. We know my thyroid and hormones were perfect when I got pregnant this last time around because my endo was monitoring everything closely so that wasn't the issue this time around. (Both earlier miscarriages were before my thyroid disorder/PCOS was diagnosed.)
I will probably ask my midwife (I currently see midwives within an OB practice) to order the blood clotting tests and if/when I get pregnant again I'll probably also request the progesterone test just to be on the safe side.

Hi!
I have had 3 MC's since the birth of my son 3 years ago... I have had so much testing done by my OB but everything is coming back normal. I am contemplating getting immunology testing done but this can be very $$ but if I can get some answers it would definitely be worth it... anyone gone this route after multiple MC's and no answers?
