Re: TTC after Recurrent Losses and Secondary IF
Age could be a factor too. I can't see your age but I'd you are late 30s losses ate more common. At your dc will they test the baby?
Welcome to the Board, however I'm sorry that your journey has led you here. You will find that there are quite a few of us here with recurrent losses and secondary infertility. As to where to go from here, had you been seeing RE for Clomid or was your OB/gyn prescribing?
If you are not yet under the care of an RE, I would say you have certainly earned a referral. There are quite a few labs and studies to consider for recurrent loss, such as coagulation abnormalities, autoimmune dysfunction, genetic studies. That would be a starting point.
