testing prior to IF treatment(m/c mentioned)

raytw · 02-16-2006, 08:23 AM

hopefully, it will help some of you. reading some posts lately has made me feel the need to post this again

i had a m/c at 6 weeks on our first ivf attempt- after this i insisted that the RE test me for anything that may have caused the m/c. it was found that i am prone to blood clots. i now see a hemotoligist and will be put lovenox to prevent clotting when we do our fet. i know many many girls that have had m/c do to the same problem.

i wrote a letter to my RE and actually sat down with him and read the letter to him in which i expressed my GREAT belief that it should be STANDARD PROCEDURE to do this basic testing work up BEFORE going ahead with any IF treatment or at least be given the option to have the testing done to identify anything the might cause a m/c prior to having one. With all that is a stake - all the heartach-all the money. it is the least that can be done.

we cannot get back the life we lost, but maybe, can prevent some one else from going through the same heartbreak.

So, If possible, I would advise everyone to DEMAND testing on anything that could cause a m/c before going forward with any IF treatment.

MAYBE THIS COULD BE POSTED AS A STICKY. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT THOUGH. THANKS

Its wonderful that you are thinking of others as you go threw all of this. I don't know that I have that problem but just wanted to thank you and tell you that you are a special person. What is the actual test called. I would love to know if I was tested for it. I have had 2 mc. Thanks and the best of luck to you.
