hello - i was doing some googling and came across this fantastic excerpt from a GYN text regarding the work up and management of patients with recurrent pregnancy loss - RPL. i thought i would share since its difficult to find credible sources of medical advice on the internet.
ETA - the text pulls up where i left off reading but the beginning of the chapter is on page 66
Re: FYI - recurrent pregnancy loss article
Going to look now, thank you for sharing. I have been meaning to go look for this type of article!

i'm not sure what your dr thinks, but mine said it was very expensive to run those tests. maybe she's hesitant to incur that cost if there's something else that she can find?
